It's RARE PAIRS month here!
*insert scrolling dance of joy here*
One of the things that I think worked so well last year for this challenge was people chiming in with suggestions/prompts. I think we are conditioned to think in our preset fav pairing in a fandom. It's possible that the pairing you love is rare, but personally, I'm a bandwagon kinda gal, until someone says something to me like Bucky/(Kate Bishop)Hawkeye I'm not going to be able to see the beauty that it could be.
So, anything goes. Leave a suggestion of a rare pair from a fandom or seven, leave a suggestion of a scenario, leave a prompt, leave an image.
The challenges can be met with written words (min of 1,000) or graphic words (min 5 icons). OR in the spirit of rare pairs, you could work together with someone you've never worked with and give us something twice as nice!
As always, hit us with any questions!

Date: 2015-01-02 04:04 am (UTC)Do Rare pairs include threesomes?
If two shows/movies are in the same universe, but never appear on screen together (say Xander from BTVS and Lorne from Angel) would they be a rare pair or a crossover?
Sorry, my brain works in mysterious way.

Date: 2015-01-02 04:17 am (UTC)That specific example, I'd say good on. While it would technically qualify for both, I'm making the judgement call that same universe will fit the challenge.
If this doesn't make sense, blame it in the nyquil.

Date: 2015-01-22 08:36 pm (UTC)I'm blaming it purely on Jesse L Martin and the lack of fic about his character.
Of course, that is because the fan girls all writing for the Flash are probably young enough to be his daughter and I am not, but whatever....
