FIC EXCHANGE (of Doom)

[museofspeed]

There are a lot of fic exchanges going around now. Between Yuletide, JBBS, and Three Ships, it's a little hard to pick which ones to do!

So I feel like making all your lives (and mine) a little harder! I'm making a new fic exchange! I call it the FIC EXCHANGE (of Doom). This is why I don't usually make titles.

This one's gonna be be a little different from those other ones. See, I'm a pretty casual kind of girl. I don't like putting too much effort into things. I also like writing things for people, but I don't like being told what I HAVE to write. I inevitably am given something that technically I can write but that I'm not so good at writing. Wouldn't it be better if you could look at what your person wants and write something that works with both your interests and theirs?

So what's going to happen here is you're going to email me at ihavettk@gmail.com by November 9th. If you can't make it by then, give me a comment, but really, that's two weeks, you can make it. You will include this information!

NAME: (This part's self-explanatory)
EMAIL: (I'll probably have it because of the whole this being emailed to me thing, but hey.)
LIVEJOURNAL: (Again pretty self-explanatory)
FAVORITE FANDOMS: (Since this exchange will probably be pretty small, I'm assuming this is DC or Marvel, maybe some others, but go further! Do you like Teen Titans? Birds of Prey? Outsiders? New Teen Titans? Old Teen Titans? Young Justice? Kingdom Come? Justice Riders? Something obscure I'm entirely forgetting?)
FAVORITE CHARACTERS: (List as many as you want! Full names to avoid confusion.)
FAVORITE PAIRINGS: (Like with the last one, as many as you want!)
THINGS YOU LOVE: (Do you love a villain-turned-good? Think hurt/comfort's the best thing ever? Want buddies acting friendish? Want porn? Poetry? Purple prose? Zombies? Here's where you say it!)
PAIRINGS/CHARACTERS YOU DON'T LIKE: (So yeah, avoid these.)
THINGS THAT SQUICK YOU: (Leave this WAAAY out!)
PET PEEVES: (Avoid 'em)
CAN YOU BETA? (Yes or no!)
CAN YOU PINCH-HIT? (No or yes!)
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD: (I don't know, you tell me.)


Just in case that wasn't clear enough, I will fill it out RIGHT HERE AND NOW where you can watch!

THINGS YOU LOVE: I like funny fic. People teasing each other makes me happy. Really sweet fic that makes me melt. Or porn. I've also been known to enjoy bondage, spanking, chocolate, and again jokes, even during sex! I just want the characters I'm reading about to have fun! And Elseworlds! Those are awesome. Also, selfcest is kind of cool. And time travel!
PAIRINGS/CHARACTERS YOU DON'T LIKE: Tim/Cassie, Oliver Queen, Superboy Prime, Ollie/Dinah, any and all batcest, Donna/Dick, Roy/Tim, Dinah/Roy....
THINGS THAT SQUICK YOU: Mpreg, non-con, character death, necrophilia, bestiality, bloodplay, ageplay, calling someone "Daddy" during sex, bad grammar.
PET PEEVES: Referring to people by their hair and eye color. No calling Jason the "ginger haired man." Bad grammar/spelling. MISSPELLING CHARACTER'S NAMES. ConnER Kent is Superboy, as opposed to ConnOR Hawke, who is Green Arrow. Jaime Reyes is not Jamie. I wish this were less of a problem. Calling the asshole an entrance, calling Tim "Timmy" unless doing it specifically to annoy him. Same with Dickie. And Day for Damian. Jay, oddly, doesn't bother me.
CAN YOU BETA? Yes.
CAN YOU PINCH-HIT? No.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD: I do like angst sometimes, but I'd really rather a fun, happy fic for the holidays. Thank you!

"But, Shana!" You say, "This is all very well, but shouldn't you have some RULES?" To which I reply, "SCREW THE RULES! ANARCHY FOR ALL!" And after a long discussion on the benefits of government, I concede your point and set out a few guidelines.

THE RULES (of Doom)!

-Requests are due by November 9. Any later than that and I WILL STAB YOU WITH FIRE*.
-Stories are due December 31, 2009 at 11:59. If you are late, again, stabbed with fire*.
-GET YOUR STORY BETA'D. If you can't find one through the usual channels, send me a note and I'll hook you up with someone.
-There's not really a length rule, but if it's longer than a thousand words, that'd be cool.
-If you need to drop out, shoot me an email and I'll give it to a pinch hitter.
-On December 31, post your story and email/comment to me with a link. I'll make a big post about it. This is a Secret Santa thing, but I'm not doing the "posting all of them anonymously" thing.
-I don't want this to be huge because it will give me a headache. Anyone can play, and you can advertise to your friends who you know would like it or whatever, but I'm not going out of my way to get more people.
-If you're not sure if your recipient will like your fic, look at their journal and see if it's similar to what they've written. If you're still not sure, ask me.
-You don't need to include the words (of Doom!) after everything, but if you want you can.

Any other questions (of doom)? Ask me here!

*Stabbing with fire = be fine with that, but shoot me a comment or an email so I know if you don't mind.

GOOD LUCK! You'll be the second one to get it in, probably. This Shana character was faster. But no one cares about her.

About to fill it out now.

And you want to know what's even crazier? I'm thinking of doing a small fic exchange geared towards Marvel characters (with a likely focus on Spider-man, but other Marvel welcome too) after Yuletide gutted the eligible Marvel fandoms.

So, yeah, five, maybe. XD

Got your reply!

If you do that I might sign up. I don't do much Marvel, but it could be fun.

Cool, it's looking like there's a lot of support for this! :)
