Fandom Exchange Cowrites Shenanigans 2! by firemagic on 2015-05-08 17:06:00 UTC Reply

So, way back in December of 2012, I suggested a sort of random cowrite game, in order to encourage PPCers to write with new people and get involved in new fandoms! And, well, I figure now's a good time to try it again.

Here are the rules/guidelines:

Every person who wants to play makes a short list of the fandoms they really love and want to write in - three, four entries or thereabouts. Then, that person is matched up with someone that they've never written with, don't know too well, and whose fandoms they don't know themselves. Then, those two people write a crossover fic together, and hopefully make a new friend and get a new fandom to enjoy. (The fandom matchups don't have to be entirely random, by the way - last time I mentioned that I kind of wanted to write a Nanoha/Sherlock fic when I knew nothing about Sherlock, and ended up doing that with LilyWinterwood. The important part is you only know one of the fandoms involved.)

So, yeah!

My own list is as follows:

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
Steven Universe
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Homestuck

Is it too late to opt in? by Fasoula on 2015-05-13 05:39:00 UTC Reply

Possibly. Doin' it anyways. I'll be darned if I'm gonna let time and energy-vampiric finals get in the way of my fun.

I'm gonna have to go with (in order of least to most obscure):

-Discworld

-Avatar/Legend of Korra

-Mother/Earthbound

-The Touhou Project (the canon, as the fanon is a entirely different beast.)

Ya know what? Screw it, I'm in! by Voyd on 2015-05-11 15:08:00 UTC Reply

Let's get this in before I think about it too hard.

-Monster Musume
-Nurse Hitomi's Monster Infirmary
-Pathfinder RPG
-Comical Psychosomatic Medicine

You can find MonMusu and Nurse Hitomi on basically any site where you can read manga, CPsM is on Crunchyroll (each episode is only five minutes long, you've got time), and Pathfinder information can be found on the Archives of Nethys.

I'll toss my more obscure ones... by [EvilAI]UBEROverlord on 2015-05-10 08:34:00 UTC Reply

That no one seems to have listed yet.

1. Fullmetal Alchemist
2. Ah! My Goddess
3. Knights of Sidonia (Newer Fandom of mine, still working through it)
4. Mass Effect
Ehh... Might as well. by OrangeYoshi99 on 2015-05-10 05:02:00 UTC Reply

If i have any time, that is.

1. Pokemon
2. Mega Man: Battle Network/the anime
2. Homestuck (and I have passing knowlege of Problem Sleuth too)
4. Terraria
The honorary 5th palace is a tie between Sherlock and Civ, because I don't trust myself to write Holmes and how the heck would tou do a Civ fic anyway?

(that's not in any paritcular order)

Also, while I'm here: Have a PMMM/Civ crossover! by Scapegrace on 2015-05-10 14:00:00 UTC Reply

Sort of.

This pack is composed of 8 new Civilizations based on the Puella Magi Madoka Magica universe. Some of them are spoilers by their very nature so be warned. =]

I SHIP IT.

SO MUCH.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.

(also thanadelthur from the Dene mod is hella cute so throw that in for the ot3, and u can find her here.)

Don't be ridiculous. by Huinesoron on 2015-05-10 16:54:00 UTC Reply

Cathy/Izzy all the way. Wait, is Isabella still the crazy church lady in 5? Because her appearance has definitely downhill since 4. (Also, is Cathy still as hilarious/awesome as she was in 4?)

hS

Oh yeah. Cathy's still awesome. by Scapegrace on 2015-05-10 18:44:00 UTC Reply

And with the introduction of 3D leader screens, well, judge for yourself.

But yeah, Isabella's kind of ridiculously churchy. Boudicca, on the other hand, is a gawky, slightly deranged-looking ginger with a sword and a lot of war paint. Can Cathy tame the flame-haired barbarian's wild and burning passion? Will Boudicca bring the fires that ravaged Londinium to warm the pillars of the Hermitage and the queen within? Is Theodora interesting in, ahem, hosting a World Congress? Find out between the covers of "Fires Of The Heart", available in no good bookshops whatsoever, but quite a few of the bad ones.

(yes. yes that is exactly what theodora wants.)

(the answer is yes.)

