All right, enough procrastinating, it's time to open up the
 

WHONIVERSE 1000 REVIVAL FICATHON!


What's going on here: So, lo these many years ago in 2008, [livejournal.com profile] settiai  had a really cool idea: Since Doctor Who has been running for a good 45 years and has dozens upon dozens of characters, why not try to write 1000 different combinations/pairings of those characters? And thus, [livejournal.com profile] whoniverse1000  was born!

And for a while it was pretty great - people wrote pairings that had no other fic and sometimes shouldn't have worked but did, and it was a lot of fun just seeing what people could come up with for these people distributed across space and time to interact with each other. But, around 240 fics (no mean feat) it kind of petered out. And I think that's a shame.

So, let's give it a little more love! 

How it works: For [livejournal.com profile] whoniverse1000 , people wrote short fics for their pairing in the comments section of the main post, then request three different pairings - however random or improbable - at the end of their fic. Someone who wanted to write or draw that pairing would leave a comment fic as a reply to that comment

1) Behind this link is the list of all the requested, unwritten pairings on the comm so far. If you want to participate, claim a prompt in the comments to this post! Claim for fic, art, whatever. Claimed prompts will be posted here, to avoid doubling (due to the size of the unclaimed prompt list I can't just post it here behind the cut; it makes the post too big).

2) Claiming stays open until the 10th of March, little more than a week. After that, it's time to write!

3) Fic can be as short as 100 words or as long as you like; art should be posted in your own journal with a thumbnail in the comment. When you're done, post your fic or art in the main post, as a reply if it's a pairing requested in an existing thread.

4) Once you've finished your fic or art, leave a comment linking to it on the writing post; if you want to keep going, go back to the claims post here and claim another prompt, and so on and so forth.

5) For now, let's stick with previously-requested prompts, rather than starting new threads, although if absolutely none of the requested pairings appeal to you, go ahead and go with something new. The Doctor Who Random Pairing Generator may be of help here. :D But part of the fun here is seeing which improbably and strange pairings can get written here!

6) Remember, leave feedback on the feedback post, or in the link on the ficathon page - the main page is just for fics.

7) If you have a pairing you want to claim and would like a prompt to get started, just ask for a prompt in the comments - I'll give you a word, image, or lyric for you to go on.

8) Remember: Use warnings for common triggers if your fic requires them (common triggers here being rape, other consent issues, abuse (especially of children), self-harm, and graphic violence (please let me know if I've forgotten any)), be nice to each other, and don't bash other pairings or characters in your fic.

9) Be sure to pimp this in your own journal or relevant comms! The more the merrier!

Have fun, and happy writing!

I claim Leela/Rodan for fic. Not to discourage anyone else who would want to write Leela/Rodan, because they are awesome and should have much fic.

Also, yay for this!

Thank you! I've got you listed on the claims. Hopefully this will be the spur that other people need to start writing pairings like Leela/Rodan. :D

Just popping back to see what's been claimed, and I am SO happy that Liz/Liz has been claimed (I was torn between the two), and by you, and I can't wait to read it.

I am actually already half-done with it! I've had it half-finished for - gosh, ages now, and this was pretty good impetus to get it finished and posted.

I'm just so super-excited for all the fic that's going to come out of this. There hasn't been all that much Old Who fic lately, or rare-pair fic, and now there's going to be lots and I am ever so pleased about it. :D

Thank you for organising this!

Jackie Tyler/Mickey Smith, please. :)

And I've posted in my journal begging people to write fic pointing people in this direction, so hopefully that will get some people's attention.

