12 Days of Ficmas Introduction and Warning Post
Introduction:
Even though the community![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
12daysofficmas isn't about claims or contests of any kind, I've decided to treat it like a challenge community.
The guidelines that I've given myself are as follows:
- All twelve stories must follow one generic theme.
If the series is Fullmetal Alchemist, all twelve days must be Fullmetal Alchemist. Each individual series must have twelve stories - one for each day.
(Due to my inability to come up with a decent reason for a Wolf's Rain Christmas fic, I cheated a bit and incorporated the Wolf's Rain characters into my Inu-Yasha fics, making it a crossover story.
Who doesn't want to see Kagome's reaction to Toboe?
Now, I only hope that I can come up with twelve stories for that concept.)
- Keep the fics as canon as humanly possible
- Follow the "guideline themes" chosen by the Mod.
I have chosen one or two - in some cases three - suggested themes for each story, to incorporate into my writing.
- And, lastly, since it was pointed out that when writing twelve seperate stories they should be short, I have challenged myself to make them all a drabble.
My idea of a drabble is 500-1,000 words. No more and no less.
Although it wasn't initial intent, the FMA fics have, so far, turned into twelve seperate chapters of one story, more than twelve seperate stories.
Warnings:
Possible AU for some unlikely use of modern technology. Although the results of the challenge have been primarily Ed and Winry heavy that in no way means that they are intended to be taken in a literal pairing or relationship sort of way. Overuse of characters blushing and staring owlishly (mostly Ed.) References to both Al and Ed as 'the alchemist' and Winry as 'the mechanic.' Possible disregard for the actual layout of the Rockbell residence. Also, as voted on by other FMA fans, AU for human!Al. (Which I'm now writing a 13th story to explain.)
This warning is a generic whole fic warning, and further information will be added to it, with each chapter - as well as individual chapter warnings.
That said, enjoy.
