NEW WEISS VS SAIYUKI BATTLE: JUNE 2015

[indelicateink]

A new battle begins! WE TIED ON OUR LAST BATTLE, SO LET'S SETTLE THIS.

This battle will run NOW through Sunday, June 21--three weeks of fannish love war.

HOW THIS WORKS: The "fandom favorite" and "fandom" aspects of the last battle are being combined: an author can dedicate every work submitted to their favorite character for points; whichever

Is it against the rules to fill your own prompt?

[daegaer]

God, I hope not because I sort of want to write ridiculous Heian era, poetry-ridden Nagi/Mamoru nonsense now, having prompted it . . .

[indelicateink]

haha, go for it! :D

[lady_ganesh]

DO EEET

*raises hand*

I have a question!

Is it possible to create a WK fanwork but still give the points to Saiyuki?

[lauand]

Okay, I've just found the answer in the posting format info... sorry about that!

[indelicateink]

Sorry for my slow response--busy day away from the computer! But yup--you can totally do that. :) (Since we're focusing on characters this time, I hoped this stance would further encourage creative output!)

[lauand]

It took you less than 5 hours to reply to this. I wouldn't call that "slow" in any possible universe. We all have a life!

Yep, I'll keep it in mind, because if I tackle on the espionage prompt it's more with Schuldig in mind, but I'm fighting this battle for Gojyo, dammit! So I'm glad cross-voting is allowed :)

A kweek kwestion - is a story/ongoing set of stories that might have been originally written for one challenge eligible to be entered as another? I ask purely because I may have an ongoing (started as Challenge 1) space opera that in its current episode has ridiculous acts of - well, they might be bravery, or they might be complete acts of young male stupidity. In space. With possible really big guns.

ETA: if I can ever finish this section, of course. Oh, God, please get on with things, guys! You are really awful, awful people, all of you except Ran.

[indelicateink]

Yes! If I understand correctly-- say, if you were to post a story this week on this week's theme of courage (and this story happened to be part of an ongoing story)--that works! It would be eligible for this week's theme/85 points (but this particular story wouldn't be counted for both 85 points/theme and 80 points/prompt, of course). (And previous stories could not retroactively gain points for this week's theme.) --Did that make sense or did I muddle it more? XD

Hang in there, Ran! ♥

[daegaer]

Yay, yes, thank you!

Oh, C&S both need to be slapped with fish, Ran needs therapy, Nagi's about to cause serious trouble . . .

[lady_ganesh]

Is implied sex between, say, an underage assassin and his also possibly underage fellow assassin all right? You know. Just as an example.

[indelicateink]

Hey you! :)

It walks a line... idk, I hate to be the Underage Police. I think basically this implied sex could fly under the no-underage-sex-rule radar if it's consensual, not salacious...

[lady_ganesh]

I can always handwave the timeline a little, too, especially since the prompt is AU anyway. I'll keep it vague and consensual. If I write it. Which I might.

[indelicateink]

Awesome! Best of luck!

[laurose8]

I seem to have ended up with a drabble. Is that too short?

[indelicateink]

Hey there!

Yes, that is too short (if we're talking drabble = 100 words) for the two current challenges. Challenge #1 has a minimum of 300 words; Challenge #4 has a minimum of 1,500 words.

[laurose8]

Excuse my being unclear. For the prompts, the minimum is..?

Tanks for the quick reply.

[indelicateink]

For the prompts (Challenge #1) the minimum is 300 words. :)
