In this upload contains a bunch of ideas that I never got around to messing with. On top of that, it was posted to the front page of my profile, I figured in cleaning it up I would post all those "challenge" ideas here in my Scrapyard doc for people to peruse and maybe use for their own story ideas. Please keep in mind that some of these ideas are years old and some may exist that use these prompts.
Title: [Up to the challenged author]
Type: Standard fic
Universe: Sword Art Online
Genres: Slight AU, Adventure
Sub-genres: [Up to the challenged author]
Main characters: OC's [names are up to the challengee]
Language: English
Basic plot: The SAO release was much larger than expected, allowing many more gamers to get their hands on the game and have a much bigger worldwide release. Among these two are a husband (a cop) and a wife in the US. The husband has to work the night the game was released, so he is not caught inside of it; his wife, on the other hand, was not so lucky. Returning home to a comatose wife after his shift he calls for an ambulance, which comes with black SUV's in tow. Inside is a Federal agent assigned to a task force in charge of investigating these trapped gamers. After being questioned and learning that there are more like his wife out there, he asks to be a part of the task force to help take down the man responsible.
Concept: The idea behind this is that we never see what goes on outside the game world, only the one news report saying that people are stuck inside the game and that those who are disconnected die immediately (that and the death toll reports). So the question remains, what is going on outside? What are the families of the trapped gamers doing to cope with the fact that their loved ones might never come out of this "Death Game?" What was the investigation to try and find this man who killed so many and yet got away with it? Or did he? Other than that the challenged author may go inside of the game world to give updates, but the primary focus is on the characters outside. Guest appearances by the cast of the Anime/Manga is allowed.

Title: [Up to the challenged author]
Type: Crossover
Universes: Naruto x Red vs. Blue
Genre: Adventure, Friendship, Comedy, AU
Sub-genres: [Up to the challenged author]
Main characters: Naruto U. or Naruko U., Agent Carolina
Language: English
Rating: T-M (based on language and possible graphic material that could be written)
Basic plot: After being thrown off the cliff by Maine (RvB Season 10) Carolina lands at the bottom of the cliff only to pass out. She wakes up later (suitless) to discover she is in a house, an old house made of materials that haven't been used in years. Still unable to move, she meets the master of the house, the same person that saved her days earlier. Not wanting to be in anyone's debt, she states she is a mercenary and will do a task for him in to wipe the debt she feels she owes him. After a completed job months later she wanders the continent looking for any way off the planet when she makes her way to Konoha as a traveler passing through. She then discovers five-year-old Naruto (or Naruko if the challenged author favors Fem!Naruto) bruised, beaten, and starving in a back alleyway. Moved by what she sees (whilst cursing female hormones) offers to take him/her out to eat, to which he/she suggests his/her favorite ramen bar. While dining Carolina asks why Naruto/Naruko was left for dead on the street (to which she notices that the bruises are pretty much gone) starving; to which he/she replies that the orphanage kicked him/her out after his/her birthday a few days prior because he/she was a "demon child." Enraged that people would be so heartless to do this to a child she leaves some money on the counter before marching off the the village leader's office, with Naruto/Naruko following her without her knowledge, (information she gathered through her travels through different countries) in a rage. Barging into the Sandime's office (setting off the ANBU inside, to which Hiruzen holds up a hand to tell them to "hold.") she accuses him of having some of the most heartless SOB villagers that have ever existed. After words are exchanged she leaves the office in a huff after Hiruzen promises that he'll get Naruto/Naruko an apartment on the village's dime. After seeing the raw strength (which was amplified by her armor) that Carolina possessed opening the Sandime's office he/she asks to be trained by Carolina; to which she originally declines but gives in after the infamous "puppy dog eyes jutsu."
Concept: The idea behind this is that the planet (which is never named by the way) is in fact the one that the Project Freelancer ship Mother of Invention lands on in the season 10 finale, on which the continent that they land on is in the Land of Iron in the northern-most part of their territory. Then there's the fact that there are so many years between seasons 1 and 10 in terms of events that this could be totally plausible. The main premise is that Naruto or Fem!Naruto gets trained Project Freelancer style while also getting trained as a Shinobi or Kunoichi (gender-specific obviously). Romance options are allowed, however, Carolina is out since she will be seen as a teacher/sister rather than a romance option.
Absolutes: The author that accepts this challenge MUST have a decent knowledge of both series or utilize each series' wiki pages. If you use the Japanese versions of the Jutsu you must either have the translated version in English in parenthesis after it or at the end of the chapter in an author's note. Pairings are up to the author, however, they must be of the opposite sex. References to other series (other anime and otherwise) is allowed. Lemons and limes are allowed.

