Re: let's play: DNW WTF

[(Anonymous)]

Canon doesn't really have a casefic option, it's dystopian political shit and worldbuilding. Maybe I'll write a setting swap AU they didn't dnw that!

Did I mention they requested all four nommed characters, one of whom lives in a different universe and doesn't interact with the others?

I am going to be praying for a letter to suddenly appear and otherwise may be defaulting for the first time ever. I would happily write you things if you hadn't DNW'd them all!

They have requested "any" and not requested any ships.

Did I mention they requested all four nommed characters, one of whom lives in a different universe and doesn't interact with the others?

Wait, did they request "Any," or did they request four characters?

Oh no my attempt to slightly anonymize has come back and bit me in the ... butt.

They requested all four nommed characters but given the characters it's pretty clear they thought it meant "any". Either way it does not narrow down their ships.

NA. I'd ask for clarification--do they want all four characters? If they do, how do they want the "different universes" issue handled. Are they open to AUs and if so, which kinds?

If the letter already makes it clear that you don't have to write all four nominated chars, pick the universe you like best and the pairings you want. People with strong pairing preferences aren't shy about sharing them.

You say the canon is dystopian. I think that should influence your conceptions of what "darkfic" or "fluff" are. I wouldn't lean too heavily into the grittier aspects of the canon but I wouldn't write curtainfic, either. Maybe political enemies make common cause against a third party without going too vicious (and with a side of sex)??

Write something with the three characters in the same universe. Write a coda with the fourth one stumbling across a universe-crossing device or being part of an assigned team looking to invade, etc., etc., adjust for fandom. The character really only needs to touch the device and disappear in a flash of light. Boom, they're included.

A version of that may indeed be what I write, but it will be odao'ing everything that isn't required. Oh well, guess they should have written a fandom-specific prompt or two.

My suggestion, since the canon is dystopian political stuff: write the shippy dark fic with 2 of the 3 characters (or all 3!) in one universe in a relationship, but concentrate in the plot, which involves destroying the other universe.
