Prompting Post

[slashmarks]

Prompting will open March 31, 11:59 PM EDT. Until then, comments on this post are turned off. I will post an announcement on the comm when prompting opens. In the meantime, feel free to ask questions in the Discord or on the rules post.

Prompting is now open! It will remain open until April 15 11:59 PM EDT.

This post is for submitting prompts for Fandom Orienteer Challenge! These prompts will provide details for your assignment. Each participant will claim several prompts, or ask to be randomly assigned prompts, in order to sign up. More than one person can claim each prompt, and you can claim your own prompts. You don't have to sign up in order to submit prompts!

Guidelines:

Prompts should be submitted in the following format:

Subject Line: Fandom, Characters/Pairing

Comment Text: Prompt details go here.

You may use "Any" in any field. Prompts can be as detailed or simple as you like, but remember that your prompt will be anonymous and open to anyone to use. Very specific or detailed story outlines may not be the best fit. Because assignments will not be gifts for specific people, you may not include DNWs (Do Not Wants).

Prompts must be submitted anonymously. Prompts submitted by logged in accounts will be deleted. (You may resubmit them anonymously.)

Example 1:

MCU, Natasha Romanoff/Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers

Pre-Winter Soldier!AU where Natasha and Steve capture Bucky on a mission and find out about Hydra from him, and then they have to decide what to do.

Example 2:

Any Fandom, Any Female Character/Any Female Character

I'd like an explicit, kinky romance centered on any femslash pairing! Kink ideas: bondage, spanking, exhibitionism.

Example 3:

Original Work, Any

Werewolves!

ETA (April 5): I'm currently working on creating a prompt spreadsheet, and will post a link for browsing when prompting is up. Keep up the great prompts!

Persona 5, Joker/Sae Niijima

[(Anonymous)]

After the interrogation, Joker recuperates and hides at the Niijima residence.

OW/Any, Middle-Aged Virginal Queen/Her Guardswoman

[(Anonymous)]

Long-term pining or sudden realisation? Maybe both?

Any fandom, Any femslash pairing

[(Anonymous)]

Ballet AU! 🩰 Darker takes and rivalries welcome, but so is fluff!

Andor, Mon Mothma

[(Anonymous)]

The logistics of balancing her personal life, her political career, and her secret work for the Rebellion (with optional bonus of finding comfort in a relationship outside her marriage)

Harry Potter, Fleur Delacour/Nymphadora Tonks

[(Anonymous)]

Magical marriage contract.

Tonks does not end up having a relationship with Remus Lupin and Fleur does not marry Bill Weasley. She meets Fleur and for reasons of a magical nature, find themselves subject to a magical marriage contract. Cue Tonks and Fleur having to navigate married life, a growing friendship between them, family drama, current/past relationships all while trying to find a way to void their magical marriage. What starts out as an unwilling partnership turns into something more.

Harry Potter, Hermione Granger/Pansy Parkinson

[(Anonymous)]

Arranged marriage.

Hermione is too busy for relationships, but also wants to get married and have the kind of married life her parents and Mr and Mrs Weaslet have. She signs herself to the Ministry of Magic's arranged marriage programme and gets matched with Pansy Parkinson. Despite their past, Hermione chooses to get married to Pansy against the advice and opinions of her friends and family.

Harry Potter, Daphne Greengrass/Harry Potter

[(Anonymous)]

Fake dating.

Daphne and Harry are both in attendance at an event but separately and are not even aware that either are at the same event, until Daphne accidentally spills her drink over him as she turns around. The Daily Prophet catches the moments and publishes it. Rumours abound that they have been secretly dating for months. For publicity reasons, Daphne and Harry agree to continue "dating" and stage a break up in a month's time. Only, things get a little harder when Daphne finds she likes "dating" Harry Potter.

Harry Potter, Katie Bell/Alicia Spinnet/Angelina Johnson

[(Anonymous)]

Getting together.

After the war, Katie moves to London and reaches out to Alicia and Angelina for a place to stay who offer their spare bedroom. As they live together, Katie finds herself developing feelings for both of them, which isn't helped by how loud Alicia and Angelina are when they have sex. It's made even worse when Katie, on one such occasion, hears her own name being said. Surely, they don't feel the same way? Or do they?

Harry Potter, Hannah Abbott/Millicent Bulstrode

[(Anonymous)]

Getting together.

Hannah becomes the new landlady of the Leaky Cauldron and sets about modernising the pub without losing the charm that makes it the heart of Diagon Alley. She's struggling with a particularly difficult charm when Millicent Bulstrode, of all people, appear in the pub who knows the wandwork for magical carpentry.

Harry Potter, Hermione Granger/Minerva McGonagall

[(Anonymous)]

Time travel. Angst.

A spell backfires and Hermione is sent to the past where she meets Minerva McGonagall, in her early twenties and in her first few years teaching at Hogwarts. With no place to go, Hermione stays at Hogwarts and is temporarily employed as a teaching assistant.

