When Tropes Attack
This came to me while I was falling asleep, thinking partly about trope bingo and how I am planning to do a fantasy AU of a fantasy setting...
I wonder if there would be any interest in a Trope Remix? I don't have a tine of time to write this out but I wanted to get something down before I forgot - you would be given a trope or a series of three, maybe, in a week or 10 day period, and you would take a pre-existing fic and write maybe 500 words of a remix of that story reworking that trope into it. What would X story look like in an AU setting? With an accidental baby acquisition instead of whatever maguffin it uses currently? The goal would be to keep things recognizable to some extent. This is more of a writing exercise than a story generation thing though. I dunno. You could remix your own story, anything from someone with a blanket transformative work permission, or anything you had explicit permission for, just to keep things kind, I think? You wouldn't have to complete a whole story, just a snippet that demonstrates the changes.
I don't know who would be interested in such a thing. I don't know that *I* would even be interested enough in it (certainly not enough to run it >.>), but it would be an interesting challenge I think? And it would certainly get me playing more explicitly with tropes than I do now.
Anyway, it was a random falling asleep thought that I thought worth throwing out there. Discuss amongst yourselves?