Type: Crossover
Universes: Harry Potter x Die Hard
Genre: Adventure/Action
Main characters: John McClane, Harry P.
Language: English
Plot: While on vacation in London John finds abused and neglected Harry left to die in the streets. Puts away his aunt and uncle with help from Scotland Yard, adopts him into the McClane family, and then the author will take it from there.

Title: [Up to the author]
Type: Crossover
Universes: Harry Potter x Constantine (TV series - 2014)
Genre: Supernatural/Adventure/Horror
Main characters: John Constantine, Chas Chandler, Harry P., (additional characters may be added as well)
Language: English
Plot: I'm pretty much leaving this to the challengee. Will be filled in with the plot from the story when created and posted.
Concept: The Harry Potter universe is filled with supernatural beings and events like splitting your soul into a horcrux, why can't angels and demons fit into it as well?
Absolutes: Good grammar, research/knowledge of both series, no slash. Must be at least the length of a full hour-long episode minimum, interpret that however you will. Does not need to be Epic length.
Challenge accepted by:
Title: It's Always Sunny in Konoha
Type: Crossover (technically)
Universes: Naruto x It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Genre: Humor (possibly romance?)
Main characters: Up to the author
Language: English
Rating: M
Plot: After the Fourth Great Shinobi War life begins to go back to normal for all who were involved in it. For four of these shinobi, they decided to start their own bar whether it be for money, booze, or women.
Concept: I've been on an It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia binge and thought that this would be pretty funny to see/read.
Absolutes: Good grammar. A sense of humor. Picking characters that would mesh like the ones in It's Always Sunny. Romance and lemon/limes are allowed, preferably no yaoi/slash. Cannon characters and OC's are more than allowed, in fact, they are encouraged.
Challenge accepted by:
Title: [Up to author]
Type: Crossover
Universes: Red vs. Blue and Infinite Stratos
Genre: Action/Adventure
Sub-genre: Romance (but as a subplot)
Main characters: The Director, The Freelancers, IS academy students
Language: English
Rating: M
Plot: Ever since the Covenant attacked Harvest a project was put on hold, now that the war is over it may begin again. Governments on UNSC held words are starting to use these new peacekeepers instead of soldiers. This has lead to the reemergence of PMC's which died off during the 21st century. One of these PMC's on loan to the UNSC is known only as "Project Freelancer." They're the best of the best and use any technology whether it be Covenant, Human (UNSC and IS based), or alien. The "IS Program" is another on loan, and the technology they've developed is just as good, if not better. However, the IS program has been keeping secrets far too long. What happens when a crew of Freelancers performs a heist on an IS base?
Concept: This would be an IS based fic inside of the Haloverse/RvB-verse (as those two share events). The IS Academy is training the next generation of soldiers/peacekeepers after the Human-Covenant War. I've checked, this would be the ONLY RvB x IS crossover that would be on this site, so those that are interested should keep that in mind. The idea would be that these two PMC's are competing for dominance in the human colonies. Yeah not a great synopsis, but anyone willing to take the idea is welcome to change anything as they see fit (descriptions here will be changed if that happens).
Absolutes: Good grammar, good knowledge or use of the IS wiki page and the RvB wiki page (also Halo for technology as Halo and RvB share the same universe). No yaoi. Fem!slash is ok. No gender-swapping established characters. Lemons/limes are allowed as is fanservice, but don't go overkill on it (ie: one per chapter). OC's are allowed as long as their existence and role in the story is explained.

