SlashaBaby 2011 signups now open!

Sign-ups for 2011 [livejournal.com profile] slashababy -- the LotR RPS story exchange since 2002 -- are now open! A chance to give and get a fanfic gift, and share with the whole fandom!

The rules are the same as previous years -- all participants get an assignment to write for another participant, matched so that everyone has pairings and themes that appeal to them. Each story should be at least 1,000 words, though there is no maximum: some people have written epics (good ones!). The stories are due on Boxing Day, and we'll post them on New Year's Eve. Everyone gets a chance to read the stories and leave comments, including guessing who wrote them, as we won't reveal the authors until January 6.

Check out previous years' stories at [livejournal.com profile] slashababy and sign up today!

  • Sign-ups start today and end on October 31
  • Assignments will be sent out by November 6
  • The deadline for submissions is December 26
  • Stories will be posted on December 31
  • Authors will be revealed on January 6

Are pairings allowed to include non lotr boys (my love of choice is Eric Bana)

[identity profile] feelforfaith.livejournal.com 2011-10-19 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, you can include a non-LOTR actor, but in that case please also provide a LOTR pairing(s) as a second choice.

Requested pairings: Eric Bana/Viggo would be awesome but Orlando/Sean B., Karl/Sean B., Karl/Viggo or Bernard/Sean B. are great as well.
Requested genres: (well, some of this is only sort of a genre :)) contemporary AUs, NZ timed fic, smut, and/or est!relationship. I'm not much for angst, h/c and really kinky stuff.
Pairings and/or genres you absolutely will not write: I can write any combination of Karl, Orlando, Sean B., Harry, Viggo, Eric Bana, Dave and probably Bernard as well, from Gen to NC17. I don't write angst, character death, historical AUs, hardcore kink or h/c
Willing to be backup? If I have the time, sure

Email: aretinaaretina@hotmail.com
Requested pairings: Any combination of Billy, Dom, Elijah, Viggo, Liv, Cait, Miranda, Ian McKellen, Sean B., paired however you like, or even as part of an ensemble fic if that is what moves you. In terms of gen characters there is no one I dislike-- I just don't have strong feelings about slashing/pairing them up. My OTP remains Billy/Dom but I've read and written and enjoyed other pairings as well.
Requested genres: Anything but angst/violence. Other than that it's all good.
Pairings and/or genres you absolutely will not write: I can't be counted on for any kind of specific AU since my genre knowledge is really lacking. Given the history of this exchange I almost feel silly for saying this but just in case-- no horror/dark/violent genres. I don't write Sean A, and outside of the list of characters above I don't really have a good feel for how I would write anyone else. Within that list it's all fine.
Willing to be backup? Yes.

I'd really like to sign up for this, but I'm uncomfortable unlocking my fic (it's all private on my journal). Considering this is a straight gift fic thing and not a remix, and also that I have contributed in the past (http://slashababy.livejournal.com/98610.html), is that a problem?

Requested pairings: any M/M from LOTR, and this year, I wouldn't mind a hobbit of any stripe with a Big Man that might include Karl and/or uber sexy Marton without his blonde wig.
Requested genres: PG to N17, anything you're comfortable with including AUs, RPS, FPS.
Pairings and/or genres you absolutely will not write: no non-con or sub/dom, no Harry or David because I don't know them, no AUs that involve outer space. I don't know these worlds. No FPS as I'm not strong on canon.
Willing to be backup? Wish I could say yes, but no.

Requested pairings: any two (or three, or whatever) of the following: Viggo, Sean, Orlando, Karl, Marton, Sala, Lawrence, Craig, Harry, Eric, Johnny
Requested genres: Pretty much anything except a PWP or a songfic. I really like plot, and some BDSM would be a great bonus but don't worry about it if you're not into it. Humor is awesome if you're comfortable with it; there's not enough good humor in fanfic. :D
Pairings and/or genres you absolutely will not write: John, Bernard, and the Hobbit guys, and no femslash. Het is fine.
Willing to be backup? No

Requested pairings: Elijah/Dom
Requested genres: I love AUs, fluff, angst with happy endings, porn...I like most everything except fellow actor bashing (like sean astin bashing) and it can be sad/angsty as long as it has a happy ending :D
Pairings and/or genres you absolutely will not write: I prefer hobbit-n-orli fic, though i can write viggo and karl, i'm just not as good at it. Probably can't write the other "men" too well. I can write the women - liv and miranda - though. Genres - I don't like to write things too dark/death fic or anything with too much D/s kind of stuff.

