?️✨the spice up the archives challenge✨?️

deadline: September 15, 2020

Hi guys! I’m supplying a list of my very specific favorite tropes and prompts to choose from. Most of them are shippy romantic themed because I'm feeling very ?. I don’t care how you use one, just that it’s used! :)

This can apply to any fandom or original fic. For this one I’m going to do no stories already posted to the archives and for a reward everyone will receive a picspam of whatever they write and winners will receive an award graphic. Combinable with other challenges and multiple entries are welcome!

  • fae/fair folk
  • enemies to lovers
  • healthy exes
  • gamers/discord users who fall in love with each other’s online anonymous persona but want to kill each other at work
  • lake/beach/cabin trip featuring a rowdy friend group where feelings are realized
  • space station life 
  • rival teachers being shipped by their students
  • ethical pirates
  • steampunk/cyberpunk
  • tech support/office luddite falling 
  • tabletop gaming group
  • modern mythology retellings
  • oh my god they were roommates
  • oh my god they were labmates
  • thieves guild/crime syndicate
  • reading thirst tweets
  • modern pride and prejudice retelling
  • bounty hunter
  • remote researcher(s) in the middle of nowhere
  • spending the night at a haunted house
  • vikings
  • shy, awkward library love
  • watch my pet while I'm out of town and then we get in the habit of talking and ,,,

Ok, first of all, I'll be in as a maybe.  Second of all, can we bring these genres of movie back?  I feel like it's what the world needs.

  • modern mythology retellings

Wait, I actually have a question for this: do you have a preference in mythologies?  Like, should we stick to the conventional Greek and Roman, or can I go worldwide?

Posted

No preference! I’m fairly well-versed in global mythology (and did a challenge on it a few years back), but if I don’t know it I’ll research it! 

Posted

i am IN!!!! ethical pirate odesta is never leaving my brain now it's stuck in there

just one question — what exactly would you define as "ethical pirate"? just to be safe! ?

Posted

Ooooh the rival teachers being shipped by their students is soooo tempting. Uuugh, but I’m supposed to be working on 2 other WIPs! *wails* 

 

Dammit, I’m going to try! I’m a strong maybe for now. 

Posted

Omg the fair folk is so interesting ? also modern mythology retellings - though, quick question: what counts as modern? does it have to be, like, 21st century, or would the 70s/80s be modern enough? 

Either way imma be a maybe ^_^ 

Posted

i really really wanna do this because i absolutely ADORE half of those tropes. i also love how oddly specific #4 is lmao. i'm not sure which one i'm gonna go for, but i'm in!

It’s open ended! Whatever you like! I was thinking of Inej my pirate queen rescuing stolen young girls from nefarious men.

Posted

oh my god they were labmates

...any type of labmates (.....cadaver lab is my best lab but i could probably do others too)

regardless of how you feel about cadaver labmates, i'm probably in, possibly with this one, possibly with another, there's too many to pick from?

Posted

:evilkermit:do it! 

Posted

Are we allowed to use tropes that others are also using? Because modern mythology retellings is looking mighty appealing as well. ?

Posted

Yep! Feel free to pick any of them! 

Posted

OH HA! It's on now.

Posted

oh my god I AM IN!!! I will try TWO -- fae/fairy folk and space station life because both are just calling my name :elmofire:
