Trope Fest 3: The Tropening: Prompts Post
Time Loops. Truth Serum. Tentacles. Fandom loves its tropes! But female characters don't always get enough of a look in for the wacky fun of bodyswap and high school AUs, and that's where this fest comes in.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a female character-centric fanwork that uses at least one fannish trope.
NEW THIS YEAR: after some consideration I've decided to open this up to gen and het f/m relationships as well as relationships between women, provided that the fanwork focuses on the female character, or is a roughly 50/50 split between characters. E.g., an Elementary fic in which Joan and Sherlock switch bodies, told from both POVs = okay, but fanart showing Sherlock stuck in a time loop while Joan looks on wouldn't qualify. I trust your judgement! We'll see how it goes this year.
Also this new year: this has always been allowed, but this year I would like to actively welcome tumblr-style graphics and gifs. Fanworks don't have to be posted to DW, just linked here.
Timeline:
Now: open for prompts
Friday May 3rd: prompts collated, open for fills
Fanworks do not have to be in response to a specific prompt or one of the tropes listed below, these are just to get you started. The term 'female character' should be understood to include all characters that canonically identify as or present as women or girls some or all of the time.
