Submission post for 2008 Apocalyptothon
NOTE TO PARTICIPANTS: Read this entire post carefully from beginning to end. Yes, even you, that one who's been in this ficathon since the first time I did it. We're doing things a little differently this year to make sure that everyone gets a story on the due date.

Also, I combined Doctor Who and Torchwood to make room for more fandoms, and I took the top three in the poll since it was so damn close and because if the last two years were any indication we should have enough people to handle it. ;)

ONWARD!

***

The list of fandoms for the Post-Apocalyptic Multifandom Ficathon this year includes all fandoms with eight or more votes and several with seven. For the record, some of you people are on crack. \o/

14. Eureka

39. The West Wing
40. The X-Files
41. X-Men (any 'verse; feel free to specify)

Your submission should consist of the following:

-- Between three and five requests in a minimum of three different fandoms:
....... Only two of these requests may be crossovers. Any fandom on the list may be crossed over, but no more than two can be crossed over at once.
....... You may specify how you'd like the world to end -- nuclear war, asteroid strike, worldwide epidemic, etc.
....... Please feel free to include what you would like or not like in the story you receive (for example, if you'd prefer comedy over drama or whether you'd just like one big angstfest). However, please don't go TOO into detail. Be as general as possible for the sake of your poor world-destroying writer.

-- A list of fandoms you are willing to write. You must list at least five of the above that you can at least try, but please pick as many as you possibly can. If you can do that, then I'll try to hook you up with at least two fandoms you can write in the request you receive.

Also, please make sure to include any limitations to any fandoms you’re willing to write. If you can write Buffyverse but your knowledge of Angel only extends to season two or you say you can write CSI but don’t specify that you only mean the Las Vegas version, you may get an unpleasant shock when your assignment shows up in your email.

-- A short list of things you will NOT write in those fandoms. For obvious reasons, post-apocalyptic destruction, violence and character death may not be on those lists. Also, feel free to include the rating you're willing to write to -- if you don't want to write sex but somebody else wants a big smutfest, it'll be nice for me to know. :)

Please post in the following format:

Fandoms you will write:
Things you will not write:
Can you pinch-hit in case someone drops out?:
If so, which fandoms can you pinch-hit for?:

The rules for assignments include:

1. You only have to write one of the requests you receive; however, if you wish to write anymore, knock yourself out.

2. Your story must be over 1000 words long. No maximum word count as long as you finish by the due date.

3. Your story must be set before, during, or after the apocalypse. The apocalypse can be naturally occurring (the ice caps melting, an asteroid striking the planet, the Yellowstone caldera exploding), manmade (nuclear war, biological warfare), mystical (whatever that might entail in your particular universe), or whatever works within the confines of the request. Any other plot details are fair game.

4. Don't tell anyone but your beta or betas which assignment you've gotten, especially the person whose assignment you've received. If you really need to ask your recipient a question, anonymous comments to their request in this thread are allowed.

5. First drafts of all assignments should be emailed to me at trollprincess AT livejournal DOT com by midnight on August 1, 2008. I will NOT be the one posting your story – this is simply for me to ensure that there will be a story available for your recipient. If I do not receive a story from you by midnight on August 1, 2008, your assignment will be offered to a pinch hitter. I will not contact you to ask you where your story is and this is NOT an excuse for you not to contact me if you cannot get your story done. Not finishing your assignment and not contacting me before the deadline means you don't get to play with the shiny nuclear weapons next year.

If you are unable to finish your assignment by August 1 but think that you may be able to get it done by August 15, great! I'll give the assignment to a pinch hitter as well and maybe your recipient will get two stories. :)

But as God is my witness, everybody's getting a story this year. Even if I have to go to your house and smack you with a salami to get you to do it.

6. Stories with be posted BY YOU on August 15, 2008. The subject line of your post should include:

Title, for Recipient (Fandom, Rating)

The header for your story should include the following:

Title:
Author:
Recipient:
Fandom:
Rating:
Spoilers (if applicable):
Warnings (if applicable):
Summary:

7. Get your story beta-read before posting. It’s your funeral if you don’t, pal.

Also, if you never finished your assigned story last year and never bothered to tell me or contact me about it, please save me the time and effort of being Her Royal Highness, Princess Bitch Mod, and don't bother signing up. (Actually, okay, that was a little bitchy.)

