Something I'd like to read is an outsider!POV fic wherein the OC/main character sees Sam and perceives him as a big dumb bruiser type--maybe gentle and quiet, but not too bright and mostly inclined to think with his fists. And then this misapprehension would persist throughout the bulk of the fic. Maybe Sam's been cursed into not talking much, so

I will! Or someplace where something like that is appropriate.

Man, I'm tired of having all these neat fic ideas and no ability to do anything with them. Boo.

That's an awesome idea--I hope somebody writes it!

Excuse me for butting in, but O_o your icon is fantastic. (I miss Andy...)

[honeylocusttree]

Yeeaaahhh...*somebody* should totally get on that.... *shifty eyes*

Also icon BWAH! I know I've seen it before, but jebus.

I'd read that. Then again, I'll read anything that's outsiderPOV. Especially when that outsider is under horrible misapprehensions about the boys.

It'd be extra neat if like the Sam situation wasn't even the main plot (or wasn't from the character's POV) and there was something else going on, and maybe the focus was on that other plot device/macguffin, but then it turned out later that the Sam situation was a pretty big clue or whatever.

Oo, I'd love that--nobody's really concerned over Sam suddenly seeming really taciturn, or whatever, and it's just in the back of the outsider's mind. Subtly disregarding Sam, discounting him, not respecting whatever he does say. And then this leads into the possibility of unexpectedly BAMF!Sam.

Someone write this.

As long as none of the characters were needlessly cruel. A lot of ficwriters like to include one-dimensional characterizations where people are jerks for no reason, or whatever, and that sort of thing drives me *bonkers*. I'd definitely want all the characters to be doing the best they could, even if it wasn't very nice. Y'know, having depth and *reasons* and stuff.

oooh. I love this. <3

Can't believe I haven't heard anything about it before. :c It must exist!
