Genremixer Meme

[thisbluespirit]

Okay, so I made up a meme, one where everyone else gets to do the work! (I'm not doing so well at doing writing memes lately, and I miss them! So... lazy magic solution, or possibly a post I will just have to sweep under the carpet and pretend I never made. Time will tell. It always does.)


1. Give me a list of two or more characters (same fandom, multiple fandoms, whatever, it's up to you, doesn't have to be a shared fandom, just whoever you want to write).

2. I'll use them to generate you 3 prompts from the Genremixer!

3. Go write tropey flashfic from any or all of them & link back here.

All profit with ficlets and drabbles! Or at the very least, amusing prompts to contemplate. \o/

(Feel free to specify any settings - no. of chars/tropes per prompt, or which set of prompts, or whether or not to include NSFW. If you're feeling brave and we know each other well enough, I'll make the list myself, too, if you want.* ;-p)


Stealing the meme itself entirely encouraged obv. (A meme you can play even if you don't write!)


* Select this option at your own peril.

Yay, get everyone else to do the work:D

I failed and put in AAL to amuse myself and because I need to finish off all my WIPs of Doom:S

[thisbluespirit]

I could give you a prompt and you could use it for art? :-D

Also amusing yourself with prompt generators is never a fail, anyway. ♥

(Nobody else wants to do any work, either. Fair, I suppose!!)

[liadt]

It's the dreaded lurg everyone is too bunged up to write, I have been this week *achoo!*

Henry VI & Richard III prompts are always good:D

[ride_4ever]

I can't take on another writing assignment just now, but still want to say thanks for sharing this cool thing.

[thisbluespirit]

Well, it's just a meme, for fun! Hardly an assignment! But thanks. :-D

[ride_4ever]

Heh, I use the phrase "writing assignment" extremely loosely...often just means I've assigned to myself A Thing To Write.

Again, thanks for sharing the fun.

Hamlet
Horatio
Laertes
Ophelia
Mako Trig
AuDy
Orth Godlove
Utena
Anthy
Macbeth
Lady Macbeth
Macduff
Malcolm
Olivia
Orsino
Viola

no more than three characters per prompt, no NSFW, but other than that I think any of these characters could work with any other character in some really interesting ways!

[thisbluespirit]

Cool, here goes:

Orsino / Laertes - Pets/Animals & forced to face fear
Viola / Hamlet - doppelganger & stranded/survival scenario
Utena / Macduff / Anthy - Stars/Outer Space & Money

[a_phoenixdragon]

OMG, I love this...though I dunno if I should do it, as the first characters that popped into my head, only one is known (and maybe no one follows the fandom) and the other is a complete unknown...oi.

But I love this idea!! Whoot!

[thisbluespirit]

Do It! :lol: It's just a meme, no fandom knowledge is required to generate a prompt and if nothing results than you totally have my permission to bury it and we shall both NEVER SPEAK OF IT AGAIN. ♥

;-)

[auroracloud]

Ooh, I'd love to write some tropey flashfic. Gimme Zoe Heriot and Isobel Watkins.

If you don't mind doing it for another set of characters, I'd also love me some with Second Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon. (I was contemplating throwing all four into the same, but with my luck I'd end up with just Zoe/Two prompts or something, so I'm playing it safe.)

[thisbluespirit]

I shall give you two sets, I am feeling generous! (Okay, so generating prompts costs nothing, shhhh...) ;-p

Here goes:

Zoe Heriot / Isobel Watkins - meeting alternate-universe counterparts & in public
Isobel Watkins / Zoe Heriot - orphans & theft
Isobel Watkins / Zoe Heriot - Meet Cute & unwanted transformation

Second Doctor / Jamie McCrimmon - Cooking & holiday
Second Doctor / Jamie McCrimmon - lost childhood & blood loss
Second Doctor / Jamie McCrimmon - in vino veritas/drunkfic & side effects

[theseatheseatheopensea]

Oh, this is brilliant! :D

Some random characters: Stephen Maturin (from the O'Brian A-M novels), The Master (Doctor Who), Silver (Sapphire & Steel), B'elanna Torres (ST: Voyager), Vinculus (JS&MN).

(And maybe 1 or 2 charcters per prompt? But no NSFW prompts, please and thank you!)

[thisbluespirit]

Here you are!

Silver / Vinculus - Grand romantic gesture & Sleeping together
Stephen Maturin / Silver - ostracised from society & Four seasons (one or all)
Stephen Maturin / Vinculus - mutation & Kiss

[john_amend_all]

I haven't tried to write the current Team TARDIS yet. Maybe I should try.

Thirteen, Graham, Yaz and Ryan please. And probably best for all our sakes not to have NSFW prompts.

[thisbluespirit]

Here you are - good luck!

Yasmin Khan / Thirteenth Doctor - Reunited & pre-canon
Ryan Sinclair / Graham O'Brien - Best friends forever & rockband au
Ryan Sinclair / Thirteenth Doctor - vigilante justice & Holidays

[astrogirl]

I have other things to write and probably not a great deal of time just now, but can I resist the lure of weird random prompts? I cannot!

Since my head is still in Good Omens space, gimme Aziraphale and Crowley, and any list of prompts you like. Heck, you can throw in the NSFW ones. And then maybe I'll do something with the results when I get a chance!

[thisbluespirit]

can I resist the lure of weird random prompts? I cannot!

Hurrah!

And here you go, yet more angels and demons to play with:

Aziraphale / Crowley - presumed dead & Meet Cute
Crowley / Aziraphale - mistaken identity & falsely imprisoned
Aziraphale / Crowley - Dessert/Sweets & amnesia

Have fun!

(ETA: That was including NSFW, btw, it just declined to cough up anything like that anyway.)

[fh14]

Ah, I shouldn't because I have so many projects to finish up this month... but I've been on a Classic Who fic kick for a hot minute...

I can't decide whether I wanna do Second Doctor Era (Second Doctor, Jamie McCrimmon, Polly Wright, Ben Jackson, Victoria Waterfield, Zoe Heriot) or Third Doctor Era (Third Doctor, The Brigadier, Liz Shaw, John Benton, Jo Grant, Mike Yates, The Master, Sarah Jane Smith) so I'll leave it up to dealer's choice?

[thisbluespirit]

Ha, cool! The thing that you need to know about me is that if you put it like that, I'll just stick them all in together and see what comes out. (We have a time machine, right?) :-D (If you want to be one era only, I'll re-generate something for you, though!)

The Brigadier / Zoe Heriot - telepathy/mindmeld & electricity
Victoria Waterfield / Jo Grant - vigilante justice & Movie/Video
Jo Grant / Third Doctor - locked in & Being helped

[elen_nare]

Why do you do this to me... Sure, let's see what comes out for Qillek & Lucius! Do as you please for the rest of the options :)

[thisbluespirit]

Here you go!

Lucius / Quillek - Wordless Communication & cages
Quillek / Lucius - lost weekend & whump
Quillek / Lucius - coffee shop au & homesickness
