I got my challenge for the Ron Ficathon.

Ron/Hermione.
Not relationship centric. Someone's complicated plot-bunny that doesn't grab me at all.

Can't I do Hagrid/Buckbeak again?

*Looks at challenge like it's cold oatmeal.*

See if you can't exchange it for another.

However, if anyone could make a boring, stale pairing like Ron/Hermione work, it would be you. You made me like Draco/Ron, I have faith. ^_^


I would not, could not Draco/Ron.
Tell them to put their clothes back on!

Oh, it's not even a pairing. They want a particular plot and if Ron's with anyone, he's with Hermione. But they specifically ask that the relationship not be the center of it.

Don't these people know I write porn?

*tears out hair*

Trust me, I insisted Draco/Ron was impossibility. My Ron (back then) was at best straight!bendable and Draco while plausibly queer (or hedonistically queer) and the two didn't get along. I saidL "they'd have to be forced into it." Ooops.

Damn. This means you're not writing me Ron/ Myrtle/ Viktor ;)

For my own reference: "About Ron" doesn't necessarily imply "from Ron's point of view," right?

[electricandroid.livejournal.com]

same here.

except I got no character death, no angst. ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

*hugs icarus tightly and weeps*

FLUFFY HET

its okay - we'll get through this together.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

As far as I'm concerned, no, it doesn't have to be from Ron's POV. But Ron has to 'fill the camera' so-to-speak.

They don't want it focusing on sex. Me. No sex.

*blank look*

[ygrane.livejournal.com]

Okay, they want a story, with either no pairing, or a stale het pairing. But they don't want pairings and sex to be central to the story.

*blinks*

I don't understand.

This must be that "plot" thing that Sushi goes on about. I maintain that characters can be developed in bed.
^_~


Okay, so you make the story about Ron. Hrrmmm. I'm not very fond of Ron as a character. I suppose you could play up his faults though. Can he be an adult? Can there be wanking? Surely they'll give you something to work with. Good luck.

*strokes icarus, makes soothing noises*

its okay. we can do this. we can do gen!het... its okay, we can do this, we can write gen!het.

Jesus I thought this was sodding slash! *pouts*

there are too many het!shippers out there.

*smites het*

well if you need anyone to vent on - I'm availible

[ygrane.livejournal.com]

*huggles Bee*

It'll be all right. Somehow.

Maybe you could have them think about other people during the Fluffy Het. *shudder*

[ncp.livejournal.com]

*pets* It's ok...

Ron/Hermione doesn't have to be vanilla... just because 99.9999999% of it is boring missionary sex doesn't mean you can't redefine the genre.

Or something.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Plot? *blank look*

P-L-O-T. Hmmm. It sounds familiar.

Plot, n>/i>, 1. a small piece of land in a cemetery 2. the plan or main story of a literary work 3. the secret plan for accomplishing a usually evil or unlawful end.

Which do you think it is? Hmmm....

Icarus

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

They don't want sex. So I can't even do Dom!Hermione and Sub!Ron.

They have a specific plot they want. This is clearly the karma of that Blame Somebody Else challenge I gave gmth coming back to haunt me.

Icarus

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I thought it was slash, too.

Oh well. If it turns out okay I guess I'll have something for the Sugar Quill.

Icarus *pouts*

[ygrane.livejournal.com]

With that story challenge, the first one.

Although I recommend that you go for the third. ^_~

ygrane has bunnied me into a trannie Ron!fic wearing hermione's makeup, with oodles of slashy subtext and gay porn.

Now for gen - we can do that - consult the oracle that is ygrane for she has many thoughts....

Consult the oracle?

*flips over Magic 8-Ball* "You will enjoy it if Ron is in trouble."

Oh, you mean consult Lars. Indubitably.

todays offering is apparently rather hot Snarry with which I managed to coerce 1/8th of your minion away from you. I'm getting smut drawn! YAY! It features green silk knickers Harry, veritaserum, and Snape. :)

*hides from rampaging BNF*

[ncp.livejournal.com]

Er, I don't write fic, just read it, so I'm not sure how challenges work exactly, but...

If it's such a specific plot, shouldn't THEY be writing it?

[wildebeth.livejournal.com]

Ah. So that's why you didn't comment. Was biting my lip about that. *worries that her r/hr is stale*

Oh well. Good luck! *pets*

ps I was kind of hoping for Ron/Crabbe.

[loup_noir]

Find a ghost writer?

Ok, invert it. You can do that. Take the plot, stand it one its head and shake it. There has to be something in there to work with.

[opprobrium.livejournal.com]

Ah, there's always the most stable fallback in all of HP fandom - POLYJUICE POTION.

Ugh

[barbana.livejournal.com]

Well at the risk of sounding like a total fan girl suck up...if anyone can do it and make it interesting it's you. Hang in there!

[mctabby.livejournal.com]

Now is the time for Ron/Teaspoon. *nods sagely*

[lyricalnights.livejournal.com]

You have just made me glad I pulled Ron/Harry with minimal requirements.

I also agree with ncp that any bunny that complex oughtn't to be a gift exchange request, esp a het and slash mingled exchange.

On that note, I wonder how many het shippers are getting our challenges right now and going ???

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, have pity on me. Lizard is my only minion.

We have to do that Icarus art calendar...
