I had an idea for a fic challenge - just 500 words (or more of course) based on the fanfic remix that
musesfool runs every year. This is the first time I've tried something like this, so bear with me. :)
I propose a Milliways Memories Remix!
There's a reason we memory threads - they are either funny, or important for plot, or, well, memorable. Let's open those threads we think were memorable for others to not only read, but to interpret and remix and write ficlets about.
This is how it will work. You will ask for five characters (with at least 5 threads saved in the memories of their journals) you'd like to read about (they can be your own). You offer to write for five characters (who are not your own, just to make it more challenging)who have at least 5 threads in their memories. I'm not going to check journals for memories, so you're going to have to do that.
You'd get assigned another person's request. You pick a requested character, choose a thread from his/her/its memories, and pick a moment to expand upon, a "what if it had gone this way" digression, or whatever. Make it funny, make it poignant, make it whatever you think the person you'd like in a ficlet form.
ETA: If you can't think of 5 for either, just write down the ones you can think of! 5 was just a convenient number for matching.I'll take sign-ups through Saturday. I'll assign folks their requests sometime during next week. It's only 500 words, so let's make the due date April 1st. I will either make a community in which we can post on our own, or do a post in Millirific for people to comment to.