Submissions are due by May 1st. Go forth and pimp, y’all. :)

EDIT: And this post is now CLOSED. No other submissions will be accepted as of this edit. Thanks, you guys! :)

	Question scary_being_me 2008-04-17 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	Might it be helpful if people specify a rating in their requests? Like if someone doesn't want explicit sex they could put "R or less" or if they want a smutfest, they could put "NC-17 or more"? The same might be helpful when people are listing what they will write. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Livejournal user name: wal_lace. E-mail: wal_lace at hotmail dot com. Request 1 - fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean. Details: Elizabeth Swann, with maybe some Barbosa on the side. Most of the land is lost, somehow (zombies, plague, rising sea levels, whatever), but there's safety on the water. For now. Request 2 - fandom: X-Men. Details: Zombies. That's all - zombies. Details? Well, I like Cyclops, Beast, Jubilee, Phoenix, Psylocke and Iceman. Any of those you want to use will be considered bonuses, but mostly - zombies. And maybe a shopping mall. Request 3 - fandom: Doctor Who/Torchwood, crossover with Terminator/The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Details: The 21st century is when everything changes the Machines take over. Luckily, Torchwood is ready. So are the Connors. Bonus points for having Martha attempt a medical examination of Cameron. Request 4 - fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel. Details: The virus gets out. Faith and Giles survive. Not many other humans do. Something nice and grim, please. Request 5 - fandom: Firefly/Serenity.

Fandoms you will write: Buffy/Angel (including Season Eight), DC universe (Bat-family), Dead Like Me, Firefly/Serenity, Terminator/Sarah Connor Chronicles, X-Men (haven't seen the third movie, but I'm spoilered; major comic geek). One time I wrote Harry Potter, but I haven't bothered to read book seven yet so while I could do this in an emergency it probably wouldn't work. Things you will not write: Serious romance, graphic sex, Jason Todd (I just don't care), Gambit. Can you pinch-hit in case someone drops out?: Only if it's fairly easy - see below. If so, which fandoms can you pinch-hit for?: X-Men and anything by Joss Whedon that doesn't focus on River, Willow or Gunn (they don't come easy). Edited at 2008-04-17 10:21 pm UTC (Reply to this)

I'm not the only FBI agent with a team of geniuses. That's cool." Request 2 - fandom: Chuck Details: Team Chuck tries --and fails-- to stop the manmade apocalypse. The aftermath, and how they deal with it. Request 3 - fandom: Roswell Details: I don't even care as long as there is more of a focus on Michael/Maria than on Max/Liz, and Kyle gets to be the hero. Request 4 - fandom: Firefly Details: Pretend the BDM never happened. Wash and Book are still alive, bonus points for a cameo by Badger. Request 5 - fandom: CSI (Vegas) Details: The panic in the streets reminds him of an ant's nest when somebody kicks it. Grissom-musings while the world ends!

Request 3 - fandom: SG-1/SGA Details: Sam and Rodney work to stop the end of the universe and fail.

Only the boys, but no Wincest. Request 3 - fandom: Stargate:SG-1 Details: The Ori invade Earth (civilization as we know it will not survive that intact).

Livejournal user name: soda_and_capes E-mail: vimesy at gmail dot com Request 1 - X-Men (comicsverse preferred to movieverse, but I'm not really picky) Details: Logan, Jean, and Scott are the last people on earth, dealing with each other and being angsty. Feel free to ship any combination. Request 2 - Buffy Details: Post-apocalyptic Faith, Angel, and Buffy would be amazing, especially if it were gen. Request 3 - Harry Potter Details: Young Dumbledore and Grindewald brought about the apocalypse somehow. Slash preferred, but gen is fine too. Request 4 - Heroes Details: I’d love to see something where the current good guys deal with with end of the world by becoming disillusioned and kind of evil, and some of the current bad guys deal with it by becoming kind of accidentally good.

