The Plague-ground
Is the ocean on Atlantis running red with blood? Have the cows and horses in Smallville suddenly dropped dead? Has Dr House seen a huge upswing in the number of people with boils? Has a rain of frogs hit The O.C, causing Summer to say “Eww, really gross”?

In honor of Passover, I bring you The Plague-ground:Ten Plagues fic/art challenge.

Take one of the proverbial ten plagues, pick a fandom, and go to town. Heck, take all of them. If you want to throw in other parts ot the story of the Exodus from Egypt, feel free.

This isn’t the Worst Case Scenario, (for the most part). It’s just the grossest.

So come play. Drabbles or stories,drama or comedy, icons or bigger art. It’ll be more fun than finding the Afikomen.

All ratings and pairings (or gen). No deadline, but try to get it done in less time than it took the Israelites to reach the promised land.

Here are your choices (but of course you already knew them):

1. Water turns to blood
2. Frogs
3. Lice
4. Flies
5. Cattle, Horses, Oxen die
6. Boils and blisters
7. Hail
8. Locusts
9. Darkness
10. Slaying of the first born sons.

Motza Luck! Or is that Lotsa Muck?

Huzzah! (Here via [info]celli, btw)

A Weiss Kreuz drabble:


Running Red


"I see a bad moon rising."

"Excuse me?" Schuldig said.

"I see trouble on the way," Crawford added.

"Who are you and what have you done with the real Brad Crawford?"

Nagi ignored them in favour of refilling the kettle. He shrieked, his voice going pre-pubertal in pitch as blood poured out of the tap.

"Jesus!"

"Wrong set of books," Farfarello muttered, dabbling his fingers in the scarlet flood. He left, saying, "I'm the eldest boy. I'd better get a shower while I still can." From the bathroom they heard him singing happy songs.

The smell of blood was overpowering.

Thank you! The characters are assassins, the antagonists in Weiss Kreuz, an anime series.

The entire ten plagues and what they do to the characters are here.

That's great, thanks! I knew there was a challenge collection comm, but couldn't remember the name.

Do I need to add anything to the info post? It's a pretty easy going challenge, but I will if need be.

I don't think you need to - if you yourself get a lot of questions and realize there is something you want to clarify, drop a note and I'll fix it. Meanwhile, good luck!

So this might be the time to finish that story I started four years ago about the plagues hitting Sunnydale.

...nope, too hopelessly out of date. Grrr. I'll have to start a new one.

try to get it done in less time than it took the Israelites to reach the promised land.

Have you ever really thought about that? It took them 40 years to get from Sinai to the river Jordan...
That means they walked about an inch a day :O

Title: Paint the Town Red
Word count: 2916
Summary: What's the differential diagnosis for a trio of coma patients?

[info]tzikeh and [info]leap182 came up with the story premise and title, for which I am infinitely grateful, because I never would've come up with this all on my own. Contains spoilers for "House vs. God," this week's episode. (And thank you for this challenge -- which is awesome!)

Read a tiny teaser here at my livejournal; read the whole thing here.

Took a while, but here it is:

HP, Family Plagues, Bill Weasley

Also, another HP fic inspired by the Hagaddah (written just before this challenge was posted, linked to because of similar theme plus self-pimpage): Four Sons, MWPP
