Gosh, I haven't read The Dispossessed in ages, but it's a very important book for me, too. I first read it in my early teens and it had a huge impact on me, but now I realize that I have forgotten a lot of the details! I have only a very general memory of Shevek's conversation with Keng, for example.
I was a little surprised to see that you have a short description of each fandom at the beginning of your notes for the specific prompts. I see that this would be useful, given that the writer almost certainly won't be familiar with all of the fandoms and may be familiar only with the one on which the match was based, but it hadn't occurred to me to do this. I assumed that if my writer wasn't familiar with a fandom they would just skip over it, but I suppose if it's a standalone novel, it would be possible to read it and write a fic based on it in the time allotted. Do you know if anybody ever does that?
