The Loneliness Of Madmen
Ebony's Challenge Page
This page is home to all the Plot Bunnies that come and trip me on my way to bed... or to the dining hall... to work... to class... to the loo... You get the idea. The point is, there are so many bunnies jumping up out of the woodwork, that I can't take care of them all! Won't you adopt some?
So it works like this, you choose a challenge (or two, or three, or all of them) and you write it.  Once it's done, email me and tell me, and I'll either post it up here or put a link to it if you'd rather have it on your own site.  Sound like fun?

Short Story Challenge: (inspired by the song "Turning Japanese") Somewhere in the story must be the line, "I think I'm masturbating. Not actually sure, though. But I might be."

Short Story Challenge: First line- "I have alcohol stuck in my head."

Songfic Challenge: Harry Potter- The Shrieking Shack somehow earns the nickname "The Love Shack".

Songfic Challenge: The Highlander- "The Time To Remember"

Songfic Challenge: The Highlander- "When I'm Sixty-Four"
 
Songfic Challenge:  LotR or Harry Potter- from the soundtrack of Aida "My Strongest Suit".

Fanfic Challenge: Harry Potter- Severus Snape is the victim of a botched assassination attempt and finds his soul flung from his body. A muggle-born ESPer whose talents include being a medium is vacationing in London and suddenly finds the snarky Potions Master has taken up residence in his/her mind.

Fanfic Challenge: LotR- The nine Nazgul once were human kings. They lived, they loved, they laughed, they cried. What were they like before Sauron corrupted them to darkness? Was it really only the offer of power that seduced them into accepting the Nine Rings?

Fanfic Challenge: LotR- The Mirkwood Elf King meets Jareth, The Goblin King (ever seen the movie The Labyrinth?). A disgruntled nanny or caretaker wishes the goblins would come and take infant prince Legolas away... Right now. King Thranduil won't take this lying down and enters the Labyrinth to win his son back. But when he makes it to the castle, Jareth doesn't want to give Legolas up! After all, how often do you come across an Elf prince? Can Thranduil offer something in exchange for the safe return of his son? The higher the rating, the more I'll love you. Bonus points for working in the songs. No PWPs, no spoofs, no parodies, please.

Fanfic Challenge: LotR- Just Legolas with a little tattoo on him (I was thinking along the lines of his bum) that proclaims him the property of so-and-so. But Legolas doesn't know it's there. Someone put it there while he was like... sleeping or something... and someone spots it. And reports it to someone. And news spreads about the infamous tattoo and EVERYone wants to see it for themselves to believe it. And just wait until his darling Ada finds out! Any length, any pairing. And while I can't really see how this would work without being a parody of some sort, extra points if you manage it to be a serious fic!

Fanfic Challenge: Harry Potter- Severus Snape is a spy, right? Imagine if Sev were more the kind of spy like Bond. James Bond. *devilish smile* Bonus points if you get names like Pussy Galore!

Fanfic Challenge: Harry Potter- An accident in the potions lab causes Severus to become physically disabled (was thinking maybe blinded?  Some sort of paralisis works too). How does he deal with it? How does it affect the people around him and how they treat him? Can take place at any time period; he can heal or the damage can be permanent. I expect a hurt/comfort angst piece that will cause my Snape-muse to hide under the blanket with a teddy bear.

Fanfic Challenge: Harry Potter- The teachers of Hogwarts (or most of them) are the kind of coffee addicts where you just cant start your day without the morning cuppa. Some pranksters decide to switch the coffee for decaf for a fortnight. Just long enough for the teachers to get over caffeine-withdrawal and adjust to life without caffeine. Then our lovable pranksters trade the decaf for espresso. Extra points for giving the teachers chocolate-covered espresso beans. Can we say bouncy? I knew you could. (^_~)

Fanfic Challenge: Harry Potter- All these stories I read with Wormtail being a schmuck right from the get-go. I don't think it's right. If Peter Petegrew were so pathetic, spineless and coniving as I keep reading, why would Sirius, James and Remus include him? Hell, how'd he get into Gryffindor, if that were the case?? He had to have been an ok guy at the beginning, in my opinion. I want to know what made Wormtail turn on his friends. Was it threats from the Death Eaters? We know he has a mother, but what about his father? Did he have any siblings? What about a lover? What makes a man who'd lay his life on the line every month for his friends suddenly turn on them?

Fanfic Challenge: Harry Potter- a conversation with my roommate yeilded the question of when and where did Godric Griffindor and Salazar Slythrin meet. My Answer: "um... they met... uh.... in a brothel... they were both lost.. and needed directions... Helga and Rowena were coming to promote women's liberation and free the whores... after some misunderstandings, they all decided to work together and became friends." Now she says it needs to be written. Wanna help me?
 
Fanfic Challenge: Harry Potter- Well, my friend and I had another conversation last night over IM... two things got said.  One was an action by yours truely, one was a comment about my friend's day, which involved her cooking vast amounts of food in giant pots she likened to cauldrons.  These things inspire.  The fic must have this (or similar) action: *licks rather phallic, griffindor-red push-pop and smirks lasvisously at Remus and Sirius... much to Sev's disgust*  And it must have something fitting this discription:  "I swear! the pot/cauldron thing was big enough to probably fit you and me comfortably with room to spare for a house elf or two"  Bonus points for dialogue roughly based on it.  ^_~
 
Fanfic Challenge:  Harry Potter- First, consider the logic of this strip - http://boymeetsboy.keenspace.com/d/20010827.html-  Then, consider the Houses Griffindor and Slytherin.  Consider then, the Roman past-time of The Bacchanalia.  Have fun!

Lately I've been toying with the idea of giving a gift for the first person to answer one of my challenges.  Probably based on what is submitted.  How about one for the first Song-fic, and one for the first Fanfic, and one for the first Original short story? Sephiroth thinks it's a good idea!
