journalmemes | February Challenge: 28+1 Genres

A special Leap Year fanfiction challenge, created by

autistic-lesamis! Each day has one or two genres to write in. This includes formatting like poems and 5+1, popular AUs like Soulmates and Coffee Shop, and your traditional fluff/angst/feels of course. They can be any length for the most part (drabble or three sentence fic is one of the days), any fandom, the only requirement is that they fit the genre (or one of the genres) of the day.

The list is under the cut, with descriptions of the genre itself.

1. Fluff

Make your audience go “d'awwwww….”

2. Fix-It Fic or Canon Divergence

Two ways to change that one thing that bothers you the most about canon.

3. Patchwork

Create an ensemble cast all from different adaptations.

4. Academic AU

High School, College, Teachers, Professors, etc.

5. Continuation or Missing Scene

Add to the ending or the middle.

6. Poem or Song Fic

Write a fic in the form of a poem or fit the plot to the lyrics of something already written.

7. Angst

Put your characters through the ringer.

8. Backstory

Make up something we don’t know to fill in the gaps.

9. Next Gen

What happens to the people who come after?

10. Coffee Shop AU

Do they work there? Did they meet there? Do they have a dream of owning their own? Up to you.

11. Elsewhere

Tell us what some extras were doing during important moments in canon.

12. Log Fic

Captain’s logs, chatrooms, texts…. Give us the deets!

13. Hurt/Comfort or Hurt No Comfort

Exactly what it says on the tin.

14. Peggy Sue or Groundhog Day

Have them do it all over again, either once or again and again and again.

15. Fusion or Crossover

You know when you were a kids mashing toys together, making them kiss or fight? That but with fandoms.

In a Crossover, characters from both worlds live in the same one.

In a Fusion, characters from one world live in the other and do not interact with characters from that world’s original canon.

16. Soulmate AU

Names, timers, tattoos, bonds… Whatever it is, everyone or almost everyone has a soul mate and a way to find them.

17. Feels

Make your audience cry with emotion. Any emotion.

18. De-Aging or Reverse De-aging

When adult characters are turned into kids or child characters are turned into grown ups.

19. Drabble or Three Sentence Fic

A fic of exactly 100 words or exactly 3 sentences - no more, no less. It’s harder than you think.

20. Anthropomorfic or Mythological AU

Are they werecreatures or just humans with creature-like features?

21. Superpowers AU or Hogwarts AU

Gryffindor? Ravenclaw? Hufflepuff? Avenger?

22. Romance or PWP

Make it steamy or not, it’s up to you.

23. Amnesia Fic

Someone’s missing some memories.

24. Crack Fic

Imagine silly string but it’s a story - hilarious but serves no real purpose.

25. Rule 63 or Body Swap

Genderbend or Freaky Friday? Or both…?

26. 5+1 Things

Five times I wrote this description and one time I actually liked it

.27. Pregnancy or Kid Fic

Either they have kids that they don’t in canon or they soon will.

28. Mystery or Horror

Or a mystery horror…?

+1. AU of Your Choice

There are plenty on the list, but way more out there. Go write one!
