lokifan: 3 fics you want to exist
Great question! I always feel like the fics I want exist only in my brain, or would be interesting only to me. As such, I usually just go ahead and write variations on themes I want, instead of waiting around for fics that include them to turn up, so for the sake of getting the number down to three, I've not included things that I have actual plans to write myself.
- Harem fic (the ridiculously silly, very cliched, extremely trope-ified kind with 'Lord Potter Black', not just any fic involving a harem) featuring characters other than Harry. Preferably Luna (with a harem full of Slytherins, yes please), or Sirius (and you know he'd share it with his friends), or Lucius! (with peacocks as well as humans running around).
- Fic about Gilderoy Lockhart, inspired by the lyrics of Teen Idle by Marina and the Diamonds (namely "I wish I wan't such a narcissist. I wish I didn't really kiss the mirror when I'm on my own. Oh God, I'm going to die alone") (I prompt this at every opportunity, but I'd really like something here longer than 500 words)
- Life-story!fic about Helena Ravenclaw, preferably including Helena/Baron and Helena/Tom Riddle. (and hell, since I'm talking about things I want to exist rather than things that I particularly expect to exist, let's throw Helena/Albus in there too)
And a general question to all of you: when you come up with an idea that you want to read about, are you more likely to hope someone else writes it, or start making plans (whether they will ever be fulfilled or not) to write it yourself?
Ask me questions. I have lots of free spaces left :)
