Porn Battle 5: Prompt Post
Okay, as I mentioned, there are some new things we're trying out. Let me stress again that we're not doing any of this to be jerks; we want to make the battle run as smoothly as possible for everyone involved.
Fandom, Pairing, prompt word, lyric/phrase (optional)
Use commas to separate each element. Not en or em dashes! Not colons! Not semi colons! Commas.
Use the full name of the fandom. No abbreviations with the following exception:
Because the games are listed this way, Final Fantasy prompts will be as follows, using the Roman numerals: Final Fantasy VII. Not Final Fantasy 7, or Final Fantasy Seven, or FF VII.
If there's a "The" in the title, we'll use it. So it's "The Chronicles of Narnia". Not Chronicles of Narnia or Narnia. We know that this is not common alphabetizing practice, but using the full name of each and every fandom makes it easier for everyone involved. It's easier for us because we only have to sort things once and it's easier for you because you'll know exactly where to go to find any given fandom.
Each prompt must be separate. If you have a fandom and a pairing and then six different prompt words for that pairing, post them as six different prompts instead of combining them all on one line.
The five categories are:
Anime/Manga/Eastern Media -- pretty self-explanatory really. Please note that J-Pop RPS doesn't go in here; the "eastern media" bit is for things like Japanese drama shows or Hong Kong action flicks and so on.
Crossover -- again, pretty obvious. Under this system, you no longer need to put "crossover" in front of a crossover prompt.
RPF -- As I said above, all RPF goes here.
Video Games -- Any video games, Western or Eastern, go here.
Western Media -- yet again, self-explanatory.
When you post your prompts, we'd like you to tell us which categories they fall into. Since this is a new thing, we're not going to drop your prompts if you forget, but we really do think that this will make it easier for everyone to find prompts once the prompt list goes live.
You can post in two ways.
1. Separate top level comments. Say you have anime, video game and RPF prompts. You post each group in its own top level comment, listing the category in the comment subject header or in the body of the comment above the list of prompts.
2. Everything in one top level comment (if it fits). Example:
Anime/manga:
Princess Princess, Mikoto/Toru/Yuujiro, velvet
Fullmetal Alchemist, Ed/Roy, head games
Crossovers:
Stargate: Atlantis/RPS, John/Jason Momoa, learning to fly
Final Fantasy VIII/Supernatural, Irvine/Sam, gun oil
RPS:
RPF (music), Frank Iero/Gerard Way, being easy isn't pretty
RPF (actor), Jude Law/Ewan McGregor, domesticity
RPF (sports), Evan Lysacek/Johnny Weir, sit-spin
RPF (other), Barack Obama/Keith Olbermann, mutual admiration
Video games:
Guild Wars, Varesh/Kormir, reconciliation
Final Fantasy VIII, Irvine/Squall, hunger
Western media:
Smallville, Lana/Lex, acrimony
Stargate: Atlantis, Elizabeth/Teyla, negotiations
Supernatural, Dean/Sam, carwash
Yes, this is a big change, but it's one we've been pondering since sometime after the second battle and we really hope it'll make things easier for everyone involved in the Battle.
I know this seems like a lot to throw at people, but if you break it down, the big change is the category thing and we've tried to make that as easy as possible.
Sooooo...prompts go here!
Bring 'em on!
As of now--4:30 am PST Wednesday--the prompt post is closed. We'll have links to the lists up tomorrow, if not earlier. Remember, there's nothing to stop you from starting to write, right now. :)
