Announcing the 'I Never' Challenge

April 1st, 2003 (09:35 am)
current mood: crazy
current song: Joseph Arthur - right now

Seems I can't stay away from LJ, fic, or chat, so I've decided to reward myself for doing so much good work. Even though it didn't win, it's still my favorite, and no pouting, because I'll offer the 'Swan Song' one later, perhaps. Without further ado, I present:

The 'I Never' Challenge
Boldly Go Where You've Never Gone Before



Any fandom, any pairing, any genre, any rating.

Requirements?

1. Participants must choose two of the four options; one of the first two is required.

(I realize that when writing in a new fandom, one is automatically writing a new pairing; I encourage boundary-crossing, people. Why not go for all four?)

2. The four options are: Fandom, Pairing, Genre, and Kink. Never written Harry Potter? Viggo/Bean? PWP? Incest? Here's your chance.

3. Must be over 500 words; no upper limit.

4. Deadline is June 21, 2003.

5. Please post links to stories in this thread.

6. Any questions about what constitutes 'Genre' or 'Kink' can be answered

I'm going to be pretty loose in defining Genre, so here's an incomplete list:
Gen
Het
Slash
PWP
fluff/schmoop
angst
deathfic
crossover
AU
mpreg
babyfic
hurt/comfort
darkfic
first time
futurefic/pastfic
UST


As for kink, this is also incomplete, and just meant to give you ideas *eg*:
non-con
fetish
voyeurism
exhibitionism
chanslash/shotakon
incest
bondage
bdsm
blood sports
water sports
genderfuck
drag
bestiality
foodplay
leather/rubber
autoerotic asphyxiation/breath control
fisting
scat
ETA (thanks to [info]ilexa:
dirty talk
phone sex
or by emailing me.

6. All fic must include a warning if the 'Kink' option is chosen, to avoid squicking people.


Enjoy, my pretties! PS: Tell your friends! I, for one, want to se [info]thete1 do something she hasn't yet done.

Eh, not the one I voted for, but still a good challenge, I think.

well, shit. I have done just about every single thing on those lists that don't make me want to poke my eyes out. But, all the same, this idea really sparks for me. I will have to do one (or more) fic for you.

*happy dance, happy dance*

Don't mind me, I'm just glad someone digs my challenge. I'm very excited to see who will bring the kink, oh yes. And remember, you can always just do the first two--I can't remember exactly which fandoms you write in, but hey--always good to branch out. Says the chick w/ about six fandoms.

Re:

HP, SV, Buffy/Angel, Lotrips, Xmen, popslash (if you count Eminem), blah. That's why I might have to do the kink. I don't know if there are any fandoms I haven't written that I know enough about *to* write. Unless I just give in and write the damned Justin Timberlake crap. Nooooooo.

Who isn't multifandom now? I don't know anyone. *g* I will see if I can rustle up some other people for you challenge *shhhh, I have minions*

Well, I added two new kinks mentioned to me by someone, so that might help...you have minions? That's so cool, as are you for rustling up more contributors! Oh, and I already got my first response! *squees wildly* Go check it out!

even for a bottom.

Done! Peer, Everwood, Bright/Ephram. NC17 for autoerotic asphyxiation and unnecessary roughness.

Honorary Award

Not that I'm giving awards, or anything, but you receive some kind of honorary award of hot boy love for being the first person to submit anything. Haven't read it yet, but I'll be sure to let you know what I think! Thanks so much!

Yo.

For never actually publishing HP, and therefore never writing Hermione/Draco. So, my "I Never."

as yet untitled

I'll try to come up with a dirty kink one, I swear.

No problem, darling. The challenge gave me an excuse to dust some stuff off that has been sitting on the HD for ages.

*waits with bated breath for the kink*

You and me both, sistah. You and me both. *sigh*

Hi, you don't know me I think.
slash fan

But, I found this through [info]thepurpleswitch's journal. So, uh, here's my contribution, and hello.

New pairing: Giles/Ethan (BtVS)
Kinks: slight roughness, slight bondage, sex in a graveyard (does that count as a kink? I'm not sure. I kind of hope so).

Ouroboros

Re: Hi, you don't know me I think.

Welcome, and thanks for the submission! The point was to get some fandom-crossing (and fannish friend-crossing) going on, so I'm really excited that people are hearing about it. [begin self-pimp] Tell your friends! [end self-pimp]

Hrm. Couldn't quite figure out how to send fb at your site, but then I'm exhausted so I probably didn't look very hard. I found this a really intriguing and well-characterized glimpse into Giles/Ripper's past, his mind, what could have been. Taut and harsh and painful, all of it, made me squirm with the goodness.

And thanks again for submitting; (now that just sounds odd) I really enjoyed reading this.

Snicker.

Glad you enjoyed it, though; and, as a note, even if you'd looked hard, you wouldn't find any feedback info on my site. I don't got any listed.

Journeymen

Thanks to your challenge, I wrote my first Sports Night fic. (Which of course means my first Dan/Casey pairing.) I tried for some semi public train sex, but the boys wouldn't cooperate.

(and I admit, this was written for you and the contrelemontre.)

here it goes. a general "i never," as it's my first fic (please read it anyway *grin*). buffyverse, willow-centric (pairing withheld), potentially slash (depending on how you interpret it), and pretty damn dark (someone referred to it as "horrorfic"). no specific kink as such; tinges of nonconsensual sexuality but definitely not a rapefic.
