So here's what I've got in mind for this one.
Option 1: "You Pick 2... or 3"
Choose 1 from a list of 3-4 genres
Choose 1 from a list of Character types/pairings (canon + canon, canon + OC, etc.)
Choose 1 from a list of 3-4 conflicts
---------------------------------------
Option 2: "PoV Party"
Write the same event (wedding, accident, character death, whatever you choose) from 2-5 different canon characters' perspectives. Can be coupled with other options for a jumping-off point.
---------------------------------------
Option 3: "Roll Credits"
You choose your fandom, specifying a particular movie or incarnation (say Star Trek Next Generation); I find the movie/show on IMDB (the Internet Move Data Base), roll a die, and the # character on the credits as listed on the website is your starting/main character for the challenge.
Cue input from the participants...

Sounds interesting... but what conflict list are we picking from?

Sounds good  - for the roll credits does it matter if you pick a tv show not a film - not that I will - just as a hypothesis |

Thanks, Neu, I can see you've put a lot of thought and time into this.
I'm a bit asea, but guess I see how it could go, but there are alot of variables ...

Okay, so people are confused. About what, specifically? I'm happy to explain further.

Spirit: That hasn't been determined yet. I wanted to get feedback on the idea before I started potentially confusing people w/ specifics. But, the conflict could be something like "running late" or "getting lost".
Pipio: To the best of my knowledge, most of the TV shows archived here are available on IMDB- http://www.imdb.com/ . If somebody doesn't find theirs, I can use a show-specific site that lists the cast the same way.

I'm not sure if that's a typo or an acronym I'm not familiar with, but I'm not sure what you mean NB.

Oh. This actually sounds cool. I might take a stab at it. ^^

I swear to God I've had to use that in the crossword puzzle only last week; there I go taking Will Shortz as an authority on language again. 
I meant 'confused', but I think I understand now. You know me, I think the fewer choices I have the more challenging a challenge is, but you want to be inclusive and for our first open 'verse (as it were) fic I agree that inclusiveness is good.
I'm all in.
