There are a LOT of Halloween stories/crossovers. Most authors have written at least one (I think I have somewhere around five? -blushes guiltily-), and some authors base their entire body of work around the variations they derive from that single episode.

So here's my Halloween-story Challenge: I would like to see a fic where two characters dress as the same person, but in different costumes. Since each got the same 'download' they share a connection and become friends. This will be easier to do with a Scoob and a non-Scoob, though any character is free game.

Possible cost...

Alright, here goes:

Finding themselves over-run with Slayers post-Chosen, the Powers must do something really, truly DRASTIC to make some sort of balance with the dark side. Thus the Slayer line ends... and in a new world begins. In the HP world, Slayers are magical creatures along the order of House Elves: bonded to specific families as bodyguards, their slavery is common place.

Whether the Scoobies remember their old lives is up to you. Do they start a rebellion? Will they find allies among the Goblins? The Order? Will Hermione Granger start a one-woman liberation mov...

Alright... we've all read the stories where Buffy jumps, we've also read the ones where Dawn (for typically whiny or angsty) jumps instead. Heck, I've even read a story where SPIKE manages to work a jump off the Glory-tower-express (and no, I don't remember what story it was).

Most of these stories involve falling into a crossover universe... but what if they didn't? What if Buffy jumps into a universe where Dawn managed to finagle a leap? You'd have TWO Buffys running around Sunnydale. Or you could have Dawn jump into the regular BtVS universe where Buffy did the death-skip... E...

Alright this is a strange brainstorm but just go with me, ok?

Hank leaves his wife and child because of a failed marriage. What if Summers was Joyce's maiden name? What if McCoy was her married name? What if the reason he left was because his [Hank McCoy's] mutation suddenly surfaced and he couldn't face his family? OR maybe even because Joyce couldn't deal with it?

So far as I can recall, Hank McCoy's mutation surfaced late in his life. He was a scientist, a doctor, and a mutant... wouldn't it be interesting for Buffy and Dawn to be his kids? I'm seeing blue hair in th...

We've all seen (and enjoyed) various stories in which either

A) Hermione grows up to be Buffy or

B) Xander is somehow sent back to be Harry.

These are all well and good, but what if Xander/Willow was sent back not as the main character, but as someone in his inner circle? Can they change things from behind the scenes while keeping the spotlight firmly on Potter?

Would like to see:
Xander as either Neville or Ron (heck, make him Dudley!)
Willow as either Hermione or Ginny
More than 1,000 words
Changed canon (in a way that works)

Woul...

There are a gazillion Xander-Halloween stories, there are even some good Buffy and Dawn ones. What about Cordelia? Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get Cordy into another costume and write a story about it.

That's it - put Cordy in a costume from Ethan's.

Gorgeous boys. Fast cars. Dark magic. A boarding school.

All four can make a wonderful fic, but when combined... the results can be simply amazing. Which is why I do not understand the distinct lack of Covenant crossovers on this site! C'mon people, start writing!

Would like to see more than one thousand words and *fingers crossed* a little romance wouldn't be amiss. Caleb, Reid, Pogue, Tyler, even Chase or Aaron - pick your poison, taste the rainbow, use whatever analogy you wish: they're all pretty darn tasty.

End of Season Four, the weird Slayer dreams. Remember the cheese guy? Yeah, sure you do, he was WEIRD. I never heard of an explanation for him (if you know one, feel free to e-mail me via the link in my profile), so thus this challenge was born.

There are three seperate ways to take this challenge:

1) Have the cheese guy show up in some crossover character's dream. He should be a background character, as he was in the Scooby dreams, but the dream that he shows up in should have some special significance.

2) Find an explanation for the cheese man. Is he a demon...

When the spell hit the world, what if somebody famous was Called?

How does this new Slayer deal with being in the spotlight and Slaying in the dark?

How do the Scoobies approach such an auspicious personage?

Cross with whatever you like, but the new Slayer must be someone famous.

Possible crossovers:
Hannah Montana
Princess Diary Series

Dawn jumps through the portal and loses half her years (making her seven). By loses I mean LOSES, no memory of the Hellmouth, being the Key, her parents splitting up - nada.

Seven-year-old Dawn is found and taken in by Governor Swanne to be companion and a sort of a ladies maid to his eight-year-old daughter. Dawn grows up as in love with Will as he is with Elizabeth, but knowing she can never have him.

Now here's the clincher: Dawn is the Key, but what if Elizabeth really WAS Calypso reincarnated? Change the PotC canon however you wish to suit this, but Elizabeth IS the g...

The monks had to get a soul somewhere, right?

I've seen lotsa Buffy-is-Julianna stories, but what about Dawnie? What if she was Asher's old Human Servant?

Take the concept/idea and run with it wherever you may please!

Edward (at some point in canon, preferably around Obsidian Butterfly) gets Donna pregnant and asks Anita to be the godmother. She accepts and even attends the infant girl's birth... cue Big Evil's entrance.

Someone from either Edward's or Anita's past kidnaps the kiddie and takes her to an alternate dimension where she grows up to be the Buffy we all know and love. As time runs differently across the borders of space and magic, by the time the doting gun-toting daddy finds his little girl she's all growed up.

You can choose when in BtVS canon he finds the Buffster. Could b...

This is an 'Omigod, there's ANOTHER hidden Animagus in our school?' Challenge.

One (or more) of the familiars in the Harry Potter verse is ACTUALLY a witch/ zeppo/ Key/ or Slayer either in disguise or reincarnated.

Possible familiars to use include: Fawkes, Crookshanks, Pigwidgeon, Hedwig, Draco's eagle-owl, Trevor, or any other familiar you feel like using. You could even use one of the Marauder's familiars for all I care.

Have fun with it, whether it be a one-shot or a longer fic. Preferably a post-Chosen story, but it's up to you.

In honor of the coming 2008 presidential election (oponents, ready your mud!) I would like to see a fic where either:

A) A Scooby runs for some sort of office, whether it be magical or mundane.

B) A la Superman (Lex Luthor) a Big Bad runs for office and the Scoobs must find a way to keep him/ her from winning.

If you wish to combine the two and have a Scoob running versus a Big Bad, go for it, one can only imagine the sort of smear campaign that would start...

Bonus:
campaign debates
the election being something random (Miss/ Mr. Universe?)

There aren't enough crossovers with comics.

Some BtVS character is dumped into either Marvel
or DC. Whether this be movie or actual comic-based
is entirely up to you. Just cross it with something that
is or has at some point been a comic. The person dumped
will PREFERABLY adopt a masked-persona of their own. The
Scoobs couldn't stay out of the burning building for very long.

MUST BE:
over 2,000 words
fun, please keep the angst light (unless it's Batman)
would prefer a non-Xander fic, but if you must...
