minutia_r | Multifandom Poetry Fest 2022

Welcome to the sixth annual Multifandom Poetry Fest, a prompt fest for poetry for all fandoms! Have fun, and feel free to promote it on your journal/community/tumblr/discord server/whatever if you want. You can copy the code in this box wherever HTML applies:

Rules

1) Leave a prompt in the form of fandom, characters or relationships, prompt. If you don’t want to specify the fandom or characters, you can say "any." One prompt per comment. Leave as many prompts as you like.

2) Reply to other people’s prompts with poems. The poems can be any length or form, or no form. Quality isn’t important--the point is to have fun, not to produce deathless works of art. (Any deathless works of art produced are just a bonus.)

FAQ

Q: I want to write a sonnet/haiku/villanelle/limerick, but I’m not sure how it goes.

A: You can find a good list of poetic forms and their structures here.

Q: Can I write fills without leaving any prompts, or leave prompts without writing any fills?

A: Go ahead!

Q: I want to fill a prompt, but someone else has already filled it.

A: That’s okay, prompts can be filled multiple times.

Q: I want to write explicit erotica, or a poem with potentially disturbing themes, or a poem that spoils recent installments of canon (or make a prompt for the same). Is that okay, and what sort of content do I need to warn for?

A: Sure, that's fine. Warnings are considerate and appreciated, but they're also up to the discretion of the individual poster. Consider this a warnings-optional space and read at your own risk accordingly.

Q: Are the fills I write considered to be gifts to the prompter?

A: Only if you and the prompter want them to be! Otherwise feel free to treat the prompt simply as inspiration.

Q: Can I prompt/write original works?

A: Original works are a fandom! If you want, you can specify genre and character types while prompting, like so: original fantasy setting, female elf/female orc, next time I won't miss.

Q: I want to participate, but I don't have a dreamwidth account/I'm shy.

A: That's okay--anonymous posting is on.

Q: How long is the fest going to be running for?

A: Currently, I don't have any plans to close this post to comments--I figure we'll keep going until everyone gets bored and wanders off. I reserve the right to change my mind, though.

Q: Is there a collection on AO3 where I can post my poems?

A: Right here.

Q: I want to participate, but I suck at writing poetry.

A: Aww, you’re probably not as bad as you think. But even if you are, it really doesn’t matter--like I said, the main point is to have fun.

The Untamed, Wen Qing, do no harm

Not one death has come
by her hand; not one person
injured or weakened or ill.

Many deaths, perhaps,
have followed from her failure
to use medicines as poisons.

Oh, neat! That gets right to the heart of the dilemma, doesn't it?

there's this one fic by…oh hell, who is it, it's the only other MDZS/CQL fic by the author of the one where oops Wei Wuxian is possessing Lan Jingyi now…anyway Wen Qing time-travels and doesn't realize it's not a dream until after she's killed Wen Ruohan, and then she just. keeps going. until she's sure everyone she cares about will be safe. and it is beautiful.

aha the title of the other one is The One-Body Problem which means the fic I am describing is this one:

With Surgical Precision (20192 words) by metisket
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Relationships: Wēn Níng | Wēn Qiónglín & Wēn Qíng, Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn & Wēn Qíng, Lán Zhàn | Lán Wàngjī/Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn
Characters: Wēn Qíng (Módào Zǔshī), Wēn Níng | Wēn Qiónglín, Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn, Jiāng Chéng | Jiāng Wǎnyín, Niè Huáisāng, Lán Zhàn | Lán Wàngjī, Jiāng Yànlí, Lán Huàn | Lán Xīchén
Additional Tags: Time Travel, Families of Choice, making slight mistakes about the reality in which you find yourself, taking irrevocable action due to those mistakes, barreling recklessly onward like it was what you meant to do all along, wen qing has regrets, wen ning has no idea what's happening, sibling bonding through murder
Summary:

If Wen Qing had realized sooner that she wasn’t in the afterlife or hallucinating, but had actually traveled back in time, she’d have done things differently. There’d have been less murder, for one thing.

Interesting, thanks for the rec! Reminds me a bit of the premise of the Thomas Covenant books except less rapey. And here I thought I was the only one who had written a fic called The One Body Problem XD

Damn! Nice! There's also that she agreed to the core transfer, think of the implications if she hadn't.

indeed!

That’s such a neat turnabout – really cool.
