hear me out: a cutthroat kitchen-type contest for fanfic writers. contestants are given a different trope to write each round. sabotages include making an opponent write in first person, requiring them to write in a particular AU, making them incorporate the opening structure of my immortal. alton brown looks over your shoulder while you write the smut.
Oh, god.

A grab bag of horrible euphemisms are on the table, you bid for the privilege of being the only author allowed to use “cock”
You only get to use the character’s names and/or their pronouns once for every 1000 words. Beyond that, you must say “the taller one,” “the detective,” etc.
[fifteen seconds before you’re eliminated] “So this is a, sort of a, rustic, deconstructed high school bodyswap fake relationship fic…”
“I was so psyched to write my Fuck Or Die fic! I immediately picked up symbolic flowers, a prostate massager, and the dog they would adopt together…and then I realized – I totally forgot the aliens to make them do it.”
The most brutally sabotaged contestant ends up writing something so bad it becomes the most famous fic in all of fandom, forever. No one remembers who actually won the contest.
SOMEONE SET THIS UP I WANT TO PLAY.
I am dead serious this needs to be a thing. Like a fast paced, write what you can in X days/hours, 5k word max fic where you bid time for whatever advantages or disadvantages are on the table. Or even a monthly challenge where you’re given all kinds of things you have to incorporate and you have to sacrifice time in order to not be at a disadvantage (for example, you sacrifce a week and a half on your due date to be able to use the word cock in a smut fic.)
I swear if someone else wants to help me figure out the logistics of this kind of thing and help me mod I will set up a blog for this kind of thing. It’s waaaay too good an idea not to do.
Please please I’ll play!!!