Title: [Author's choice]
Type: Crossover
Universes: Red vs. Blue and Naruto
Genre: Action/Adventure, Sci-Fi
Main characters: Naruto U., Naruko U., Minato N., Alpha
Sub-genre: Romance sub-plot
Language: English
Rating: T or M depending on how graphic it is written.
Plot: Naruto was ten when the Kyuubi attacked the Leaf and his sister had the demon sealed inside her. For whatever reason Kami's grace allowed both Minato and Kushina to live on with their lives. Ever since then Naruto was cast aside for his younger "hero" sister. His parents don't even care if he becomes a ninja or becomes a civilian. He vowed that day that he would create something. Something that would be forever known, as Project Freelancer after finding an entity known as The Alpha. With new friends and allies, how will Konoha and her enemies and allies fare?
Concept: I've been reading quite a few abandonment fics involving Naruto being cast aside for a sibling who has either the chakra while he holds the consciousness, or the sibling has it sealed in its entirety. This is my little twist where Naruto becomes The Director after finding the Alpha AI fragment, forming his own mercenary unit called the Freelancers. I've seen so few Naruto x RvB so I thought I would throw this out there and see if anyone would take it. Otherwise, I just might.
Absolutes: Good grammar and spelling. Liberal use of the RvB wiki and Naruto wiki pages. Romance options are to be kept in Naruto's age group. So he would be approximately 20-21 at the beginning of the canonical story. So no creepy pairings. No yaoi. Lemons and limes may be used as "treats" for the audience, not as a plot seller (if used bump rating up to M).
Challenge accepted by: (Me, if no one takes it. I think it would be interesting.)
Title: The Twins
Type: Crossover
Universes: Red vs. Blue and Naruto
Genre: Action/Adventure, Sci-Fi
Main characters: Naruto U., Naruko U., The Freelancers, The Director (Dr. Leonard Church)
Sub-genre: Romance sub-plot
Language: English
Rating: T or M depending on how graphic it is written.
Plot: The Uzumaki twins lost both of their parents the same day that the Kyuubi was killed. All of the villagers and a minority of the shinobi forces see the two as demonspawn the need to be culled. After escaping a particularly nasty birthday "surprise" by the drunk and disorderly villagers and still mourning shinobi, they find themselves on the outskirts of the village. A man who was watching it all from afar approaches the two with a proposition after introducing himself as Dr. Church. They accept, and are given the misnomer "The Twins," or more commonly known as North and South Dakota.
Concept: I thought it would be nice to have a little fun with North and South's backstory, as there isn't much as they're there in RvB Season 9 as well as North and South in the Recovery One mini-series where North dies, as does South later. The idea is for them to eventually go back to the Elemental Nations on whatever rock they're on in the 'verse and kick-ass PFL style.
Absolutes: As always I'm a hardass on grammar and spelling as well as knowing the lore that's in both series, so read up y'all. No twincest (even though some think that it is "wincest"). The only confirmed pairing right out of the gate is Agents York and Carolina as they broke up during season 10. No spontaneous pairings "just because." There's a reason there's a romance sub-plot rather than in your face about it. Lemons and limes may be used if done so sparingly to support the story rather than just to use it as a selling point.
Challenge accepted by:
Title: [Author's call]
Type: Standard fic
Universe: Naruto
Genre: Action, Drama
Main characters: Naruto U., OC, Team 7
Sub-genre: Romance subplot
Language: English
Rating: T or M depending on graphic descriptions
Plot: After returning Sasuke to the Leaf, Naruto was banished for harming the Council's precious Uchiha when capturing him. Naruto packs up whatever belongings he has left, says "goodbye" to those who were actually friends with him, and leaves the village for good. Fifteen years pass and Naruto has built himself a new life in New York City as a member of the NYPD's SWAT team. He has a steady job, a beautiful long-term girlfriend living with him in his apartment, and life couldn't be better. Meanwhile back in the Elemental Nations a total recall of all hosts to tailed beasts. When Naruto failed to appear anywhere a search party was sent out. The only clue they got from Inari was that Naruto was headed to the Outer Nations. However, the Leaf isn't the only one looking for him.
Concept: Now the reason I thought this concept up is I've read a lot of banishment fics and have yet to see one where the Elemental Nations reside in a pocket dimension inside of the Dragon's Triangle. That would explain why Japanese would be the dominant language as well as customs other than just Kishi's preference for them rather than another language or custom. Why New York City? Well, it's hard to find someone who doesn't want to be found in a city of millions.
Absolutes: Good grammar and spelling. Realistic situations and reasonable reactions from the public and government when Akatsuki starts showing up. Lemons or limes may be used, but make it so that they can be skipped and no plot is missed. A reasonable and believable romance between Naruto and the OC girlfriend. A decent understanding of Naruto lore.