Request 3 - fandom: Stargate: SG1 and/or Stargate: Atlantis Details: Choice of apocalypse is up to you. Somehow incorporate an annoying time loop. I'm fond of all the characters, but in particular Jack O'Neill, General Hammond, Vala, Walter, Rodney McKay, Elizabeth Weir, and Todd the Wraith (use all or some if you can, but they're not required. I'll happily read stories with any characters in this 'verse). Request 4 - fandom: Buffy and Angel Details: El Diablo Robotico. A completely AU story set in 1950s Los Angeles, where grumpy, antisocial Angel teams up with Los Hermanos Numeros (and maybe a Slayer), to fight The Devil's Robot. Request 5 - fandom: Bones Details: A festive mummy-unwrapping party causes the apocalypse. Note: the mummy may be of any type or origin. That is, it does not have to be Ancient Egyptian, nor must it have been purposely mummified. (Accidental peat-bog mummies and so on are perfectly fine.) Fandoms you will write: Buffy and Angel, MythBusters, Veronica Mars, Supernatural, Psych, Stargate: SG1 and/or Stargate:Atlantis Things you will not write: Wincest, non-con, RPF, mpreg, LoVe (I'm very much a gen-ficcer.)

Request 3 - fandom: Firefly/Serenity Details: Intergalactic zombie epidemic!

Request 5 - fandom: Torchwood Details: Time travel a plus, especially if it involves the cracky lesbian Victorian-era Torchwood. Jack/Ianto a definite plus. Fandoms you will write: Buffy; Doctor Who (9/10 only) or Torchwood; Firefly/Serenity; Harry Potter (book or movie); Pirates of the Caribbean; Stargate (preference to early Stargate, no Atlantis); Supernatural Things you will not write: Horribly explicit NC-17 sex scenes (sex is fine, I'm just not good with pr0n), literal necrophilia (zombies or vampires is a different story, so to speak) Can you pinch-hit in case someone drops out?: Yup. If so, which fandoms can you pinch-hit for?: Same as I can write for. Especially SPN, but I don't think there will be a lack of pinch-hits available for that... (Reply to this)

gryvon 2008-04-18 12:07 am UTC (link)

Livejournal user name: gryvon E-mail: gryvon@gmail.com Request 1 - fandom: Psych Details: Gen or Lassiter/Shawn slash with a faint side of Gus/Jules. Shawn turning into an actual psychic would be amazing beyond words, but I'd rather not see everyone develop metal powers. (Other powers, limited spread, might be interesting.) Request 2 - fandom: Buffy Details: Gen or Spike/Xander slash. Anything's fine, humor is a plus, and humanity not being completely screwed is also good. I'd prefer a magical or demon-caused apocalypse, but really anything goes. Request 3 - fandom: NCIS Details: Gen or Gibbs/DiNozzo slash. Again, anything's fine, but I'd prefer not to read about everyone waking up with magical powers - the last fic I read like that left a bad taste in my mouth. For this fandom, something dealing with the team's survival skills would be interesting or how the government handles the apocalypse. Request 4 - fandom: Harry Potter Details: Gen or anyone-not-Ron/Harry slash. Whatever strikes your fancy, possibly dealing without magic or dealing with too much of it or cleaning up after the muggles wreck things. Request 5 - fandom: Numb3rs Details: Gen or anyone-not-Don/Charlie slash. Anything. Really. Fandoms you will write: Buffy/Angel (not familiar with Angel past season two or Buffy past season five, slash if Xander's involved or gen), CSI (Las Vegas, slash if Greg's involved or gen), The Daily Show/The Colbert Report, Dexter (gen), Good Omens, Harry Potter (slash if Harry's involved or gen), House M.D., How I Met Your Mother, NCIS (Gibbs/DiNozzo slash or gen), Numb3rs (slash if Charlie's involved or gen), Pirates of the Carribean (Jack/Will slash or gen), Psych (Lassiter/Shawn slash or gen) I'm fine with every level of content, from G to XXX and beyond.

