Dream with Our Eyes Open

A Kids' and YA Book Fic Exchange

What is The Exchange at Fic Corner?

The Exchange at Fic Corner is a gen, het, femslash, and slash multifandom secret fiction exchange for kids' and YA book/short story fandoms. The name was ruthlessly stolen from that classic of children's literature, The House at Pooh Corner. Basically? This is for the book fandoms that you loved or would have loved as a kid (even if you just read them for the first time a week ago).

The Exchange at Fic Corner was inspired by Yuletide (the obscure or rarely written fandoms project) and much of the format and rules are based off that exchange.

moduno over at springkink wants to pick your brain as she prepares for a new round of springkink! Go on over there and let her know what you would like to write/see written!

If you have never done springkink but enjoy writing fanfiction, I recommend it. Despite the title, the stories do not have to be kinky, but they do have to be about relationships - anything from completely platonic friendships up through rabidly hot passions. It's low pressure - minimum wordcount is 100 - and you pick your prompts, which come with a specific due date sometime during the month that the challenge runs. If I don't have another challenge running, I find I can do about one a week, but some people do far more.

Maybe it's even time for some Sutcliff fic in springkink, hmmm?

On the list:

Black Lagoon, Crimson Spell, DOGS, Gouhou Drug | Legal Drug, Hikaru no Go, Howl no Ugoku Shiro | Howl's Moving Castle, Juuni Kokki | Twelve Kingdoms, Kozure Ookami | Lone Wolf and Cub, Kuroshitsuji | Black Butler, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Monster (Manga/Anime), Mushishi, Nijusseiki Shounen | 20th Century Boys (Manga), Ookami to Koushinryo | Spice and Wolf, Pet Shop of Horrors, Ranma 1/2, Saiyuki Gaiden, Seiyou Kottou Yougashiten | Antique Bakery, Shichinin no Samurai | Seven Samurai (1954), Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena, Silver Diamond, Tale of Genji - Murasaki, Tenkuu no Escaflowne | The Vision of Escaflowne, Trigun, Usagi Drop | Bunny Drop, Vassalord, Wild Adapter, Yotsuba to! | Yotsuba&!, YuYu Hakusho, and many more!
