Update on the Title Game: Stories I Never Wrote You

[halfshellvenus]

clex_monkie89 totally encouraged this. *Points fingers*.

My f-list really came through for me on providing titles for “Stories I Never Wrote You.” I got 26 37 titles, which produced everything from poetic lyricism to angst to crackFic! This also resulted in a poll of which of these to expand into longer stories. Three from the PB list and three from the SN

Oh wow...you have so many idea here.

I really really want to see Someone Else's...I'm not a huge fan of slash, and I don't particularly like the idea of Michael/Lincoln, but I understand it and can appreciate the possibility of it. And the first couple of sentences you have there are great and I think would make a very interesting story.

I also want to see you write No Flag, No Country because I find that, lately, I have developed an LJ fascination.

This was such a GREAT idea-- it's kind of like the 1sentence or 1character thing, except a little more liberating-- because it's easier when you're not tied to just one sentence (creative punctuation aside). Sadly, no challenge for this kind of thing except to one's self. :D

*Rises from the floor after falling over backward ded* But on a serious note, that makes yours the fourth vote for this one (I had a poll), and I expect I'm going to write it. It'll come faster if I marry it to a fanfic100prompt. The opening sentences show this as clearly an unrequited longing, which fits with the title. Could be nicely emotional.

The premise for that one sounds good (I don't think lissa_bear even noticed that I wrote that one up)--

Never fondle the baby brother in front of the angry Convicted Murderer. snerk. Very wise advice.

Behind the hotel, Sam finds his brother. He has an assembly of little snowmen poised on the rail of a fence. “Those are cute,” Sam says, but then Dean pulls out a makeshift slingshot. One after another the tiny, frozen soldiers explode. “Duuude,” Sam says mournfully, but Dean just laughs. Hee.

Omigosh! Dean is Calvin!

Hard Time (PB/SN Crossover)
PrisonBreak/Supernatural Crossover, Slash: In a bar near the Texas border, two sets of brothers meet. "You two seem to be running," Dean says, and sees the exchange of uneasy glances. "We were in way over our heads," the slender one replies, as his brother squeezes his shoulders. "Demons?" Dean asks-- just as Sam elbows him and gives him a Look. "No-- government conspiracy," says the one named Lincoln in a slighly bewildered tone. Dean shrugs. "Not our thing," and he buys them a drink out of sympathy. Oh, I have been longing for PB/SN Crossovers for forEVER

Omigosh! Dean is Calvin!
Ah, I see you're familiar with the classics. :) Yes, he certainly is. Except possibly MORE destructive than Calvin.

Oh, I have been longing for PB/SN Crossovers for forEVER.
I can see them post-escape and Dean all freaked out by Michael's scary smarts and the gothic themes to his tattoos ("I'm telling you, man, that dude is not human!")
So many PB fans are also SN fans (only a few are coming the other way), so among the PB folks this longing is definitely growing... And totally with you on Dean misinterpretting Michael based on his tattoos and getting the wrong idea about him.

If you check here, you'll find a couple of other crossovers I pointed to for dawnstarrising (unless you came from there). This ficlet you noticed is one of them. But there are a couple of others, too.

I tell you, Dean in prison? Would not last an hour. He'd be more of a shag-magnet than Michael (although better equipped to take care of himself, with that martial arts training). ;)

Ah, I see you're familiar with the classics. :) But of course!

Yes, he certainly is. Except possibly MORE destructive than Calvin. Heeheehee. Now I have this strange craving for shorty Calvin and fuzzy Hobbes to go demon hunting. Maybe pick up some shotguns and a flamethrower and go after the monsters under the bed?

So many PB fans are also SN fans (only a few are coming the other way), so among the PB folks this longing is definitely growing... Thanks for the links. I am totally on a crossover kick right now. The more the better. A few weeks ago I was conspiring with a friend over how to create a PB/SN/Numbers crossover. (we were on a "cute brothers" theme) And then I think we through in a /John Doe/Pretenders crossover as well, because we're also fans of those and for the scary smart/on the run/Dominic themes.

It's times like that when it's most easy to remember that "fan" is rooted in "fanatic"

Guh. The notion of John Doe/Pretender-Jared sex just overtook my brain. W00t! Actually, Dominic/Anybody is pretty much sexy to me.

clex_monkie89 has a short John Doe/PB crossover, but nothing so far that reaches the level of... John Doe and Michael having hot, superSmart sex together. They could shack up and devote the entire living room to architectural models and sudoku puzzles ;)

And orgl... I think I just proved your point! Heh.

I absolutely <3333333 "no flag, no country." not just because of what it's about, but because the title is Eddie Izzard!!!!!! I absolutely adore izzard-ness!! and then I also love the "angry killer cats" in fact, my brain is in high gear about that one, may even take a stab at it m'self.

[halfshellvenus]

but because the title is Eddie Izzard!!!!!!
Oooh! I didn't realize there were roots to that phrase. Well. Context!

and then I also love the "angry killer cats"
That one was such fun, and kind of bizarre really. But all boils down to the same thing: Nobody likes Bellick! :D

You should give this a try-- it was lots of fun. A great challenge overall, and I got some decent longer stories out of it too. :)

yeah, go here:
Eddie Quotes

you can read the whole thing, but that link is to the part i'm talking about. here it is, quoted from above link, particular quote bolded:

So, yeah. There was a lot of that, and we built up empires - we stole countries! That's what you do, that's how you build an empire. We stole countries with the cunning use of flags! Yeah, just sail around the world and stick a flag in.

"I claim India for Britain!"

They go, "You can't claim us, we live here! 500 million of us!"

"Do you have a flag?"

"We don't need a bloody flag! It's our country, you bastards!"

"No flag, no country, you can't have one! That's the rules that I've just made up, and I'm backing it up with this gun that was lent from the National Rifle Association."

That was it, you know?

^_^ Eddie Izzard is SOOOO funny!!!!

[halfshellvenus]

I like the context of that quote very much, actually.

I claim India for Britain!"
They go, "You can't claim us, we live here! 500 million of us!"

And you'd think that would be enough, too. :(

Hope you enjoy trying out the title game. Definitely will get your creativity flowing... :)
