Holiday giftfic!
Dec. 14th, 2006 01:03 pmOkay kids, it's the holiday season! (I'm sure none of you noticed.) All sorts of people are interested in writing gifts and giftfics, so this is a memething designed to get all our giving on!
Step 1: You post here with a short drabble. The only requirements are that it be an AU modern-day Earth setting and involve some sort of holiday theme. Ideally this is done so that even non-creative people can write five sentences of an idea and then get a giftfic, but you can go long on an intro drabble if you want.
Step 2: At the end of your comment, you specify who you want to see in a follow-up. It cannot be someone you wrote about in your drabble!
Step 3: I will write you the follow-up -- using the same holiday theme you did! But I'm not the only one. Anyone can jump in and write the fic to a comment that inspired them, and them specify more characters to use with that theme. We can wind up having chain-fic on a certain theme!
So someone writes a mini-drabble about Sora, Riku, and Kairi going caroling, and they request either Axel and Roxas or Demyx for their follow-up. I write you a fic about Axel admiring Roxas's rarely-heard singing voice! And if someone else comments with a mini-drabble about Axel teasing Demyx for his critique of carolers, they can request Sora and Roxas for their follow-up... even though the first person did Sora and I did Roxas, because their fic involved neither.
Get it? Got it? Good!
Possible themes: Candy canes, stockings, caroling, lights, eggnog, mistletoe, Christmas trees, holiday dinner, menorahs, dreidels, matzoh and how lame it is, gifts, shopping, getting lost in the car on the way to a relative's, etc! Go wild.
((You may also request a normal giftfic from me the old-fashioned way, if you shun all mortal holiday traditions and hate fun.))
