rarepair_shortsHello everyone, hope you're all doing well. :)
We have many exciting things we'd like to do this summer in terms of events, but first we'd just like to gauge your interest on some things we have in mind.
If you could take a moment to consider these options and leave feedback on this post, we'd really love you for that. :D
1. A picture is worth a thousand words.
A fic exchange using pictures as prompts - and you must write 1000 words, plus or minus AT MOST 50 words. (So no less than 950, no more than 1050).
2. Remix Exchange.
A fic exchange where you select one fic from a given set of stories to completely rewrite in your own style.
3. Tagging.
Interested participants would sign up, and each would be assigned a number. All the participants would contribute to one giant story, one line at a time. Each participant would get roughly three turns.
4. Numbers Game.
Us mods would make two secret lists - one of male characters and one of female characters. Then, participants would sign up, pick two numbers between 1 and 10, and specify whether they would like to receive slash, het, or femmeslash. From there, it works like a regular fic exchange - we would hand out the assignments, specifying what pairing the numbers resulted in. ETA: Look here if you're confused. (It explains that there would be an easy and a hard list - plus three pairings to choose from. So odds are you'll get at least one pairing that's not horribly squicky/un-doable.)
5. Classic Fic Exchange.
Just to keep things simple. :)
ETA:
6. OT3 Challenge.
Fic exchange using rare OT3s instead of rare OTPs.
And don't forget to participate in our challenges!

3. Could be fun if it was given some structure. Like a given set of characters to use and an ultimate goal to accomplish by the end of the fic. That way we have some prompt to get to the end and stick with it, and a common goal we need to accomplish as a group. Does that make sense?
4. This would be SO much fun, but like everyone else has said, there's always the chance I'll end up with two people I can't write. Which would be sort of fun because then I'd have to force myself to write them, probably badly, and get some kicks out of it. So as long as people don't take this too seriously and expect to be writing amazing, novelty fics with such stakes, then it would be a BLAST.
5. Sure, always fun. :] Everybody loves fic exchanges!
6. Hell yeah. 8D
Erm. I'm going to be gone 1/3rd of the summer so you probably shouldn't put much stock into my opinion. But the ones I will be around for I will most definitely participate in.
