Hiya,

New to this, but since asking for fics based on this topic didn't come up, Kyndred and Serena suggested a challenge for fic and art might be appropriate.

The idea is based on this fan-trope - fanlore.org/wiki/Soulmates

The idea is that Sesshy and Kags are soulmates at birth but neither of them know it, nor do they know each other, until they meet later on in life through some circumstance of fate. That circumstance being the revealing of a tattoo, mark, or birthmark that identifies the other person as their soulmate.

The mark/tattoo/birthmark - Could be anything you want, but it must be obvious for example that Kagome is Sesshy's soulmate and he's hers. So if Kagome has a mark, than Sesshy has to have a corresponding one.

The mark could be a crescent moon for Kags, a risen sun for Sesshy, or their names written on each other's skin in kanji or English, or both. Or something else that the reader can associate one with the other. Somehow. So that it's obvious they're destined to be together.

Rules:
- No Word limit.
- Can be a oneshot or chaptered fic.
- No ending date.
- Entries can be fic or art.
- You can include this in an already written piece of fiction or art provided it meets the criteria for the challenge. Soulmate, circumstance of fate, and the mark/tattoo/birthmark thing.
- All entries, art and fic, can be G to MA.
- All entries, art and fic, must be appropriately rated when published, as per Dokuga's rating rules.

And that's it.

Challenge offered.

Thanks.

~ Pyre.

P.S - I'll try to do up a banner. XD.

This reminds me of that new anime movie that's like #1 in Japan right now called "Your name"

I think Im down!

I am SO down with this...ugh. This is gonna set me back on Limerance, but I'm too excited to stress out lol

This idea I have is pretty crazy...I'm not sure anyone would actually read it xD

Thank you! Well, then, I'll have to write it up tomorrow!

I'm just having a bit of a confidence crisis lately...not sure if people really like what I write.
I'm on the verge of publishing, and I'm terrified that my writing is not that great.
Maybe it's publishing jitters? I dunno

Np. I get those jitters too, especially when I posted Inuyasha stuff, especially fanfiction. Past AUs I've written got reviews like 'Sess is too OOC' and so forth. So I transferred by creative energies to a new fandom, which I adore, and write for regularly.

Np, I'll read it!

Publishing?

Like Pro?

If so awesome.

~ Pyre

Yes, I am going to be sending out a fantasy novel series out to various publishing houses in a few months, and if the answers are negative, I've chosen to self publish

What other fandom do you write for, out of curiosity?

I love your idea for this challenge. I'm so in! I will have to juggle between two fanfictions but it will SOOOO be worth it. Plus, I have never done a challenge before so it will be fun

I think this is a great chance to reanimate one of my super old plot ideas and combine it with this one. I'm so psyched!

Wicked awesome!

Go for it in the publishing! I hope they pick you up though, but it's kewl if you self-publish. I want to do that when I actually have something original written. XD. Not likely any time soon. Having too much fun writing fanfiction.

My fandom?

DAI or Dragon Age Inquisition.

I mostly write for my Lavellan x Solas, but I do like to dabble with my Adaar with either Bull or Hakkon Wintersbreath, or the Avvar in general.

I might actually be stealing this challenge's plot for a LavellanxSolas fic, I've not completed the first chapter, but it's in the works.

XD.

I do write for Mass Effect on occassion, but it's harder getting a handle on their tech. >.> So scifi.

OMFFFFGGGGGG!!!!! Seriously?! I write mostly for the DAI fandom as well!!! AND for Solas/Lavellan.
My baby is Pulchra Tenebris: archiveofourown.org/works/4267557/chapters/9661977
I'm working on a comic for it, too if you're curious: kyndredraven.deviantart.com/gallery/55870206/The-Comic

Link me your stuff please! I always need more Solavellan in my life

P.S: The comic art style didn't start out too good. It took me some time to figure out things lol but I swear it gets better!

Yeppers.

I know! I read the comic, but forgot to comment. I will, sorry. I got distracted by Cullen with long hair. XD. I forget the page! Wait, you wrote the fiction for it? I totally thought it was just a comic. Awesome. Now I can read it! Woot!

Pfft! Your comic art is awesome XD.

Although Solas with demonish eyes is scary.

>.>.

Thanks for the linkies!

Np, I have a little DA art, but not much. >.>. So most of my DAI stuff is all fiction on my AO3 account, with some on FFN. I'm the same on both sites. I'd link to the main DAI fics, but I've got a smattering of oneshots, plus a couple chapter fics of varying lengths. So yeah. It is easier though to check them out on AO3, since they're all grouped under DAI.

Thank you so much for these links!! I will definitely check out your stuff as soon as I'm done writing this stuff for your challenge the next Limerance chapter!

Yes, Pulchra Tenebris is a fanfiction (my uber serious Limerance equivalent in the DAI fandom). It's a massive project. I have my own maps, codex tomes, additional theory lore, etc. I would say it's a lot bigger than even Limerance is at this point.

I can totally understand why long-haired Cullen would distract you
Of course, I'm the one distracted by long haired Solas too, so...
And yes, he is scary with Fen'Harel eyes, but so so sexy in a murderous kind of way <3

P.S: Just subbed to you on both AO3 and FFnet!

Hmmm I might do this.

I see this a lot in the Supernatural fandom. Seen some pretty great works as a result and would love to see what everyone comes up with for the SessKag pairing... I might take a shot at it upon completion of my current fic

I am excited about this challenge. i will take this up. hope you guys like the story.

Can this story be a canon one?

If you can weave in the concept of the challenge into a canonical plot. Go for it. It doesn't have to be AU.

~ Pyre

Okay then.

That moment you realise Pyre on Dokuga is the same Pyre who wrote that Mass Effect fic you read recently on AO3.

This challenge looks great! Might give it a go.

I think I missed this, but it looks cool. If it's still open I might try my hand in the coming weeks.

I was curious as to maybe do this challenge for another fic for another fandom. Also, I have some interesting Ideas for this one. Teehee. the pic I have posted is mine. and it is the inspiration for the story.

After one long year, I'm finally fashionably late to say I finished my story. Lol Here's a link. This is the summary: "They were soulmates, yet she denied their bond and disappeared for five years without a word to anyone. Now back, she holds a secret that literally tears them apart. MA One Shot." It is rated MA so no YIMS. Enjoy!
