Plagiarism party!
Seeing SGA stories transformed into Gilmore Girls and Black Books/Torchwood turned into One Tree Hill has made me realize something:
Cross-fandom plagiarism = fan fiction madlibs.
So, in honor of the fact that right now, all I can do is laugh, I'm holding a plagiarism party!
How to play, in three easy steps:
1. Pick a favorite scene from one of your own stories. (Please, please, your own stories. I'm not encouraging actual plagiarism here.)
2. Pick a fandom (the more it makes you want to spork your eyeballs out, the better), "recast" your story for that fandom, and use find/replace to change the character names in the story. (Not up for the effort of fixing pronouns and physical descriptions? Why bother?)
3. Post your retrofitted story snippet, or a link to it, in the comments here.
Invite all your friends to come play too -- everyone is welcome!
This whole ridiculous thing has already eaten up way more time than I can afford to lose, but if enough people participate, I promise a "revised" scene from one of my stories. (And the mere idea of what I'd do is already making me want to send my brain through a carwash.)
ETA: The comments contain explicit sexual material. Also, do not eat anything while reading them if you don't want to choke laughing. Consider yourselves warned.
ETA 2: My contribution can be found here: Tab A Slot B, Executive Branch Style! I revamped SGA crack as even worse West Wing crack. This is such a bad idea. *g* ETA to ETA 2: Link now actually goes to the West Wing version, instead of the original. Uh, oops.
