Popslash Treasure Hunt, the results.

[pensnest]

Okay, so I faffed and did other things and then went to the first rehearsal for our summer show and then went to Tescos and then faffed a bit more, but anyway.



1. A story in which there is a drinking game of some kind.

bossymarmalade gave me living vicariously, a collection of drinking games shorts.

bubbleforest had two offerings of her own: Bottoms Up and Up the Ante

call_me_loca had the same thought as I did, with World Tour by Topaz, which I remixed here.


2. A story involving a bet.

Here we have:
Just another drunken bet (the straight since the cinco de mayo remix) by jae (sadly, I couldn't find the original)
Unattached by Zoicite
Wanna Bet? by jules, and one of my own favourites, Coldhearted by jae


3. A post (or comment) extolling the virtues of bad!fic.

bossymarmalade linked to this slightly scary post of her own, and
call_me_loca to this one of hers.
I linked to the post I was thinking of when I included this item in the challenge, this one by turps33, of course.


4. A story with bad sex.

Dirty Pop by silveryscrape
The Pornutopia by nopseud, specifically (as there is a *lot* of sex in this story, and most of it not bad at all) Lance attempting to top JC.
Rhys's Fool For Lesser Things is call_me_loca's nomination here.
Mine is a delightful little snippet by fluffontop posted in sky_pie here.


5. While we're on the subject, a story in which someone other than Chris is involved with a Lava Lamp.

Heh. This one stumped bossymarmalade, but bubbleforest came up with Illumination and call_me_loca with Seeing The Light, both of which are by Me. (There's also LaLa which, I believe, was the first story to feature Lamp with someone other than Chris. *pride* And spawned this by stellamira and this by ephemera_pop.


6. A story in which a sparkly boy wears women's underwear.

on the dark side of the bed
Stain
Vacation
and my favourite, Under(his)pants


7. A rec list for any challenge other than DWNOGA or MTYG.

A list by turps33 is a darkfic selection here.
A list by epicflailer is for yuletide, not popslash, but hey. It's here
And I'm going with this list of Dragon Challenge 08 recs by phaballa, and this list of long-term pining TrickC and trickyfish recs from llamabitchyo, both on popsoundboard.


8. A story involving at least one dildo. That wasn't written by me!

The best therapists are inanimate
Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing
The Pornutopia has already been mentioned, it has at least two dildo sections, ahem. And there is also, of course, Two Straight Guys in Wisconsin which features Mark.

Well. I think that was worth doing! It led me to a few stories I either hadn't read before, or had forgotten. I shall have to do it again sometime.

Yaaaay! It was fun hunting down all that stuff, with the added bonus of themed recs at the end, as it were! Thanks for doing it, Pen. *g*

[pensnest]

A neat little game, I think. :-) Thanks for playing.

[rikes]

I don't think I've read all of those! Excellent.

I hope you run this again later, because I'd love to give it a try. :)

[pensnest]

I'll have to think up a new set of categories, and I'll probably put it up on popsoundboard next time, but yes.

[call-me-loca.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of doing one as well...

[pensnest]

An excellent plan!

[call-me-loca.livejournal.com]

or something, LOL.

fooey i missed out!! this sounded like so much fun. it's cool how i still discover new pop stories even now! i'll definitly join in next time, actually i might just do the challenge in my own time for fun.

[pensnest]

It's sad to find links that are broken, but happy-making to discover links that still work, especially to unfamiliar stories. :-)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Somehow I knew I'd get linked for the badfic *g*

[pensnest]

It was inevitable, really...

[call-me-loca.livejournal.com]

I was right there with you....

although I do believe you were in that thread as well

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Now that I can believe.
