A fannish meme from astrogirl2:

Feb 21, 2006 21:55

In the past, memes like this have always resulted in wicked plot bunnies, so:

If you give me one or more titles of stories I didn't write (optional: pairings or other details), I'll give you a summary of the nonexistent story.

m*a*s*h, meme, babylon 5, farscape, general fandom

"According to the Imperial Spoo Chef"

Upstairs, the Prime Minister has arrived with a new bodyguard by his side. Downstairs, the servants talk - and no one is considered more of an authority on the scandal than the spoo chef, who has to cook for them both. Londo/G'Kar.

"Londo Mollari and the Death of Civility"

Centuries after Londo Mollari's disasterous reign, academics convene on what becomes ISN's most downloaded program in history to debate the man and his legacy. Fireworks erupt when one historian makes a controversial claim. Londo/G'Kar.

"Technomages - Too Emo for Me"

Vir Cotto was pretty sure he'd never see a technomage again - they did make themselves quite clear when they said they would not return. But when one of his children expresses a serious interest in joining their number, the aging emperor is thrust into the world of magic and illusion once again - and it is not an altogether pleasant affair.

Now that I've written that summary, I'm not sure I would use your title, because that's actually a serious idea. But ( ... )

I love it. The third one is especially brilliant! Can I take your comment in tiny text to mean you would consider writing it?

"Vir and Loathing in Las Vegas"

The ostensibly neutral pleasure colony of New Las Vegas is reluctant to allow a group of Centauri businessmen to start their own casino. Emperor Cotto tries to intercede on the group's behalf.

Mmmmm... Can you possibly be persuaded to write any of these?

Hair!

Hm.

"Hair"

A shampoo shortage at the 4077th nearly leads to a mutiny. Can Hawkeye, Trapper, and Radar save the day?

Ha! You thought I'd go for the obvious, didn't you? Though hell, for all I know at this point, this was actually an episode one year. *g*

"Londo Calling"

Vir wants to serve his ambassador well - even if some of his requests are out of the ordinary. A series of vignettes set in the first season.

And this is being filed in my fanfic100 folder under "Work". *g*

"Tighs That Bind Us"

Pre-apocalypse. Ellen Tigh wants to fly - but she's always pulled back to the swamp. A portrait of a marriage.

And that will be the first Tigh fic I write. *g*

Okay. I'm still thinking on these, but here are the first few:

"In The Market"

The Nightwatch comes to the Zocalo - and Zack Allen begins to wonder just what he's gotten into.

"The Embodiment of Hope"

Emperor Cotto travels to Narn to finish what Emperor Turhan started.

"The Last Place"

A Narn refugee describes his escape from the Narn homeworld during the second Centauri occupation - and the young Centauri official who made it possible.

...MAN, that sounds cool.

*COOL*

*whimpers* Oh man, such a good idea - and you'd do it so WELL.

Thank you! If I were to write a Zack story at some point, this is very close to what I would probably do. If I were to write a Zack story, that is. Granted, I did roleplay him out of necessity during one of our crazy theatrical_muse-related plots - but while people did say I wrote him well, I'm still skeered to attempt that in fic form, as the character has always struck me as rather shapeless.

*COOL*

On the other hand, this bunny is actually one I've had for years, and the chances that it will be written are considerably higher than those of the previous. However, like the Stark bunny below, this will be a 10K at the very least. So, yeah - patience is a virtue. *g*
