Dude, you nearly gave me a heartattack! I was all "I've been trying to write these for almost a year now and she did all of those in a whiff!"

...and then I realized they all just link back to your journal. BIG RELIEF. Yes, I'm that shallow.

Hmm, what'll you write about? Pyro/Rogue perhaps? o.O

Also totally stole this from me.

Fact.

(Oh, it's good you mentioned that; I need to take those links off! Thanks :D)

And yeah, I've been admiring this thing at your journal for a while now but it's the first time I've actually FELT trying it out :D -- but dude, we both stole it from prefer_my_life;) and that's a fact!

Don't think I'll be writing any ryro here -- I'll save those to my 50scenes challenge even though the claim is frozen these days. Still. For this one, the pairings I've planned (make no promises, though) are ( ... )

4) ? ...ideas? Suggestions?

Me? Always! Although I'm not sure if you're familiar with these fandoms or not... I suppose I can always try and pimp these ;)

X-Men First Class - Charlie/Raven, Raven/Erik... can you tell I loved this movie? I mean really really loved? If you haven't seen this yet, do so now. I'm sure you'll love these three in it as much as I did. Plus it'd be a dream come true if you wrote some Fassbender!Magneto for me. You did so good with Pyro. ;)

Predators - Isabelle/Royce... I've been hoping for a muse for these two myself. Have you even seen this movie? Did it not scream shipper? Did it not scream couples with issues? Wasn't Brody a meltworthy with his sixpack? Pleeeeeaaaasseeee...?

Ginger Snaps - Brigitte/Tyler "why hasn't this happened yet?", is a question that still puzzles me from time to time.

And I have no idea what TV shows you even watch nowadays. I'll suggest anyway. Maybe you'll see something you like, hmm?

Game of Thrones - Jamie/Cersei or Ned/Cersei, because Lena Headey owns my soul. And I like ( ... )

Also Nikita - Nikita/Owen, Nikita/Birkoff, Nikita/Michael... because you know, they're beautiful and Nikita is the most kickass show on tv? ;)

Oh, this one tickles me too. I might even go for this. The only trouble I might face with it, though, is that I've never been good writing spy!shows, which is why I NEVER wrote Alias fics though I really wanted to. The whole language and the way they think is sooooo out of reach, somehow. But definitely a nice idea ;D

AHA, had it saved!! ---

I seriously need to start watching shows and movies again after we're done with SPN with the boyfriend. You've been mentioning a few that really tickle me but alas, aren't familiar with those yet.

Them being
1. X-Men First Class, I CAN'T BELIEVE I STILL HAVE NOT WATCHED IT. WHAT THE FUCK??? *goes to find it*
Game of Thrones
Witchblade

As for the rest, let's see...

Never been that familiar with Predators, can hardly remember anything. I could perhaps re-watch it just to see if it flows my boat, still.

Ginger Snaps - Brigitte/Tyler "why hasn't this happened yet?", is a question that still puzzles me from time to time.
Holy shit. Right now I'm thinking the exact same thing. I have no idea why this idea has never crossed my mind. I need to re-watch the movie, though. I think maybe I've never written this pairing because I've always felt I'd fuck them up, you know? You're the GS-writing-goddess here, not me.

Supernatural - Dean/Anna or Castiel/Anna or Jo/Lucifer, because I hate this show and it always kills ( ... )

Yes my brain is very disappointed with you about these three:
1. X-Men First Class
2. Game of Thrones
3. Witchblade

I just rewatched Predators and I've read some great great Royce/Isabelle fics for it. I think your narrating skills would do wonders for these. But if you don't feel it, you don't. Try rewatching.

You're the reason I even ship Brigitte/Tyler, you know? Go watch that "Striken" vid and get back to me. Oh and I have tried these too, but I don't think Snaps-fic did them any justice. I still have anger issues with B for stabbing my girl ;) OR MAYBE WRITE AN AU FOR GS3 with TYLER IN IT?!!

