Drabble Cycle Round 12 - Alternate Universes - Closed
Hey there, femslash fans, and welcome to Drabble Cycle 12! Elasticella was the first to suggest Alternate Universes as the theme for this cycle, and after receiving a few messages in support, I decided to go ahead and make it official. I've chosen some of the most popular AU's on Archive Of Our Own to make these tables.
These are all true AU options. I did not select things like canon divergence, pre-canon, or fix-it fic, though these are all welcome within the AU's. I also did not select from common fanfic tropes like bodyswap, meet-cute, etc., though, once more, any and all tropes are welcome within the AU's as well.
I modelled the tables directly after the previous round. There are two table options, one with thirty prompts and one with ten. If you're writing the ten prompt table you can either use the one provided or make your own by using the blank table and selecting ten prompts of your choice from the thirty prompt table.
As of March 7, 2016: This round is closed for claims and fills. Please post your fills at femslash100100!

RULES:
on the drabbles themselves:
- To finish the challenge you will have to write either 10 or 30 drabbles, one for each of the prompts listed.
- The topics may be interpreted as literally or as loosely as you'd like. For this specific cycle, it would be best to stick with the literal AU, but the roles/themes are flexible. For example, for the Sex Workers prompt, one or both characters could be cam-girls or prostitutes, or they could work at a sex shop. For the High School prompt, they could both be students or teachers or a mix of both (as long as warnings are listed properly).
- Your drabbles must follow general community rules - femslash, no more than 250 words, etc.
- Please tag all your entries in this challenge with the tag "drabble cycle: alternate universes".
- Comment to this post when you've completed your table and I'll add you to the finished list.
- You are allowed to cross-post your drabbles to other communities and journals (in accordance with their rules, obviously). Just remember to post a link to them to our comm at some point - you can either post as you go or wait and post your whole table when you're done.
on making claims:
- For this challenge each participant should claim a single subject. This can be a pairing, a character, a fandom, etc. Subjects can be claimed by more than one person. If you absolutely can't claim a single subject, you can make a general, non-specific claim.
- You don't need to specify which table you're claiming. If you finish the ten-prompt table and would like to continue on with the rest of the prompts, you can just keep writing without making another claim.
- Original fiction and characters are allowed.
- Crossovers are permitted, whether as a specific claim or as part of any of your drabbles.
- You can make a second (and a third and etc.) claim, but only after you've finished the first one.
- You can continue to make claims right up until the deadline.
- If you didn't finish your claim from an earlier drabble cycle that doesn't preclude you from making a claim in this one.
- This challenge is also on dreamwidth and you can claim at either comm, but please post your drabbles where you made the claim.
A deadline for this challenge has not yet been set. The last Drabble Cycle lasted for over a year, so we can go with that if you guys want.
Update 12/22/15: There is now a Drabble Cycle AU subcollection on AO3!
