defabricathon

From the inestimable [info]gabby_silang comes the rules of our first (perhaps the first? unlikely but inspiring) co-modded ficathon. Do participate, or I will send Blythe after you. Ah, but who is Blythe, you ask... indeed, my friends, indeed.


There are all sorts of ficathons in the world. Character-driven. Fandom-specific. Pairing-specific. This isn't those ficathons. We don't care what characters you use. We don't care what fandom you write in. We don't give a donkey's butt which pairings you like. This ficathon has one, bright, shining idea that holds it all together: laser-induced nudity.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com


Defabricator. dee-FAB-ruh-KAY-tor. Noun. (1)A machine which emitts a beam that zaps all your clothes off.

I see this, right? And I says to [info]shadesofbrixton, I says, "that should be in every show!" And then we come to, "Ficathon!" At this point it should be noted that this is as much her fault as it is mine and that of both Captain Jack Harkness and the BBC.

Every story written for this ficathon must include the use of the Defabricator. That's about it. This is multi-fandom, so while the idea originates in Doctor Who, you need not write about, or even be familiar with, that show. For visual reference, caps of the Defabricator in use can be found--> here.

Much of the following is shamelessly cribbed from [info]sarkastic, goddess of ficathons.

Here is how it's going to work. Under "Top 3 Fandoms" you will list, in no particular order, three fandoms in which you'd like to recieve a story. Under "Fandoms you'll write for" you will list all the fandoms in which you are willing to write. We'll use those to match you up with someone who shares as many as possible of your Top 3.

Name:
Email:
Top 3 Fandoms:
Fandoms you'll write for:
One thing you want to see in the fic:
One thing you don't want to see in the fic:
What is one thing you absolutely do not want to write?:
If someone drops out, will you be willing to write a backup fic?:

Final day for applications: August 13
Assignments sent out on: August 15
Posting of story: September 29

Additional rules:

- Because it involved compulsory nudity, this ficathon will have a minimum rating of PG-13 for all stories.
- Stories will have a minimum length of 1,000 words.

Could write Good Omens, BtVS/AtS, and X-Files in a pinch.

**Since most of the fandoms I'm requesting aren't getting much representation here (thus making match-ups difficult), I'm more than happy for 'DCU' to cover not only comics, but also DC cartoons and TV series. *g*
