Round One: The Ladies
Until December 25th
Participants should comment on this thread and provide a character and prompt to provide general direction for the fill. Prompts can be in the form of quotes, single words, or scenarios.
Please read the community’s general rules in addition to the rules for this round listed below before prompting/filling.
Any questions, comments, or future round suggestions should be left on the questions thread. Any comments of this nature left on the prompting threads will be deleted.
Round One Rules:
-The theme of this round is the Ladies of Criminal Minds. This round was created as a result of the lack of female-centric fic in the Criminal Minds fandom. More specifically the lack of female-centric fic that does not include the female character as one half of a ship. Because the purpose of this is to create fiction that showcases the women, all fills must fall under the realm of gen fic. There will be plenty of opportunity to write about your OTP in later challenges. This is a place to share your love for the female characters as they are, not imagine them in a relationship. These characters are multidimensional and interesting! Let’s give them something else to do other than be one half of a love story.
-Any prompt requesting a focus on a female character from CM is valid, no matter how large or small a role she’s played. This includes all female BAU members (current and not), cop of the week, unsubs, and friends and family of the BAU.
-This is a female positive space. Obviously there is no character bashing allowed (of any characters regardless of gender). However, because of the nature of this round, any prompts requesting rape fic, promoting rape culture, or any other subject matter that is detrimental to the well being of women will not be tolerated. Prompts in violation of this rule will be removed at moderator discretion.
-Use trigger warnings in the comment title. Failure to do this will result in the comment being deleted. Trigger warnings should be used when dealing with rape/sexual assault (including references), violence, abuse, drug use, suicide/self injury, racial/anti-gay etc slurs. Note: “(fem)slash” is not something that needs to, or should be warned for.
-This round will be open for two weeks for prompting (until 11:59 PM on December 25th). Though it will remain open to fills after that date has passed.
Prompt Format:
-All prompts should be left in the comments of this thread. These can be left anonymously or not. Prompts should be submitted in the format of: Character name + prompt. Any trigger warnings (if necessary) should be posted in the title of the comment. Otherwise the actual prompt can be left in the body of the comment.
Examples:
Elle Greenaway, sometimes I think that we’re on the wrong side
Jessica Brooks, aftermath of Haley’s death
Fill Format:
-All fills should be left as a reply to comment where the fic was requested. Fills should be posted with the format: [Fill] Title (rating) in the comment header. A title is not necessary, but encouraged. If the fill is too long, you are welcome to post it on your journal and provide a link. Fills can be posted anonymously or named.
-Fills can be any length.
-Multiple fills per prompt are not only welcome, but encouraged. The more lady focused fic, the better!
