Porn Battle

Okay, I'm doing the stats a little differently this time, and unless a lot of you feel really strongly about it, we'll be doing it this way from now on.

290 stories
101 Fandoms
72 - writers

Top Ten Writers:
mithrigil - 20 (tied)
pegunicent - 20 (tied)
katekintail - 15
chichirinoda - 13
ladynero - 12
branchandroot - 10
cetus_nightmare - 10 (tied)
mitsuhachi - 10 (tied)
icedark_elf - 9
bitterfig - 7 (tied)
helens78 - 7 (tied)

There were also 12 anonymous posters

Top Ten Fandoms:

Final Fantasy VII - 34
Final Fantasy XII - 16 (tied)
Yami no Matsuei - 16 (tied)
Bleach - 10 (tied)
Iron Man - 10 (tied)
Supernatural - 9
Kingdom Hearts - 8 (tied)
Saiunkoku Monogatari - 8 (tied)
The Chronicles of Narnia - 8 (tied)
The Venture Bros - 8 (tied)

There were 8 RPF(actor) fics and 13 Crossovers.

First off, you'll notice that the layout has changed. I liked the look of Dear Dairy better, but this has some advantages like showing icons and also the link option in comments which, trust me, made doing this list a lot easier.

I checked to make sure that all my coding worked, but I didn't check every link. If you find an incorrect link or if I spelled your user name wrong or if, Gods forbid, I left your fic out, a) I apologize and b) please let me know so I can fix it.

Finally, 290 fics! Give yourselves a pat on the back because that's a new Porn Battle record!

I'll have a stats post up later tonight.

( From Ace Attorney to Crossover, X/1999/Revolutionary Girl Utena! )

Round Four will close sometime late tomorrow evening, probably around 11:00pm PST.

The Master List will go up sometime Thursday afternoon with the statistics following thereafter. Please stay tuned to the comm after that; we're going to be working on some changes that have become necessary as this thing grows bigger than we expected, and we'll be looking for some input from the community.

Thank you to everyone who wrote porn or left feedback, you're all awesome!

Hi hi! There's been some confusion about where prompts are located in cases where the full title of a fandom does not get sorted into the same letter category as the short-form name of a fandom.

All fandoms whose full titles start with "The" are alphabetized under T.

Narnia = The Chronicles of Narnia
Riddick = The Chronicles of Riddick
Dresden Files = The Dresden Files
Hitchhiker's Guide = The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Check the S-Z post if you can't find prompts and your fandom's full title starts with "The"!

And please bear in mind that we ask for full titles of a fandom to aid in consistency -- some people are going to call the fandom one thing, some will be calling it another. Generally, if you spell out the whole entire thing, the only inconsistencies you get are in punctuation (Stargate: SG-1 vs. Stargate SG-1 vs. Stargate: SG1 vs. Stargate SG1), which will more or less sort into the proper order anyway. But we don't want people to have to search the A-J post AND the I-R post AND the S-Z post for "Chronicles", "Narnia", and "The"!

As of now--11:07pm PST, Wednesday June 18--this round of the Porn Battle is over. Thank you for participating!

Okay, so far this is the Biggest Porn Battle Ever! Now it's your job to make sure it stays that way by writing as much porn as you possibly can. To help you (and you know, those of us in a fic challenge with a due date of Sunday--you know who you are), I'm going to give us all not one, but two extra days.

Yes, you heard it right! The deadline for Round Four is (roughly) midnight of Wednesday, June 18.

Because the prompt list is so long, I'm splitting it. This is the S-Z and Crossover Post. Characters, numbers and A-H prompts are here and the I-R prompts are here.

You must put the prompt in the subject header of your comment. If the prompt is too long, name the fandom and pairing and as much of the rest as you can. (This is so that at the end of the round, we can make a link back to your fic on the final Master List.)

