Fic challenge. Lots of those in my blogcircle recently (i.e. within the past couple of months), which got me thinking - what would I challenge for, if I were to be arsed to do such a thing? Is there anything I'd honestly like to see that wouldn't seem irredeemably self-serving when uttered? ...My belief being that a proper fic challenge should offer a hook for the writers, and not just "write me YxZ fics because I wanna see more YxZ - deadline in three months!" As in, a challenge. Shot In The Head has that - you'd have to give the matter a modicum of thought, to write for that one.
So I thought about it.
So...
Depeche Mode, "In Your Room". Write me a fic based on that. XD Not a songfic - well, only if you like - just give the track a listen and then do as you will. No boundaries placed on fandom/original, pairing, length, rating, etc. NC17 yuri drabble for a turn-of-century British comedy of manners if you like (actually, please), because the song itself is quite-quite enough in the way of restriction. My personal preference would be for you to take some relatively sunny-and-innocent source material and debauch it with great skill, thus scarring the vast majority of readers for life and driving a select few to drink, but then we all know I'm an awful person. If you do write, send me notice and I'll undertake to collate the results. I don't have enough fandom pull to convince a gazillion people to participate, so no worries there.
Deadline in three months. Spread the word. XD
EDIT -- It occurs to me that one should properly be making some kind of burnt offering as well. So I'll make lj icons, how about that? Granted I never bother to change my own, but I actually have access to more art photography books than God, plus a not-bad animanga selection. And you can have four months, until August 6th, which is sororial unit's fifteenth birthday. I think some creepy domination/bondage fic is in order, there.
I'll make a page for all this. Soon.