Color me excited by Superfluity on 2015-05-09 01:48:00 UTC Reply

This seems really fun!
1. Batman
2. Merlin
3. X-Files
4. Star Trek

Interesting... by Desdendelle on 2015-05-09 01:56:00 UTC Reply

I assume Merlin is about, well, Merlin. Makes me wonder how tossing a Warframe there would fare?

Re: Interesting by Superfluity on 2015-05-09 15:43:00 UTC Reply

I don't know much about Warframe, but after a quick jaunt over to the wikipedia page, I think that it would be an interesting and possible crossover.

For extra fun... by Desdendelle on 2015-05-09 20:52:00 UTC Reply

Drop Oberon in, since he's paladin-themed, and make sure his weapons don't stand out too much. I even know how to have him appear in the past.

You up for writing something of that sort?

Oh well, what could I lose... by Edhelistar on 2015-05-09 01:10:00 UTC Reply

(Since the DCU would be too broad, I decide to pick just one sub-continuum.)

Mine would be:

1.- Shazam!
2.- Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra
3.- Frozen
4.- Star Wars

Noice! by SkarmorySilver on 2015-05-09 20:18:00 UTC Reply

My knowledge of Star Wars is lacking enough to be worth a shot. Maybe we could have a crossover with Kid Icarus! Pit learning to use a lightsaber... Now, there's an idea...

As interesting it might be... by Edhelistar on 2015-05-09 22:01:00 UTC Reply

"...that person is matched up with someone that they've never written with, don't know too well, and whose fandoms they don't know themselves."

Yeah, well... You get the idea... XD

I'll bite by Seychelles on 2015-05-08 20:24:00 UTC Reply

I've got X-men, Young Justice, Attack on Titan and Hetalia.

Hmm by firemagic on 2015-05-09 00:54:00 UTC Reply

I think it could be fun to toss some characters from Nanoha (especially my current favorite, world-fighting-champion and utter dork Sieglinde Jeremiah) into a superhero universe like X-Men or Young Justice.

Though, are you talking about the movies or cartoons or comic books?

And I'm thinking on the other way around... by Edhelistar on 2015-05-09 01:51:00 UTC Reply

I think it will be fun to toss certain superhero into either Madoka Magica or Lyrical Nanoha. =P

Well, that's true... by firemagic on 2015-05-09 02:10:00 UTC Reply

Any particular ones in mind?

(Also, have you read Takamachi Nanoha of 2814? It may be right up your alley.)

Captain Marvel/Shazam specifically. by Edhelistar on 2015-05-09 03:43:00 UTC Reply

I quite curious on how his powers would work on any of those two universes.

(I love crossovers actually! The weirder, the better! So yeah, it is. I may look for that one in the future.)

Re: Captain Marvel/Shazam specifically. by firemagic on 2015-05-10 00:26:00 UTC Reply

Well, if you want to give me your email, I can share a GDoc with you and we can maybe plot something out?

Is not that weird... by Edhelistar on 2015-05-10 15:26:00 UTC Reply

...just convert my username into a G-Mail address.

Count me in! by SkarmorySilver on 2015-05-08 20:22:00 UTC Reply

If I can get the time, that is.

Fandom list:
- Godzilla
- The Incredibles
- Kid Icarus
- Rise of the Guardians

Hmmm by Seychelles on 2015-05-09 02:00:00 UTC Reply

I want to do I project with you, but I'm only unfamilar with Godzilla.

Works for me! by SkarmorySilver on 2015-05-09 02:34:00 UTC Reply

I'm not familiar with Young Justice, either, so I think we can work something out...

That's not exactly my problem by Seychelles on 2015-05-09 17:07:00 UTC Reply

I don't find Godzilla all that appealing. I'd rather do something else, I am familiar with the other fandoms, which I think defeats the point of this challege

Put me in, coach! =] by Scapegrace on 2015-05-08 18:05:00 UTC Reply

Fandoms are as follows (and yes, I AM picking out the weird ones)

---

Welcome To Night Vale
Skulduggery Pleasant
Primeval
The Culture (Iain M. Banks)
The Thick Of It
Gunnerkrigg Court

---

And the last one, the one of which no-one else on the Internet is a fan:

Socialism.

Here is a spreadsheet containing that info. Just go through and comment on someone's name if you'd like to ask them to write with you, and if you agree that'd be fun, then make the appropriate modifications to the Cowriting Duos sheet!

It was loads of fun last time, so I'm down for it again, methinks.
