[sign ups] Round 8: High School is Hell
edited 10/8: signups will be open until the end of the day on the 10th to see if more authors are willing to come play this round
Welcome to Round 8!
Thanks to everyone who voted for the fandoms this month.
The (optional) theme for this month is:
Ritual Inversion
In ritual inversion, the rules of society are reversed or ignored. (source)
Rather than just a simple 'Halloween' theme, I though it would be more interesting to stretch the box a little bit. You can interpret this however you want - a character acting in a way different than their norm (ala Willow in "Dopplegangland"); the rules of the universe being switched around for one day/month/year because ~magick (or whatever); the actual writing of your story altering halfway through; be creative!
Since 2/3 of the fandoms for this month are ones that pop up here on a regular basis, I strongly encourage you to take this month and stretch your wings as you write, push yourself! try something new! hop out of your own box!
It is up to writer this month to come up with their own interpretation of the theme, which means that it is up to you to push yourself and push the prompts into new, maybe unforeseen, directions! Which means that the theme is NOT part of the request-signup. Any inversions that authors do will be up to their discretion during their writing process.
I know you all can do this!
The available fandoms for this round are:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Vampire Diaries
Sabrina, the Teenage Witch
