Help Me Decide What To Write

I've signed up for ds_c6d_bigbang (pretend to be shocked, okay?) and I'm trying to decide what story I should write. So, um, a little help?

F/K wildlife scientist AU! Fraser literally lives among the muskoxen.

Chris, that is a ridiculous idea! I love it! ♥ If I knew anything at all about science (rather than, say, prostitution) I'd totally write that one!

*pointed glance at Meres* :D

What I know about wildlife biology is... Look, I'm a biochemist.

Well, okay, my knowledge is varied, but what I know of ecology is A) usually only applicable in Ontario and B) often tree- or lake-related. IDEK.

I do have a friend who worked at a polar bear habitat I could harass, though.

There are trees around Inuvik... Or Fraser could be posted to northern Ontario! He'd grumble about how it was overpopulated and too warm.

[meresy]

Ha! Knowing his luck he'd end up in Timmins investigating vandalism at the Giant Tiger.

[nos4a2no9]

Meres, that is truly a fate worse than DEATH. Timmins is, like, worse than Vanderhoof!

[meresy]

I could have ended up in Sudbury! He should count his blessings!

*sings SUDBURY SATURDAY NIGHT at top of very considerable lungs in your general direction*

If you did? I would totally make you a curling musk-ox icon.

For serious. &hearts!

OOH! OOH OOH OOH!!! Like Farley Mowat's Never Cry Wolf except it's Never Cry Muskox! *glee!flail*

[the_antichris]

OMG I has to read that. And see? We need this fic! It even has a title.

I'm seeing Fraser having to work on wolves instead of muskoxen because of cut-throat zoologist politics involving his father, and then there's a half-dog pup that gets rejected by the pack, and all his training says he should let nature take its course, but it follows him back to camp one day and from then on they are snarkily inseparable. And the wolves are fluffy and Ray's hair is spiky and it is Thematic.

You SO need to read that book! It's set in the remotest part of northern Canada at pretty much exactly the same time that Bob Fraser would have been stationed up there. I desperately want someone to write Bob backstory where he runs into Farley and... interesting things happen! I don't even know what. But wolves! And Inuit and hunters and caribou and governmental/bureaucratic idiocy! It is such a natural!

And if it were all to be moved up to the 1990s, I just LOVE the visual of Benton Fraser running stark naked with the caribou herd. *hearts and hearts*
