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!

I'm not comfortable in any of my fandoms to step out of my comfort zone to do this...i shall do more Mary/Matt stuff. They're my babies!

Do rare threesomes count? if they do, then I have one for you. Arthur/Eames/Adrianne

I think I'm going to try and get some love for my crossover rare pairs.

Rare threesomes should TOTALLY be a thing. And someone should write a slightly dubconish H50 Steve/Danny/Bullfrog(Nick Taylor) for me, uh, for REASONS. Or a dark Steve'sWholeSEALTeam/Danny eek, hide my kinks.

Can we start new threads for discussions (like crossove rare pairs or meta talk) and tag them for the challenge?

Daniel - double the geeky adorableness :D

I'm quite tempted to try a Mary/Matt story myself and it's all your fault for putting the idea of the pairing in my head in the first place....so thank you :D

Wooo!! There's no possible way to ruin the pairing!

LOL, I saw an opportunity and I snagged it.

Oh, I really like the idea of writing a pair that's rare for me. I'm pretty multifannish, but there aren't a lot of pairings I actually write. Now to think of a pair to use... *ponders*

I have a question, though. I started this short fic a day before this challenge was announced. It is the first time I write for this pair. Does it still count?

[identity profile] dracosdreamer.livejournal.com 2016-01-05 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I will put this on my maybe list lol. so many of my pairs are major but if I can say "rare to ME", I could probly whip up some icons to share for pairs that I usually don't consider.

leaning towards Janeway/Paris in Voyager because back in the day, I used to make graphics for the biggest J/P site on the web. the owner humored the fact that I was a non-shipper but willing to contribute and even listed me as a member. we used to jokingly harass each other about our choice of ships...fun times XD

Yay! :) Then I might have a couple of things finished before this month is done.
