Captcha issues, switched to reCAPTCHA

Looks like there's an issue with our text-based Captcha provider, which is unfortunate. We've switched over to reCAPTCHA for now. I know this is less accessible than our textual ones, so we'll try to switch back if the other provider becomes available again.

FAQ
Even if you have read the rules before, please read them again, to refresh yourself. Minor alterations and clarifications are frequently made.

How does this work?

Here's what you do:

1. Pick a character, any character.
2. Pick one to six fandoms that you feel comfortable writing in. They cannot be the fandom that your character is from, or a fandom related to it. They can be related to one another if you choose, however.

That is all you need to do. What we will do, using highly scientific methods (and by that we mean the internet, our character lists, and a sizable bag of dice), is pick a character from one of those other fandoms to meet your character in a bar. You will then produce a fanwork from your prompt (see below for guidelines).

What?

Okay. Let's say you sign up. You choose Percy Jackson as your first character, and feel comfortable writing in the Iron Man movies, Supernatural RPF, Les Misérables by Victor Hugo, the Sweeney Todd musical, Stardew Valley, and the Disney+ Loki series.

I roll the dice, consult my lists, and determine that the other character will be Jean Valjean. So your prompt is "Percy Jackson goes into a bar and meets Jean Valjean," and you then produce a fanwork about it.

SGA: Five Times Rodney (and John) Visit the Millers by spurious

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Jeannie Miller/Kaleb Miller, Madison Miller
Rating: G
Length: 2278
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: spurious on AO3
Theme: Outsider POV, Family, Domestic, Established relationship, Five Things

Summary: Five visits, five perspectives.

Reccer's Notes: Spurious uses five points of view, the first three being outsider POVs of John and Rodney's relationship, across five visits to the Millers. We see Jeannie's initial puzzlement, Kaleb speculating about John, Madison adopting John wholesale and swearing to keep their secrets, and finally, John's POV, and then Rodney's, as he and John make a commitment. It's wry, insightful, domestic, and heartwarming, a great comfort fic.

Creator Links: (AO3): [archiveofourown.org profile] Admiranda; (Tumblr): [tumblr.com profile] admirableadmiranda
Theme: Outsider POV, Animals, Crack, Fluff, Humor, Just Plain Fun, Post-Canon, Trauma and Recovery

Summary: Little Apple is a good donkey. She knows this in her heart. And to be a good donkey, you have to eat apples, run fast, and kick people.

…Little Apple is a good donkey. She wanders on the road with her rider and the apple provider, going everywhere there is trouble and dewy grass and more apples. But now they are going back to the rabbit home. Where the bearded one is.

She has opinions about the bearded one.

…She is a good donkey, and sometimes a human needs donkey kindness, not donkey kicks. And as a good donkey, it is important to know when to give both. Little Apple knows exactly when to be kind instead.

…She had not thought of the other donkey sold on a month before her rider found her and she rescued him both from the village and the stinky one along with all the others still in need of kicking. He had been a useless donkey on the whole, or he never would have been sold, but they had gotten along well in the months they had worked together. Very well, in fact.

And even donkeys could make silly mistakes sometimes.


Reccer's Notes: Little Apple’s post-canon adventures, upholding the Donkey Code as she serves by turns as babysitter, bodyguard, Anger Interpreter, therapy animal, and mom.

(And eats lots of apples. The apples are very important.)

Pairings/Characters: Gen; Wei Wuxian, the Wen Remnants, Wen Yuan|Lan Yuan|Lan Sizhui, the Yiling Patriarch’s Misaimed Fandom
Rating: General Audiences

Theme: Outsider POV, Crack, Humor, Missing Scenes

Summary: [tumblr.com profile] pakhnokh: If you didn’t read this in the heavy British accent of your typical National Geographic Channel narrator, then the comic didn’t work - read again!

[archiveofourown.org profile] esbielle: A scene from the award-winning documentary about Burial Mounds.

A dramatic reading of pakhnokh's comic.


Reccer's Notes: Chapter 75 of the novel briefly mentions Wei Wuxian having to defend his Burial Mounds territory against his unwelcome fan club of Black Magic Edgelords; MDZS cartoonist extraordinaire Pakhnokh recognized a gift-wrapped opportunity for methodical David Attenboroughesque narration. And Esbielle then proceeds to run away with the idea further in audio: the background music is neatly calculated, and I particularly lost it over the one Yiling Laozu groupie belching, “DEEEEATH!” (Were he not throwing a full set of horns, it’d be tempting to flag him as Xue Yang.)
