YES, I SAID I WOULD.
THIS IS THE FREAKS AND GEEKS FICATHON:
(No, not for the awesome Apatow series.
Although obviously you can prompt away with those characters and that world all you want, loves.)
A place where we can celebrate those of a less conventional nature. Fun.
Your favourite villian? You bet your sweet arse count as a freak.
Most awesome medical drama? Dude, doctors are geeks, of course they are.
RULES ARE THUS:
1. Is my love a freak or geek?
I don't know, do they feel like a freak or a geek? In your heart of hearts?
For the purpose of this, there are three categories:
THE ARCHETYPES: the ones that without any kind of doubt fit the category.
For freaks, this is: those not accepted by society, yours or their own. For geeks, it's those with an overenthusiastic nature towards things that are perhaps not all that popular (academia, sci-fi, blah-blah) in the grand scheme of things.
FREAKS: Abed Nadir- and probably every character (Community), River Tam, Eric/Phantom (Phantom of the Opera), EVERYONE FROM ROCKY HORROR, lmao.
GEEKS: Leonard, Sheldon (Big Bang Theory), Willow (BtVS), Fred (AtS)
THE INTERESTS: people who may or may not be freaks or geeks themselves but are engaging in freaky/geeky behaviour.
So maybe Quinn Fabray (Glee) is a stamp collector? Maybe Sid and Michelle (Skins) have got together to practise the occult?
It's about celebrating everything weiiiiiiiird.
THE DEFENDED:
AKA: The ones you can justify.
I can't think of every situation. And in all fairness, I wouldn't want to. Maybe you have a favourite play that two people in the entire world have read but you can justify that person as a geek or a freak, ("well, didn't you see them take an unhealthy fascination with the frog? GEEK"). I won't be checking all the entries, that's silliness. So don't fear repercussions. And the way I see it is, if they're a freak/geek to you, they're a freak/geek to me.
2. but... but... how do I get people to write for my freaks and geeks and geeks and freaks?
You comment to this post, you numpty.
FANDOM>> CHARACTER/PAIRING>> PROMPT
Be as specific or as general as you like, have lyrics, settings, activities, a random word as your prompt. Have it written from one perspective, the other, both. Have some romance, or not. Have a slash ship or not. You can be as cracky and delicious as you can because the theme lets you be so general. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
Come on, you've done this before.
3. WHEN WRITING FOR SOMEONE, REPLY TO THEIR COMMENT AND HAVE: FANDOM/ CHARACTER/ TITLE/ RATING in the subject line.
4. Do I have to write for this if I prompt?
Erm... No.
It'd be nice if you did.
But I often steal icons from people and I have no intention of learning how to make graphics.
Hence, the crappy graphics made by me.
BUT FEEDBACK FROM YOU IS ALWAYS NICE.
5. NO FANDOM WANK.
Seriously.
You'll just be ignored and deleted. And I've been told that's the best way to deal with bullies, so watch out is all I'm saying.
Ships and characters are precious, don't break other people's toys.
6. SPOILERS ARE A GIVEN. Don't bitch.
7. PIMP. PIMP. PIMP.
If you are graphically-capable, please make me a banner.
I need the help.
OBVIOUSLY.
OH AND HAVE FUN.
BE FLAILY AND CREATIVE.
BE WONDERFUL AND GEEKY. AND FREAKY. AND YAAAAAAAAAAAAY: GO GO GO
