Another Meme

[deelaundry]

alex51324 has proposed a new meme:

"Let's say what the rules or categories would be if we each made a fanfic contest focusing on the kind of writing we like to do."

Alex's categories would be "Something improbable happens, and angst ensues" and "Improbable amounts of kinky sex occur."

Dee's categories would be:

- Suspension of Disbelief: Insane things happen but it kind of seems somewhat reasonable
- Yakkity-Yak: House and Wilson yammer on about something odd (must be dialogue only)
- Home and Hearth: Domestic fics, kid optional. Fics with children with unrealistic, cutesy speech patterns or behavior will be disqualified. (Genuine language delay or disability fine.)
- Hands Off: House-Wilson friendship fics, subtext optional
- What the Hell Is That?: Bizarre weird things not covered in Suspension of Disbelief category

The only one I can think of for myself right now is Make 'Em Laugh: Anything goes as long as it's funny.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Hannah! Yours would totally be Build-A-World: Fics set in rich, well-designed Alternative Universes. Bonus points for supernatural powers.

(Speaking of AUs, is the sequel to "You and You Can See" still a possibility?)

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's coming after the orthodox wingfic (almost done) and psychological genderfuck (six weeks to turn into a male), but before the sexuality retrospective (rather than waking up gay, Wilson was born as such).

If you're around, would it be okay to bounce ideas off you?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Going to bed now, but I'm around tomorrow! Email me.

[blackmare.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, I'd enter the Build-A-World category.

Totally.

Phinnia's Categories:
Fluff-O-Rama: it's fluffy, but still realistic.
From the Library: Prompts taken from books.

I think you'd also have the category Tapas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapas): Small, varied bits of delicious perfection

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

Triedunture's Brain-tastic Fic Contest. Every year we crown the winner of The Best Use of Zombies in a Post-Apocalyptic, Semi-Scientific, Medically Improbable Slash Fan Fic (With Explosions).

Sadly, the only winners have been me and myself. I award myself a prize and throw me a party, but no one else comes.

(This is satire! I wouldn't really give myself a prize, guys!)

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

um, did you read my "Iggy Pop Go The Zombies"?

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

Most likely! I <3 zombies! *hands you the prize*

Now we can go to the party together. Hell, let's call it a Convention!

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

I wasn't sure you had read it because I hadn't heard from you before. it's most of the House cast fighting zombies with some Shaun of the Dead type humor and a kick ass soundtrack, hence Iggy Pop in the title. It's in my LJ.

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

I'll go take a gander in case something brain-nomming managed to slip past me. :)

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

cool. thanx!

Other categories:

Teasing IBM: Extended first-time stories with sex toys

I Say!: A most excellent and intriguing selection of adventures of Young Mister Wooster and His Man Jeeves

[perspi.livejournal.com]

OMG I WOULD TOTALLY ENTER YOUR CONTEST. SOMEWHERE.

What would my categories be? Hm.

Magical Mystery Theater: Put a little magic into House's life. You need to keep the characters' reactions in character--no sparkly explosions. Unless, of course, that is your magic.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't House make a great magician? He could totally do that, only instead of pulling harmless fluffy bunnies out of hats, he'd extract something hissing and spitting, and he could lock Wilson in a box and stick swords through it --

... wait, what?

*grins*

[perspi.livejournal.com]

Hee!!

YOUR category would have to be:

SCREAMING MEEMIES: Oh, the horror! Here there be creepiness and frightening stuff in the shadows. Your challenge is to leave your readers with the heebie jeebies. Points will be taken off for excessive use of blood and guts. (Because Nightdog can creep us the hell out without relying on such cheap effects. :) (Bonus points if it's Wilson who's suffering.)

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

*beams*

Truly, it is my calling.

Another important Perspi category --

Everyone's a Winner: Spread the fun around by diving deep into character stories from a wide variety of characters.

[mer-duff.livejournal.com]

Mer's Categories:

Balcony Fic - the story must take place at least in part on the balcony outside House & Wilson's offices. Bonus points for putting Wilson in jeopardy.

What's Bred in the Bone Fic - backstory stories about one of the main characters. Must draw obvious parallels between past and current events.

Manipulative!Wilson Fic - points awarded for each character Wilson fools, manipulates or otherwise bends to his will.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! I hadn't realized the surprising importance of the balcony in your oeuvre but it's definitely true. : )

[hwshipper.livejournal.com]

hwshipper's categories:

Established Relationship: House & Wilson have been having sex for the last squillion years. Angst/fluff/angsty fluff/fluffy angst occurs.

House/Wilson/OMC: Either House or Wilson has a relationship with an OMC (while still carrying on having sex with each other). Bonus points if a threesome occurs.

[blackmare.livejournal.com]

Hm. Perhaps my category would be:

Creative Trespassing

For stories written into someone else's fanfic 'verse, adding to that 'verse while adhering to the original author's intentions, guidelines and characterization.

[pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com]

I think mine would be Reality's Left Turn, which starts with a small and plausible event and turns into something unexpected.

[hibernia1.livejournal.com]

Oh cool!
Mine would be:

* fluff early in the morning
* fluff while Wilson's cooking
* fluff based on the Contractverse but not too scary and with lots of Mr. Vicodin

Any and all portraying of House as just an addict will lead to prompt disqualification. OOC-ness only allowed when it works for Hib.

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

Mine would be Earthquake: Outrageous crack

:D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

XD

You win for best category title! But then again humor is your forte. :D
