| 1. |
action/advent
|
Swords, chases and treasure chests. Indiana Jones did it best.
Well, for the sake of our hero, we'll agree Rick O'Connell did it best,
shall we? Anything with a note of exploration, discovery and
heart-pounding action should be sent to this section! |
| 2. |
alternate
u/r
|
For every action we perform, there is spawned another universe in which
that action never happened. Or so the theory goes. This can be from
the very minimal question of "what if" ( ie: what if Alex had been a year
younger in TMR?) to the bigger ones (ie: what if Imhotep had been a woman?)
Also includes stories where our characters are placed in totally different
situations (ie: Evelyn and Rick were lovers in Greece in the 60's). |
| 3. |
angst
|
Who can resist a good sob story? These stories involve tears, fears
and gut-wrenching pain. |
| 4. |
crossovers
|
What
could be better than pitting Ardeth against Sauron or Evy against Angelus?
Any stories containing other fandoms go here! |
| 5. |
dark
|
When
tragedy and angst aren't enough, look no further than the darkest of the
dark. Most of these stories will be rated R or above, and include
dark themes such as drug use, heavy violence, abuse, disturbing scenes
and the more shady areas of sexuality. |
| 6. |
drama
|
Stories
from the heart? Soap-Operas? Stories that focus on touching
the readers emotionally. |
| 7. |
humor
|
Stories
that focus on what else? Laughter! From parodies to dark comedies,
if it's funny, it'll be here. |
| 8. |
hurt/comfort
|
This
is angst, but with a twist. Angst and comfort from angst! Woohoo!
All you Ardeth Bay lovers out there, who like seeing our Med-Jai banged
up and taken care of by a woman/friend/enemy, this is the section for you. |
| 9. |
plot-what-plot
|
Who
said stories had to have plots anyway? These are stories that don't
have a great big plot arc, but merely focus on those special little (usually
sexy) moments in life. |
| 10. |
poetry
|
Not directly stories, but dedications to our favorite characters.
Short poems, long epic poems, all done in beautiful language and imagery. |
| 11. |
point-of-view
|
These
are stories told by the characters themselves, from their thought point
and colored by their opinions and sense of onjectivity. Just
how did Imhotep see the events that transpired in The Mummy, anyway?
He probably thought of himself as the victim. |
| 12. |
romance
|
Ah,
romance. Who needs an explanation? Stories about love and sex
and did I say
looooove? From fluffy stories to heart pounding
lust, it's found here. |
| 13. |
suspense/mys
|
Edge of your seat stories that keep readers guessing and wondering and
dying to see what in the world is going to happen next should be found
here. |
| 14. |
tragedy
|
Every
once in a while there will come along a character death or a terrible,
grievous and not-so-temporary wound or a distaster that kills masses.
These types of stories go here. |
| 15. |
other
|
Anything
else, from lists to drinking games, songs, fics that feature real-life
characters and more. |
| 16. |
subtext
|
Maybe Ardeth and Evy got a little sparky. Maybe they didn't.
Not blatant romance, but definitely opens the window of possibility. |
