rionaleonhart: final fantasy x-2: the sun is rising, yuna looks to the future. (highway to hell)
Dreamt an odd little creepy story last night. In my dream, the story was by [livejournal.com profile] wanttobeatree; she was physically enacting it for me to watch.


surprisingly coherent dream-story: the teacher and the bull. )


Unrelatedly: you know what I'd like? A family-relationships commentfic request meme. They can be happy, functional relationships, like Sokka and Katara, or dysfunctional to the point of literally trying to kill each other, like Zuko and Azula. The characters don't necessarily have to be related by blood; Phineas and Ferb (stepbrothers), Tom and Chlo (guardianship), Gaius and Merlin (fatherly relationship) and even requests like 'Sora, Riku and Kairi being siblingish' and 'Captain Jack Harkness of Doctor Who adopts Toph of Avatar and they have adventures' would be welcome as well. Zuko and Iroh, Sam and Dean, Ellen and Jo, Ed and Al, Donna and Wilf, Tom and Josh, Matt and Sambuca, Balthier and Cid, Tidus and Jecht, Michael and Lincoln, Sherlock and Mycroft, Ryan and Sharpay, Kurt and Burt, Sue and Jean, Morgana and Uther: so many possibilities! The only rule would be 'no incest', because, although there's nothing wrong with incest fic, it's often easier to find than sexless fanfiction about family relationships. (Possibly 'no incest unless incest is canonical', because the 'no incest' rule might cause trouble for people who wanted to request Revolutionary Girl Utena fic.)

Yes, all right, this idea has arisen in good part out of a desire to fix the Tom-Chlo relationship I broke.

So, what do you think? I've never hosted a fic meme before, and I'm a little afraid that it would just fizzle out, but if I were to host this would you be interested?

(Apologies to anyone who saw my desperate failed efforts to create a poll. Don't forget to create a poll before you actually post a poll-requiring entry, guys, because trying to edit a poll into an entry once it's been posted is a nightmare. You're going to have to express any interest you might have in a comment, I'm afraid.)

Right! There seems to be some interest, so here you are! I would be so grateful if you guys were to link and prompt and write and generally make this work. In return, I'll try very hard not to fill up an entire page with Waterloo Road requests.






MULTI-FANDOM FAMILY FIC FEST



This is a commentfic request meme, open to any fandom, with a focus on platonic family relationships! (Whilst this does mean it's more inclined towards filial/sibling etc than spousal relationships (because romance is easier to find in many fandoms than family-fic), it doesn't totally rule the latter out; see point 3, below.) Here's how it's going to work:

- You post prompts! Put the name of the fandom in the subject line and then the prompt in the body. For example:

comment title: Avatar: The Last Airbender
comment body: Sokka and Katara: when they're children, Katara unsuccessfully tries to teach her brother Waterbending.

comment title: Harry Potter
comment body: Fred and George, armed only with a box of joke-shop stock, fight a dragon.

comment title: Star Wars
comment body: The Skywalker family reunion is extremely awkward.

You can post as many prompts as you like, but please make a separate comment for each.

- You read through the prompts others have posted and, if the fancy strikes you, you write what they're looking for! When posting fanfiction, please post it as a reply to the prompt that caught your interest and indicate in some way that it's a fic in the subject line. Anonymous commenting is on if you'd like to use it, but there's no obligation to be anonymous.

- You have fun, ideally!


A few rules and points of explanation (I've rambled on a bit here, so the main points are in bold):

Beneath the cut. )

If you have any questions, just bring them to this thread.


Right, I think that's it! Request and write away! And please do link this around if you can; the more people we can bring here, the more successful it'll be.
