elevensies poll!

I'm getting ready to start on my spn_harlequin fic and I need your help. My prompt is:

For Amy Logan, living with wildly attractive widower Dan Major for the past three years was a fantasy come true…even if it was only as nanny to his six-year-old daughter. But now Dan had just stunned her with a proposal every woman dreams of-and one she couldn't possibly

Jared as a governess could just lead to all sorts of meangirl!fic esque genderswap which could be so awesome. Plus, Jared being all Mary Poppins with a bunch of surly mini!Jensens would be awesome. :)

[lafiammatabella]

I just realized how much I overuse the word awesome *facepalm*

[phaballa]

NEVER!!

[phaballa]

I think if Jared were the Mary Poppins, there would only be 2 kids (like in the movie), but yes, Jensen would be all surly. And they would have arguments about pigeons being rats with wings and diseased and Jensen would think they should all die of starvation and Jared will sing a song about the beauty of nature and how birds are awesome and stuff :P

[topaz119]

Hmm, so I picked modern day, and Jared being the nanny, because really, how awesome would it be to have an overgrown puppy for a nanny? Way too much fun and warm fuzzies. And that stays the same for a Jane Eyre meld. BUT. If it's Mary Poppins, then Jensen gets to be Mary, because he could pull off the serious, no-nonsense-on-the-outside, secret-hedonist-on-the-inside attitude. (Chad gets cast as Bert, the chimney sweep. Who dances with penguins. *koff*)

um, no, I don't much feel like working; why do you ask?

[phaballa]

...Jared-puppy makes me thing of a Peter Pan-esque nanny, who's actually a dog. OMG, how adorable would that be? But I suppose that probably would not work for the whole getting married bit :P

Jensen would SO be Mary Poppins. Jensen is magic!

[bluevsgrey]

If he was a dog, you could always have him turn into a man after getting a kiss from his prince.

[phaballa]

Urgh. I don't think that would really fit the prompt, but regardless, that's a squick of mine I'm not going to get past. I can't take people kissing thier animals. Ick.

It should be a Georgette Heyer spoof.

Also, in spite of my answers, I love SGDWW, if only for how earnest JC was while doing the promo, so excited to have discovered something new, that no one else had ever written a song about, ever!

[phaballa]

Oh, I fucking LOVE that song. Ridiculous amounts. And I sing it loudly and proudly, especially when I'm drunk in the hotel elevators at fan cons. *cough* And I know that JC doesn't mean it in a mysoginistic way. Plus, he's pretty much right about it :P

I don't think I know Georgette Heyer!

[withdiamonds]

When we're in the car, I sing and Ashley does the ODB rap. And of course he doesn't mean it in a mysoginistic way, he means it in a sexy way!

Georgette Heyer was a Regency romance writer, the most fabulous one ever. You should so give her a try. She kind of transitions the genre from Jane Austen to modern romance writers.

[phaballa]

I'm pretty sure it's like, the musical version of JC's sociological study of the behavior of people at clubs. I bet he's got a whole essay written on it. That only sort of tangents of into porn at the very end :P

I will give her a chance! I think if I do an historical AU (which, polls are not in favor, so), I'd keep it in America, choose a city I know well enough to write about. I was thinking Charleston, during Reconstruction or something. Jensen could be a carpet bagger type, Jared could be the poor relation of an old, well-respected family who just wants to get rid of him... you see where this is going.

[prysmicdork]

I may have voted for both the Jared and Merry Poppins options, but I'm not sure they work together! Because he's such a big giant goofy dork. Whereas Jensen would be all eyebrows of disapproval, take your medicine.

(Also, I may have a not so secret love for the 'mami' parts of Some Girls *hangs head in shame*)

[phaballa]

I like the bit where he says, "I wanna dance with you mami, I wanna freak you girl!" :P

Yeah, if I do the Mary Poppins one, it'll definitely be Jensen as Mary. But I think probably I'll be doing a modern day fic. At least, that's what the polls seem to indicate!

[prysmicdork]

Ha, it's just so JC. Sexy and dorky at the same time. (Man has that song grown on me though. The first time I heard it I was all, huh? But now it's one of my favorites and I feel compelled to sing along).

You could do modern day Mary Poppins?

[elucidate_this]

Oh Some Girls.

That song makes me feel conflicted. I want to dislike it, because the premise is so offensive. and yet i adore it. because it is hilarious and delightful and cracky and, you know, good. And I agree with what you guys have said above, i don't think it's meant offensively and i do think that the faux lesbian dance is a genuine phenomenon.

But it still makes me feel all politically angsty. And it's definitely the only JC song I have trouble owning up to liking when I'm with my friends. [Not that anyone has ever listened to any of his songs unless i've made them]

[phaballa]

The first time I heard it I was all offended on behalf of my bisexual nature, but I got over it, clearly. Because he's so PLEASED about it. And he thinks it's so sexy, which is adorable :P
