[Banner ID: Two doors leading into a staircase. The door has writing in German on it, as well as white handprint and graffiti. Everything is very dirty and tinged green, giving it a feel of unease and danger. It’s hard to see what’s behind the door. /End ID]
IWTV/Vampire Chronicles AUvember
I spent hours searching for November fanfic events because I didn’t want to participate in any word-count goal ones, but I didn’t find anything I could imagine myself doing. Then I asked myself: What is something that would challenge me as a fanfic writer, what is something I’ve never really done before? Answer: Experimenting with Alternative/Alternate Universes! Aside from the usual Canon Divergence. I mean stuff like Coffeeshop AUs, High-School AUs, etc. For a long time, I didn’t even read them.
So, for November, I’m leaving my comfort zone and will attempt to create IWTV/Vampire Chronicles AU fanfics! (Of course, I'm doing it for this fandom because this particular hyperfixation has taken over my brain). I wonder how this will work out because I included prompts I don’t even read – part of the challenge for me will be to find something of interest in settings that would usually bore me. And maybe other people want to try that too? If you're interested in joining, read this: - I don’t have the energy to turn this into a moderated event, but if you want to participate, feel free to use the tag #vcAUvember, so we can check each other’s works more easily! - Interpret the prompts however you want – do one, do all, do a oneshot per prompt, or multichapter fics with combined prompts, drabbles, drawings, etc. This challenge is about experimenting with something new and/or unfamiliar. No rule says the characters can’t still be vampires in these AUs (aside from the last prompt), but if they are then it should still make some sense for that setting and vampirism shouldn’t be the centrepiece of the plot. I made this prompt list (some are maybe more tropes than AU’s, but I still called them that):
1. Runaway AU
2. Medieval AU
3. Roommates/Neighbours AU
4. Space AU
5. Retail AU (choose which one)
6. Hospital AU
7. Serial Killer AU
8. Parent/Family AU
9. Cyberpunk AU
10. First Responder AU
11. Dom/Sub and BDSM AU (18+!)
12. Stranded AU
13. Social Media/Chat/Text AU
14. “School etc.” AU – so College/University/High School/Boarding School, …
15. Time travel AU
16. Celebrity AU
17. Crime AU
18. (Post-) Apocalypse AU
19. Royalty AU
20. Lawyer/Prison AU
21. Summer Camp AU
22. Psychiatry Ward or Group Therapy AU
23. Pirate AU
24. Coffeeshop/Restaurant AU
25. Office AU
26. Babysitter AU
27. Victorian AU
28. Flight Attendants AU
29. Scientist AU
30. Non-Human/Non-Vampire AU It would be fun if people join me in this, but I’ll do this challenge either way, hoping I won’t just scream into the void, haha.
