So if I beg prettily can we get the AU as a full-blown fic. LOVE the idea of Gibbs as Tony's bodyguard...and I'm not normally an AU fan.

I really like all of these. It's a fun idea.

[bananacosmic]

I loved the idea - it's really hard to get the point across in so few words.

*g* I do need something to write for my NCIS Big bang... *ponders* *tries to feed muses*

[webbgirl]

Shorter can be sooo much harder.

Picturing Tony as a high profile business man in sunglasses and an expensive tailored suit greeting Gibbs as his bodyguard. It could be a really interesting AU that would still play in very well to the essence of both of their characters.

[bananacosmic]

Shorter is harder, usually. It really forces one to pick each word carefully.

It's actually a very interesting idea - especially as it's kinda easy to add a plot with exactly why Tony needs a bodyguard. Someone out to get him - that'd be fun :) Got any ideas to share with me to get me going? *g*

[tucker_liz]

Well...*fans self* So many interesting plot bunnies in here, so much said with just a tiny sentence or two.

[bananacosmic]

Glad you liked it :) It was a fun challenge, to get the point across in so few words ^^

[murgy31]

Wow... I would go with AU, First time, Fluff, H/C, Smut.... Those would be great as fics.... PLEEEEEEASE..... You are so talented...

[bananacosmic]

Thanks :) Glad you liked them. Maybe the AU *g* As I said to webbgirl, I need something for my NCIS Big bang...

[onlyonechoice]

That AU...omg.

piwrit_queen and I are writing something so similar it's eerie. *laughs* She needs to come online RIGHT NOW so I can tell her there's a hive mind thing going on!

[bananacosmic]

So will you be unhappy if I decide to go with that as my idea for the NCIS big bang? I don't mean to steal anyone's ideas 0_0 :)

[onlyonechoice]

As of now, we've been mostly just writing it back and forth and weren't sure if we were going to post it - if we did, it would be along the same lines as weighted_scales (posting scenes to an LJ specifically for that 'verse) and not really submitting it to any sort of contest.

Our concept started on two 'what if?'s:

What if Gibbs hadn't joined NCIS after Shannon and Kelly died, and gone into bodyguard/personal security work instead?

What if Tony had followed in his father's footsteps and become a semi-ruthless businessman, who was then forced by the Board of Directors to hire security when he hit his thirties?

And kind of spiraled from there.

I'd love to see what you'd do with whatever concept you had in mind. It's not a big deal to me, though if we do decide to post what we've done, I may add a disclaimer that our concepts were conceived independently to make sure we're not stepping on your toes :)

[bananacosmic]

Oh, NCIS Big bang isn't a contest - it's just a challenge to write a story that's 20 000 words or more :)

But that sounds good - even if we have the same general idea, fics always turn out so very differently in the hands of different authors :)

Ironically, I think I like the Smut one best. LOL. It's the first three words: "Tony licked him." Hee. On the actual show, such an action would probably earn him a headslap (especially if he did it to Gibbs like Ziva did to Tony during that sexual harassment seminar). I keep thinking about that potential visual, and laughing with great amusement and delight.

The Fluff one is really sweet, as is the First Time. And I dig your choice of crossover. Jane would be that abrupt, cut right to the chase, as it were. Nicely done. :)

I salute you, bananacosmic! I recently tried my hand at a few five-words-only descriptions for The West Wing and The X-Files, and it's a big challenge. It's also incredibly addictive. Once I did a few, I kept wanting to try more of them. You never know, you may find it nudging your muse more than you think. I hope so!

Happy Creativity! :)

[bananacosmic]

*snort* Very funny, now I can't get that visual out of my head.

I had some trouble with the crossover one - then it hit me, because Jane really would ^^ Gotta get it in there in ten words...

Thank you *hugs* It seems I'm jogging other people's creativity on what they think I should be writing, anyway *g* And yes, they are addictive. It's a fun challenge ^^

[sinkwriter]

Very funny, now I can't get that visual out of my head.

*sing-songy voice* You started it! You wrote the thing that put it in MY head.

;)

That crossover one is spot-on. Gotta love it when it finally comes to you after a mental struggle.

You should try some of the five-word ones! Maybe it will jog something for you. The place where I did mine for The West Wing said it could be five words capturing anything -- a character, a scene, an episode, a moment, a pairing, whatever you want.

*ponders this for NCIS and its characters* Hmmmmmmmm....

5 words for Ducky:
"I've got just the story!"

Heh.

5 words for Tony, "Missing":
Gibbs' anchoring voice through darkness.

I don't know! It's the best I can do in five minutes. LOL. *nudge nudge* Your turn.

*hugs* You'll write when your mind is ready, when something sparks your interest. :)

[bananacosmic]

Oh my - five words? That's awfully short ^^ I'll see what I can do with it *g* The Ducky one is perfect though :)
