Challenge Post
Jun. 27th, 2005 10:32 amI'm in a bit of a writing rut after AIL 9, and with the travel I have planned for the next two weeks, I suspect I won't get much of 10 written before HBP. So...
I'm gakking an idea from other journals (most recently
krislaughs) and saying challenge me. Toss me a prompt. Anything. In the AIL universe (as long as it's not really heavy angst), out of it, whatever... just with a few simple rules:
1.) The fic has to stay under 8,000 words. This is more for me, because we all know how wordy I get. (The average chapter of AIL is about 17,000-20,000 words.)
2.) No incest. In any way, shape, or form.
3.) I'm not much on writing hard NC-17, glitter, or AUs that don't take place in the wizarding world. I'm also more on "canon" pairings- or at least pairings that could concievably happen in canon. I will NOT write NC-17 or even R for the kids' generation.
Other than that... help a writer out. And since I tend to like people to illustrate my fics, if you've got an illustration you'd like a fic for, I'm all about that.
And gen? I LOVE gen. So all you people on this flist who don't think there's enough gen out here, here's your chance. I will very, VERY happily write gen!
ETA: As of 10:15 on Monday night, the prompts are (the list is more for my benefit than anyone else's!):
Young Caradoc and Moody (from the AIL universe)-
aome
Regulus befriending one of his brother's friends, and one or both changing a bit-
gehayi
Snape as a young DE/knowing Remus is spying for Dumbledore (probably AIL universe)-
maglors_finch
Remus seeing Harry's Patronus-
jazzypom
Sirius in dog form meeting Aunt Marge (hehehe)-
yma2
All gen! Whoohoo!

It tends to be as a side character to make Sirius jealous and galvanize him into chasing Remus and he has no personality whatsoever, but I know I've seen it from more than one author. But it's definitely out there.
