Fandom: The ArchAndroid - Janelle Monae

Characters: Cindi Mayweather
Summary: Cindi straightens her bow-tie with the help of a mirror faced guard. Based on the music video "Tightrope".


I have to admit that before I started looking into it, while I thought Janelle Monae was pretty talented I didn't understand why so many people wanted works based on her videos. But once I started reading about the whole ArchAndroid thing I became really taken with the whole concept and character of Cindi Mayweather, and the Tightrope video gained a whole new layer of meaning.

Erasureathon

Found via my network: erasureathon, an exchange for taking someone else's fanfic and making something new with part of the text (often a poem)

It sounds like fun, and signups close in about 5 days. One nice thing is that unlike the remix challenges you don't have to be familiar with the fandom of the work you're playing with, so there's no worries about not matching if you're into different fandoms than everyone else. You just need at least one fic of 1500 words or more.
