Your loyal guild leader sits, his back to the crowd, in a wingback chair facing the fire

I have been asked, from time to time, what I thought of fan fiction. To be honest, I don't hate it by any means. I just don't often take it seriously.

The weary guild leader takes a sip of his drink

But, recently, I have been struck with a mighty case of writers block. And, I must admit, there was a time when I, too, was young, and fan fiction seemed like a good idea.

He finishes his drink, and sets it down

But, I don't want to engage in just any fanfiction writing. No, to break this particular case of writers block is going to take a much more potent tonic. Ladies and gentlemen...

Lets write some CRACK!

I hereby issue an open challenge. These are the conditions of this engagement.

1. I will take one challenger at a time. That challenger will be the first to respond with a challenge once I open challenges. Once I have a challenge, they will be closed until I open them.

2. Challengers will present a "story pitch" for some sort of fan fiction. Try to be a little more creative than just an unusual pairing. Give me some circumstance and setting, too. [not to say crack pairings are a no go. Quite the contrary] Do be sure to note the show/book/ect the characters and settings are from, preferably with some sort of link to a relevant resource. The point is to make the topic difficult to write about due to it's implausibility and absurdity, not because the source material is obscure.

3. Ahh, but your job is not done, my friend. I, then will issue a challenge in return. I will issue you a challenge of my own, following the same guidelines.

4. We will each have ten [10] days to produce a 500 word entry. A low bar, I know, but this is fan fiction we are talking about. I have seen some authors post 400 word chapters and have complaints of "OMG TL;DR". This limit is only a minimum. Feel free to write as much as you'd like.

5. Our entries will be posted in or linked to in this thread.

6. Our entries will be judge entirely by my discretion. Should I be impressed by your entry, you will receive a token of my gratitude for a good literary bout. An item, or a small sum of gold.

So, come forth, fans of the fiction. I await your challenge!

Interesting, let me think...

Uh...hm
....in the future, where everyone in the guild has gone away
and not a single soul is left. 2 Loli NPCs are left to their own
devices.
One is Momo quiet and expressionless, the other is Sunako a
hyperactive vampire with a hidden dark personality.
Together they travel around gaia looking for a new place to call
home. Their journey is plagued with peril as they do their best to
avoid getting deleted by the admins. Together they find loli love.

Momo:

Hmmm... Bold. Very bold. And Meta. I'll get on it.

Now, for your challenge. A combination of two of the most over-fanfic'd and crack filled fictions on the planet.

*clears throat* After a lost bet with Kakashi, Might Gai takes up the mantle of "Defense Against the Dark Arts" teacher at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. [Sources: Naruto and Harry Potter. But you knew that.]

May the crack writing begin!

Kukuku perhaps I should have expected something like that from
Val. Sounds interesting, I'm very intrigued by how this will turn out.

If all goes according to plan, mine should be done by the end of the day...

EDIT: Okay, maybe not. I'm at 600 words. Busy day.

Val:As you can guess. I'm not done yet.
It's gotten pretty busy. I don't know when I'll
have it up.

Momo:.....can't get it up.

After a month, I think we can safely call this one a draw, I think. I'm going to put this on hold until my schedule evens out.

Here's an Idea how about doing something about the classic series, like how cecilia died??

It would make sense if Dartz was behind it al, think about it from the beginning he had set some evil things in motion to get what he wanted.

recruits mostly but imagine it wouldn't have even been possible if pegasus hadn't gone on a soul searching journey that lead him to re-creating the 3 egyptian god cards

Oh how familiar this sounds to me the "Tradgedy" Of Raphael and his family, Valon being tossed in a island jail... the whole 4th season was kinda a revloving door you knew you'd somehow get stuck in..

Its a theory I worked on for a while though. I would like to know ASAP what you all think..
