svmadelyn is running the annual Kink/Cliche Multi-Fandom challenge, and you should ALL take yourselves over there and sign-up. You've got like six weeks to write a story in any fandom, for the pairing of your choice. You choose three possible prompts from the fandom kink and cliche lists (and there is something for everyone), and Madelyn picks one of your three for you to write.

My prompt is "breathplay" and I am currently entertaining bribery suggestions for the pairing(s) that you guys would like to see (SGA, HP, Heroes, SPN are current interests, but you guys know the drill.... I'll read/write almost anything, and if in doubt, check my tags for the fandoms... pairings are always up for grabs).

So what are you waiting for?

Cuff ‘Em, Vamp ‘Em, or Just Make ‘Em Come Already Kink and Cliché Multi-Fandom Challenge

Beacuase I don't have enough projects in the works... (*cackles insanely*), I am thinking of making a vid. Actually, I have been thinking on it for about 6 months, and now I want to do it.

However, I am looking for suggestions. I have a few ideas of course, but what would make your day to see it in a video? Source? pairing? song? special effect/device?

I am new to doing this on computer, but about 15-20 years ago, I helped run my high school and college closed circuit television stations and helped teach radio/tv classes. So, it's not my first time making music vids, just don't have to do it with VHS tapes and an editing deck anymore :D

I know danamulder wanted a Doctor Who vid to a particular song. Anyone else?

Feel free to include examples.

Just a random thought. Do you ever wonder that the reason we like slash so much is that it's got nothing to do with us? I mean we may relate to the characters, and love getting inside their heads, and seeing these perfect (or not so perfect)relationships coming to fruition (no pun intended), but there is less chance of self-identification. The porn is hot in a more voyueristic sense, but there are other bits coming together that aren't - well - ours.

We may identify with Rodney McKay or with Blair Sandburg, or whoever, but it's not quite the same as how a lot of fangirls identify with Hermione Granger or Willow Rosenberg. Or is that a flawed assumption?

I like NC-17/R/Adults Only rated stories, but sometimes, I just skim over that part for the plot/relationshp/other stuff. I like some hurt/comfort, stories with twists and such, things that show the relationship developing.

So maybe it's not the sex thing - is it because their are a marginalized/minority group in society, and that we relate, or want to relate to that? I don't know. I can sometimes become irritated when it seems like everyone in a particular universe is gay and seems mostly paired off, like het has become a bad word... I want some sort of balance, amybe an idealization where there is het, and slash (or femslash) and it's all good. i don't mind coming out stories, or stories where they have to struggle with prejudices and such, but I do want them to overcome those struggles...

*shrugs* I'm queer-identified (bisexual, kinky, polyamorous, etc. and have had relationships with women as well as men), but I don't know how much that influences my preferences in fanfic, since I know a lot of straight girls in fandom with the same reading lists.

This is all very rambling, but I don't know, just something I was thinking about.

I don't watch soap operas. I did when I was growing up, though. Well, my step-mother did, and so did my grandmother. In fact, she still does watch her "stories" and probably has for as long as they have been airing.
