Multiverse 2009: Fandom List

[andraste]

Before anyone passes out from shock: no, I didn't plan on there being another one *g*. However, last week I lost my job and today is my last day at work. While the economic crisis sucks, one of the benefits of abrupt unemployment is that I suddenly have a lot of free time.

In any case, the format of the Multiverse challenge will be changing this year so that I will have a lot less to do. This will be better for everyone, as I've been a pretty terrible mod the last couple of years.

What we're doing is moving to a format like springkink and lgbtfest. Anyone who's interested can suggest as many space show crossover prompts as they want. Writers then claim one or more prompts and post them to the community on a particular day. (The day will be in June.)

This means a number of things:

1) You can make requests even if you're not a writer or have no interest in signing up for crazy space show crossover duty.

2) Writers get to choose their own prompts. This means a broader range of fandoms will be available and requests can be much more specific, since there will be no assignment matching.

3) Any given contributor may or may not have their suggested prompt(s) selected by a writer. The writer can do anything they want with the idea - you don't get to determine the rating or the type of story produced.

Although most ficathons of this type don't restrict themselves to particular fandoms, I'll still be providing a list for you to choose from when you write your crossover requests. The reason is to keep the ficathon focused and cut down on the ammount of prompt filtering I have to do. (Without a list of allowed fandoms, someone is bound to request crossovers between canons I've never heard of, and I'd rather not spend the entire suggestion period running around trying to establish if any given show/book/anime is set in space or not.)

However, it will be a BIG list. All you have to do to get your obscure source included is to ask me to include it now - I'll doublecheck it's thematic eligibility and then you can request away. I don't care if nobody has ever written fic about it before, now is your chance to request that Ulysses 31 crossover.

As you can see, I'm focusing on the original remit of the ficathon here: sources that are set in space, at least partially. I've made an exception for Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures since they're the earthbound offspring of a galaxy-roaming parent show.

I've included the Marvel and DC comic book universes because they have significant space elements, but I'll be weeding out prompts that don't fit with the general theme. This is not the ficathon to suggest a story where Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark meet at a swanky party *g*.
