Bonus Round 1

Genre-Mixing

Hey, shippers! Welcome to your very first bonus round proper--we hope you have lots of fun with it! This time around we're going to be asking you to mix it up a little--each fanwork posted for this round will be a mish-mash of two different genres, blended together in a delightful incestuous slurry to create an UNSTOPPABLE CREATIVE CONCOCTION--er. Or. Something.

Yeah, we're genre-mixing. That's what we're doing this round.

Rules

1. Submit prompts! Prompts should consist of two different genres and one ship. This cannot be your team's ship! These are worth 5 points each, for a maximum of 100 points per team.


2. Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!


3. You may not fill prompts for your ship, nor may you fill your own team's prompts.


4. Fills should be posted as replies to the prompts which they are for, following the format below. They may be any medium.

A lonely child,
a garden enchantress.

cravings associated with the arrival
a rapunzel plant
the garden longs for it,
desperate to the point of death.

of two breaks
the garden to gather some
the enchantress catches him
He begs for mercy,
the woman lenient,
on condition
surrendered to her

Desperate, the man agrees.

the enchantress takes as her own,
golden reaches
shuts away in the middle,
only one room and one window.

the witch visits, she beneath and calls out:
I may climb the golden stair.

Upon a hook beside
dropping it down
then climb up
imbued with the power of flight

rides through by ethereal voice,
he searches for returns
listening
learns how to gain access

so, he climbs up,

plan a means of escape,
wherein he will come each night
and bring her silk,

Before the plan can come to fruition,
foolishly gives away.

asks the witch
(a moment of forgetfulness)
why it is easier to draw up
anger,
cuts short
and casts her out

the wilderness calls that night,
the enchantress
down to haul him up.
his horror,
staring at the witch

she tells him in anger that he will never see again,

he leaps in despair
blinded by the thorns
the witch pushes him
and he falls

he wanders through the wastelands
fetches water,
fall into arms, tears his sight.

variation to twin boy
the story ends with the revelation
the witch after the leap
slipped from hands
and landed below,
leaving her trapped.
