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.

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)

I knew I'd seen this prompt. Hell yes I'm doing this. Hope it's up to scratch even if I haven't got anywhere near Sorkin's writing style. Sorry it's kinda short!

Vriska swings around on her chair. Light day in the office. Sun is shining outside, spider is staying put in its tank despite ample prodding so she's taken it upon herself to get sick to her stomach. It's not working.

She skids to a stop when she hears a knock on the door and looks up. John enters the room simultaneously suppressing a smile and looking apologetic as he was obviously interrupting very important business. She grips the edge of the desk to stop her head rotating.

"I know you're probably thinking about matters of national security and whatever but I you might want to take a look at the headline to prepare yourself. It's not a big thing-" she looks at the picture paper-clipped to the file he's dumped in front of her. Oh, no of course that's tiny, "- But CNN's got it and I figured hey! Why not share the reporting news with the one and only press secretary."

"Hey, John? Mind giving me a tiny hint as to what I'm looking at here."

He doesn't twitch a muscle. "Godzilla's prettier cousin."

"Of course. Okay. When everyone asks me, 'Hey Vriska, you know that thing that's rampaging around, what are you going to do with that?' do you have an answer for me or am I going to have to come up with something on the spot?"

His mouth does twitch at that. "Well, NSA have been talking setting up a pen." Another twitch. "And an amusement park." A short choke of laughter. "And a petting zoo." And then he dissolves into a fit of giggles. Vriska pulls him into a quick kiss before heading off to the briefing room.

Probability she can keep it together more than John in there: 88%. Karkat wouldn't think it was high enough.
