Party Time!!

[donutsweeper]

It's time for the Fourth Annual “Come As You’re Not” fanfic costume party!

What kind of costume party is this you ask? Every year karaokegal hosts a Halloween party with the idea that you should write something you normally wouldn't. Never written a crossover before? Now's the time to give one a try. Always write slash? Write gen. Or het. Write a cliché. Dip your toes into a fandom you've never tried before. Etc, etc. But most of all HAVE FUN.

Personally, I had a blast writing for the '07 and '08 parties, writing my first crossover ever (and learned I love writing crossovers and have written more than 80 since then) and my first attempt at truly diverging from canon for an alternate ending to an episode. I'm still not sure what costume I'll wear for the '09 party, but I hope to see lots of you there!

Oh, that's right, but it was a small fic. You could do a longer or plottier one. Or a NCIS/West Wing crossover then? A threesome would definitely work. For atypical crossovers what about a kid's show and NCIS? Or a fantasy/scifi show and a 'regular' one?

I've read plenty of stories like that- or NCIS in Roman times with Gibbs as a centurion and Tony his slave- or whatever. I've never written anything like that.
