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.

Nationalist propaganda + found poetry:

Doc Scratch <3 Ms. Paint

In the battle,
there is no substitute for
accurate, specific knowledge.

Ignorance is evil and paralytic.

The best intentions
the most sincere motives
ineffective and futile if divorced from adequate knowledge.

she is devoted.
she is determined to do all that a mother may do.
She feeds;
she provides;
she cares, and gives her lovely home.

In the environment of this young girl,
men who specialize in gaining the confidence of little girls
giving them candy
enticing them
molest them.

neglects to give the specific information to a situation,
she will fail in her duty,
all her loving care will count for nothing
when the crisis comes.

There is no substitute for specific knowledge.

the purpose
to give that knowledge.
Some of it is a little technical.
Some of it the everyday needs of life.

the information contained in it is essential to survival.

The statement is frequently heard:
"You cannot trust the Communists"
This is incorrect; you can trust.

They are extremely trustworthy.
trust a cancer cell
the laws of its lawless growth.
trust an armed bank robber
take the money and try to escape.
trust the Communists
act in accordance with the laws of their being.

operate according to clearly defined principles,
both trustworthy and predictable.
continue to believe,
feel and believe as we do,
the movement is,
as Winston Churchill described it,
"a riddle wrapped in an enigma."

movements of the heavenly bodies
mysterious and unpredictable
Copernicus discovered the governing laws.

understand the philosophy,
the unifying purpose
concealed
their frequently chaotic and contradictory conduct is revealed.

Nikita Khrushchev said:
"Anyone who thinks we have forsaken
deceives himself.
That won't happen
till shrimps learn to whistle."
to practice Marxism-Leninism.

Stripped
barest essentials,
Marxism is
the universality of class warfare,
Leninism
the doctrine of the historic role
of the Communist Party

to consummate the universal class war
in world Communist victory.

The basic
is that a state of war exists
and that has been created to win this war.

originally discovered, not declared,

between two classes of society
the proletariat and the bourgeoisie.
The bourgeoisie
class of property ownership,
owns the means of production.
The proletariat
the class of labor.

Between these two classes,
to discover a state of war.
desires profit; desires wages.
go up, come down.
go up, come down.
a fundamental
between these two classes.
This conflict Marx called the class war.

the bourgeoisie is established
created
as an instrument
to oppress and exploit.

the proletariat
creates
manifests itself
With the progress of history,
come to power

The bourgeoisie remains
her associated allies.
Thus transferred from the plane.
fundamental, therefore,
not that they could be at war;
not that they might be at war;
not that they will be at war;

but that they are declared;
universal;
encompasses every aspect;
vestige of truce.

did not choose it;
they simply recognized it.
duty
total and complete victory.

...fuck me, the world is too beautiful right now and I gotta sit down for a bit. THANK YOU

Haha. You're welcome! Thank YOU for the wonderful prompt. I can't seem to stay away from found poetry... and Nationalist propagranda? Be still my heart. <3

Oh DAMN, son! So, I basically just realized found poetry is a thing, thanks to a few of these prompts, and as a long lover of dadaism, I can't believe I just found this shit, because you see this shit? And you see that chain? Motherfuckers are NOWHERE NEAR each other.

So yeah, I REALLY enjoyed this one. I mean, brilliant source work - the bit with the candy was PRICELESS and, just, YES. The ability to take something completely unrelated and turn it into FANFIC - YES.

Okay I'm done gushing now.

Haha! Wow! I'm really glad you enjoyed this.

The prompt combined two things I love and I just couldn't pass it up, even if I'm like... wow, okay, how do I make this pairing because I haven't actually seen it before anywhere? lol

I'm happy that you found it satisfactory. :3
