RARE PAIR CHALLENGE!!!

So I'm late, but... IT'S RARE PAIR MONTH!!!

*dance of joy* *dance of joy* *dance of joy*

I do love the idea of rare pairs. It's one of my fav things! The problem I find is that some pairs occur to be by the way the writers write them in canon or the way they snark. But a lot of others just don't occur to me. I'm just conditioned that when I think Inception I think Arthur/Eames and Yusuf/Mal never crosses my mind. It happens with every fandom I play in. I just can't see beyond my nose until someone adjusts my glasses.

So let's chat for a bit about fandoms and rare pairs. Leave a suggestion of a rare pair from a fandom or seven, leave a suggestion of a scenario, leave a prompt, leave an image.

Also - This year let's not define rare pairs as what is rare to fandom, but what is rare for you. If you've always shipped Stiles/Allison take a stab at something different for you!

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!

Bieber fic or teeny boppers reading Bieber fic? Hah.

GOTCHA. And I bet that was a fun one.

I once wrote a fic where one of the ladies in the station was writing fic about two of the detectives. Hahaha.

It's one of my favorite things I've written, although it was rough keeping the internal fanfic separate from the actual fanfic, if that makes any sense.

Hahaha... I bet it's rampant in these kinds of fandoms. And I can totally see Kono being the one who wrote it all, too. Or Steve doing it behind Danny's back so he can torment Danny without Danny knowing it was him. Hah.

Yes - SPN's meta episodes are the best. "What's a slash fan?" and "Dude, they do know we're brothers, right?" will forever be burned into my brain. I read somewhere that SPN doesn't just break the fourth wall, they tear it down.

She'd have to be. Hiding it all behind that perfectly neutral face. :D

I KNOW!

I will finish the Steve/Adam WIP if it kills me, then give you Danny/Charlie!

*whimpers for Rodney/Jack*

How bout Daniel/Rodney? They could bond over their respective team leaders' assholery after The Pegasus Project.

Mmmm, rare pairs... I'm tempted to do a crossover rare pair for H50/SGA. Or some stargate Rodney/AnyoneWhoIsn'tAJerkToHimInCanon. It's good timing for me, since I'm feeling cynical towards both of my usual OTPs at the moment, but end up being dragged back into them just to have something with my boys in it to read.

Sorry Sam/Jack one of my few OTPs - but Daniel is fair game :)

This is exactly the kick in the butt I need to start working on a fic I've been thinking about these days.

Lorne/Rodney? Or Carson - I don't recall either of them being jerks to Rodney in canon

[identity profile] kahuna-burger.livejournal.com 2016-01-04 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Lorne was a bit of a jerk in Runner, but redeemably so. And the pairing could work well in a Pre-Trinity "flip the script" I've been contemplating, where Rodney loses trust in John as a team leader.

Dumb question

Will there be a round-up post at the end of the month or do we comment to this post if we finish any?
