Thanks for all the input yesterday!
Here are my tentative thoughts:
I'll host the fest on my journal, and it will be open to any fanworks centering relationships between female characters, whether femslash, gen, or somewhere in between. I'll put up a post with a big list of tropes, where people will also be welcome to leave additional trope prompts or prompts specific to particular fandoms/characters. That'll be open for a few days, and then the post will be open to responses. You can either make a fanwork and post it directly as a comment, whether to the post itself or to a specific prompt, kinkmeme style, or you can post something to your own DW/LJ/AO3/webspace/etc and leave a link.
I'm happy to tie it in with Three Weeks for Dreamwidth festivities, though not to the extent that people are restricted in only posting to DW for the duration. I figure that having a hub of fannish activity centred over here is generally in the spirit of things. For people who like deadlines, you can consider the end of that three-week period as such, but the challenge will be open indefinitely and I'll keep a rolling masterlist updated.
So the timeline would be:
Monday 18th: post open for prompts
Monday 25h: post open for responses (start of 3W4DW)
I'll have some general guidelines up with some definitions of some of the tropes and a suggested header to use include content information of some kind, whether it's 'choose not to provide content notes', 'no content notes apply' 'content notes: contains sex-pollen related dub-con' and so on.
If anyone has particular suggestions about ways to make this more open to vidders/artists etc, that would be great. Also, here is a list of cliches and tropes I've gathered so far, roughly categorised. Am I missing anything major? Could things be phrased better to include non-fic fanworks, poly relationships, etc?
( trope-tastic )
And finally, if anyone has an idea for a catchier name than 'female character fandom trope fanwork fest', I am all ears. Thanks, folks!
