the randomness of my brain...

Have you ever thought of taking one basic prompt and seeing how different people would write the same scene for various pairings? I was just replying to some comments to In Hiding and thinking about how I've always wanted to write an 'under the table' fic. (maggie fantasy number 374 *blushes*)

But I've 'written' that fic in my head a million times with a ton of different pairings. they are all a bit different (I think it started out as a Draco/Hermione fantasy, tbh). In my mind it was always fun to take that scene and make it work for different pairings. (OMG! I just realised that I plagerised myself as I wrote a Harry/Scorp already with that scene and FORGOT. GAH!!! I'm such a loser).

ANYWAY.

What I was thinking is: would anyone be interested in doing a writing experiment like that? Like... I throw out one very simple prompt like - 'one person under the table, the other person has semi-public orgasm' (only not that one - as I've already done it... twice *headdesk*) but something like that. And then open it up for people to comment and say: I'll write draco/harry!!! I'll write Scorpius/Rose!!! I'll write Snape/Ron (wot?)

You get it?

Then it's all just comment porn with the same scene and tons of different pairings, with different authors approaches and styles... (or if people write something more than comment porn it's great too...

Am I crazy?

one plot, many pairings - CLAIMING POST

Continuing my idea here regarding one plot, many pairings… I'm going ahead with it… like right now. :D

The feedback I received was that people wanted the option of not writing porn (IDEK?!? But people wanted that option. *g*) So I've tried to come up with a prompt that is 'easy' to write as either porn or not with enough structure that the writing experiment keeps this basic premise of 'write story ABC' in a pairing of your choice.

So the prompt is:

Character A and character B are trapped in a small space and unable to get out. They are tired and uncomfortable and a little too close for comfort. All they have each other and that makes things both better and worse.

It's a wee bit lame and yes, a trope, but the point of this is to do something interesting with a very simple prompt, so you'll have to forgive me. *g*

This prompt can be claimed for ANY PAIRING (or Gen), ANY FANDOM, ANY RATING.

For FIC: Comment in this post with which pairing/fandom you would like to write. Post your fic as a reply to that comment with pairing, title, rating in the subject line. Note: comments run about 750 words or so. If your fic is longer than that, just nest the fic OR comment with a link to a post on your lj.

For ART: ART IS WELCOME!!! Not sure if the prompt is tempting, but I hope it is. Comment in this post with which pairing/fandom you would like to draw and please clearly note that you are claiming for ART. Post your art as a reply to that comment with pairing, title, rating in the subject line. OR comment with a link to a post on your lj.

Please note: I am not policing the claimings and making sure that no two people write the same pairing. If you want to claim a pairing, please check that no one has commented before you claiming the one you want. If I see any doubles, I'll try to let you know asap.

All pairings/moresomes can be claimed once for fic and once for art.

Please do comment with: claiming Snape/Ron

Please DO NOT comment with: can I have Snape/Ron? Or if it's taken maybe Scorp/Arthur Weasley?? I'm happy with either. It will cause confusion and headaches. :)

As fics come in over the next few days/weeks, I'll update a masterlist. I think that's it folks. (if you have questions, please direct them here rather than in the comments below.

HAVE FUN!!!
