Sometime in season 6 of Buffy, Willow somehow makes a horrendous mistake and get's transported into the Star Wars universe when it's under the rule of Palpatine, she sort-of catches his eye and he tries to recruit her with the intention of taking over Earth in her time- with her as his puppet governor/governess, actually, considering her gender.
Might be written as a 'choose your own adventure'.
Length: can be any length, but at least a few good chapters long (and moderately long chapters).
In essence, His Majesty Palpatine is trying to recruit her while she's dark, and may imply that he'll help her get 'justice' for her girlfriend's death. (this 'justice' being a stretch, being a Dark Lord of the Sith, he simply doesn't care about her at all- he would simply want a minion.)
This could be a great merger: Scoobies split; Willow's friends (including Tara (now deceased), so her soul) telling her "Look at what you're doing." She's hurt and angry, she'd never be an apprentice of Palpatine, just a minion who he implied would become the 'Governess' of Earth, It could even have a Luke Skywalker/Buffy Summers co-worker bond.
If Thrawn shows up, he should be trying to protect the inhabitants of Earth from the Ssi-ruuk (he'd probably be the ideal one to encounter the Earth and try to bring it into the Empire, supposedly for the protection of the human race- he may well consider them to be "long lost siblings"- from what we know of the Chiss, that Would motivate him!)
For an added variable, the Ssi-ruuk would be attempting to conquer the Earth and entech the humans for "soul labor".

Willow's Temptation
↧
Spike Jumped
“OY! YOU BLOODY WANKERS BETTER TAKE CARE OF THESE TWO!”
And then he was gone.
~~~***~~~
At the shout, Xander, Giles, Willow and Tara all looked up to see Spike spread his arms and fall forward. His body slowly accelerating until it hit the glowing portal. In an instant, the vampire flashed to dust, releasing the concentrated energy of the key he held in his blood in one massive blast that blew the portal apart.
His ashes fell like snow across the city.
Okay, so instead of Buffy jumping, Spike has taken a good swallow of Dawn's blood and he's the one who has jumped. (Read my story "Demon's Glory" for the specifics.)
Author Challenge: Okay, this is your starting point! What happens to Spike next? Does Buffy insist that Willow resurrect him? Does the demon’s act of self-sacrifice and love get it access to heaven? Does he wind up in the river in St. Louis? :P You’ve all done it with Buffy (and a few have done it with Dawn). Here’s a third option. Write a follow on story!

A walk in the park Becomes a walk in Jurassic Park.
Because Willow got it in her pretty head to cast a spell that would help defeat the Mayor when he turns into a monster for his assention- something goes wrong, and the Scoobies (with a certain Miss Lehane (Faith)) find themselves in a Real walk in the park: Jurassic Park 3!
Cut off on Esla Nublar and hunted by packs of Utah Raptors and Spino, not to mention the ever-present threat of beligerant herbavores and Tyrannosaurus Rex Packs, plus possible Nano-Tyrannus packs.
Needless to say: The Scoobies may well break out into a fight in this situation; most Scoobies are not going to be pleased with Miss Rosenberg over this situation.
(The idea is that the beginnings of Willow's magic addiction cause more trouble for her than you can imagine- especially with her overconfident "leap-then-look" approach!)
Sample dialog: "You know, Will, with all the records of mysticism gone wonky, you'd think that eventually you'd learn that the Dark Arts Never get you what you want- more precisely, they do, but always with a horrible catch- that you NEVER want, like winding up HERE!" (Buffy or Xander).
Any length, but make it a quality length, not some one or two paragraphs, at least one good long chapter., PLEASE?

xander in ncisla
Xander moves to LA because his parents die on halloween. He moves in with one of the ncisla crew wheat her it be with Hetty as his grandma from his mothers side who is estranged. Or Deeks as a older brother. Now Xander dressed as one of the tech heroes like tony stark( bonus points) or john conner who knows all of the terminator tech and can make it. The main point of the story I want is him setting up a tech company also if you can add some sexy scenes like deeks walks in on xander with twins. Personality wise I want him to be smooth talking a bit of a play boy sort of like in iron tauri

A Case for the Law Books (BtVS/L&O SVU Crossover)
Situation: Season 6 of Buffy (post: Tabula Rasa), Tara has discovered that Willow's been raping her, and she telephones the cops.
