So some of you may be familiar with the Star Trek 'Ship Wars' fic challenge. I propose a similar challenge for the Demon's Lexicon trilogy, in honour of the launch of Demon's Covenant. At this stage, we're just trying to get an expression of interest - assuming we get positive results, sign ups will probably open in a couple of weeks and run for

Heh, when I signed up for the ST ship wars, I actually had to make tables of pros and cons for my ships before I could pick one, that is how indecisive I am! Probably it is better for me to just run the challenge, and enjoy AAAALL the amazing ships in these books. I am not actually sure what would consitute a crack ship in this fandom, but I couldn't NOT INCLUDE IT! (Maybe Nick/Knives? Mae/Sarcasm?) Also, I had considered including a 'team rarepair' if anyone wanted to do that, although exactly which ships would fit into that category is a bit ambiguous at this stage (especially without having read Covenant).

I had actually been thinking about the name for team 'tribble', but I hadn't come up with anything yet. Thanks for the suggestions, something Goblin Market-themed does sound like it would be good (but on the other hand, you are right about the Ravens too). Maybe "Team Fever Fruit" would be appropriate? XD

I hadn't even thought about asking sarahtales to mention it, do you think she would? Because it did occur to me that there are probably LOTS of people who would be interested in participating but it is hard to get word out to people who don't follow the comm. I thought maybe banners to promote it might help, but Sarah would reach more people. Although I would feel kinda awkward asking her. Maybe I'll think about it when we've worked this out in a bit more detail and at least got a schedule worked out.

Nick/Knives OTP. Or Nick/Mrs. Crawford, from that last cookie. Or Alan/Sumerian Tablets, or Mae/Sassy T-shirts, or Jamie/Dumbledore Zombie (their love is so undead!). Sarcasm could be shipped with everyone, I believe... For SRS!shipping, I don't really have any strong feelings one way or another--Alan and Mae are geekily sweet together, Sin and Mae are lovely ladies, the first Covenantcookie we got makes it easy to pair Jamie with Gerald and/or Seb, Nick and Jamie could be interesting, Nick and Alan are platonic OTP anyway...I'd probably give up and start going on about massive teenage demon orgies, like I do with D.Gray-man. (I have an OT4 in that fandom which expands easily to an OT7, with spin-offs and everything...) And then there's the back-in-the-day Daniel/Olivia/Marie OT3! Oy. I'll stick to being a cheerleader and crackshipper.

She might, you never know until you ask.

Team Fever Fruit! I love it. (And yeah, it wouldn't make much sense for the audience!team to have a captain, I was just curious.)

Lol, I know what you mean about the epic multishipping. Basically the whole reason this came about was because vociferocity and I were completely failing at having ship wars because while I totally love Jamie/Nick and she totally loves Jamie/Gerald, we were both like "BUT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER AWESOME PAIRINGS, AAAAH!" and we decided to settle the matter with a battle to the DEATH celebrate all the awesome ships in TDL with this challenge!

Oh, and just so you know, if you really cannot choose, you can join up to two ships so long as you are able to complete at least one submission for each team (although we encourage people to pick just one). See other comments on this post for more details :)

Sarah would totally promote this! She's promoted this comm before and finds fic complimenting, plus she always says she enjoys seeing who people think should end up together.

[insane_duckfish]

:D yeah, I think you're right. Mostly it's just me being all shy and awed and stuff. (She is too amazing! I couldn't actually, like, talk to her! XD) But we're aiming to get a challenge comm up and running by the end of this week, so I'll probably email her then.
