RE: Things I Am All About
Jan. 18th, 2011 09:28 pmFor the purposes of this fest, we allow "dark" can have quite a wide definition,since one person's bonechiller is another's stroll in the park. Dark fic can be subtle as well as explicit. Dark fic can be difficult subject matter, moral ambiguities, unhappy endings, no win scenarios, secrets, lies and shames, psychological messes, a look into the void, a twist of a canon mood or theme. Dark fic can be bad thoughts, bad deeds, bad decisions. Dark fic can be pure evil, it can be in over its head, it can be wrong for all the right reasons, it can pave the road to hell with good intentions. Dark fic can be horror, violence, torture, abuse, non-con. Dark fic can be subtle and understated. Dark fic can be psychological. Dark fic can be dark humour. The purpose of this fest is to explore all these murky corners.
In any case, I love dark fiction and will be all over this shiz! Prompting is open now (click the banner to go to the prompting post) and will close on January 28th.
Check it out, and let me know if you're at all interested so I'll have someone to squee/commisserate with!
