Welcome to the December 2024 Scavenger Hunt! I post a thing, you find a fic that has the thing somewhere in it, post FDK, report back, collect points. It's as easy as mince-meat pie!
Here are the official rules:
Find a fic that fits the current theme (see above) and leave a comment on it.
2. Your FDK Post Must include a mention of this scavenger hunt, a genuine comment on the story (this is an FDK Challenge, after all), and a quote from the story which proves that it does fit the theme.
3. When you have made your post, report back here to let us know. (Please note: If I cannot find your FDK post, I will have to assume that both it and the entire fic were nothing more than a vivid dream you had after eating calamari. Links are helpful in this regard.)
4. The fanfic can be from anywhere, as long as it's specifically L&CTNAOS.
5. Whether the fic is complete or not does not matter. WIPs welcome.
6. If the fic has multiple chapters, you only need to comment on one; preferably the most relevant one.
7. IF and ONLY IF there is nowhere to leave FDK, you may start a thread for it yourself.
8. You MAY NOT tag a fic once someone else has tagged it.
9. You MAY NOT tag your own fic. Leaving yourself FDK is just silly.
10. Multiple entries will only be allowed after THREE entrants have reported in: This unlocks the free for all.
And for scoring/the theme, you get one point for each instance of the following items:
1. A Drummer
2. Someone playing a woodwind instrument
3. An upper-class man jumping
4. A woman dancing
5. An unmarried woman attempting (successfully or not) to get milk from an animal
6. A swan
7. A goose
8. A gold ring
9. A bird making any kind of vocalized noise (chirps, squawks, etc)
10. A hen (for the purposes of this challenge, no specific nationality is required)
11. A turtledove (will also accept: regular doves, pidgeons)
12. A partridge
13. A pear tree
14. A True declaration of Love
Alright, there you are, and happy hunting!
