It's Porn Battle time again! Prompts are being collected until 6pm GMT tomorrow (Saturday), then the pornage begins!

There are already 16 comment-filled pages full of prompts, ranging from The Usual Boring Pairings to some rare pairings and rare-er fandoms.

Things that are cracking me up so far, looking at the prompts --

A *disturbing* number of RPF for US politics, especially centered around the Obamas and the Bidens.

A bunch of "anthropomorphic" prompts. One person put "Dr. Pepper" in a prompt like this. All I could think was, "Hi, I'm bubbly and taste nasty!"

The people who post ONE pairing in ONE fandom, and it's a cliche pairing for said fandom, and then about 50 word-prompts for said pairing. (Because, you know, there's just such so tough finding porn for SGA john/rodney or SPN Wincest. But I'm not bitter. :-P)


Of all the prompts I put up, I really want to see this: "Doctor Who, Donna/Nine, tolerate". I may have to do it myself, as I have this burning urge to hear Nine yelling at Donna, "HOW THE #%*()_ DOES HE PUT UP WITH YOU?!?!"

One of my stories [the really kinky one (well, really kinky for me)], has been nominated for an SGA Kink Award.

I'm kinda embarrassed to say this, but -- I didn't nominate myself here :-). I dunno who nominated me, but wow. Just having someone else nominate something I wrote is awesome.

Of course I cannot (and would not!) tell you go to vote for me. I would tell you that if you have any kinky leanings at all, you should go read the stories there. Some of my favorites are there. Note that there's a guide to what the categories mean, and any seriously hard stuff (like blood, etc.) are notably warned about.

Voting runs through 4/25. Vote early, vote often :-P.

p.s. ION I am way totally behind on reading LJ again, but things should settle back down soon. I'm moved, I'm trying to get up to speed in the new job, I'm just a giant stressball! WHEE. Let me know if you've done or seen something you think I should take note of, gimme a link or two, let me know someone remembers who I am! :-P

When oxoniensis started gathering prompts for Porn Battle V I somehow got the impression that she was getting more than swamped, so I offered to help her out. After all, I'm unemployed with free time, insane, used to sorting prompts thanks to brain_asplode and, oh yes, insane.

I sorted all the crossovers, the RPF and the "Bandom" stuff. (And, yes, there are still mistakes in those areas, and I feel stupid everytime I see them. Bah.)

Now I must rant about "Bandom" -- my apologies if you are part of this, but for the most part, I would like these people to go out and chew ground glass. About halfway through, oxoniensis added to the prompts post reminding people that if their prompts weren't properly formatted they'd be tossed, and the Bandom people *still* put up stuff that was sometimes so malformed there was NO WAY of guessing what they were asking for. I must have thrown out at least a dozen prompts (mostly, but not all, from one person who Just Couldn't Get It), and it made me sad.


Outside of the stuff that was just unintelligble, there was the fun of trying to sort and remove and/or gather duplicates. I spent a good 2-3 hours with Wikipedia trying to figure things out, because often giving last names helped to sort out duplicates, especially in the Bandom Crossovers (insert major groan here). But when you see
Bandom, Band-name, Joe/Bob, whatever
and Wikipedia says there is NOBODY NAMED BOB in that band...
or even more fun
Bandom, Band-name, Joe/Joseph, whatever
and Wikipedia helpfully points out that there used to be a Joe in the band, who left a year ago, but that there are currently now *two* Josephs in the band...

Yes, you write Bandom? Here's your ground glass.



Anyway, as a thank you, oxoniensis sent me a gold star, which is in my profile, for the next 2 weeks the mail said :). Whee! I am so amused. Nobody's given me a gold star since I was in 5th grade, and that was... 35 years ago? Something like that ;).

And I actually wrote, too! I wrote
Pineapple (Ocean's 11, Danny/Rusty, oral fixation, pineapple), which is the second time I've written a prompt for Rusty from Ocean's 11 and oral fixation.

And then I wrote Just Desserts (Crossover: Stargate Atlantis/Stargate SG-1, Rodney McKay/Cameron Mitchell, "revenge/dessert"), which is kind of a tag to the SG-1 S10 episode "The Pegasus Project", and which is still making me giggle. I make myself laugh too much.

I might write more. But for now - speaking of brain_asplode time to put the new pairings list up there! Laterz!

p.s. Go read the porn battle stories if you haven't. If you want to add a story, she's had to start a 2nd page 'cause everyone's writing! Be a joiner! And write something for brain_asplode too :-P.

update: and I also wrote Little Surprise (Crossover, Babylon 5/Stargate SG-1, Susan Ivanova/Ba'al, BOOM). Hee.

Voting is going on over at sgdiverse_award, the award for rare slash & femslash (& 3somes & moresomes etc. etc. etc) stories.

I can't tell you who to vote for, but I can point out that some of my more favorite authors are nominated for stuffs - sometimes 'cause I nominated 'em :-P.


Each vote poll page has a link back to the list of stories that are listed; that secondary page has links to each story.

Actually, I'm finding my del.icio.us bookmarks are really helping here; I can click on a pairing and have a list of stories I've bookmarked show up, at least with a genre if not a summary and/or quote.

Anyway, I encourage you to at the very least vote for stories of your favorite pairing(s) and/or groupings.

All of the male/male vote polls are listed here, and master lists for f/f and multis will be up as soon as the relevaant polls are all posted.

oxoniensis, she of the porn battles, is hosting a Hugs, Cuddles & Kisses comment-fic thingy until Sunday, 4/15 at about 4pm EST.

I'm trying to write for it but
a) not feeling very well (actually spent all day exhausted in bed after spending all yesterday in can't-walk pain)

b) most of the prompts just aren't doing it for me (maybe I'll be stupid and write my own prompts. They're all *weird*).

c) the "r" key on my keyboard is starting to fail.


Among the prompts I submitted:

Battlestar Galactica, Kara Thrace & Karl Agathon, winning and losing

Firefly, Mal & Wash, all work and no play
Firefly, Jayne/River, hiding in the shadows

Stargate Atlantis, Caldwell & Hermiod, bombs
Stargate Atlantis, Sheppard & Kavanagh, hair

Stargate SG-1, Vala & Siler, bandage

War of the Worlds (tv), Suzanne McCullough/Paul Ironhorse / Harrison Blackwood, dare

Crossover, Babylon 5 / Firefly, Susan Ivanova/Malcolm Reynolds, water

Crossover, Star Trek: DS9 / Stargate SG-1, Miles O'Brien & Sgt Siler, tools

Crossover, Stargate SG-1 / Stargate Atlantis, Ba'al / Lorne, snark

[& the winner of the "I will probably have to write it anyway":]
Crossover, Buckaroo Banzai / War of the Worlds (tv), Buckaroo Banzai & Harrison Blackwood, anger

because if you know BB & have seen the WotW series, it'd make sense

[So far (that I've seen) only one of my prompt has been used, purple_cube wrote from SGA, Teyla/Lorne, cards.]

If you didn't catch it, the nominations are open for the sgdiverse_award awards for any femmeslash, boyslash or 3some+ stories
- EXCEPT McShep
and ONLY crossovers allowed are with SG1.

Go forth and nominate something. Only available until 4/15.

sgdiverse_award is doing awards for M/M slash, F/F slash, and 3-&-moresomes.

Crossovers allowed only into the SG1 universe.

If you've read something(s) you think should be nominated, go forth and do so. Go, go, go.

3daychallenge is doing a fuzzy bathrobe challenge. any fandom, as long as a bathrobe is involved anywhere. "bedhead desired but not required." See the post for further details.
