So, it seems like the best way to enjoy The Vampire Diaries these days is to simply Go With The Crack. It's a thing. So I thought, why not celebrate that?! So, THIS! I have no idea whether this has been done/attempted before. I've not seen one quite like it but it seems like SUCH FUN so I kinda think I can't possibly be THAT ORIGINAL...!

Anyway, I

To be clear, I CANNOT AND WILL NOT PARTICIPATE.

But holy hell, does this sound like an insanely fun idea!

[waltzmatildah]

Good ideas. Sometimes I have them.

I'd have done it for GA but I'm not sure I'd have got the takers these days...

[leobrat]

I would have *liked* to participate in that, but (same as this one) I just know that I would see certain characters in a wildly different light than other people (though I believe that's probably the point).

[waltzmatildah]

That's the reason this is going to be entirely grounded in CRACK as opposed to SRSBZNS characterisation etc... ie. more about Damon and his persian rugs than his questionable moral standards. Klaus and his affinity for birthdays and horses as opposed to his inclination to KILL AT WILL.

Etc.

That's why it's about the crack. It's not about the in-depth characterisations/motivations/desires. It's about the truly awesome personality quirks they have that have reached pretty much standard acceptance levels.

Admittedly, there's probably more of them in the TVD world because those characters are basically MADE OF CRACK at this point. But Grey's has its fair share I think!

April and her lists/chore-wheels.
The Mark/Jackson co-dependency.
Lexie's nervous eating habit.
Alex's baby-healing chest of win!!
Arizona and her heelys. Or whatever they're called.

That sort of thing... (to give you a clearer example: I just finished part one of the TVD one, and it's basically Damon teaching Rebekah how to use a vacuum cleaner because she's never really seen one before, let alone had the chance to operate one...)

Anyway, the GA one is going to happen, so have a think about it. It's seriously all about fun. NO SRS BZNS TO BE HAD!

[leobrat]

:D I'm curious to see how it all turns out in the end. Are you going to label who has written each part?

[waltzmatildah]

Yeah, I think so. I'll see what the eventual participants think before I do and I'll try to make the labelling as unobtrusive as possible...

If the labels are distracting then I won't and I'll post a separate entry that makes it clear. Or something. Or, if participants would rather, then I won't...

Oh, WHO KNOW?! Haha! This is the worst answer of all time to a relatively straight-forward question. I think it must be bed time!