The nature of the assaults is simply new: no physical damage, no chemical results, everybody seems to love the perpetraitor- and can hardly believe Willow would do something so evil- I mean, "she's GENTLE, and SWEET, how could she DO something like this?" One possibility is that Tara really enderes herself to Olivia Benson, and Olivia argues that Tara shouldn't have been subjected to this horror; regardless of her choices in lifestyle.
In court it might become a "she said-she said" deal, and one possibility is that mid-trial Willow realizes what she's done and makes a speach that get's her a 'suspended sentence' instead of prison time, either that or she ends up with community service in community defense (sentenced by a mercifle judge).
Could well include: Shocked Xander, Shocked and enraged Buffy, Berserk Dawn... you could even have an occasion in which Dawn picks a fight with Willow and beats the crud out of her for this- and is then arrested for assault and battery!
To those who say that this is out of character: Yes it is! Crime makes one do out of character things!
Recomendations: Tillow catfight in the beginning as Tara tries to get Willow to come to her senses about using magic to make people into sex-slaves! (due to orientation; typically other girls)
Also recomended: much argueing amongst the Scoobies about behavioral rules.
Possiblilities: Tara/Buffy arguement/catfight about Willow's actions with Miss Maclay trying to talk Miss Summers into helping her, Buffy distraught with current domestic events, Willow projecting her problems onto others to deal with stress, The First Evil celebrating this situation with 'his' demon horde in a big party.
Should include: upset Slayer, angry Dawn (berserk), amused Spike (he hates the Scoobies), enraged Tara (premise is that she was sexually assaulted), Shocked Maclay family, offended Rosenberg parents (offended by their daughter's conduct), Willow addicted, Giles perplexed, Possibility of Faith and Willow being cellmates (could be anything of treatment in prison; from protection due to a desire of Faith to change (and Willow too), to actual prison rape! And the consequences thereof- but challenger requests that it have Accurate consequences (if author chooses the criminal approach- cellmate violaiton) like extended sentence and loss of privledges), If Faith and Willow do wind up cellmates, they could establish a pact of mutual protection; pseudo-sisterhood.

Finding family in Fiore or Buffy exporing her slayer side - fairy tail style
Don't care how its done (time/dimensional cult, the usual ken or glory stuff, etc.), but somehow Buffy is kidnapped and sent to work in the Tower of heaven (somehow being de-aged in the process to Erza's age - perhaps they wanted her to live longer). Erza and Buffy become as close as sister, and joins fairy tail with her.
Nice to have:
- Buffy's powers reflecting her slayer self (for example, lets her use Fiore Devil Slayer Magic)
optional:
- perhaps Erza and Buffy are split up and they do not meet again until the current arc with tartarus guild.
Bonus points:
- the slayer essence gives her a slightly darker feel to magic - the slayer was described to being an essence of a demon
- Buffy's slayer essence allows Mira to perform her demonic takeover magic (even if its just powers or perhaps what the demon looked like before it was bound to teh slayer line).
- it would be funny to see Cana trying to get Buffy drunk a la beer bad 2.0 (or in this case sake bad?) ^_^ all in good fun of course.
- a fight of Mira vs Buffy and Erza vs Buffy
- double bonus for Mira vs Erza vs Buffy
Feel to to change or add to it. I just want to poke around and give ideas.
Note for reference on the magic it would be fun to see Buffy having: http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Devil_Slayer_Magic

Buffy losers her slayer powers, but becomes really smart
Buffy Summers, Former Slayer, Girl Genius
Non Slayer Buffy/Smart Buffy Challenge!
Buffy has been of being called dumb blonde too many times, then she loses her Slayer powers and becomes really smart.
*) Buffy becomes really smart.
*) Buffy loses her Slayer powers
*) Despite no longer being a Slayer, Buffy still gets in trouble with things that dump the night due to have been the Slayer.
*) Buffy cannot use magic anymore, and magic has a hard time working on her. That's to avoid Buffy using magic to compensate no being the Slayer anymore. That works both ways, as not only is hard to hurt her using magic directly, but also to heal her.
