Alrighty, how this will work will be pretty simple. This challenge is about having different authors take turns with a single badfic, and seeing if anyone calls us on the BS and/or how ridiculous we can make a fanfic. Everyone who is signed up to write will write one chapter and email/PM it to me. I will post it on a brand new FF.net account (which I've already made).
Those who are participating either PM me (I would prefer that actually) or post in this thread.
1.) I'll keep sign ups open until the 7th, though we'll start writing as soon as we figure out which fandom we're writing for.
2.) The order will be chosen randomly. If we go through the entire month of December with everyone writing at least once, we'll start again with the first person who's written, keeping the same order.
3.) The person who is writing will have three days to send in a chapter, which will need to either be PM'd to me or emailed, depending upon how long it is. With how FF.net works, I think I'd prefer an email.
4.) I will post it to one new FF account. I will not be participating in the actual writing--I'll just keep to the posting of chapters.
5.) Since it's a challenge, maybe at the end have a poll to see whose the worst is? Or I don't know... I thought of this just for fun.
6.) Profit.
I'm going to go through and find some popular fandoms now and post a poll within the hour so we can pick which fandom to write in.
For the writing itself? Keep it M. No pron, or at least no explicit pron. Other than that, I don't care. Just make it horrible! Hell, throw in weird crossovers if you want.
I've been trying all morning to make a poll and it's either broken or I need more sleep. So, here is a list of the fandoms which have over 10,000 stories posted to them, ensuring that we will get a good audience. I also threw in a couple other fandoms which are in the public eye at the moment *coughcoughTwilightcoughcough*. You do NOT have to know anything about the fandom to write for it! I'm going to put a minimum of 300 words for each chapter written, no maximum. You need to add your own author's note if you want them as well as chapter titles. I will not be adding to the chapters in any way (although Waffles--a quick warning. Please don't put in 'maxxles' and 'femxxles' and suchlike. I will change that to men and women, since--while liberated--it's obvious troll language and other people wouldn't understand it). The first one to write gets to name the fic as well.
For fandom selection purposes, please go vote in theweirdkind's poll thread for this. For some really weird reason, I can't make a poll.
For those people who have cast their votes already, please recast under weird's poll. Sorry for the confusion and trouble, guys.

EDIT: More thoughts. We could keep the fic secret from the rest of the boards, which fandom we're writing for, and who wrote which chapter. At the end of the month, other people could try and guess which story it is, and who wrote which chapter? Just a thought anyway.
