X-men Unconventional Ships

Boy saves girl. It's a common plot point of TV, movies, books and even fanfiction. Sometimes the boy saves the world as well as the girl, but it's usually not the other way around.

This ficathon is about the other way around. This is girl saves boy (and maybe the world too), a ficathon celebrating that women can damn well do some saving too - not just be saved.

The Girl-Saves-Boy Ficathon. First created by misscam over at girlsavesboyfic for 2010 and ran again in 2011. With her permission, I'm bringing it into the present because honestly, I know I could use some more fics like this and hopefully all of you do too!

Quick Rules
1. All entries to this ficathon must centre around a version of girl saving boy. The how is entirely up to the writer, though. It can be Lara Croft-style, but it can equally be through thinking, particular skills, bravery... Women can be very versatile. So can your plot be.
- Feel free to be inspired by the 2011 theme Girl Saves the Day (and Maybe the World), meaning you're welcome to write stories where the girl might not technically save a boy, but does save the day/world. ;)
2. All fandoms - minus bandom/RPF - are open. You may choose which one you wish to write in.
- Crossovers are allowed!
3. Romance is neither a must nor a no. It is at the writer's discretion.
4. The minimum word count is 750 words. There is no maximum.

To support 3weeks4dreamwidth event going on from April 25th to May 15th, we're going to hold a low-pressure drabbleathon - basically no sign-ups and very few rules.

Rules
1. Anything at least 100 words and under 500 words will be acceptable (although granted, if you happen to write more than that, perfectly fine).
2. Post your drabble to the community under a cut (real or fake link to a dreamwidth URL, such as your journal or fic community).
+ It's highly appreciated that the drabbles created for the event stays on Dreamwidth first, feel free to share to other websites/archives after May 15th
3. Like with anything, follow the community's posting/tagging guidelines (see profile). Please tag your post with "challenge: three weeks for dreamwidth"
4. Any rating, pairings, content is acceptable, spoilers or content warnings (as always) are appreciated but are always up to the writer's choice.

Looking for prompts? dreamwidth has a lot of different prompt communities, so I definitely suggest checking those out but to name a few: 100fandoms, 100ships, mcu100, mcu15, xmen15, xmen100, 100femslash, 100_women, 10trueloves, femslashfete, comment_fic

We also had a drabbleathon/promptathon last year, so there are still plenty of prompts available.