Please check the list over and drop me a line on the prompt post if I missed your prompts. Also please note, briar_pipe was kind enough to give me a list of some of the full names of the various anime/manga prompts (if they're screwed up, it's my fault not hers). So if you used an abbreviation, your prompt may look a little different. I did make a few other changes involving abbreviations, Roman numerals and the word "the", so please check both lists before you ask me to repost a prompt. Spelling mistakes and the order of the names in a pairing/moresome were not changed so, to use SGA as an example, make sure you look for John/Rodney and Rodney/John.

( Let's get ready to ruuuuuummmmblllllle! )

As always, this post is a group effort, each of us have built on the original prompt post, so many thanks to my fellow mods!

Oh hai! It's 12:39 PDT and the prompt submission portion of the battle is closed. Look for the prompts to go up hopefully in the next hour or so.

In case anyone's counting, my rough count of prompts is 2,386!!

Here we go! It's time to offer up prompts for round four of porn_battle!

1) Prompts may be slash (both m/m and f/f), or het or threesomes or moresomes.

2) Fandoms may be any fandom you can think of; both FPF and RPF are allowed.

3) Please follow the format of the examples listed below; it will make it much easier for us to post the final list. You may offer as many prompts as you like; the idea is to give people a lot to choose from.

Fandom (spelled out -- no abbreviations, please), Pairing/Moresome, prompt word(s), prompt phrases/quotes/lyrics (totally optional)

If your prompt is for a crossover, please start with "Crossover, Fandom/Fandom/(however many fandoms you want to see crossed over)," and then add pairing/prompt word/lyrics as desired.

For RPF, let's try this: tell us whether your pairing is actor, music, sports, or other. If you don't give us a category, we will automatically put it in the "other" category. Please do NOT give us a more specific category (CW, lotrips, etc) or you will just confuse us.

Examples:
Stargate: Atlantis, John/Rodney/Ronon/Teyla, outsider, I am just a poor boy/though my story's seldom told
Stargate: Atlantis, Teyla/Keller, readiness
Crossover, Stargate: Atlantis/Stargate: SG-1, Elizabeth/Sam, fruity umbrella drinks
Crossover, Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Supernatural, Buffy/Sam/Dean, competition, Anything you can do/I can do better/I can do anything/better than you
RPF (music), Frank Iero/Gerard Way, being easy isn't pretty
RPF (actor), Jude Law/Ewan McGregor, domesticity, when I get older/losing my hair/many years from now
RPF (sports), Evan Lysacek/Johnny Weir, sit-spin

4) Fanart is most definitely welcome in the porn battles! Go wild! (But please, if your art is NSFW, link us to it instead of posting it in comments)

5) Please leave your prompts as top-level comments! In other words, don't put them in a comment to a comment. Otherwise we have to go in and unfold all the comments and things can (and likely will) be missed.

If you have any questions, please ask!

Otherwise, let's get this party started! You have until late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning (6/12) to leave prompts. The prompts will be posted Thursday morning for your consideration and inspiration.

And yes, you may start writing porn based on prompts as you see them go up (more than one person can write to a prompt) but you can't post until the list goes up on Thursday.

I know this is late, and I want to take the blame for it. Seriously, I got caught up in fic challenges and RL stuff and it's 100% my fault that the porn battle got lost for a little while. I'm going to give everyone a little more writing time for Porn Battle Four as an additional apology.

I'd also like to thank the wonderful anonymous person who gave us a year of paid IJ time! We really appreciate it!

So, here's the schedule for Porn Battle Four:

Prompts post goes up: early Monday morning, 6/9
Prompts post closes: late Wednesday afternoon, 6/11
Writing starts/prompts go up: early Thursday morning, 6/12
Writing closes: late Tuesday afternoon, 6/17

Please feel free to spread the word far and wide; let's see if we can break our previous records this time!

One more thing I'd like to correct. In all the information about the Porn Battle, I somehow never actually explained that the concept of a Porn Battle was started on LJ by oxoniensis who has been generous enough to allow us to use the term. My thanks to her, both for that and for awesome porn battles past.