Livejournal user name: Daffybroad E-mail: megan.blink@gmail.com Request 1 - fandom: Torchwood Details: Pre-Exit Wounds’ AU. A viral epidemic causes permanent comas in 87% of Earth’s population, including Jack. The living/conscious members of the Torchwood team enter into a routine of waiting for Jack to succumb, killing him and having him come back to life. After months of simply shooting him in the head, they are starting to get creative… Dark comedy. Request 2 - fandom: Mythbusters Details: Some sort of alien invasion or other “apocalyptic army” story. The crew of Mythbusters find that, despite the chiding words of their high-school guidance counselors, learning to build projectile weapons from anything and everything was actually a really useful skill to cultivate. Request 3 - fandom: Bones/Criminal Minds Details: “There is no scientific precedent for the apocalypse!” “Well, obviously.” The remaining survivors in the DC area are gathered at the Jeffersonian. Must involve: Reid, Bones, Zach; anyone else from either cast is optional and welcome. Angst and rampant character death. Request 4 - fandom: The Daily Show/The Colbert Report Details: In the months following the blast, the government conscripts Stewart and Colbert (the last trusted news reporters in America) to be the voice of Washington over the national emergency radio network, giving new meaning to “reporting the fake news”. Request 5 - fandom: The Office Details: Zombies!!!!!!!! Fandoms you will write: Bones, Buffy/Angel (TV continuity only), Chuck, Criminal Minds, CSI Vegas, (my knowledge of the Who-niverse begins and ends with) Torchwood, Firefly/Serenity, Harry Potter (book or movie), Heroes, House M.D., NCIS, Numb3rs, The Office (US), Supernatural, Veronica Mars Things you will not write: Coprophilia or urophilia, Mpreg… that’s pretty much it, off the top of my head. Can you pinch-hit in case someone drops out?: Yes, but to a maximum of two new requests. If so, which fandoms can you pinch-hit for?: All of the above. (Reply to this)

Request 2 - fandom: House, M.D./Torchwood Details: Chase, Cameron and Foreman are fighting a plague that only seems to target those over thirty when Jack Harkness arrives. The plague turns out to have been started by aliens aiming to turn Earth into their own colony. Request 3 - fandom: House, M.D. Details: I'd like a Chase and Wilson centric take on the good old plague of DOOM plotline. (They don't have to be a pairing, although that would certainly be welcomed as well.) Request 4 - fandom: Torchwood Details: They're the only ones left. If possible, I'd love to see some Jack/Ianto and some Gwen/Tosh. Request 5 - fandom: The West Wing Details: Josh Lyman had always imagined that the end of the world would be more exciting than this. Bonus points for including Josh/Sam. Fandoms you will write: Doctor Who, Heroes, House, Torchwood Things you will not write: Non-con, explicit slash, explicit het, mpreg. Can you pinch-hit in case someone drops out?: Sure. If so, which fandoms can you pinch-hit for?: The ones listed above. Edited at 2008-04-18 01:08 am UTC (Reply to this)

Request 4 - fandom: The o.C. Details: Set in either Season One or Season Two. Request 5 - fandom: The Office (US) Details: Comedy ...

I can attempt NC-17, but it'll probably be more like R. No Torchwood season two. No CSI (Crazy Space Incest), or Wincest. Otherwise, anything goes! Can you pinch-hit in case someone drops out?: For sure - although I'd prefer a pinch hit that would come before August 9th-ish, or after August 15th (due to weddings) If so, which fandoms can you pinch-hit for?: All the fandoms I've said I'll write in, although for pinch hits will only write Four, Nine or Ten for Doctor Who.

I would love for Ducky and Abby to be the main characters. Preferably gen, but Ducky/Gibbs, McGee/DiNozzo, or McGee/Abby sounds great. Fandoms you will write: How I Met Your Mother, The Office US, CSI: Las Vegas, Pushing Daisies, Stargate: Atlantis, Psych, Supernatural Things you will not write: Non-con, incest Can you pinch-hit in case someone drops out?: Probably not, sorry.

