Find the Fanon Challenge

The Rules
How well do you know your fandom, shipper nation? Let's find out! Below is a list of 20 fanon creations--fic, graphics, fanmixes, and other fun stuff--relating to our fair pilots. Your mission? Travel through LJ and the web collecting links to these items, and be the first to complete the list and post it here in the comments! ETA: I've decided belatedly since there are actual prizes involved to screen the comments. I'll unscreen any replies to general questions that could help the group.
1) You can choose to hunt alone or form up on someone's six for support/faster kill time, but the first three individuals or teams to submit a correct and completed list win a prize! Prize winners can choose from: a fic request, a vid request, a 2-month 140 extra userpics package, or 500 LJ tokens.
2) There are multiple correct "answers" for every item. Some will be harder to find than others, but rest assured, every item does exist somewhere out there in LJ land.
3) All items collected MUST be pre-existing. You can not make a new item to fit the description and submit that.
4) Make sure you submit a link to where each and every item can be found. When it says "name this...", name it and ALSO provide a link to where it can be found.
5) Any questions? Leave 'em in the first thread of the comments!

Date: 2010-10-24 03:18 am (UTC)Hmmm... let me think about that... Fic!
I hope you unscreen all the answers when we're done - I'd like to see what everyone else got, especially for the fics. Might find some new stuff to read or be reminded of some old classics! :D
Re: wallpaper with handshake!
Date: 2010-10-24 03:26 am (UTC)Yup I will def. unscreen when the first three winners are set. It's interesting to see which answers are same and which are different!
Re: wallpaper with handshake!
Date: 2010-10-24 04:43 am (UTC)Okay, prompt. Question 2 actual has me wanting more pilotbaby fic, so if you can I would like that. Can be a girl or a boy, a baby or an older child just as long as its parentage is 100% pilots.
Everything else is open, as long as it's not one of those where Kara finds out her true calling is motherhood and loses her entire identity. (But then I'm sure you would want to write that about as little as I would want to read it!)
that's sounding kind of involved, so to simplify...
want: pilot offspring, any sex, any age, any timeframe, any genre (including tragic/angsty)
DNW: OOC!Kara, noncon or bashing of any character. (none of these I've ever seen you do, so hardly need to say it)
If the prompt's not okay (I know some ppl run miles from babyfics, so I'd understand) let me know and I'll think of something else.

Date: 2010-10-24 05:40 am (UTC)I have this secret agenda to get all writers who aren't babyfic fans to write one for me... because they seem to end up writing the best ones. (I'm contrary like that... one half of me thinks Kara Thrace as a mother is thge wrongest thing ever, and the other half wants to read fics where she's a mother anyway. I'm either masochistic or have MPD, I don't even know.)
