I'm posting this a bit early since I'll be at Oni-con this weekend, and I'm leaving tomorrow. ^^; I don't want to rush to post it before I leave, so the challenge officially starts tomorrow, but you get a preview of sorts for this round. I'll be back on Monday to respond to comments and such if I don't get a chance to go online during the weekend.
1. Themed: item + place
a) clay bowl + onsen
b) old magazine + Victorian house
c) rosary beads + cellar
d) red scarf + balcony
e) broken porcelain doll + church
f) rope + abandoned building
g) mirror + attic
h) knife + bedroom
2. AU: any band/artist
a) rivalries - Pit the band members against each other, i.e. give them jobs or allegiances on opposing sides. The split can be even, or two vs. three, or four vs. one, etc. but at least two rival groups must be present. It doesn't necessarily need to be bitter rivalry; it could be simply a competition or game, as long as it's AU in some form.
b) transported - This is something a bit different than usual, but it could be fun. Pick a band/artist and drop them into a different universe -- it must be an original or historical setting, not some other fandom's universe. The catch to this is the band should remain themselves (i.e. as musicians), so they'll suddenly find themselves far from home without any idea of where (or when) they are. XD For example, say Gazette suddenly found themselves 300 years in the future, or Kra were dropped into the Heian period of Japan.
3. Quote: any band/artist (the quote doesn't need to be included, but the fic should be based around it in some way)
a) "Anything that can go wrong, will." - Murphy's Law (okay, so it's not exactly a quote, but still XD)
b) "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." - Karl Marx
c) "The ends justify the means." - Nicolo Machiavelli
d) "The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you." - Woody Allen
e) "To know a thing well, know its limits. Only when pushed beyond its tolerances will true nature be seen. Do not depend only on theory if your life is at stake." - Bene Gesserit Commentary (Chapterhouse: Dune -- novel)
f) "In the hands of a con artist fear can be used to motivate obedience, capitulation, the exploitation of innocent people - and that is what I believe has happened here and I intend to prove that." - Jean-Luc Picard (Devil's Due)
4. Anonymous: Pick a pairing/band/artist and write something without naming names or using descriptors such as "the vocalist/bassist/etc." or mentioning hair color, height, and other obvious indicators. (Credit for thisevil idea goes to
kudakechiru_uso.)
5. Round Robin: Continue this round robin, or start your own.

And you can request a fic from me if you want. I'll do my best to write it, though it might take a while. ^^;;
