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

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.

Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!

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

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

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, please use this format in your title.

Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

If you are filling a prompt, use this format in your title.

Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Scoring
For prompt posts: 5 points each (maximum of 100 per team)

For fills (as stated here):
First 5 entries in each post: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10 in each post: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15 in each post: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+ in each post: 5 (per entry)

All scored content must be created/assembled new for this round.

This is a bit light on the "comedy" part, I'm afraid, but very good prompt; thank you!

Jade glows now. That takes some getting used to.

So does the whole part-dog thing, but that’s so bizarre your mind hasn’t even tried to fully comprehend it. You didn’t even think radiation worked that way.

(You wish it’d worked that way for you.)

But the glowing is really throwing you off. It’s not something you notice much out in the sun, on those days when the two of you have to risk crossing the sun-baked earth for new shelter. She looks a little greener than usual, sure, and if you really squint, you can make it out. But at night she lights up like a fucking lava lamp.

“Turn it off,” you tell her, as you do every night when you have the strength to talk. “Fucking zombie men are gonna track us down.”

She hits you in the face with her tail. “I would if I could! Besides it doesn’t matter if they track us down. I can just take out all of the zombie men with my sonic bark!”

It’s a testament to how weird things are that you’ve grown to accept that as a legitimate statement.

Sometimes at night, you dream about the way things used to be. When Jade didn’t glow like a goddess but she was brilliant anyways. Back when would describe her latest inventions to you and your long-since-vaporized friends at the lunch table. You thought you had to protect her, then. Somehow keep her genius safe from the drudgery of high school.

These days, she’s the one protecting you. She stands between you and what’s left of the world as what’s left of your hair falls from your scalp.

Funny how things work sometimes.
