25 Days of Christmas
Returning, triumphant, from 2008, it's The 25 Days of Christmas Fics!
For the 25 days of December, leading up until Christmas, we will post a drabble every day! Requests are now open! This year's theme is KnK Fics, kink-meme style! Here's how to play:
1) Anyone may request a fic. Lurkers are welcome.
2) Multiple requests are fine. Request as many as you want! Request one, think about it, and come back to request more! But...
3) Please post each request in a separate comment. Or else I will become woefully disorganized.
4) Make all requests anonymously. Hopefully Captcha won't give you something that looks like this.
I mean, WTF is that???
Anyway, the reason for this is partly because you are welcome to request wild, outlandish things that you are ashamed to admit to, but also because I don't want to risk the appearance of favoritism in whose fics are chosen, because...
5) Like in kink memes, not every request will be answered. I will answer as many as possible, but it will depend entirely on how many I actually get whether or not that will be possible. I will not actually limit to 25 fics; if I decide to do more I will either post longer or post multiple fics on the same day.
6) Please request in the following manner: Fandom/Original work of choice, character and/or pairing of choice, prompt. Prompts can be vague or specific. Warning: my attitude towards prompts will sometimes involve a lot of creative interpretation. If you want something specific, be specific.
7) The theme is kink-meme style. Let me explain what I mean by this. "Kink" does not necessarily mean sex. It just means "what's your kink", ie what 'turns you on' in fiction. This could be as specific as "character x ties up character y and melts caramel all over him" or as generic as "hurt/comfort". Hurt/comfort is a big fic kink of mine. Maybe you like deathfics. Maybe there's a clip of backstory you've been dying to see. Be creative!
8) However, just because kink doesn't mean sex does not mean you are not welcome to request sexy prompts. I'm anticipating plenty of porny requests. Just don't feel obligated if porn isn't what frosts your cupcake.
9) I am RULING OUT the following possibilities, just because I know I would never write them and therefore there is no point wasting your time requesting them: bestiality and bodily secretions. Note: I don't think there's anything wrong with you if that's your kink. (Well.... bestiality maybe a little.) It's just something that I am not ever going to write.
10) Like in kink memes, the length of the response may vary. Due to the format, most will probably only get drabbles of some variety. However, if I find an idea particularly awesome, I may in fact develop it into something longer. Note that fics of this variety probably won't appear right away.
11) All requests must be in by November 30th.
This is partly something I'm doing as a writing exercise, sort of trying to stretch my boundaries since I've had really bad Writer's Block on everything that doesn't take place in the FIG universe. But also just because it seems like it would be something really fun. =D I'm just sayin', if I wind up writing 25 FIG prompts, I'm sorry.
