hope is a paper boat that sinks

no_true_pair's 2025 No True Crossover mini event is open for sign-ups!

no_true_pair is, loosely, a mad-libs-style challenge. For No True Crossover, you sign up with a list of 4 fandoms, a set of prompts is posted that uses all the fandoms in different combinations, and you create works using those randomly made crossovers.

For example, if your list contained Stargate SG-1 and Alice In Wonderland as numbers 2 and 4, there could be a prompt like "2 & 4: Going out for coffee" or "4 and 2: Underground" and you might write a crossover in which a Stargate character meets Alice for coffee or Alice goes down the rabbit hole to find herself underground at Cheyenne Mountain (Stargate).

1. Leave a comment with your numbered list of four fandoms. You may, if you want an additional challenge, specify characters, but it is not required.

Additional information:

• you may use original fiction for one fandom or several if you have different canons you want to work with
• you may have more than one list (as many as you like)
• every fandom in your list will have a prompt with every other one
• you may do crossovers (maintaining both canons), fusions (putting characters from one fandom into the world/roles of another), or something in between 

2. This is a low-pressure challenge. Signing up does not obligate you to create anything.

3. Tell your friends and have fun!

4. If you have any questions, just ask!
