It's that time of year again, karaokegal's Third Annual “Come As You’re Not” fanfic costume party.  

Last year I came up with (at the time) terribly atypical costume of a crossover.  It was something I'd never done before and wound up morphing into a 12k epic, a length I've only reached once since (for my bigbang).  But this year, I'm clueless.  Crossovers have become commonplace for me, as have writing in different fandoms other than TW/DW.  I've written dark, slash, AU, even touched on het with a few drabbles.

So, what am I not?  HELP!!!!

If you want a real challenge, go for 1st person present. It's a real battle to get it readable, but it's worth the effort.

Or what about something that's pure angst? Your stories always have humour and/or a happy ending. What about something really bleak? We'd never recognise you...

oooh, now there's an idea. Utterly bleak and depressing. Not what people tend to think of from me

Definitely not! I wrote angst for last year's and it's hard. Worth the effort, but so difficult not to slip in the joke or note of hope. They came out quite well, but still. It made a half-decent costume :D

your drabble set for the party was really great. it made me seek out chocolate, but it was great!

please please don't do utterly bleak! I'll pimp you to some new fandoms instead!!