Now they make post-Apocalyptic survival gear for the discerning client. It's a living when most things aren't.

thecomingnight 2008-04-18 03:52 am UTC (link)

Livejournal user name: thecomingnight E-mail: nandoified at gmail dot com Request 1 - fandom: Veronica Mars/DC Comics (Robin) Details: Hoping to protect Tim from the insanity that is being "Robin", Jack Drake moves his son away from crime-ridden Gotham to a small town by the name of Neptune all the way on the west coast. But some sort of brewing evil is going down there, and nothing is quite as it seems in the town "without a middle class". Who knew there'd be Zombies? Request 2 - fandom: Buffy/Supernatural Details: The balance betwen good and evil is suddenly tipped with slayers running around all over the world. Everything seemed to be going well. Until Angel and crew screwed everything up and Wolfram & Hart got pissed off. With Angel and friends, along with all of L.A. sucked into hell the world's out two champions and a major metropolitan area and the openning of devil's gate, and the world suddenly filled with more demons than before, an army even, Buffy and the boys need to work together. Especially when Buffy finds out that slayers are being "de-chosen" and someone named "Lillith" seems to be leading the pack. Request 3 - fandom: Smallville. Details: Clark Kent. Zombies. Magic. Good times?

Livejournal user name: missmara E-mail: missywyo AT hotmail DOT com Request 1 - fandom: The OC Details: Apocalypse has come and gone, Ryan Atwood has survived. Preferably alone to start, although I'm totally fine with him finding other survivors by the end. Request 2 - fandom: Stargate: Atlantis Details: There was no way for Sheppard to get back from the future he visited in 'The Last Man'. He can either die (city collapses, starvation, radiation, whatever...) or he can live with the knowledge that he is completely alone, except for Holo!Rodney, either is fine with me. Bonus points if at some point Holo!Rodney malfunctions and 'dies', causing Sheppard to frantically try to fix him and get him back. Request 3 - fandom: Supernatural Details: Sam has gone evil, turned the world into hell, and Dean is fighting to stop him and keep people safe. I don't want Sam to be possessed or to have gone evil for a 'good reason'. I just want Evil!Sam and Heartbroken!Dean having to fight against him, with the knowledge he will probably have to kill his brother. I would love it if Dean is leading a group of fighters, and it's post-Dean goes to hell, but not required. Bonus points if you cross it over with one of the following: Sarah Connor Chronicles, Buffy (especially if Faith appears!), or Torchwood, but that's not anywhere near required. Request 4 - fandom: Sarah Connor Chronicles Details: A new ice age descends on the world. Terminators are still out there, but they're kind of confused and the extreme cold is wrecking havok on their systems. Humor and/or angst would be great. Bonus points if you can get both in! Request 5 - fandom: Firefly/Serenity Details: "They want your brain," River said to Jayne, nodding seriously. "But not as much as they want mine, 'cause mine's bigger." You don't have to use the line, just take it as inspiration... or something... I want Zombies, and I want it to have humor. Pretty please? lol Fandoms you will write: Torchwood (only, not Doctor Who), Eureka, Firefly/Serenity, Gilmore Girls, Heroes, Numb3rs, The OC, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, Terminator/Sarah Connor Chronicles, X-Men (Primarily movieverse, but I could give comicverse a try if you're desperate) Things you will not write: NC-17/smut (I'm a 'fade-to-black' kinda girl when it comes to writing sex... lol), mpreg, incest... Can you pinch-hit in case someone drops out?: Yes, but it's likely to be of lesser quality than my regular assignment... but I'll try my best! lol If so, which fandoms can you pinch-hit for?: Bones (only if you're desperate), Criminals Minds (only if you're desperate), Torchwood (only, not DW), Eureka, Firefly/Serenity, Gilmore Girls, Heroes, NCIS (only if you're desperate), Numb3rs, The OC, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, Sarah Connor Chronicles, X-Men (Primarily movieverse, but I could give comicverse a try if you're desperate) (Reply to this)
