No True Pair 2024 Four-Character Mini-Challenge Sign-Ups!

[kalloway]

no_true_pair's 2024 Four-Character Mini-Challenge is open for sign-ups!

no_true_pair is, loosely, a mad-libs-style challenge. You make a list of characters, a set of prompts is posted that uses all the characters in different combinations, and you create works using those characters.

For example, if your list contained Darth Vader and Mickey Mouse as numbers 2 and 4, there could be a prompt like "2 & 4 go out for coffee" or "4 invites 2 out for dinner, except..." and you'd write Darth Vader and Mickey Mouse going out for coffee, or Mickey Mouse inviting Darth Vader out for dinner and then going from there.

1. Leave a comment with your numbered list of four characters.

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)
• every character in your list will have a prompt with every other one

2. This is a low-pressure challenge. Signing up does not obligate you to create anything.

3. Tell your friends and have fun!

4. If you have any questions, just ask!

5. The Schedule:
Signups Open - NOW!
Prompts Posted ~ March 18th
Posting - March 26th-31st
Amnesty - Thereafter

(Amnesty is currently paused until the end of this round.)

Not quite cheating but I figured re-doing my characters was better than not writing... so, if I had followed my original instincts to write all 9-1-1 characters, this is what I would have done:

All from 9-1-1

So this is what I will be writing! Meep!

Thanks for running this! I loved participating in September's round even though I only completed 8 of the 28. I'm still hoping to go back and finish the rest, but I'm going to have to overcome a lengthy bout of writer's block first. I actually thought about skipping this round since I've already got too many fic ideas sitting unwritten, but there's a little part of me that's hoping that the combo of low pressure + actual deadlines might be the thing that finally breaks through my writer's block. Fingers crossed! (Also, any overlap with the signup directly above me is completely coincidence since I'd already picked my characters a couple days ago and was just waffling over whether to sign up, but seriously, what are the odds?!)

[soryenn]

I was just checking when I could plan to post one of my fills from last year... and it turns out I'm just in time for the miniround, how cool is that! Not sure I'll actually manage to get (m)any done this round but these gave me so many fun ideas last time, I can't resist. Thank you for running it again!
