Prime Time Desserts - January
The Prime Time Desserts collection is now open for posting. Criteria for fics are medium-sized fandoms, over a thousand words, completed, and in English. If you're unsure of what constitutes a medium-sized fandom for Prime Time Desserts, you can check out the tag set from the 2014 round (some fandoms may have grown to megafandom status since then) or the NPT eligibility post.
The sky's the limit when it comes to these prompts. Take them however you want:
Hurt/Comfort: "Hurt/comfort is a fan fiction genre that involves the physical pain or emotional distress of one character, who is cared for by another character. The injury, sickness or other kind of hurt allows an exploration of the characters and their relationship" (Fanlore article). But maybe you prefer your hurt/comfort with more hurt instead of comfort. Or maybe you prefer to go a different route and like more comfort instead of hurt.
Gen: "A fanwork that contains no romantic or sexual content, either het (heterosexual) or slash (homosexual)" (Fanlore article). Characters out on adventures or solving a mystery may be what you like. Or writing about character introspection or their backstory. Maybe you're more into "bob" as gen - "a recent term used by some fanfic writers as a variance of gen to indicate a story that has sexual elements or pairings, but those are not central" (Fanlore article) - and want to write about your favorite slash/femslash/het pairing, focusing more on their gen adventure.
Song Lyrics: Songs can inspire a writer from its music or from the lyrics themselves. Whatever part of the song it is that inspires you, or if you want to to try and fit actual lyrics into your fill, or title your fic with a song lyric or summarize your fic with a song title, these are all acceptable.
Renewal: This theme can be taken in plenty of different ways. Maybe you prefer starting fresh with a character's profession, relationships, locations, or just starting anew in something else entirely. Change is the name of the game unless you prefer a confirmation that you want more of the same.
Prime Time Desserts also comes with extra desserts in the form of opt-in achievement desserts. If you want to opt-in for desserts, you can comment on any Prime Time Dessert post with your fics (the easiest way to do this is clicking the Share button at the top of your fic and copy/pasting that information to a Prime Time Desserts post) along with what theme(s) they were written for and, at the end of each month, fics will be tallied up and achievements will be given out. The categories are hidden until someone achieves one and the achievements are posted at the end of each month.
