eliyesHey there!
Firstly, if there's a character you really love but who didn't make it to the end of the series, feel free to write about them, AU them as surviving. (As long as it's not Kenny or Horton.) And if there's a fandom you're really jamming on right now you think would make an awesome crossover with Highlander, feel free to write that, too! Good crossovers are how I wind up in new fandoms most of the time.
This year I have a couple scenarios I'd like to especially throw out there, although if you aren't feeling it, don't force yourself. I have kind of hinted at one in my "Preferences" in the sign-up.
The first one is Immortals dealing with our modern world. Smartphones, memes, fashion, participating in/commenting on modern society and/or politics. It interests me to imagine how they would adapt.
The second one is the supernatural or magical. Highlander has a sort of magical realism going for it anyway, exploring that or amping it up strikes me as something I'd like to read.
I have been asked before what I mean, in my sign-up, by "things that used to be food or people in a sexual or dining context" and the answer is fucking or eating bodily waste or dead humans. So no scat, watersports, cannibalism, necrophilia, etc.I'm just very much not into any of that.
Finally, I've allowed Anonymous comments for this post, so if you have a burning question, go ahead. amand-r has specifically asked we not do this in the email giving assignments (or at least in the one I got, lol), and that such questions go through her, so I've gone back to not allowing anonymous comments. Sorry! but she has a point about accidentally commenting non-anon, I've done that, too.
Thank you for your writing efforts, I hope you have fun!
