Crowning Music Of Awesome. Cool.
What did I find today but a LJ community called (okay, still can't hotlink normally, maybe if I copy-paste) brains_in_a_jar, which is about taking relationships in various fandoms and "giving one partner phenomenal cosmic powers and an itty bitty living space. Those phenomenal cosmic powers are a neural hookup to fly a spaceship and the inability to disengage it."
"Being stuck in a spaceship and feeling things as a spaceship does sounds like a pretty good deal, but it would require one to have a partner who could do things like interact face-to-face with passengers. That's where the danger and romance comes in, because if one person is confined forever to a ship and the other is not, and then they fall in love, great drama will indubitably ensue. But romance and faster-than-light travel aren't the only things here. What makes a person, beyond the physical? How do we relate with each other? When is different too different, and when isn't it? "
Just like McCaffrey's Ship Who Sang 'verse! I loved the concept in those books, but I just didn't like the writer much. Anyway, there is a story here where Wolverine is a plane. In the nineteen fifties. And befriends a child Scott Summers. Unfortunately, all the others are romance and fandoms that I'm not familiar with. Except for the Tony/Steve one that linked me to this community. And a couple Xmen ones that I didn't find interesting.
I friended it just on a matter of principle. Hells, if "Walker Imperial Ranger" ever gets finished... well, no, I probably wouldn't make a post there, it's been defunct for a year and I haven't so much as introduced myself. Sadly, there aren't any f-locked posts. Ooooh...
Star Wars
carmarthen - Star Wars, with Darth Vader as the ship and either Luke Skywalker or Leia Organa as the pilot
Damn it, it wasn't linked to in the comm, so I concluded it never got written. A furious search through that particular journal ensued. I hate lack of tag clouds... fortunately, there is the calender thing for 2007. Hmm. She(I'm assuming female) has a list that I'll LJ-cut.
01:54 pm - Scenes and themes I write over and over
1. People conversing over tea. This is funny because in real life, I don't really like tea (except chai) and almost never hang out drinking tea with people.
2. Character A almost dying and realizing by Character B's panic that ze cares about A. Not necessarily romantic. I blame this on Sherlock Holmes.
3. Characters in the desert. I have an obsession with deserts.
4. Character realizing that ze (usually she) has found zir niche in life, usually professionally.
5. Characters growing older. I love seeing young characters 20 years down the line, or 40.
6. Characters awkwardly declaring love without explicitly doing so--either non-verbally or on the slant.
7. Warriors before battle.
8. Characters growing up.
9. People who put duty to a greater cause before love.
Also, ah, she writes and links to Tamora Pierce fanfiction, and likes Kel. Ahhh. That's the pleased sigh, not the scream. And used to like Lackey a lot more than she does now! And likes dinosaurs! "Every fandom needs more dinosaurs". Awesome.
Hmm. To stalk, or not to stalk? Hells, I might just post. My other stalkedjournals haven't even warranted a mention in my posts.
So sad that apparently the brainship fic never got completed. *sigh* That's life.
