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.

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, please use this format in your title.
PROMPT: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
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.
FILL: TEAM [YOUR SHIP]
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.

I think I filled your other Dave<3Jade prompt and I'm sorry but I really like your prompts. They're great.

She’s not like the other dames you know who live in towers.

For one she’s not locked up there because of some dumb curse, or an overbearing father, or some ominous prophecy, or anything like that. No, she lives up there because she likes it.

Secondly, she’s not even locked up there to begin with. It takes you a good half hour to scale the thing on a good day, but whenever she wants to leave, she just uses a spell to float down, and then a different one to float back up. It’s effortless.

It’s no wonder the townspeople are scared of her. She’s a girl who doesn’t have anybody reining her in and has enough power to level the kingdom, if she wanted to. Luckily for them, all she wants are a few of their crops and farm animals every now and then to further her “experiments.”

Unluckily for you, they don’t see things that way, and they’re starting to get a little impatient. Because every day, you promise, “I’m going to go and get myself a witch today, this time for sure.” And every night, you return with your clothing a little disheveled, and you shrug and say, “Sorry, guess she got the best of me again.”

It’s not really a lie, but you’re not exactly giving them the truth either.

So the next time you two are alone, hidden away where nobody else can find you, you tell her: “You should probably move yourself over to the next kingdom. Hear their pitchforks aren’t as sharp over there.”

She giggles. “But if I did that, then there’d be some other knight sent to come and kill me!” She pecks you on the lips. “And I like the one I have right now.”

You start to protest, but she silences you with a finger to your lips.

“Besides, if the ‘best knight in the land’ can’t conquer me, then I have nothing to fear from a bunch of scared villagers! What’s the worst that can happen?” She smiles and kisses you again.

And you can think of a lot of “worst that can happens” which end with one or both of you dead, but you hold your tongue.

Years later, you’ll regret it.
