THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED.


Having 100 members is pretty epic, don't you think? We think so too. ;) That's why we're celebrating with this one-time only challenge. All of you invested in your claims, in the ficathon, in whatever - just stop for a moment and celebrate with us!


We now present to you: The 100 Words of Crack Challenge! :DD

Your task is to write exactly 100 words of crack. It must feature a rare pairing (whichever one you fancy) - but bonus points to you if you use Gilderoy Lockhart.

Please be sure to headline your submission(s) as follows:
CHALLENGE #5 - Title of fic (Pairing).
Use the ".challenge #5" tag in addition to your usual three tags.

Deadline is June 27. So, to quote Gandalf: "Fly, you fools!"

Okay, the question is so weird I'm not even sure how to ask it. Fast is the best way to go, I guess. So...

What kind of pairing do you accept for this crack!drabble challenge? Cause I kind of have a Riddle's diary/Prince's Potion book written and a translation into English away from you.

*hides*

By all means, go ahead! The whole idea is to have fun - and that would make some pretty classic crack right there. :D

What is crack, in terms of writing?

Here's a good definition from The Fanfiction Glossary (http://www.subreality.com/glossary/terms.htm):

"crackfic - A fanfic whose concept is so out there, one wonders what the author was snorting when they wrote. Sometimes deliberate, sometimes just 'WTF?'"

Usually it can be a relatively normal story with one added element of 'WTF' - for example, the characters could be looking for magical dust bunnies or something. The dust bunny bit is what makes it crack.

O.O Now this I think I can manage. *snickers* We can use any pairing, yes?

Ohh, I have lots of cracky!Greg/Tracey plot bunnies running around in my head. I'll see if I can manage to wrangle one. ;)
