Punditfic Prompt Fest

[erinptah]

Because it's about time this comm had a three_weeks_for_dw prompt meme.

This post will work like a kink meme, although prompts can be as kinky or fluffy or gen as you like. As long as it's related to fake news fandom -- including associated series (SWC, Tek Jansen) and people (pundits, comedians) -- it's golden.

The rules:

1. One prompt per comment.
2. Unless the prompt specifies a format, fills can be fic, art, mixes, meta...whatever you're inspired to create.
3. Include a warning in the header or at the beginning of the comment if your fill contains violence, non-con, or character death. Other warnings are left to your discretion.
4. Multiple fills per prompt are allowed.
5. Crossposting to other DW comms or journals is fine, but please don't post outside DW until 3W4DW is over (May 15).

Aaaaand go!

Something in which kid!Stephen meets kid!"Stephen". (What ages they are, and whether it's the same or not, and how it happens, is up to you.)

Evangelion AU!

[erinptah]

"Stephen" is Shinji; Jon is Rei; Conan is Asuka; Jimmy Fallon is Touji; Tina Fey is Mari; O'Reilly is Gendou; Jane Fonda is Misato...okay, that's as far as I've gotten. (Or maybe John Oliver is Rei and Jon is Kaworu? I don't know. You decide!)

Bonding over crack

[erinptah]

"Stephen" thought he was the only one who could see the magic portal in the Daily Show basement. Then Olivia showed up.

Okay, here's a kinky one.

Five guests Sam and Jason brought home with them.

Comedy Awards

...as viewed through a "Stephen" lens. Something that makes the whole thing, from the early presentation to the yelling to the attempted kiss, consistent from the character's perspective.

Happy!"Stephen" and how, unlike all of his other selves, he managed to turn out healthy, joyful, and well-adjusted.

[politicette]

Tiny!tomboy!Olivia meets tiny!Aasif and they have adventures catching frogs and reading comic books or something.

Stephen is not only a geek, he's secretly a fannish one! What are his contributions to 3W4DW? In which fandoms does he write the most fic?

stealing this one from gryffens@LJ

Stephen versus "Stephen" = Delight versus Delirium. (Can be an outright Endless!AU, or just some kind of Sandman crossover.)

OMG I WANT THIS LIKE BURNING.

and this one from raven_hoodoo

[erinptah]

Beck!Jon, "Stephen", and Palin!Tina Fey.

They're like the Bizarro PRT.

whoops

[erinptah]

Correction: that was actually stolen from w_thit.

THIS one was stolen from raven_hoodoo

"Stephen" has an almost preternatural ability to summon Jon to his side in times of need. (See: the Geraldo thing, the Conan thing, the Fallon thing...) What if it worked the other way, too? A story where Jon is in trouble, and "Stephen" ends up coming to the rescue.

and this one is from w_thit again

[erinptah]

The AU in which Albert Has Two Bat$#!t Daddies was written by Beck!Jon and "Stephen", a pair of completely heterosexual life partners who happen to be patriotically co-parenting a child.

lol reposted! from the trans fic mini fest

Trans woman!"Stephen"/Lorraine, Stephen wasn't kidding when she said she was a lesbian.

For Jon, drag is a way of life.

Life As We Know It |trans woman Jon | G

[politicette]

Jon pulls the sharp, clean cuffs over her wrists and shrugs her shoulders into the suit. It fits her perfectly, of course, except for that one very prominent Thing.

Avoiding her reflection in the mirror, Jon wonders if maybe, in a different life, in a different body, she would have chosen this for herself, would have gravitated towards crisp collars and gleaming cuffs instead of longing after soft necklines and flowing skirts. After all, she doesn’t look half bad in them, and Tracey has always said she loves to see her in a suit.

Well.

She’s always said she loves to see a man in a suit.

Jon slouches in a way that suggests discomfort with the clothes she’s wearing, like a turtle in an ill-fitting shell, and hopes that no one can see that it’s her skin itself that she wishes she could trade in.

;_; ♥

This is especially poignant and sad. I liked the careful capitalization at the top, and the way Jon considers herself throughout. And the last line is amaaazing. I love how it plays in with canon bodylanguage and the extra-big suits at the beginning of Jon's time on TDS and everything. And it just has a wonderful sound to it.

Angst, h/c, squick for untreatable medical illness and/or character death

[queenfanfiction]

Does anyone remember the episode where Stephen says he loves cheese so much that it's practically built up into most of his aorta? Well, that's where this little mutant plot bunny came from. I'm sorry. :/

Stephen/Jon. Stephen has a heart condition that will ultimately prove fatal if he keeps up his stressful lifestyle (which, obvs, he does). He's managed to keep it a secret from everyone so far, until one day he nearly collapses in Jon's office. Jon's not sure which is worse, though: losing his favorite correspondent, or losing his favorite correspondent for good.

Remix of "The King's Speech." Jon's next in line to take over the Kilborn dynasty at the Daily Show. But he has a slight impediment of giggling effeminately every single time he's in front of a camera. That's where Stephen Colbert, Poker Face Extraordinaire, comes in. (Bonus points if the giggling becomes a valuable trait instead of a deficiency.)

[erinptah]

From this interview, Ben Karlin explains how TDS gets its correspondents: "Sometimes we go to a city and have a local person put together a showcase. It's like a giant uncomfortable talent show. That's how we found Samantha Bee. (In Toronto) Other times people are recommended to us through friends or agents. We found Stephen Colbert on our doorstep in a basket with a note."

Fic about the finding of Stephen, please?
