Multi-Fandom Family Fic Fest!

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):

1. Don't worry too much about the definition of 'family'. Characters don't actually have to be related by blood; adoptive and step-relatives are obviously welcome, as are requests about relationships that simply echo family relationships (e.g. the fatherly relationship between Gaius and Merlin, the vaguely siblingish relationship between the Doctor and Donna). Even familyesque relationships that don't actually exist in canon are welcome; if you've always wanted to read about Squall Leonhart adopting Winnie-the-Pooh (and who hasn't?), you can prompt it here.

2. Please, no incest requests. Nothing at all against incest fic, but that's not the purpose of this meme, which was created because it's often quite tricky to find fanfiction exploring platonic family relationships. The only exception is if the relationship is incestuous in canon, in which case knock yourself out.

3. That isn't to say that requests have to be completely gen; romance is fine, so long as there's some exploration of how it affects (or is affected by) platonic family relationships. 'James/Lily: their struggles with raising baby Harry together': no problem. 'Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger: love blooms when they are trapped in a cardboard box for no good reason' obviously wouldn't fit the meme, as there's no family relationship involved, but 'Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger: love blooms in a cardboard box and then all hell breaks loose when Draco's father finds out' would absolutely belong here.

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.

An auctioneer comes to Sherlock with a surprisingly interesting case.

The auctioneer's name is Harriet Watson. Cue much inter-sibling awkwardness/ganging up on Sherlock.

*CRACKS KNUCKLES*

Morgan is, for all intents and purposes, Reid's protective big brother.

Bonus points for slotting the rest of the team into their family tree too!

:D

ZUKO AND IROH. Iroh teaching Zuko to firebend because Ozai is a bitchface who plays favourites. I don't know. Just make it adorable.

SARAH JANE ADVENTURES

[identity profile] dracothelizard.livejournal.com 2010-11-08 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Sarah Jane has only recently become a mum. Luke has only recently become a human after being grown by aliens. Together, they try to figure out how that works.

I just want adorable Sarah Jane and Luke bonding in those first awkward days after Invasion of the Bane :D

I want to hear more about Doof's family backstory that keeps changing, and maybe even why it keeps changing.

(The answer is, of course, for the funny, but you know what I mean.)

Whose Line is it Anyway?/Pokémon

(Nobody's gonna write this... and it's players as kids!fic, as per the setting.)

Ryan Stiles, Pokémon trainer, doesn't see much of his family. But his friends and his Pokémon are becoming more like family than ever before.

Death Note

Light and Soichiro... snapshots of their relationship (pre-Death Note, having the Death Note, when he's lost his memories of it, and as his father is dying)

Sherlock Holmes (erm, all of them XD)

[identity profile] darkest-alchemy.livejournal.com 2010-11-08 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
(Somebody mentioned this idea on Tumblr and I went 'OMG that is the greatest idea ever!' Specifically I think book!Holmes, Brett!Holmes, RDJ!Holmes and the Russian Holmes were mentioned, with BBC Sherlock as the youngest brother. Heh)

The various different versions of Holmes are all brothers; they (and Mycroft) meet up together at a family gathering, then a mystery happens which they have to solve together. (Probably quite a lot of arguing and attempts to outdo each other occurs.)

Toph has some sort of relative, a cousin or an aunt or something, who is actually at all encouraging of her being independent and talented and awesome and not the poor little broken girl her parents imagine her to be.
