npt_adminThe Prime Time Desserts collection is open for posting. Criteria for fics are medium-sized fandoms, over a thousand words, completed, and in English. If you're unsure of what constitutes a medium-sized fandom for Prime Time Desserts, you can check out the tag set from the 2014 round (some fandoms may have grown to megafandom status since then) or the NPT eligibility post.
January and February prompts are still open. The sky's the limit when it comes to these prompts. Take them however you want:
Threesomes/Moresomes: Pairings with three or more characters in it with plenty of stories to tell. Maybe it's a one night stand or a couple picking up a third temporarily or permanently. Maybe it's a V-relationship (A/B, B/C, but not A/C together in the relationship) or everyone in the moresome are dating each other equally.
Worldbuilding: This type of fic focuses more on the world (mytharc of the canon or the setting itself) instead of the characters themselves. Canon or original characters can be the filter in which the audience explores a location or delve into the mytharc. Maybe you want to write about Roy Harper living in the Glades, both before and after the quake (Arrow) or the average person with psychic ability just trying to live their lives under the radar in Push (2009).
Crossover/Fusion: While the two are similar, a crossover is a "story in which two or more fandoms are combined in some way" and "the most common form, characters from Fandom A may meet characters from Fandom B." Fusions, on the other hand, are "where characters from one fandom (Fandom A) may be imported into the setting of another fandom (Fandom B). Fandom A characters may take on the roles of Fandom B characters" and "not interact with Fandom B characters at all, or only very peripherally" Fanlore article). Agents of SHIELD characters with daemons like from His Dark Materials is a fusion. Sidney Crosby (Hockey RPF) hanging out with the Vorkosigan Saga characters is a crossover.
As a general tagging note, if your fic contains a crossover with main characters from both fandom(s), then tag those fandoms in the fandom tag. However, if your fic is a fusion with no characters from Fandom B, only characters from Fandom A and just elements/settings from Fandom B, only use Fandom A in the fandom tag and fusion tags in the additional tags section for Fandom B. We don't want to spam Fandom B with Fandom A fics, especially when Fandom B tends to be smaller and their pages are filled with other fandom fics (think His Dark Materials where pretty much 90% of the stories there aren't actual His Dark Materials fics).
Minor Characters: As the title suggests, these are fics that are focused on the minor characters of a canon instead of the main characters. Maybe a minor character that only appeared in a single episode caught your attention. Or maybe you want to explore a minor character's background or love life, whether or not with an original character or a main character.
