Innle's Self-Imposed Fairytale Challenge
My spiel? Basically, I was frustrated that I was only writing very sporadically (for example, after Contracts exams, as with A Void Dance). I'm fascinated by fairy-tale reinterpretation and its interplay with both fanfiction and archetypal stories. Somewhere in all this abstract stuff, I managed to decide something concrete: to challenge myself to write fics that contained at least an element of fairytale. These are the result. The challenge is ongoing and I'll quite happily consider suggestions.
Neville and the Beanstalk Scheherazade Malfoy Moving Pictures When Worlds Collide:
or, The Inadvertent Two-For-One Challenge
I was bored. Exams were on. I was procrastinating. Scorpysue had just participated in a challenge (and done a damn fine job on it). I'm a sucker for a challenge.
I wrote this in half an hour (can't you tell?), and found it didn't only mostly fit the Writing Sound criteria, but also the Self-Imposed Fairytale Challenge rubric. I have fairytales on the brain. It kind of sucks, and it's got a suspicious innle-projecting flavour to it....here it is, anyway.
Rated, er, G.

Carpet and Acid and Bogans, Oh My! by Innle
Two madwomen. One fandom. No mercy. That's right, this is a challenge. The worst.challenge.ever. Who will survive the orgy of sex, drugs and bad fantasy authors? Can Hermione get her groove back? Why is Ron reading Noam Chomsky? Will Harry ever get over the image of Aunt Petunia as a gangsta? Is it true that nobody likes, nobody likes, nobody likes a bogan? What the hell is a bogan, anyway? Avert your eyes, gentle reader. Hard-core reader, come on down! The price, as they say, is indeed right. It's rock bottom, as is the literary career of the author, who now needs to go have a good lie down.
