Het Challenge

All right, let's get this party started! I promised a new round, so here we go.

This round of het_challenge will run as a build-your-own-prompt challenge: people will submit pairings, and scenarios, but the two will not be connected. Participants' challenge, then, is to mix and match the pairings and scenarios to create complete prompts.

Details on prompting:
- Prompting will open today, and will run until July 5.
- You may only leave five prompts each for pairings and scenarios. (This is to make sure prompters choose things they'd really like to see done, and nobody swamps the list with every possible m/f combination of characters from her fandom.)
- Threesomes/moresomes are allowed, so long as the grouping contains a mix of genders.

Details on claiming:
- Claiming will start as soon after the close of prompting as I can assemble the list -- probably on July 6.
- Each combination of pairing and scenario can be claimed twice for fic and twice for art. Those elements can still be claimed more times in other combinations. (Thus, two people can claim "Zack/Aeris" and "sneaking out at night" for fic, but a third person would be welcome to claim "Zack/Aeris" for another fic as long as the scenario were different.)
- You may have three claims at a time, but you're welcome to post your works early and go back to claim more after that.
- Yes, you may claim pairings, scenarios, or both that you submitted yourself.

Details on posting:
- Posting will begin whenever you have pieces complete, and run through the end of September.
- Posting will follow the same guidelines as it has in the past (see the asylum userinfo for headers, etc).

Any questions? Ask away!

Submit your prompts here!

- You can submit up to five prompts each for pairings and scenarios (but you don't have to choose the same number of each).

- Remember, participants will mix and match these, so the pairings and the scenarios that you suggest don't have to have anything to do with each other.

- Threesomes/moresomes are allowed, so long as the grouping contains a mix of genders.

- When prompting for a pairing, please list the fandom's full name so I can organize the complete list (e.g., "Harry Potter: Lucius/Narcissa," or "Tales of the Abyss: Guy/Noelle")

- You may prompt for crossovers -- list them as "Crossover: Fandom/Fandom: Character/Character" (e.g., "Crossover: Kingdom Hearts/Shadow Hearts: Xigbar/Margarete")

- If someone else has already prompted for a pairing that you like, congratulations! That pairing is already in the list, and you can use that slot for someone else.

- Scenarios can be very simple ("handcuffs and whipped cream") or more detailed ("A employs B to track down something that was stolen from them. After an ordeal, B acquires is, but refuses to return it until A ups the price. A pays with sex.") but make sure that they're flexible, not dependent on the setting of one particular fandom (e.g., "accidental genderswitch" works well; "discovering a genderswitch materia" does not).

Have fun -- can't wait to see what you come up with!
