No True Pair

Prompts for Round 9!

2012-02-12T02:27:38Z

Are you ready? How 'bout it? XD

The only numbers are in the appropriate locations in the prompts, so you should be able to just find and replace them on your word processor of choice.

( Here they are! )

So? So? Did you get something wonderfully hilarious, brain-breaking, or inspiring that you'd like to share? Feel free to chat and mention some of your favorites here!

And if you still want to sign up, just head on over to the sign-up post and make your lists. If you already peeked at the prompts though, don't cheat! ^^; Tell me you signed up late and I'll mix the numbers up into a new order to keep things randomized for you.

Posting starts March 1st! Good luck and have fun!

Upcoming at No True Pair...

2012-02-11T03:30:07Z

Looking forward to the prompt reveal? :D

Don't worry, it's coming soon! (Probably tomorrow night since I'm booked on the morning of the 12th ;) )

But, in the meantime, a little news about upcoming events at No True Pair...

...Remember all those old sign-ups you have sitting around?
...Those fics you started and never finished?
...That art you drew but never finished coloring?

If you liked them, don't let them go just yet, because after the March posting for the 9th Round, starting sometime in April No True Pair will begin to celebrate its 5 year anniversary (this June) and the eventual 10th Round (sometime in the second half of the year) with a full-on prompt amnesty! (to overlap with the on-going posting of late entries for Round 9)

Anything you ever made for No True Pair, but never posted here will be fair game!

[Further info and inquiries regarding Round 10 will probably appear around the same time]

No True Pair Round 9 Sign-Ups!

2012-02-01T18:13:54Z

The first rule of No True Pair is: have fun!
~~The second rule of No True Pair is: Suzume-mod always jumps the gun.~~ (apparently not this time)
(The third rule of No True Pair is: talk about No True Pair- just in case you were wondering)

0TP Round Nine is officially open for sign-ups!

Sign-ups will run from now until February 11th!
(If you show up between February 12th & February 29th and ask me nicely, I'll probably let you join in anyway with the numbers on the prompts reshuffled, but it's better to get in early, right?)

February 12th: Prompts are revealed.
March 1st: Posting starts.

-----------

Comment here with your numbered list of eight characters for the February/March round of No True Pair. As per previous rounds:

- your list can contain characters from one fandom or different fandoms
- you may use your original characters
- you may have more than one list (as many as you like)
- you can also use less than eight characters -- simply repeat the same characters until you have a name next to every number
- every character in your list will have a prompt with every other one.

This is a low pressure challenge. Signing up does not obligate you to complete any fic/art.

I do hope that you will participate and I encourage you to invite your friends!!

(By the way, that last influx of posts was just delightful! I'll have the latest masterlist updated by the end of the day)

Pairing/characters: Tsukumo/Touko
Rating: G
Prompt: Tsukumo & Touko, the language of flowers

2012-01-31T22:37:17Z

Fandom: Uragiri wa Boku no Namae o Shitteiru
Pairing/characters: Implied Tsukumo/Touko & Senshirou/Kuroto

heart-to-heart 「Katekyo Hitman Reborn!; Kyouko & Gokudera」

2012-01-31T22:29:02Z

Title: heart-to-heart

Fandom: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Pairing/characters: Past Yamamoto/Kyouko, pre-Yamamoto/female!Gokudera
Rating: PG
Prompt: Kyouko & Gokudera, "I've been wanting to hear from you."
Author's Notes: The main thing to know is that in this ’verse, Tsuna and Gokudera are both women. But this is actually an AU of the AU written about in another 0TP fic, Reason; the original remains Yamamoto/Kyouko and has a great deal of Shamal/female!Gokudera. (I’ve seriously gotta name this AU at some point…)

( “Hayako-chan, are you truly so desperate to get away from me that you’ll willingly go drinking with Onii-chan in your free time?” )

Everything's running smoothly...

2011-10-25T17:01:53Z

October's not over yet and what a great round this is turning out to be! :D

This is just a quick drive-by mod post to let you know I'll be out of the country and probably away from the internet from this evening until sometime on November 4th.

I'll compile the preliminary master list for this round when I get back (and catch up on whatever wonderful fanworks and tagging I've missed), but, like last time, feel free to continue writing/drawing for the prompts and posting what you've created up until sign-ups begin for our ninth round (sometime in early 2012)!

In any case, continue having fun!
