Rock Band and Fic Meme

Dec 02, 2007 22:05

We got Rock Band for the Xbox this weekend. Yeah, there went my Friday night. The highlight was playing "Don't Fear the Reaper" online with some of hubby's friends. Hubby got to proclaim "more cowbell!" He was lead singer, I just played "guitar". I can do drums pretty well on Easy mode, I just need to figure out that bass foot pedal.

It has the other famous Supernatural song "Foreplay/LongTime" by Boston, but we haven't unlocked it yet. We played Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive" so many times it's STILL stuck in my head. I tried my hand at singing and giggled through the entire song.

Anyway, a meme:

1. It has some weird pairing that no one's ever written before. Fuuma/Aoki? Sure. Jack O'Neill/Paul Davis? Hey, it was rare when *I* started writing it, whippersnappers! Bruce Wayne/Severus Snape? No problem. John Winchester/Jack O'Neill? It's possible!

2. It's a crossover in some way. Could be with Real Life, or a fandom that has absolutely nothing to do with the source material. See the Star Wars/Supernatural fic, oh, or how about Temaraire/Supernatural?

3. There's a Librarian or a Library mentioned somewhere. Maybe all the characters end up being Librarians in an AU somewhere.

4. It's a futurefic and all the characters are married, paired off, having kids and/or possibly cheating on each other with slashy pairings. Started this trend with one of my first fanfics, X/2099 I think one of the criticisms I got on it was that the original source had characters who were more monogamous...

5. There will be a rush of fic in the same fandom, like 5 or 6 written in a short amount of time, and then nothing for years afterwards...

6. Strange things happen to good characters. Like they suddenly have living pregnant cars...*whistles innocently*

7. I somehow bring the characters to New Jersey. Did this to Jack and Daniel AND Sam and Dean. Then I have that one AU where Paul Davis is really the son of an Italian mob boss from Jersey... (BTW, do you know how long it took me to find that fic???? UGH. Tags it)

8. There will be a whole lot of slash, and then suddenly a het fic will appear out of nowhere. And it'll be a weird het pairing. *looks at Paul/Cassie fic*

9. Most of the fic will fall between 4,000 and 15,000 words. No multi-chaptered wips, but nothing under 1,000 words either.

10. The title comes from a song lyric, a movie, or a novel title.