Requested pairings: any combination (including threesomes or more) of Orlando, Elijah, Karl, Viggo, Sean Bean, and Billy
Requested genres: I really want pr0n, preferably with a bit of bondage, maybe some heavier kink, if you're up to it, I like Orlando with long hair . . and a nice dash of dirty talk
Pairings and/or genres you absolutely will not write: I feel comfortable with mostly everyone but I really do not want to write Sean A.

Requested pairings: My favorite pairings are VigBean, Viggo/Billy, and Viggo or Bean with Karl; I'd take anything with Viggo, Bean, Billy or Karl paired with anyone except Orlando, Astin or John (the big exception would be Billy/Orlando)
Requested genres: I can take some angst but it must be resolved by the end (I'm definitely a happily-ever-after kind of girl). Would prefer the focus be on the relationship and not just on sex. No character death or dom/sub or bdsm. Love NZ fic and AUs so very flexible there.
Pairings and/or genres you absolutely will not write: I can't write bdsm, pwp or anything where the focus is on sex; I'm only good at mild angst; won't write VigOrli; would prefer not to write Orlando, Astin or John paired with anyone but I can write Orlando as part of a pairing. I'm a G and PG kind of writer, I'm afraid.
Willing to be backup? I'm sorry, no.

Requested pairings: Billy/Dom - I do enjoy other pairings as well (Elijah/Dom can be interesting.) I'm just a total sucker for Billy/Dom.
Requested genres:First time scenarios are a favorite, hurt/comfort, 'smut' with angst and emotions.
Pairings and/or genres you absolutely will not write: Definitely no minors - not a fan of violence or torture stuff. Prefer slash to anything else.

AND it occurred to me after writing the above I should probably define violence for me.

I like male fisticuffs and generalized testosterone infused interactions. I don't like to envision people injured or hurt in horrific ways - not my thing. A little bit of 'enforced' sexuality is ALWAYS fun, however. (Hides eyes...)

Requested pairing(s): I'm going simple this year: I'd very much like Viggo/Bean, or if that's not your thing, Lawrence/Sala, Harry/Karl or Miranda/Cate. No Orlando, please.
Requested genre: Something happy would be lovely, seasonal or otherwise. I'm fond of dogs (real ones, not puppyplay), established relationship fic and informal BDSM, although don't feel they're required. Not big on schmoop or diminutive nicknames, and please no spelled-out accents or character bashing (not even under the guise of humour).
Pairings and/or genres you absolutely will not write: VigOrli and OrliBean. Actually, I'm not that comfortable writing Viggo or Bean with Hobbits or Elves. I'm most comfortable writing Men, but I'm willing to take a stab at most pairings outside of the ones I've specifically named and eliminated here (although I'd rather not write Orlando at all this time).
Willing to be backup? Unfortunately not this year, no.

Requested Pairings: Viggo Mortensen, Sean Bean, David Wenham, Harry Sinclair, Karl Urban, Craig Parker, Miranda Otto, Lawrence Makoare and Sala Baker in any combination. Twosomes (or more-somes) are fine too. No Orlando or Hobbits, please.
Requested Genre: NC-17 fic or hard R fic that is heavy on the kink make me smile. BDSMy kink is especially good, though I’m more fond of elements of that than the highly ritualized D/s exchanges. If those things aren’t you’re thing, I'm also fine with non-BDSMy fics that are heavy on the passion and sensuality. I’m not much for schmoop, curtain fic, men who act like teenaged girls, or overly cute and cuddly nicknames or dialogue. Love and relationships are fine; preciousness, not so much.
Pairings/genres you absolutely will not write: I’m most comfortable writing pairings involving the folks in my request. No Orlando or Hobbits please.
Willing to be backup? Potentially. I’m not sure what my schedule will be like until then, so feel free to ask.
