6.10. 10x10 party!

[kuro_pantsu]

Next round of the Great Big Horrible Quiz will be up ASAP - but for the meantime I'm delivering a quick one-shot creative minigame for you to enjoy! (Sorry...I'm not the best person for crafting puzzles...)

So let's get started with a little fic game!



10x10 is a fairly simple fic challenge - the premise is basically to do 10 10 word fics, resulting in 100 words of fic in total. But to spice it up a bit we're going to have some variations and themes: Relationship themes, Life themes and Random themes

You don't have to do all the themes and you can even pick and mix from them if it works better for you, but you do have to do 10 different themes per entry. (You can use a theme twice in one entry if it's a continuation and you still have 9 different themes to go with it (i.e. Angst I, Angst II (continued), Fluff, Angst III, Fluff II, H/C etc) but you MUST have 10 different themes in each entry or you'll lose points!)

RELATIONSHIP THEME

Promises Challenge Touch Endearments Blood Family Flirting Hatred Parting Mistake

Infatuation Trust Cherish Passion Friendship Bond Teasing Bullying Marriage Betrayal

LIFE THEME

Fleeting Moment Time Hunger Content Anxiety Dream Death Conflict Security Victory

Eternity Pleasure Confusion Pain Wish Fate Birth Defect Independence Loss

RANDOM THEME

Cactuar Tears Happiness Fear Map Equipment Save Point Tonberry Flan Clothing Pole Misery Angst Fluff Voice Food Technology Legend Justice Theft Punishment Airship Gamble Identity Education Memory Expression Match Wrong

Submarine Desire Anger Gratitude History Medicine Battle Chocobo Moogle Health Purchase Heart/Comfort PWP Table Acting Drink Nature Hearsay Truth Crime Home Wealth Status Rank Belief Song Right Beginning The End

When you've got 10 done, just post them in the comments and it will count as one entry! (You can submit up to 5 entries for points) Your entry doesn't have to consistently follow one particular character/couple/game if you don't want to go down that route (though if you feel like setting yourself the challenge then please go ahead) so please go with whatever you feel comfortable to write about.

Please note the title/game your entry is based on (along with the characters/pairings) in your subject line. :)



POINTS:
It's 10 point for each entry (so 1 point for each theme) and you can earn a total of 50 points by submitting 5 entries! (Feel free to submit as many entries as you want but only the first 5 will be counted)


DEADLINE:
FRIDAY 26TH JULY 11:59PM EDT (4:59AM BST)


Good luck everyone and have fun!

QUESTIONS, PROBLEMS, TROUBLESHOOTING

Something up? Here's where to direct it!

Heresay should probably be Hearsay, I think? Also, I'm not too sure what PWP refers to ^^;

Re: QUESTIONS, PROBLEMS, TROUBLESHOOTING

[kuro_pantsu]

Noted. (The one positive thing about being a dyslexic is that I get to walk into a lot of bras.)

PWP generally means 'plot, what plot?' or 'porn without plot' and is typically used as a label for smut fics. Basically nothing important is supposed to happen other than smex but that itself can technically make for some form of plot. (I've been following BL for long enough to know how surprisingly true that can be.)

Here would be some examples of how to use it in this game:

"Okay then", Kefka spread his legs. "Come at me, boyo!"

Kazusa licked his lips first. He wanted to savor Kurasame.

As Sephiroth pulled out, Reno shrugged. "Eh, I've had better..."

Tidus filled Exdeath's void. He durr hurr hurred til dawn.

.......And now I kind of want to do a whole load of crack PWPs just cause.

...I think I get it now, thanks Toffee! (Save for this -- what PWP? There is clearly so much underlying plot to be had from this, especially in that last example!)

Re: QUESTIONS, PROBLEMS, TROUBLESHOOTING

[kuro_pantsu]

(Like I said, it's surprising how much plot PWP is capable of! And for some reason my brain is telling me that Bartz attempting to get into Sephiroth's pants would be a much needed example... probably because my brain is a troll and wants that to literally take that as Bartz thinking those pants would go perfectly with his red dancer shirt...)

Gonna give this a shot and just go with a different scenario for each one this time.

- - -

Standing in that field, Rinoa's safe; her knight is here. (Promises)

Make no mistake, Masamune will cut down those treacherous fools. (Blood)

Protecting his brother is his driving force. Sabin trains relentlessly. (Family)

Broken bones, bruised ego. Seifer paid, pushing Zell too far. (Bullying)

No matter how far Cloud falls, they always catch him. (Trust)

Princess or not, Zidane wasn't sorry for touching her butt. (Flirting)

Dueling Beatrix is the greatest honor, though she always wins. (Challenge)

Last of their kinds, Nanaki and Aerith's spirits are kin. (Bond)

It's for her own good. Relm deserves a better father. (Parting)

For abandoning them, his father's blood gladly stains Seymour's hands. (Betrayal)