*) You can use the olde Halloween costume setup or try to be original. Extra points for originality.
Example of original plot:
After coming back from the death, Buffy Summers is slowly losing her Slayer powers at the same time she becomes a genius. While she doesn't want to slay the things that bump in the night anymore, those things won't let her. And while she cannot use magic or get her powers back, they expect brawl, nor brains.
*) Length requirements: At least 1500 words. I don't think that's too long or too short.

The Twin Protoculture Saga
TWO PART CHALLENGE!!! Yes! Two stories for the price of one!
Challenge #1: When halloween comes around, one of the main characters (Buffy, Xander, Willow...) dresses up as a gender-appropriate version of Zor. This results in the original Battlefortess (from before Episode 1) showing up in orbit. After the spell breaks, the ship and physical changes to the character become permanent.
This means no human-based Robotechnology unless the character decides to try recreating it, and the Battlefortress never crashed and has none of the weaknesses from lesser grade human tech. (i.e. anti-gravity drives ripping out on take off.)
Nobody else from "Sunny-hell" dresses up as a Robotech character, but feel free to add in other scifi crossovers as appropriate or wanted. No "techno-magic" please.
This can be a part of the "Ship of the Line" challenge by "Zaion" if you want. Thank you, Zaion!!!! Your challenge has inspired many of my favorite stories on this site!
Challenge #2: The Zentradi still show up looking for the Battlefortress in 2009 as per normal. However, the Battlefortress itself crashed at a slightly different time and place.
To be more exact.....The island of Midway on June 4th, 1942.
Ever heard of the chaos theory being compared to a pebble being dropped in a lake? This is more like tossing a rock the size of Mt. Everest into a 1-gallon bucket. In other words: Mr. History and Mr. Robotech timeline? Meet my friends, Mr. Turbocharged Blender on Steroids and Mr. Nova Bomb.
Needless to say, this is a highly AU version of Robotech. The outcome of this will drastically change how the Robotech story plays out, but hopefully for the better.
Two important notes: First, this is technically a Non-Buffy story. If you want to still include BtVS, it must be non-magic. No slayer, No demons, No vampires. Just normal people living normal lives...that have been affected by the rise of robotechnology and an altered history, of course. Second, Please include Ranko from Ranma 1/2 in this as a main character. (a "was born as a female" version, please!) How she fits in is up to you, but remember: being a Veritech pilot is just One of the jobs she could do...
I might just end up making my own version of one or both of these, but I would like to see what you all come up with first! Have Fun! :)
Final note: PLEASE! For the love of the Eternal Abyss, don't make either of these stories into a one-shot!!!!!

1. Pick any character from any fandom.
2. Choose any other character from any other fandom. (Must not be the same fandom as the first).
3. Explain how they could be related, no matter how probable, in the most believable way possible.
4. Kudos if you can manage to make the connections tie into both Fandoms timelines.

Overlord's New Minions
I've seen many stories both on TTH and other sites where some inspired author decides to cross Overlord with another Verse, and makes use of human or similar Minions.
One thing that is irritatingly common is the author constantly and unnecessarily describes the cup sizes of the minions, most often sizes that are not only ridiculously oversized, but physically crippling if real.
As such I've posted this challenge in the hopes of a Overlord crossover story without such, and came up with some rough Minion classes to help in inspiration, all I ask is a mention in the first chapter disclaimer if any are used in a story:
Overlord New Minion Classes:
Mages:

Raven gets some help; or the Prophecies were made to be broken challenge
Raven gets some help; or the Scoobies and/or the Fang Gang show how prophecies were made to be broken!
Fandoms: The Teen Titans cartoon, set during the S4 Trigon storyline. Overall universe is DC Comics. After Chosen for Buffy, and Not Fade Away for Angel, no comics for either, please.
