galaxysoupSo naye posted an announcement on Tumblr about Lock Down Fest, which runs from the 20th-30th of March and is a non-anon, self-posting, multi-ship and multi-fandom mini fest which offers the prompt getting stuck in/isolated together, and/or quarantine-inspired.
While I'm not quarantined (yet) or adequately socially distanced (here's hoping the city government comes to their senses and shuts us down soon), I thought this would be a cool thing to take part in. I didn't have an immediate prompt fill idea, though, which meant I had to come up with a way to bunny myself.
In an attempt to narrow my fic subjects down from 'every fandom I have ever known' to 'only a few of the fandoms I know', I decided to add to the challenge and try to answer the prompt in a fandom I've never written in before. I went through my bookmarks on AO3 and noted down each different fandom I'd saved a story in, and then I eliminated all the ones I'd written in already, whether the fic was fully posted or forever unfinished and eternally languishing on my harddrive. If I then cut out the fandoms that I do not, for whatever reason, feel like I'm capable of writing a fic for, I'm left with:
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., American Gods, Angel, Avatar the Last Airbender, Big Eden, BTS, Disney Princesses, Fruits Basket, Good Omens, Hawaii Five-0, Hot Fuzz, Knives Out, Lord of the Rings, The Losers, National Treasure, Parasol Protectorate, RED, seaQuest, Sleepy Hollow, Teen Wolf, The Untamed, Tintin, What’s Your Number
The challenge, now, is to write one or more stories involving any number of these fandoms, either as solos or crossovers (because come on, what's a more classic crossover setup than 'and then these strangers got quarantined together'??). Looking at this list, I think I need to let things percolate a little bit to see what inspires me before I pick an actual story.
At the moment, I am a little worried that the answer may be a Knives Out/Disney Princesses crossover from Marta's POV, because omg. What.
