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?

WHAT IS THIS NON PORN OF WHICH YOU SPEAK????

lol.

[leela-cat.livejournal.com]

That sounds like fun. I'd love to do that with you. Porny or not.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

hee! YAY!!

[lordhellebore]

Not crazy - it sounds good. But a little more general prompt would be nice. Not all of us are porn writers ;)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

LOL. Non pron is HARD. :D

I'm still thinking on how it might work. I'd like an prompt that could easily be written as porn (for those who find that easiest) but certainly could be written as non-porn. :/

*ponders more*

Maggie!!! *glomps*

Sorry, just haven't been online the same time as you for a while!

I did Kingsley/Narcissa under the table a long time ago. LOL

I'll write Snape/Ron (wot?) *dies*

Very cool idea. Sounds like fun.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

HELLLO there stranger. :DDD

hee! will do this, quick and dirty like.

[stellamoon.livejournal.com]

Wow, you've really got yourself a kink there, huh? My last Snarry Games entry with Snape and Harry under the table was entirely your idea! I didn't know it was because you are absolutely fixated on that idea!! LOLOL!

So anyway, I don't write, but I think it's a way cool idea! It would be fascinating to see all the different variations on the same theme.

*hugs you*

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

AHAHA!!! YES!!! *loves that art* (for many reasons, obv!)

but YOU COULD DRAW FOR THIS!! :D totally. :D

[faithwood.livejournal.com]

Am I crazy?

Well, yes. BUT GREAT IDEA!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

IT WAS RHETORICAL!!!!

:D

[okydoky.livejournal.com]

You're not crazy, sounds like a fun writing experiment to me :)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

yay!

[vaysh11.livejournal.com]

Totally crazy, of course. Which is why you have to do it! :D

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

of course. :D

I have a flist of enablers. :)

[jennybliss.livejournal.com]

That is not crazy at all. In fact there is a community in the Supernatural fandom dedicated to just that. I think it is a really cool idea.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

OH!!! how cool!!! I had no idea. :D

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

LOL self-plagiarism! You didn't - it's transformative & derivative. ANYWAY, any given premise can be given in an infinite number of ways. YOU WIN.

I think I'm in! I like the challenge. ;)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

it's transformative & derivative.

sure. I'll take that. :D

YAY! go claim. it's up.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

As long as you don't open the prompt you gave me recently, because I'm working on that one now. :P

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

hee! *bounce*

[mysecretashes.livejournal.com]

Ooh, fun!! Could it be for both HP and Merlin? *bats eyelashes*

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

ahahaha!! I was just thinking about that. :D

I totally need to THINK HARD about a prompt that would work.

I need something simple and basic. OH! I think I've thought of something. :D

I hope to post soon.

[leashy-bebes.livejournal.com]

Excellent idea! I am almost certainly in, unless the muse completely fails me.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

yay!!! you claimed. :D

[shutupeccles.livejournal.com]

yes please.
love the entire premise.
Am friending you in order to read your smut ♥

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

hello there!!! *friends back* :D

I hope you play, too. The prompt just went up. :D

[melusinahp.livejournal.com]

This is an awesome idea of awesomeness.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

hee!

[libby-drew.livejournal.com]

What fun! I did that with empathic_siren once, only we had to write the same pairing and prompt. I hope you do it!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

oh! cool. Bet that was awesome.

I've done it. :D I think my prompt is not as 'specific' as I originally intended, but it allows for many different pairings and fandoms and directions to take the fic.

We'll see how it all goes. should be fun. *pokes you to play*

[snegurochka_lee]

Have you ever thought of taking one basic prompt and seeing how different people would write the same scene for various pairings?

I have, actually! Although not necessarily different pairings. I read this amazing fic in Torchwood fandom eons ago, I think the premise was something like "Ianto finally gets up the nerve to tell Jack he wants to top" -- which, for this pairing/fandom is a fairly big deal, I take it; no one writes top!Ianto? IDK -- and it was a fantastic fic, and I guess the author and just two or three of her friends had each tried their hand at that premise, to see how their results would compare. I always thought that would be fun to try! But I like your idea too. *nod*

*runs off to check on next post* :)

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

YOU KNOW... I would love to do this sometime. Not now, but someday. Just a handful of folks and one premise, same pairing. Maybe in the fall? LOL.

[alafaye]

if after finishing one pairing...could we claim another?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

That is totally fine. :D

[geewhiz.livejournal.com]

When would the due date be? I see it says As fics come in over the next few days/weeks but is there a date when things need to be in by in order to be part of this?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... I hadn't really set anything, though I suppose it would be nice to get all fics in in a reasonable time. hmmm... say July 30th, as I'll be posting an updated masterlist each friday.

I'll make a post about that tomorrow. :D

Oh! and 'dropping out' is no big deal, so feel free to claim a pairing and if you write you write and if not, that's fine. :D