-Must have Raven, Robin, Starfire, Beastboy, and Cyborg, strong team friendship, please. Other TT characters optional, as are any pairings. Though Robin/Raven would be amazing. ;)
-Any Buffy/Angel pairings welcome, but not necessary, though Spuffy, Dawn/Connor, Faith/Xander, Cordy/Xander, Fred/Wesley, Willow/Tara, Willow/Oz, Gunn/Fred and Giles/Joyce would all be extra happily accepted. :D
Challenge: The superhero Raven, in both the comics and cartoon, was destined to help her father, the demon Trigon, end the world simply by existing, in fact it as why she was created and born. Even though she doesn't want to harm anyone, she doesn't really think she can stop her father but she wants to try. Well, wouldn't it be great for her to have some experienced demon fighters and prophecy-breakers to help her out? The Scooby Gang and/or the Fang Gang, after the end of their series, come do just that.
Ideas:
*Raven can find them and ask for the help fighting her father and defying the prophecy, and be given it, or whatever Scooby/Fang Gang member(s) you like can offer it and she accepts.
*I think the Scoobies and/or Fang Gang could help Raven realize that just because you're a demon, doesn't mean you're evil, that her powers are hers to choose what to do with, and that there's nothing wrong with her, and she really needs to know that.
*Defying or finding loopholes in prophecies is something both Buffy'verse groups are very good at, and I'm sure they'd realize that by telling Raven since birth she had no choice but to end the world, the Monks of Azarath had been creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.
*A character(s) that's had experience in learning to control themselves so they don't let their witchy-powers/
slayerness/demon-hood control them gives Raven some tips on how to stay in control, because repressing her feelings all the time is just as bad an idea as currently showing them is. I'd love it if it could be Willow, Fred, Dawn, Faith, Angel, Connor, Oz, Buffy, Spike, Tara, Anya or Cordy.
*Is Raven, since she’s the "portal" for Trigon, anything like Dawn, with her keyness? Does Trigon want Dawn as a back-up plan for that reason, if he can’t have Raven? Do Dawn and Raven bond? Can Raven’s blood still be used as a portal even after defeating Trigon? Raven’s Demon powers have sent people to other dimensions in the comics, likely hell dimensions, so is it her soul-self doing that, the black energy that is the signature of her powers/is her powers, or can her blood do it too? And if it is her blood, is its' power rooted in origin from her father, or does it come from something else about her?
*Bonding happening between the other Teen Titans and the Scoobies/Fang Gang people, too. :)
*When the Teen Titans are freaking out over the idea of the end of the world, or Raven is feeling guilty that she might cause it, the Scooby/Fang Gang member(s) turn to them and say something along the lines of "The world is always ending. It's ending more often than it's not ending!" or "You think you're the only person who's almost ended the world? We've almost caused the end of the world too, sometimes that's what we were actually trying to do!" This doesn't make them feel any better.
*Slade, the cartoon name for Deathstroke the Terminator, has a confrontation with the Scoobies and/or Fang Gang, who could either seek him out for his connection to Trigon, or he might come to try and scare them off from helping Raven.
I hope this gives someone an idea! Have fun! :D

Random powers Halloween
The Idea is that the gang dresses up for Halloween as some form of superhuman and retain powers afterwords, however they don't retain the powers their costumes had but gain their own superpower.
For example Xander dresses up as Wolverine for the night and afterwards discover he is still a mutant but has a completely different mutant power like controlling fire or size changing.

Xander gets kidnapped as a baby and ends up with the Harris' on the Hellmouth.

After she dies and Charlie finally comes out of his funk in the garage, Don confronts him about his twin. Together they use the resources of the FBI to find their brother. Xander works with the New Watcher's Council (NWC).

Spike ends in the Anita Blake universe
I have yet to find at least a decent medium sized fic about Spike in the Anita Blake universe.
Rules:
*) Spike ends in the Anita Blake universe.
*) Spike has his soul, so the fic must be set after Spike won his soul back.
*) Spike is still the same species of vampire as in the Buffyverse, that means that yes he can eat, drink chocolate and be dusted.
*) Any reason for Spike being there works, yes even taking the wrong turn in Albuquerque or asking a certain lost boy for directions.
Example:
Spike was trying to get drunk, something that was not easy due to his vampire metabolism. Somewhat, somehow, he had ended in an alternate universe. He had not noticed at first but after finding a bar that was not only was vampire friendly, but whose barman was human and had human clients willing to be bitten he had noticed that he was either in vampire heaven or in an alternate universe.