Late nights spent researching a way to get back home brings Hermione and Minerva closer together, while the knowledge that Hermione will eventually leave hangs heavy over their heads.

DC Comics - Jason Todd in No Man's Land

[(Anonymous)]

What if Jason Todd came back before the No Man's Land arc? Maybe his return arc is interrupted by Cataclysm, maybe Cataclysm just happens afterwards. What would it look like if Jason was one of the gang leaders in No Man's Land Gotham? Would he work together with Helena or Barbara at all, or fight with them? How would he feel about Bruce's arrival in No Man's Land? How does Jason's presence change the story, especially with regards to the Joker's role?

Locked Tomb - Baby Gideon & Any Lyctor

[(Anonymous)]

Somehow, Gideon ends up being raised by a Lyctor of your choice (feel free to even go for deceased Lyctors!). Are they keeping her a secret from John? Did John fob off Baby Duty onto one of them? Go wild! Or maybe the how and the why don't even matter, and it's just about one (or multiple!) Lyctor(s) of your choice.

Vren-serien, Anya/Kirvan or Anya & Kirvan

[(Anonymous)]

I'd love anything and everything for this fandom with zero works on AO3, and none that I know about anywhere else either. (The canon is a semi-obscure Swedish YA sci-fi book series from the mid 00's.)

+ Loyalty kink.
+ Vasslo and Tarrek showing up too.
+ A look at a vren society, either the one on Earth or one elsewhere in space.
+ Anya and Kirvan going on a post-canon, vren-related mission to Earth.
+ AU where Anya manages to save her family.
+ AU where Anya actually becomes a "spejare".

Mansfield Park, Tom Bertram/Henry Crawford

[(Anonymous)]

Tom Bertram is gay (and probably had a crush on his friend John Yates). Henry Crawford figures it out, and before he can get the idea to seduce Fanny Price, decides instead to seduce poor Tom.

+Taking this to dark places
+Henry actually falling for Tom, like he did with Fanny
+Scandal
+Exploration of Tom's earlier crushes
+Mary Crawford being involved in the plan somehow (background Henry/Mary welcome—maybe Mary ends up marrying Tom and they all live together?)

The Last Shadow Puppets, Miles Kane/Alex Turner

[(Anonymous)]

Write the Buzzcut/Floppy epic of FFA's dreams!

TGCF, He Xuan/Shi Qingxuan

[(Anonymous)]

Soulmates as horror.

Emma & Mansfield Park, Emma Woodhouse/Fanny Price

[(Anonymous)]

I like the Mary/Fanny dynamic and I like the Emma/Harriet dynamic and I think there are both a lot of similarities and enough differences for it to be interesting to explore this mash-up dynamic in a fic.

Harry Potter, Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley

[(Anonymous)]

A Lord Potter AU that's pro-Weasleys and pro-Dumbledore.

Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl/Juliet Butler

[(Anonymous)]

Hot babysitter crush turns into a mutual slowburn when Juliet has to take over for her elder brother.

All Elite Wrestling, Eddie Kingston/Jon Moxley and Jericho Appreciation Society

[(Anonymous)]

The JAS corners Mox and noncons and tortures him. Eddie finds him and takes care of him.

+1 for autistic Mox.
+1 for Daniel Garcia reaching out to Eddie and leaving a message letting him know Mox is hurt.
++1 for the above leading to a face turn (could include 2point0 as well)

Artemis Fowl, Artemis Fowl/Minerva Paradizo

[(Anonymous)]

AU. Artemis didn't skip 3 years at the end of The Lost Colony and his relationship with Minerva develops into a mentorship/UST-laden rivalship over shady fairy dealings.

Fake AH Crew, Matt Bragg & FAHC Ensemble

[(Anonymous)]

Geoff accidentally rents an apartment in the Fakes' apartment complex to civilian!Matt, who is oblivious to who his new neighbors actually are. A comedy of errors ensues, ending with Matt joining the crew.

+1 for the inclusion of socmed, especially LJ/DW, as Matt starts to realize what's going on
+1 for they/them Matt
+1 for Matt POV

Original Work/Any Fandom, Any Character/Ship

[(Anonymous)]

Superpowered/magic/etc human's powers manifest traits that reflect real life autism (e.g. obsessive focus leading to hyperspecific competence, sensory issues from supersenses, social desires and/or blindness formed by empath powers). The Chosen One, who grew up in the mundane world, is bemused to find that the magical world considers their "faults" to be indicators of great strength.

Original Work/Any Fandom, Any Female Character/Close Friend

[(Anonymous)]

Prim, prudish, uptight female character with a repressed pregnancy kink has a lot of PIV sex with sloppy birth control methods. When she "accidentally" conceives, her exasperated close friend steps up to help her through it and co-parent the child (and maybe impregnate her the second time as well).

The Sandman, Daniel/Any

[(Anonymous)]

Daniel coming to terms with his similarities and differences to Morpheus through romance and sex.
