Snowflake Challenge: I Challenge Thee to a Duel!

[author_by_night]

In your own space, create your own challenge. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Is there a challenge you've seen in the past that's no longer being run, and you wish it was? Or maybe one you've heard about in some other fandom that would be perfect for yours? Is there a challenge you'd love to see, but can't seem to find? Now's your chance to fill that void. Do you wish there was more (fill in the blank) in fandom? This could be something specific to your favorite fandom, or something more all-encompassing. Have you always wanted to try something, but needed that extra push?





Hmm...

Well, I wish there were more "missing moment" fanfic. So that's my challenge. Write a scene you know must have, or at least could have have, taken place in canon. It can be shippy, it can be gen, anything you want.

Alternatively, you can write a slight AU based on a scene or event that did happen - giving it a twist.

Ooh, interesting. So many possibilities with that, from addressing plot holes to what we wished would have happened.

THIS! I accept your challenge! I hope you don't mind if mine is similar?

[author_by_night]

Not at all!

[spikedluv]

I love missing scene fic! I'm going to make a list of challenges I can accept, starting with this one.

[author_by_night]

Good luck! :)

[sunkelles]

oh this sounds so fun! i accept your challenge :)

[author_by_night]

Great! Feel free to share what you come up with. :)

[makamu]

Challenge accepted!

I have two ideas for putting twists on scenes - let's hope the inspiration holds long enough for me to finish one of them :)

[author_by_night]

Ooh, awesome. Hold onto the inspiration tight!

I *love* those kinds of fics!! Doctor Who fandom seems to get a lot of them. Not necessarily accepting this challenge, given the bunnies I'm already dealing with, but I do love this idea!

[author_by_night]

I can see Doctor Who fandom having a lot of those.

Missing moments are one of my favourite fanfic scenarios. I tentatively accept the challenge to write such a scene.

[author_by_night]

Good luck! I'd love to see what you come up with if you do. :)

[lightbird]

This is a cool idea for a challenge!

[author_by_night]

Thanks! A website I used to go to did these kind of challenges.

[deifire]

Love this idea! So many of my favorite fics to write and read meet these criteria

[catdetective]

This is a great challenge!

I love 'missing moment' fic. A lot of the series I'm working on now falls into that category, but it's fun to read, too. I've been in fandoms that were heavily focused on that kind of thing, but I haven't seen as much of it lately.

[author_by_night]

Yeah, I don't see much of it anymore either, which I think is a shame.

[catdetective]

I know some old TV fandoms really had a lot of those type of fics, I'm not sure why it's not as much a thing anymore. But then, I'm not really in any fandoms for current shows...

I love missing scene fic! It's my all time favourite.

My latest WIP is a "5 Times" missing scene for The Slipper and the Rose. Part 1 is done.

[malurette]

Great idea, I'll add it to my to-write-again list this year!
