Genfic Call

Dec 18, 2007 22:49

Usually I ask for requests. This time, I'm giving one.

Genfic. Specifically, Heroes and Harry Potter fandom.

I love romance. Stop laughing, I do. But I feel like I don't see much gen anymore.

So my challenge to you is - write gen. It can be a drabble, it can be a 4 page one shot, it can be an 87 page one shot. Or a WIP if you really want.

It can be ( Read more... )

fandom, fanfiction, heroes, harry potter

Well, I don't write fanfic, but I did just read a great genfic about two seconds ago.

It's Luna, during OotP, with cameos by Umbridge, Theo, Madam Pince, and Ginny.

Ooh, awesome. :)

I should be writing at least a few HP gen fics to fill some Christmas gifts and I think all but... one of them will fill your requests. :)

Cool. :)

Does the WIP have to be finished by January 1st? Because I think I have one or two that meets your requirement but then they're going to take forever to finish.

author_by_night December 22 2007, 12:39:45 UTC

As long as there's at least two chapters, it doesn't have to be finished. :)

Cool. I have two, one of which I'm sure is a genfic and the other one a cross between genfic and drama/romance. I can't say what genre it truly is because I won't have fluff in it and I aim to explore what makes a relationship (but I think that's not the description of genfic, am I right?)

WIP chapter 1
WIP chapter 2
WIP chapter 3

It fulfills the Albus, Scorpius, and Rose part of your request.

The other one:
WIP 1/?
WIP 2/?

Let me know if I misunderstand the meaning of genfic.

p.s. can I friend you?

Aw, I'm sorry, I've been getting ready to go away (and in fact, am about to leave in an hour or so.) I'll check them out when I get a chance, so in the next few days.

And of course you can friend me. :)

And genfic is a fic that isn't centered on romance, but it can still have it, as long as that's not the main point. But then, genfic has about a billion definitions. ;)
