crestwood Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 I had a lot of fun judging my last challenge, so here I am with another! This one, hopefully, will shape up to be just as enjoyable. The Spin-off Challenge Predictably, your challenge is to spin-off a story. Even more predictably, there’s a bit more to it. Challenge Details Your task is to find a story on the HPFT archives, written by anyone other than yourself, and write a spin-off of it. To me, there’s endless fun in reinterpreting the ideas of another writer and I love to see the works that can spring out of this sort of exchange. All fandoms will be accepted, as well as Original Fiction. I will read the stories that you are spinning off in order to get a solid idea of what elements you are borrowing. You can use unique worldbuilding from your story, or characters from your story - either will fulfill the spin-off requirement. If you’d like to crossover your chosen story with one of your own, that is acceptable as well. You may post in the thread as a taker before you have found a story to spin-off if you'd like, as long as your eventual entry makes it clear in the summary or author's note which story it is based on. Challenge Rules You must ask for permission before using someone else’s story for this challenge. My stories are not allowed to be spun off for this challenge due to the huge conflict of interest No prewritten entries will be accepted. All entries must be posted on the HPFT archives, with this challenge mentioned in the summary or story notes. Multiple entries are allowed. No length or chapter requirement. Not necessary to complete before the deadline if multi-chaptered. Can be any rating. I will leave reviews on every chapter of every entry uploaded between now and the Challenge deadline! Challenge Rewards Third place: three reviews on stories of your choice and a link in my sig for one month. Second place: five reviews on stories of your choice and a link in my sig for one month. First place: seven reviews on stories of your choice and a link in my sig for one month. Judgment I will be judging based on - How well you integrate elements of the story you are spinning off. The execution of your writing. And that is all! If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask away in the thread!
TreacleTart Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Ooh. This is just like the Fanfic Favorite Challenge I just had. I’m glad I can participate this time. I’m not sure who I’ll spin off, but count me in.
crestwood Posted April 7, 2019 Author Posted April 7, 2019 @TreacleTart Oh, yes - I was told about that challenge after I had this idea; I wish I could have been around to join in on that one! I can't wait to see what you do for this! Takers: TreacleTart

mydearfoxy Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I literally JUST discussed this premise with @Stella Blue and how I should have written a spin-off of her fic Icarus and she was very enthusiastic. Great timing! (Also, bless you for the summer deadline.) I’ll be a taker with a spin-off of Icarus by Stella Blue

Guest Rumpelstiltskin Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 O/ I'd like to be a maybe, but am entirely unsure of what I want to spin off from right this moment.
Guest Noelle Zingarella Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 @crestwood I will be spinning-off @Oregonian 's Forgive Us Our Trespasses (M). Vicki said it was okay and liked the idea I had. TTFN!

crestwood Posted May 2, 2019 Author Posted May 2, 2019 @Rumpelstiltskin Somehow this slipped past me, but have you down as a maybe now! @Noelle Zingarella I'm excited to see what you do with Vicki's story Takers: TreacleTart TidalDragon Noelle Zingarella MuggleMaybe victoria_anne Lacey Black Rumpelstiltskin Maybes: poppunkpadfoot Noelle Zingarella
poppunkpadfoot Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Just as an FYI, I've been given @facingthenorthwind's kind permission to write something in their Everybody Lives 'verse!
facingthenorthwind Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 I'll be spinning off @poppunkpadfoot's passionfruit!! Not entirely sure how yet, but that's a problem for future Emma. A look at the decision process: i know everyone is like "but wolfstar" but they are forgetting that kayla and i have two (2) personality traits, and only ONE of them is wolfstar. the other one is lesbians.
crestwood Posted May 14, 2019 Author Posted May 14, 2019 @poppunkpadfoot @facingthenorthwind Very prepared to see you spin-off each other's stories! I should have seen this coming Takers: TreacleTart TidalDragon Noelle Zingarella MuggleMaybe victoria_anne Lacey Black Rumpelstiltskin poppunkpadfoot facingthenorthwind
facingthenorthwind Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Could I do a remix of the variety where I take some of the dialogue from the original? I have two different ideas, one a remix and one a sequel (i.e., one is a Sirius POV of the events of passionfruit, and one is Marlene Mckinnon getting to pash a girl).
crestwood Posted May 24, 2019 Author Posted May 24, 2019 @facingthenorthwind Either idea would be fine - POV swaps are welcome
facingthenorthwind Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Behold: passionfruit (the should've seen it coming remix)
TreacleTart Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 @crestwood You can officially count me as a taker now. @TidalDragon has given me permission to spin-off his classic Schrodinger’s Cat.