You're listed on the claims! And thanks for crossposting - I wasn't sure where else to promote this besides the newsletter and a couple of comms I belong to, and I appreciate you spreading the word.
 
posted by [identity profile] janeturenne.livejournal.com at 03:43pm on 05/03/2011
There are SO MANY excellent ones, but Leela/Torvald is the one that's jumping out at me this morning. So I'll have that, please, for fic.
 
posted by [identity profile] stunt-muppet.livejournal.com at 05:34pm on 10/03/2011
You're listed for that fic! And thank you for participating - I'm really excited for all the new fic.
 
posted by [identity profile] derekmetaltron.livejournal.com at 12:09am on 06/03/2011
Great idea! I'm already done a few odd ones lately (Ramsay/Mwfanwy anyone?) but plan to try a couple mentioned at some point. To be honest though, 250+ is already an impressive achievement!
 
posted by [identity profile] stunt-muppet.livejournal.com at 02:49am on 11/03/2011
It is pretty impressive! But there are still so many pairings out their left to write, and I'd like to see more of them get written. I hope you can participate!

How has no one written Charley Pollard/Rose Tyler? Clearly this must be fixed. I shall accept this challenge.


(And maybe dust off ye old Amy Pond/Lucie Miller fic and see if something can't be done with it.)
 
posted by [identity profile] stunt-muppet.livejournal.com at 03:15am on 11/03/2011
You're down for Charley/Rose! And I am also very excited for the prospect of Lucy/Amy, so if you wanted to post that as well, that would be okay... :)
 
posted by [identity profile] sleepscribbling.livejournal.com at 01:46pm on 06/03/2011
Ah, great idea. I stumbled upon that comm a couple months ago and thought it'd be cool if it were more active again. As for this ficathon: At first I was tempted to claim Amy/Rory off that list, but the prominence of that pairing now makes it seem just a bit too easy.

I'll take Luke/Toshiko.
 
posted by [identity profile] stunt-muppet.livejournal.com at 07:33pm on 11/03/2011
Well, hey, as long as nobody else has written Amy/Rory yet, you could still go for it! Nothing says it has to be *only* rare pairings that get written there.

You're down for Luke/Tosh, and thank you for participating!

Eee! I'd forgotten quite how much I loved [livejournal.com profile] whoniverse1000 until I looked at that prompt list again! :D

Can I claim Ace McShane/Mel Bush, please?
 
posted by [identity profile] stunt-muppet.livejournal.com at 07:42pm on 11/03/2011
I know, and there's so many new characters that it's in a prime position to get going again! I'm really excited to see how this works out. :D

I can't believe nobody's written Ace/Mel yet! You're down for that claim, and thanks for participating!

I'm definitely late, but can I still play?

(I'd like to claim Mercy Hartigan/Rosita - which may actually have been my own prompt some time ago but never mind.)
 
posted by [identity profile] stunt-muppet.livejournal.com at 04:29am on 18/03/2011
Of course! You're listed for Miss Hartigan/Rosita. Nothing says you can't write for your own prompt. :D
 
posted by [identity profile] cosmic-llin.livejournal.com at 10:39am on 13/03/2011
Late because I forgot, but is there any chance I could still claim Sarah Jane/Chrissie for fic?
 
posted by [identity profile] stunt-muppet.livejournal.com at 04:31am on 18/03/2011
Certainly! I've listed you for Sarah Jane/Chrissie.
 
posted by [identity profile] marzipanilla.livejournal.com at 08:44am on 14/03/2011
Damn! I just found this comm. Late comers welcome at all?

Saw a Three/Sarah on the list (please oh please oh please oh please?), rather surprised someone hasn't nabbed it (or already written it)- possibly more on there with further perusal.. could you claim more than one?
 
posted by [identity profile] stunt-muppet.livejournal.com at 04:36am on 18/03/2011
Late-comers certainly welcome! I've listed you for the Three/Sarah claim. And you can claim as many as you like; there's no pressure to complete everything you claim. Just go for it and write some fic!
 
posted by [identity profile] marzipanilla.livejournal.com at 05:08am on 18/03/2011
Sweet!
I'd love to claim Astrid Peth/Donna and Five/Todd (from Kinda) then too. (wee!)
