challenge request?
Jun. 25th, 2005 01:27 pmThis is a challenge gacked from
tea_and_snark.
Basically, what you do is give me one or two characters (specify if you want romantic relationship or no if you give me two) from any of the "fandoms" listed below. Then three words to include. Then an object.
And I'll write you a fic with those three things.
The worlds you can request CHARS from:
Kiy/AFTD (And From the Darkness)
VDD/VDD Offshoots
Iron Mage
Shadowstorm
And the Music
And if you're
figletofvenice, then you can ask for The Great Escape.
(and if you really, truly want a fic and have your heart set on a fandom you know I know, then you can request it. Except Good Omens or other Neil Gaiman works (excluding Sandman), for which I do not write fanfiction, not even with thirty-nine-and-a-half pseudonyms)

Date: 2005-07-12 08:15 pm (UTC)I'm one of those scary freaky people who have been writing stories and actually gone to the library to research random details (for example, I was writing a vampire novel at one point, and actually went to a reference librarian and had her help me look up the average height of Japanese adults in the late 1600's. No joke).
Actually, do you want to write out accents, or no? Like, for example, if you look at Robert Burns' poetry, he writes so that it's read in something approximating a Scottish accent (he knows it's 'about', he just writes 'aboot' because that's how he said it). I would navigate towards no, because as you said, approximating the accent inside your own head is hard enough, and the word choice and syntax should be enough, but I'm willing to abide by whatever you want.
