Meme: The "Out Of My Comfort Zone" Meme
Lots of people write the same thing, over and over. I'm guilty of it, too. We get into ruts, or we let our headcanon take over, or we let fanon tell us things that become just as important as canon in our heads. Sometimes we dislike characters, and we ignore them, or we write them off. Sometimes we loathe certain pairings, or we just blatantly favor other pairings. Mostly, we like to write things that we know, and things we know we are good at.
This meme is designed to push all of us writers out of the box, a little bit!
There are two ways to play:
I've listed my own "directions" below. Feel free to play in any way that suits you!

Please prompt me with a character or pairing that I don't normally write! You can include as many prompts as you want, and you can include as much additional prompt information as you want (just be aware that I'm time-limited and probably will not be able to hit every single prompt).
Sev's Writing Fandoms: FFIV, FFV, FFVI, FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX/X-2, FFXII (limited).
And for reference, here are some things IN my comfort zone, to give you ideas of what would be OUT:
+ My most common fandoms: FFIV, FFVIII
+ Common characters I use: Rydia, Rosa, Kain, Quistis, Irvine, Rinoa, Rikku, Yuna, Lulu
+ Common things I write about: magical powers, meta, crack pairings/crossovers, non-traditional romance

There are two ways to play:
- Write something you don't normally write! Choose a character or a pairing that you've never dabbled with, or that you actually actively dislike, and give it a try! When finished, comment here with a link to the story, to share your work with everybody!
- Ask your readers/fans/friends to help you out! Accept some prompts for characters or pairings that you're not as familiar or friendly with, and take the ones that tickle your fancy (or, to make things harder on yourself, the ones that don't tickle your fancy, haha).
