The end result will be hilariously funny and not written by me.

Holy Cow,er Moley, er, oh my!!!

Love to read that, but not write it.

James

Had a crazy idea to further complicate things, if the writer wanted to do it....

The writer should pair the items together, like having the Ninjas and the unusal Pie happen within the same scene.

This leads to some funny combinations.

Just to name a few...

James

And, just in case someone didn't know what Crack-Paring is (I didn't), here is the definition from
Fan Fiction Terminology at Wikipedia
James

That's a heck of a list!

I'll probably tackle some of it this weekend while I study for my art history final. I've already got a working definition for 'leftindiary.'

JD

Okay, I kept looking at this list and thinking it was crazy. Then my muse decided to tackle it.

Shadow, I didn't see that you were going to do one until mine was done. Please continue.

Here it is. The Great Grandmother Challenge

It did end up being a little longer than I had thought because it included so many items.

Why did there have to be a Tank ending?

Ann

Oh, yeah, I agree. But considering the name and some of the elements, how could I not write this? Hmmm.... Forty-Two, Forty-Two....

Oh, no prob! Great thing about the challenges are all the different crazy stories that come out! Besides, I'm a real slacker when it comes to writing. I'll probably *start*...in a couple of weeks?

JD

I started working on something, but I'm trying to make it look like a real fic (answering a scavenger hunt à la Paul) so it will probably take me a long while. I haven't written any L&C fic in yonks.

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Finally decided to post my half-finished fic that answers the challenge. It isn't getting any younger. http://www.lcficmbs.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=009661

Elisabeth

...Incidentally, just to elaborate on what a crack pairing is (the definition I learned):

A romantic pairing between two characters who wouldn't even be considered a potential couple unless the author was insane.

Example: Jimmy Olsen and Martha Kent.

To clarify just a bit more;

*Lois/Clark would not be a crack pair, because they're the official canon couple.

*Clark/Mayson would not be a crack pair, because they were basically set up as another possible couple for the show--she was the 'other woman', if you will.

To be a crack pair, there has to be absolutely no in-show basis for the two characters to be a couple.

Is that clear? Of course, no points taken off for already-finished fics that worked it in without the definition.


Although...Y'all may want to keep the definition handy for the future...

I used James definition above, which gave no mention of romance. I suppose by including the word "pair" in the name it could be defined as romantic, however there are so many shows out there with teams, particularly in the realm of heroes and villains, that I didn't go there mentally.


Elisabeth

Hmm, that is a very good point. I hadn't considered the possibility of a crack team-up. O_o

Btw, I think you just gave me an idea for the next big challenge...

BE AFRAID!!! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!!

I may take on this challenge...or at least bits of it...you definitely have created plot bunnies that are now multiplying like...well, like bunnies. I think I'm done now...I shouldn't be allowed to talk to people...
