The Rules:

You now have from this point on, until Monday, two weeks from now, April 19th at midnight Chicago time (GMT-6) to complete your challenge. Your story can be any length, any rating. What you do with the summary is entirely up to you. Write a whole ficlet based on it. Write the opening/closing paragraphs of a hypothetical long fic - or give us a cookie from the middle and throw in some Author's Notes to explain the rest of the plot. Or any other option that appeals to you.

I think the most important thing is that the prompt you've been given can be used as merely a *guide* as to the fic you're writing. You don't have to match it up word for word, or idea for idea. Take the general theme and run with it. Does your prompt have something in it you're not as familiar with? A crossover reference or something else you don't know all that well? WING IT. Really. This isn't supposed to cause anyone any stress or have you trying to cram every HP book into you brain in the next four days. It's a CRACKFIC challenge. Take the idea and just kinda...go! Have FUN!

Also, I know we had a LOT of fun with the horrific spelling and punctuation in the prompts, but please, for the love of all of us reading the fics, PLEASE use regular grammar and punctuation in your story. If you're in need of a beta, ping one of the mods ([personal profile] seleneheart or [personal profile] ride_4ever) and we'll get you hooked up with someone!

When you post your fic please make sure to use this as your header (copy/paste code below):



Please tag as: challenge:badfic 3, and author:[you]

Again, this is all for fun, but if you signed up, please try and get your fic done in time! This should be a quick and easy process! Have some fun with it! If you realize that you're NOT going to be able to participate, please drop a comment in this post. Everyone else, if you would like to pick up a prompt or do a second fic, etc, check the comments here and grab one when it suits your fancy.



  • [personal profile] kinetikatrue Prompt: "Where is the merfic in due South? Ray as a merman, or Fraser, or both! Dief as a merdog or maybe a porpoise!" for [personal profile] mific

  • [personal profile] love_jackianto1 Prompt: "Frannie Vecchio is an addictions counselor working with food-related addictions in a group therapy setting. Some of the members of the group are Renfield Turnbull (addicted to watching cooking shows, especially "Chopped Candada" with Dean McDermott), Ray Kowalski (addicted to Benton Fraser a mix of coffee and chocolate candy), Diefenbaker (addicted to donuts), Harding Welsh (addicted to deli sandwiches), and Benton Fraser (not addicted to anything food-related, but, "Fight Club style," addicted to attending support groups). Someone in the support group turns out to be a Cylon, but who?" for [personal profile] ride_4ever

  • [personal profile] mific Prompt: "Benton Fraser is actually a space alien sent here to assess human race for invasion. Meets Ray K and reevaluate his position (for better or worse, dealer's choice 😏) Meets Ray K and reevaluate his position (for better or worse, dealer's choice 😏) In my head I'm thinking of how attached Venom became to Eddie (I'm not suggesting fraser is of a similar alienage 😆) but what kind of alien he is is open, maybe there are tentacles 😆" for [personal profile] wicked3659

  • [personal profile] ride_4ever Prompt: "It's not Frannie who shows up at Fraser's door in custom-made lingerie, but Thatcher or Elaine. Instead of ""Don't be afraid,"" what does Thatcher/Elaine say? The timeline can be different -- it doesn't have to be S1 and Fraser doesn't have to have been beaten up by Zuko's goons. " for [personal profile] verushka70

  • [personal profile] seleneheart Prompt: "green orbs" for [personal profile] love_jackianto1

  • [personal profile] verushka70 Prompt: "So the gang works at a combo coffee shop-bookstore called The Two-Seven & The Consulate, with Welsh as coffee shop manager and Thatcher as bookstore manager - and solves mysteries on the side. Dief has a mysterious vest/license set up as something vaguely resembling an emotional support animal, though Fraser would never admit he needed any such thing, which allows him to hang around the coffee shop and beg for baked goods at every opportunity. And Fraser has a coterie of regulars who show up just to stare at him. He also makes sure all their leftovers at end of day go to feed the homeless. And when we join our heroes for this story, Fraser has just come back from vacation and discovered that his usual partner in coffee slinging has disappeared and been replaced by another guy who claims to be 'Ray' and also that they're dealing with a couple of arson cases that hit close to home. And to top that off, their usual cashier, Elaine, has been hired away and been replaced by Ray's annoying sister. What's a mountie to do??" for [personal profile] kinetikatrue

  • [personal profile] wicked3659 Prompt: "Everyone in the cast is some type of food. Is there a chef?" for [personal profile] seleneheart

Yes, like the first guideline under "Community Guidelines": Post your works to this comm until the current challenge is over. Then you are free to post wherever you like.

([personal profile] seleneheart, I think that even though we have this in the guidelines, we should also include it in the post when we issue new challenges -- just in case a participant doesn't click through the profile to check the guidelines.)
