The Best Plot Bunnies You've Never Seen

[clawofcat]

So, I thought we'd do something fun. I always get a bit antsy during finals since I barely see the light of day, so I need you, my flistees, to keep me company. Answering the writing meme from yesterday made me think about a few epic plots of mine that "got away" so to speak. I'm sure all us writers have 'em. Don't worry, I'm not asking you to

Well, I was thinking the other day how much I love Giles, and then I thought I should write some Giles porn. But who would I put him with? I thought Spike first, then Wesley, then Xander - and I hate Xander! Huh, I thought, do I only slash the G-man? What about the ladies? Don't they deserve hot librarian action?

So I couldn't decide on a lady I'd want paired with him. Anya - boring. Buffy - squick. Faith - related to Buffy-squick. Joyce? Been done.

Darla. I want desperately to see Giles/Darla. She's strong enough for him and different enough to be a foil.

But I've no idea how to get 'em together. Season one before her stakage? Somewhere between her leaving Angel and coming back mystically pregnant? *tries to think*

[clawofcat]

Here's a few ideas. The end of the BtVS S5, Buffy dies. There's a whole summer of unaccounted time for Giles and Darla both to take off from LA/Sunnydale for whatever reason. I could see Giles trying to get away for a bit to get his head straightened out after Buffy's death. It's possible that he could come across Darla on the road somewhere in the States or abroad. We also know that Darla was searching for answers regarding her mystical pregnancy. What if she came across Giles, kidnapped him, and demanded answers? Her feelings of loss of control, and Giles grief could make for an interesting dynamic. A run-in with Darla regarding Angel's spawn also seems like just the thing he would keep from telling Buffy, as well. Porniness, clearly, would have to ensue

[hello_spikey]

oh guh. Those are both EXCELLENT ideas.

*saves this*

[clawofcat]

Yay! I can't write Giles for shit, and I totally love Darla, so if you write either of those, I'm so there. Rare het pairings are my ultimate bag.

*happy sigh* I love brainstorming.

Heeeeeeeee interestin! One pairing ive been mulling over for a while now is Spike/Oz. Hee! Ive never really seen it written, seen only the odd manip, and oz, bless him, is so cheek pinchin, arse-squeezin adorable, it might be an interesting pairing. Hee! Spike's amazing ability to never shut up could compliment oz's quietness, or something. :P

Buuuut me being me, it'd have to be hurtin spike. As in either sub spike [though im not sure about oz as a top...], or not-immediately-dom spike who needs a wee bit of healing to get there. lol. Sooooooo that leads me to think of the initiative, cause they could both be captive there, and it could lead to some interesting ship development i think.

But yeah, im so totally not confident enough to write such a possible bunny, so here it sits in my noggin lol, until i find someone to adopt :P

[clawofcat]

Interesting! Oz is such a great character. It is a shame there isn't more fic with him in it. Though, I'm pretty sure they do give Oz some love over at nekid_spike. If you search their memories for the pairing, I know there are at least a few entries beyond manips.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but ash_carpenter wrote some Spoz awhile ago set during the initiative. I really enjoyed the one-shot. It's not a sub Spike, but you will get a talky Spike vs. quiet Oz and it's hot an in-character. You can read The Experiment at her journal.

*put away her pimp fairy wand and flutters off merrily*

[tamakin_arts]

OMG!!! Reccage!! You doll you! *hugs* I had no idea ash wrote a spike/oz, so whoooooot!! And the initiative to boot! *dances*

Thanks pooks! :D

I have tons of ideas I'm never going to write. They vary from porny (AU Human Spike/Xander's first time) to Gen (Post-Comics Canon Buffy is damaged by her trip into the weird reality/mental freak-out thing and tries to kill Dawn because she's convinced that Dawn is the missing piece that will make her whole).

Also I'd love to see a whole fic written from Drusilla's POV. I am so not confident enough to do that.

[clawofcat]

You and Buffy trying to reabsorb Dawn. What's the deal with that particular fascination? The fic you wrote (can't remember the name) that's all apocolyptic where they're writhing on the bed together fucking was just excellent. I don't read the comics, so I'm not familiar with the mental freak-out reference.

And Drusilla POV? Oy... When I did her POV in "Working Parts" I just made it sort of dreamy and poetic, but I can't imagine trying to draw out an entire narrative in a scattered disjointed mess.

BTW, is there anyway you'd extend the Random Masturbation Challenge? I've got thesis and finals to work on for the next week a half, but I have a Spike/Dawn story that I'd like to submit. There is no way I'll finish by May 1st :(

The fic you wrote (can't remember the name) that's all apocolyptic where they're writhing on the bed together fucking was just excellent.

Spike and Faith? Is that one? Because I'm not so much the Buffy/Dawn type...As for my fascination, I think it's just odd that they have Dawn as literally made from Buffy. I think it was meant to be parenthood metaphor, but I keep feeling like it's cloning gone horribly wrong.

And the challenge ends May 1st but post it up anyways...in lieu of a banner for your winning of the Rimming Challenge, you can have open posting rights for, oh, 90 days. Because:

1.) I love your work.

2.) I'm too lazy to make banners right now.

So for 90 days starting roughly now, you can post any of your (kinky) work to Fmk, regardless of challenges and deadlines. Fair exchange for a banner? :)

[clawofcat]

Erm... okay, maybe that wasn't your story. *scratches head* Huh. It had a similar sort of set up. I feel like I have "By the Numbers," your Spike/Faith, and whatever fic I'm thinking off sort of mixed together in my head. Woopsie! My bad.

So for 90 days starting roughly now, you can post any of your (kinky) work to Fmk, regardless of challenges and deadlines.
Wow! Sweet deal. Now I feel super motivated to write porn during May! I should have a Spike/Gwen electricity kink one done, too.

So, which fic won? Spawn or Faith/Xander?
