'Welcome to 'Unconventional Courtship 2024'!
Come join our eleventh round and over a decade of proud trope subversion.




'Unconventional Courtship' is a panfandom fic fest where you write and post a 1000w+ fic based on a M&B/Harlequin plot. Fics will be posted to this community, staggered through June 2024.

This year's mod is [personal profile] liadt.

How to play:

It's as simple as:

1. Sign up! Sign ups close on June 14 and all you need to do is comment on this post with the day you want to post your fic. You can tell us which summary/pairing you're going with, but you don't have to. You can also ask us to assign you a summary, if you want. You don't need a Dreamwidth account to play - just comment with OpenID, although you will need to ask us to post your fic on the com. If you are on DW, please follow the community.

2. Choose a M&B/Harlequin summary (or two etc) - we have hundreds of suggestions here, but there are literally thousands. Our prompt generator may also help (thank you [personal profile] john_amend_all) You can do more than one fic, if you want. You can also combine prompts, if you like.

3. Replace the names (and pronouns if necessary) with the names (and pronouns) of the pairing of your choice. Any any all fandoms and pairings are welcome in this fest.

You can also replace place names and jobs as long as you keep to the spirit of the prompt. So, if you want to write Kirk/Spock, but you don't want to write a modern day AU, you could replace 'the Sahara desert' with 'a desert planet' and Kirk wouldn't need to be the boss at a law firm, he could be the boss... in the sense that he's the captain.

4. Complete a fic based on your altered summary. You can take the prompt seriously or use it as an improbable basis for lols.

4.5. Pimp the fest far and wide. I'm hardly going to do this at all, so it's up to you - the players! I've re-uploaded the make-your-own banners and of course you can use ready made ones found over here and here.

Please do pimp where ever you think would be appropriate.

5. Post to this community on your assigned day. If you unable to post on your day there is a amnesty week for those that sign up from July 1 - 7.

You can also post to our AO3 collection if you want.

You can read examples of Unconventional Courtship fic by looking through the collection, or by going through masterposts in the comm.

6. Profit! Fics and art for all! I'll post a masterlist once all the entries are in. Crossposting is encouraged.

Any questions? Leave a comment or PM me.


Rules:

1. All fics must be over 1,000 words long.

2. You must use a modified Mills & Boon and/or Harlequin summary.

3. You don't have to use a beta.

4. Please use the following header (or similar - the AO3 share function is fine) when you post to the community:



5. Please post on your assigned day. If you can't for whatever reason, please let me know either by commenting on this post or by PM.

6. You can use this fic for another challenge i.e. [community profile] trope_bingo

7. You can sign up for any day you like, but if it is possible for you to sign up for a day that nobody else is interested in then that'd be best of all.

Still haven't decided if I go with an Italian Highlander or a Flemish sheikh, but either way it'll probably be fun!