I only mentioned those SPN ships, because I know you love SPN. I'm not a huge SPN shipper or lover at the moment, so they're not my top priority.

Ah, yes, you DID watch Fringe. How you could stop watching has me puzzled though. It it such riveting shit, nothing else beats it right now. Go read some good Lincoln/Alt!Livia+baby fics. They're all so goddamn perfect.

Harper's Island had it's fault but an unattractive cast was not one ( ... )

I stopped watching Fringe because I didn't have time to watch anything (took a break with even Nikita, you know) and 'cause I actually like watching the episodes as a marathon instead of waiting forever for the next one to come out. I haven't even watched the new Supernatural eps because I'm gonna watch them with the male-being later... I sort of promised and I'm totally okay with it because I seriously don't have time to download everything. We should get season 5 box sometime this week (it only took us a a few weeks to get through season 4), sigh.

I wish I had Harper's Island box! I never even saw all the episodes, because of work -- and when I realized the reruns were on, the show only had few episodes left (which I'd seen, argh!). I might have to watch this from the beginning, too. It was deliciously twisted, uh huh.

Then don't throw in any spy stuff? Just focus on the calm before the storm, maybe? Or have Nikita hiding out with someone, waiting for the storm to blow over. There is no need for plot in a standalone. Just write the characters. Or maybe have Nikita go through a similar mindfuck experince that Alex did? ;)

charming_syrai July 22 2011, 10:16:21 UTC
Oh, I know there's no need for an actual "plot" which is the only reason I'm even considering writing this :D Thanks for the extra ideas, though, always appreciated.

(why are we not on msn if you're online, i wonder?)

Ah, naturally. I figured that could be it, I keep forgetting it's Friday since I've worked 8 days straight --- Thankfully I have a night shift ahead of me (um, which is why I should soon go to bed for a few hours) followed by two day-offs so I have plenty of time to think of these :DDD

I just wrote a really long reply and this whole goddamn thing ate it? ARGH.

JUST SO YOU KNOW. I'm actually contemplating on trying to write a Dragon Age fic. If you have any fic reccs, I'd love them A LOT. Standalones, pretty please???

I root for f!Hawke and Fenris in the game, mainly 'cause I dig Fenris a lot, but there's also something about Alistair that gets to me... in I my mage had the hots for him, sigh (in fact, the idea of writing of her/Alistair tickles me. A fact is, she made him the king and he betrayed her, which made me so freakin' angry. She was being noble and he was being an ass. MEN!).

Bethany, I loved her, too (and Morrigan, but that I suppose you already guessed).

So, what characters/ships would you prefer (not that it would make a difference, in the end, if they don't click with mine, but I am curious!!)? Just no that I never fanned Zevran the way I'm sure you did...

Really? I just came here to check which one you'd picked and I was sure it wouldn't be DA ;) You did get that the Wardens, no matter which you pick, are all called by their last names in this fandom, right?

So characters I like:
- Flemeth
- Cullen (he's nifty when paired with Warden!Amell aka you with the Circle backstory)
- Bann Teagan is just sexy. I'd do that. ;)
- male!Hawke x Isabella
- Zevran x Tabris!Warden (city elf)
- drunken Alistair in DA2 (after you break his heart by choosing Loghain, which I did when my mage aka Amnell was romancing him)... and eventually Teagan comes in gets him back to Fereldan from the Hanging Man.
- fem!Hawke x Fenris (I romanced him with a rogue, it was true love, aaahhhh)
- dirty!Sebastian x Hawke (someone wrote him as a deliciously evil and perverted ruler with submissive Hawke and I liiiiiiiked it) Sebastian is a DLC, btw.

Lots of excellent fics in dragonage, but since LJ is fucked up I can't do the search for you. FF.net has more Mary Sues and badfic. Ohhh, but I do have link to the never ending ( ... )