Since vampires didn't go to heaven due to not having souls, him and Peaches being the exception, the exception about having souls, not about going to heaven, it means he was a long way from home.
So, with no one he could punch or blame for this, and no sidekicks with who he could share his brilliant sense of humor, he decided that the logical choice was getting plastered. At least he knew that his money was still valid in this universe, because he had bought a a pack of cigarettes right before going to the bar. Unfortunately the bar might be Vamp friendly but it didn't allow smokers.
But getting drunk was just the short temp plan, the long time plan was waiting for any of his so called friends to get him back home, not that he was quite sure about that. Peaches had changed since being hired by Wolfram and Hart and while he was quite sure Angel would do anything to get back one of his human sidekicks, he wasn't so sure he would do the same for him.
Sure, he could try to get back on his own, but he wasn't even sure vampires where the same kind that back home, he didn't recognize them the same way that he did with the ones in his own universe. Much less he knew anyone local he could ask for help. Still, he was in a vamp friendly bar, that have him some possibilities.
Still, he was hoping for some cutie to take interest in him, he had just arrived, he was not yet desperate enough to try to charm some guy just for a place to expend the day, heck he would try the sewers before sleeping with a guy. Not that he wasn't against the idea, after all he had done many crazy things during the sixties, but he preferred girls.

Xander dresses as Wade from X-Men Origins: Wolverine
This would still let him have soldier style memories with better sword skills while not powering him up too much.
If you wanted to with a little help from the Hyena it would allow for crossovers with more versatility giving even what Wade had a boost. Though you would have to stick to Wade before the experiments.
It would even let you put him into the main Marvel Universe without too much adaptation.
Just thought it would be something I haven't read about yet but would fit into any Xander-centric story quite well.
Hope I get the chance to read one that you guys could come up with.
Let me know what you think of the idea. Thanks

The Wesen Scooby
Basically instead of the more common aspect of having one of the Scoobies being discovered to be a Grimm, one of the Scoobies (any of them) is discovered to be a Wesen (a fairy tale creature. Example the Blutbad, aka the big bad wolf).
This is the entry point. Choice of Scooby to be Wesen is open, as is the kind of Wesen, as is the possibility of more then one Wesen in the group. Slayers can be Wesen or Grimms in your choice, but explanation on the effects of the two supernatural elements in one person would be welcomed.
Thank you very much.

Meet Your New Team!
SPOILER ALERT for NCIS Seasons 5 & 6. If you haven't watched them... what are you doing?
In Judgment Day: Part II, Leon assigns Gibbs a new team and scatters the old one to the four winds. In Last Man Standing it is revealed that this was an elaborate ruse to get Gibbs to sniff out the traitor in NCIS. What if it wasn't a ruse, though? What if Vance really did decide Gibbs needed an all new team? That is your assignment:
Construct a new, three-person team for Gibbs to lead. This team should have the following elements:
a) Must have a BtVS character. More than one is possible if you desire.
b) Must include a canon NCIS agent. It can't be Tim, Tony or Ziva. It can't be anybody who is dead by season five (like Cassidy). You may use NCIS agents that hadn't appeared yet (Cade, Levin, etc...).
c) You may use NCIS agent(s) from NCIS Los Angeles, but it is not required. Such an agent would fill requirement b.
d) Try to avoid constructing a carbon copy of the original Team Gibbs.
e) You may bring Gibbs' former team into the plot, but it must be related to their new assignments. A computer case brings them down to Cyber-crimes to chat with McGee. An overseas case has Ziva acting as a local contact. A case on the USS Ronald Reagan or the USS Seahawk involves Agent Afloat Tony. That being said, they may not return to Gibbs' team.
f) You may choose to replace Abby, Ducky and/or Palmer if you wish. It is not required.
g) If you keep Abby, there must be at least some initial friction between her and the new team. Abby does not like change.
h) You may cross over into other fandoms that make sense (not Star Wars, etc...). You may even draw on one or more fandoms for one of the Team Gibbs replacements and any support personnel (Abby, etc...) that you choose to write out.
i) Try to keep canon sexualities where possible. This is not a requirement, but a preference. At least provide explanation for any shift.
Beyond that, the sky's the limit. Good luck all.
