PAIRINGS THAT AREN'T
ACCEPTED IN THIS CHALLENGE:
• House/Wilson
• House/Cameron
• House/Cuddy
PAIRINGS THAT ARE
ACCEPTED IN THIS CHALLENGE:
• Every other pairing
• Threesomes & Moresomes
• Crossovers
→ Minimum word count is 1,000 words. Go wild with the maximum word count.
→ Don't write fic? No problem. Make art instead. Drawing, vidding, wallpapers, comics, digital art = awesome. Icons and avatars = awesome but not acceptable as art.
→ Sign ups start and will end . You'll then have six weeks to write/create. Posting of fic/art will commence and will run for a week. Don't post your fic/art anywhere else prior to the comm's posting date. But once the community is open for posting your submissions, go wild with crossposting.
→ Pimp this. Pretty please. We'll even include a pretty graphic for you to shove in people's faces. Copy & paste this in your journal entry to spam your f-list with:

• SOME QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT ASK:Are any combination of House, Cuddy, Wilson and/or Cameron accepted as a threesome or moresome?
Yes! So long as it's not exclusively focused on a particular pairing within that threesome. For example, House/Cuddy/Wilson should be about House/Cuddy/Wilson and not House/Cuddy with Wilson tossed in casually just to make it look like a threesome.
Can I write/create artwork for my non-rarepair OTP (H/W, H/Cam or H/Cu) in a non-House universe? For example, House/Cameron in a Doctor Who universe?
No. Because regardless of universe, the primary focus is still on House/Cameron. The point of this challenge is to step away from the mainstream, popular pairings and try your hand at writing/creating something you mightn't normally write/create.
But I can crossover House with Ten, right?
Absolutely! Crossover pairings are totally acceptable.
What about pairing a canon character with an original character - can I do that? For example, House/OFC?
Sure. Just be wary of Mary Sueism/Marty Stuism because no one takes those sorts of fics seriously. Unless, of course, it's not meant to be serious.
Can I allude to non-rarepair pairings at all?
Of course! But you can't make it the primary focus. Hints of, say, House/Wilson in a House/Foreman focused fic is fine. But primary focus on, say, H/W is not.
Will you delete my fic/art if I submit something that's primarily focused on non-rare pairings?
Well, we can't stop you from writing/creating something focused around that. But that defeats the purpose of a rarepair fic/art challenge. Basically, if you simply cannot step away from your non-rarepair OTP, then this isn't the challenge for you.
Can I collab with someone?
Yup!
Can I write a multichapter?
Sure. But you have to post it all in one go. And it can't be a WIP because that also defeats the purpose of completing the challenge. Feel free, however, to post the completed fic in parts at your journal and post a single link to the story from this community.
I don't like my prompt - can I ask for a different one?
No.
Can I claim more than one prompt?
Only once you've completed your first prompt and only if there are spots left to claim another one.
Does it have to be a pairing fic/art? Can I write/create gen?
Of course!
I have more questions, can I ask them?
Yes! Just leave your question in a comment here.
