Coclaim #Two
Sep. 9th, 2006 05:00 pmI had the most wonderful idea for a really awesome writing challenge...
I made another claim in
coclaim100 for "The Ring." Behind the cut, I'll explain why this is such a challenging undertaking.
The idea is to write 100 chapters of one fanfic saga, each chapter based on one prompt from this table. I plan to do them in order. But, not only that, I'm going to do this in tandem with my claim for "The Ring" for
50_darkfics, so that each chapter has TWO prompts to fill, one from each table, also done in order. Is that challenging or what? ^_^ I am SUCH a masochist.
My table for the 50 Darkfics Challenge.
It's impossible to tell how hard this will be right off because I don't know where I'll be in the story when each prompt comes up. You can plan that stuff all you want, but the story takes over and knows where it wants to go, which always fucks with an outline. So, I'm going to go with the flow and outline as best I can.
My plans are for the series to feature canon characters from ALL the movies (American, Japanese, AND Korean) plus original characters. (The Evil Well Bitches need *someone* to kill.) There will also be cross-overs. (GUESS which fandoms. Oh, go'wan.)
The Korean movie, "The Ring Virus," will be the least referenced because it stuck very close to the book, and the book was much more sci-fi than horror. Which I don't like as much. (I may just leave it out altogether.)
Without further ado, my
coclaim100 table for "The Ring."
Yes, I do need a 12-step program for fanfic.
001. Beginnings. "Day 1: Human Nature." Quinn Kirkland led a charmed life, until the night he watched a very odd videotape, and was given seven days to live.
002. Kiss. "Day 2: Theories." Quinn, Svetlana, and Jolene discuss where the cursed tape could have come from.
003. Moments. "Day 3: Synchronicity." Jodie is quite the trickster, isn't she? But did she make the cursed tape? A case of synchronized dreaming says no.
004. Sight. "Day 4: Suffer the Nightmare." Quinn's dog, Mukluk, senses the curse overshadowing his master. Quinn and Svetlana dream in sync again, but this time are rescued by a blond stranger. Cross-over with "Supernatural."
005. Discussions. "Day 5: Finding Out." Quinn, Svet, and Jodie use the Internet to find out more about the videotape. They stumble upon someone very familiar with it: Vanessa. Unfortunately for Jolene, she begins experiencing the effects of the tape also in the form of hallucinations. Cross-over with SPN.
006. Indifference. "Day 6: The Works." Vanessa discusses her plans for Quinn and the others with a reluctant accomplice. Jolene returns the tape to Quinn after being chased around by hallucinations caused by Samara. Cross-over with SPN.
007. Laughter. "Day 7: Subliminal Messages." Jodie thinks she's figured out how the videotape works. Svetlana has another dream where she tries to communicate with the unknown blond, whom she sees as a protector. X-over w/ SPN.
008. Temper. "Day 8: Final Project." Jodie discusses using the cursed tape as her final project with her Film professor. Poor Jolene thinks she's made it through a curse-free day until she experiences a hallucination of Samara, her father, and a lamb named Phil. X-over w/ SPN.
009. Soothing. "Day 9: Meandering." Jodie and the professor discuss the tape with Japanese Teacher's Assistant, Akemi. Quinn writes an e-mail to his twin. Jolene has an epiphany about the effects of the tape after a strange encounter with a fly. X-over w/ SPN.
010. Awakening. "Day 10: TelePhone." Quinn and Svetlana dream of Samara's real mother. Dean Winchester comes to them to warn them what will happen if they don't join the ring. But what is the ring? Quinn's friend Gunnar takes him out for a night of distraction, but Samara crashes the party. X-over w/ SPN.
011. Messenger. "Day 11: Rattling the Cage." Lisa and Gunnar question Quinn about why he coughed up a necklace belonging to Samara's mother. He tells them what's been going on the last few days.
012. Scream. "Day 12: Streams that Often Converge." Samara and her sisters try to discourage the Winchester family from becoming involved in the ring by going after Sam. X-over w/ SPN.
013. Not Enough. "Day 13: Dispelling of Shadows." Quinn and Svetlana make their first attempt to communicate directly with Samara.
014. Heart. "Day 14: I Collect Seventh Days." Everyone has dreams of Quinn's funeral that are very enlightening. The dream leads Vanessa to suspect that Vicki is plotting against her with Dean Winchester, but is she seeing a vision of the present or future? X-over w/ SPN.
015. First Time. "Day 15: What Came Before." Jolene experiences a series of hallucinations of Samara and Anna and is taken on a journey back in time by a ghost to see how the ring began.
016. Books. "Day 16: Self-Portrait." Sam begins researching to figure out the identity of the artist in his nightmare. He gets help from an unexpected source. X-over w/ SPN.
017. Different. "Day 17: Double-sided Painting." Good to her word, Jessica brings over some books about the artist from Sam's nightmare. There is something obviously supernatural about her paintings. They research her together while their romance buds. X-over w/ SPN.
018. Phoenix. "Day 18: The Calling." Darcy goes to the people of St. Jerome's Catholic Church to get help for Svetlana, who is being haunted by Samara. X-over w/ Miracles.
019. Road Trip. "Day 19: Sordid Story." Stacy and her friend Jasmine get into a fight for cryptic reasons. Everyone at their school is gossiping about the threatening graffiti written on the bathroom wall. Later, Stacy and her boyfriend Beckett head over to Quinn and Jodie's place so he can do a psychic reading of Samara's videotape.
020. Need. "Day 20: Hot Potato." Beckett does a psychometric reading of Samara's videotape. The results are frightening.
021. Broken. "Day 21: Anxiety Dream." Svetlana is pursued by the girls from the wells in a dream in which she meets the real Dean Winchester, and learns something very important about him. Vanessa loses any sense of tact when she tries to find out what Vicki's up to with the shotgun-toting blond. X-over w/ SPN.
You know what? I'm lazy. To read summaries of Days 22 and on, go to the following page, because why should I type it twice :P : Sjwtbh Summaries
