The Fandom Mashup Challenge

Title: Indian Summer
Pairing: Bobby/Rogue
Summary: "You going to put a shirt on?" Rogue asked, trying to sound nonchalant.
Timeline/Spoilers: Post-X3. Spoilers for the entire trilogy.
Author's Notes: For Shanelle in the fandom_mashup. This fic uses the setting from India, the characters from Sidelines, and the plot from Unmentionables.
( Indian Summer )

I be pinch hitting for kyuuketsukirui tonight, using fics from her index found here, for the fandom_mashup challenge. Each individual title doesn’t have its own link, kinda like my own site. SO GO READ HER STUFF ALTOGETHER. It’s quite kewl. :))

Fics used for this here mashup: “Unexpected Consequences” by kyuuketsukirui, “The Kind of Question” by kyuuketsukirui, and “A Miracle Baby” by kyuuketsukirui.

This is written in the style of “The Miracle Baby”, seeing as I just read it aloud to my husband, laughing my arse off. Jesus, kyuuketsukirui... too funny...

That’s the only justification for this story. It’s a bit condensed... er, not that it really matters... I hope I don't insult anyone.

( 'Mac and cheese, Madeira Cake and Tim Tams'; rated R for ridiculousness and SEX. )

We had 18 participants in our first mashup challenge. 10 of those posted on time (or the next day, including myself, doh), 5 of those have notified me they'll be late, and 3 dropped out completely. Of the dropouts, two cancelled each other out, having been assigned to each other because no one else shared that fandom, and one was to mashup my own fic. I have decided that rather than scramble for a pinch hitter, I'm not going to worry about getting my fic mashed up. For me, the fun of participating was in writing the fic. I've had an incredibly fun time, and while of course I am curious as to what someone would do with my fic, it's not that important.

So! Hopefully the last five fics should trickle in soon. As I said in the original post, this is not an exchange so much as an opportunity to write some really cool fic, so I'm not going to be riding people to get them to post by a certain date.

I'm quite happy with the way this went, and I hope you'll all consider participating again next year, and maybe we can even get a larger crowd.

If you had fun with this and don't want to wait a whole year to do something like it again, we also have revisit_me, which is not a challenge, but just a place where you can browse through and see who has offered their fics up for mashing/remixing/whatevering, and write if you want. Or post with a list of your own fics.

Have pinch hitters been assigned? I'm available for such if not.

Rating: PG
Fics Used: Richard the Third, Act Two, Scene Three, Line Sixteen by alixtii, Je me souviens by alixtii, Facing The Shadows. Would just like to take a minute to commend alixtii for the wonderful fics; all of the ones that I read (and I read as many as I could manage) were fantastic, and I'm sorry I couldn't do them better justice here.

Boys, After Hours
Author: telesilla
Fandom: Lotrips
Characters: Billy Boyd/Orlando Bloom
Word Count: 3.551 words
Rating: NC-17
Disclaimer: Not RL; didn't happen. If you think this has anything to do with the real actors involved, then you need to put down the crack pipe.
Summary: While in San Francisco to shoot a movie, Orlando visits a sex toy store and meets Billy, who proves to be rather good at guessing his customer's kinks.

Notes: Written for fandom_mashup this is a mashup of three different fics by v_angelique. I took the somewhat unusual pairing from After Hours, the basic set up from Boys and Their Toys and the thing with the strawberry from Happy Birthday, Puppy. Many thanks go to v_angelique for participating in the challenge and to darkrosetiger for the last minute beta. For what it's worth, this ended up being the longest solo fic I've finished in this fandom.