Title: [Author's choice]
Type: Crossover
Universes: Harry Potter x NCIS
Genre: Action, Drama, Crime
Main characters: Harry P., Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Abby S., Albus "Many names" D., Fleur D.
Sub-genre: Romance
Language: English
Rating: T
Plot: The year is 2000. One week before Voldemort's assault on Potter Manor a contingency was put into motion by Lilly as a last resort should they die at Voldemort's hand. This plan was not told to James, Sirius, Remus, or Dumbledore as it involved the fusion of mundane quantum mechanics and magic itself. The week passed in peace until Voldemort and his followers attacked, killing James who was giving Lilly the time she needed. As she lay dying, she initiated her plan. A rift opened, taking little Harry away to parts unknown, warping the Killing Curse, bending it to strike Voldemort himself. Meanwhile, in a small town in Virginia, a couple walked through a park, depressed at the news that they were incapable of having children. When suddenly a child literally drops into the woman's lap. Twenty-five years pass and James "Jimmy" Anderson is in the middle of an NCIS investigation to apprehend a murderer. As soon as he kicks in a door he appears inside a medieval-styled castle hall with a sub-machine gun raised, with a very confused expression on his face. Mere minutes earlier in Hogwarts the Goblet of Fire spits out the name "Harry Potter" and it is near whispered by Albus, only for a man decked out in a kevlar vest with "NCIS" emblazoned on the back holding a muggle firearm appeared. Now the question on Albus's mind is "what happened to 'young' Harry years prior, and why does he look MUCH older than a fourteen-year-old?"
Concept: Now I've read quite a few NCIS crossover fics, but I have yet to see one where Harry is sent into the past into another family wishing for a child, only for it to come true. Why the past? Well, I've seen so many (and well done) fics done where Gibbs adopts Harry or where the service does an investigation on why he was treated so poorly at the Dursley's residence, but never one like this. Plus we can't have a fourteen-year-old being in a federal law enforcement agency, magical or not. Making this an interesting title in concept. The reason for the year 2000 instead of 1981 is because the first season of NCIS started in 2003, meaning this would take place during season 2 at least in terms of events. However, he will be sent back to 1975 thanks to the hybrid ritual that Lilly performs on the night of her death. From what I have gathered there is no actual time-travel fic that involves NCIS like this of this nature. So again, one more original title. As for who Harry/Jimmy will be paired up with as there is a sub-genre of "romance" is up in the air as this isn't necessarily an immediate concern and can emerge in later chapters. Probable pairings are Harry and Abby or Harry and Fleur. It all depends on how the story is written.
Absolutes: Good grammar and spelling. Knowledge of both NCIS and Harry Potter, make use of their respective wikis. A believable romance as well as situations written. No lemons or limes, however insinuations are allowed (ie: hard cut-aways). If Harry is paired up with Fleur, make sure there's a believable reason to why as in the eyes of mundane society she is still a minor, though the age of consent is under 18 in both France and the UK. As for Abby, well she's always been one of my more favorite characters in the NCIS-verse. No slash. No harems as it wouldn't work in this situation. Proofread or get a grammar/spelling based beta.
Challenge accepted by: Me to an extent, I created a pilot chapter in my repository based on this idea.
Title: The Saintly Wizard (title subject to change)
Type: Crossover
Universes: Harry Potter x Saints Row
Genre: Comedy, Adventure, Crime
Main characters: Harry P., The Boss, Johnny Gat, Shaundi
Language: English
Rating: M, it's Saints Row guys what other rating would it be?
Plot: In 1984 the Dursleys made a trip to Stillwater for Vernon's work. Due to Mrs. Figg being sick that entire month, they were forced to take the "Freak" with them. They made their way into one of the seedier parts of town just to ditch Harry in a dark alleyway. Days pass for the child. He is forced to live off the scraps of others by digging through the garbage. He is later found by the Boss of the Third Street Saints and taken in as one of their own, a brother in all but blood. Years pass and the events of the end of the first and second game. Harry is now thirteen. One day a bird with a letter arrives for him for "magic school." He begrudgingly accepts. How will Hogwarts cope with a Saint as a student?
Concept: No real concept. Just something that just came to mind. However, a Harry raised by the Saints as a brother in their social club would certainly be interesting considering how destructive and chaotic just Johnny Gat and the Boss are.
Absolutes: Good grammar and spelling, the whole nine yards here. Knowledge of both series. For the sake of the story, the fourth Saints Row game does not happen at all, completely disregard it.

Type: Crossover
Universes: Harry Potter x Battlefield Hardline
Genre: Action, Adventure
Main characters: Harry P.
Rating: T-M
Language: English
Plot: Harry is a detective in the Miami-Dade police department. He's seen many things that he'd like to unsee, but can't. One case has him rattled, memories stir that has been locked away for decades. It all starts with, "You're a wizard, Harry."
Concept: Just a fun idea that popped into my head. I liked playing Hardline and thought that story in the Battlefield-verse was quite interesting. The one that accepts this can work with this as much as they want.
Absolutes: Good spelling and grammar.

They dump him in the middle of LA just to see him suffer for being a "fraud." However Harry doesn't die, he finds a purpose by boosting cars. His skill is noticed by Dom and Letty.
Concept: One of my favorite "stupid fun" series is, of course, the Fast and the Furious series, it's just loads of fun to watch regardless of how illogical it can get at times.
Absolutes: Good grammar and spelling. NO SLASH! I'm dead serious.
