You want to tempt the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing? (SPN-West Wing Challenge)
Supernatural-West Wing Title Challenge
I know it's strange, sir, but I'm feeling a certain big brotherly connection right now. You know, obviously I'd like that feeling to go away as soon as possible.

So last year, musesfool ran the Firefly-West Wing Title Challenge, in which people wrote awesome Firefly stories based on West Wing titles, and lo, it was awesome. And I said, very reasonably, "Vic, you should do that again for SPN, because I love both my shows so much."
And now...here I am, running the Supernatural-West Wing Title Challenge.
Same rules apply--SPN stories with West Wing titles. Some titles will be more obviously fitting than others ("Somebody's Going to Emergency, Somebody's Going to Jail." It's like they Knew.), but the stories don't have to be related to the plot of the episodes in any way, so anything you want goes.
Guidelines:
* Gen, het, slash (obviously including wincest), whatever floats your boat.
* Supernatural fandom only, please, as that's kind of the whole point.
* Title must be the title of a West Wing episode. Again, that's kind of the whole point.
* Length: at least 500 words, but you know, be ambitious, go crazy, don't be limited by word count.
* Two part episodes with the same title count as one title, except for "Inauguration Part II," which is subtitled "Over There" - you can use "Over There" as a separate title, if you like. There are 151 titles to choose from, and it'd be awesome to see some variety, don't you think?
* Please comment to this post with your chosen title. More than one person can choose the same episode title, since you won't be duplicating plots, just titles, and I imagine people will be inspired in different directions, so even if two or three stories have the same title, they won't be identical. I'll strike through the titles already chosen, so it's easy to tell at a glance, for those of you who don't want to duplicate, though.
* Deadline... Well, there will be no shunning or calling out if you don't make it, but let's say October 9-16. That's when I'll put up a master list post and you can all link to your stories in the comments.
* Join in. You know you want to! Feel free to pimp, as well.
* And finally, the list of titles
