So I was talking to my_daroga the other day and we each thought of something there needs to be fic for. Mine was silly but when I couldn't get to sleep last night in PMS-induced insomnia, I decided there were all sorts of things that should have fic, and don't, and if there is you need to point me to it, and then I need to whine about how there's not enough

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want you to write EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE.

No pressure.

[lettered]

I want someone else to have written them all so I can just read them.

Get to work!

What a wonderful idea.

-Mrs. Frisby And The Rats Of NIMH. This was my_daroga's idea and I agree whole-heartedly. Actually, I'm a little wary of rat!sex fic, but there should be gen.

I actually tried to write NIMH fanfic once upon a time (it was perhaps my first fanfic attempt?), but I don't remember any of it, and I have no idea where it went, and I wouldn't foist it on anyone in any case. But other than that, yes, please. I would love to see some NIMH fic.

-Thoreau/Emerson, which is really my first slash pairing ever, only I didn't slash them.

I slashed them before I knew what slash was. They were clearly a True Pair, though. I think a lot of academics slash them without knowing what slash is, too.

-Jane Austen/Charlotte Bronte time-travel.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

-Arthur/Lancelot, Arthur/Guinevere, Guinevere/Lancelot, G/A/L.In my head, Aurthur/Guinevere/Lancelot is canon already, and all the stories are really about Guinevere, Lancelot, and Arthur's totally unacceptable threesome love. That's why things went wrong: because the world wasn't

You should try again!

my_daroga said she'd think about it. *crosses fingers*

Really? Because yeah, I was into them so hard, except for the whole sex thing. But I seriously thought for long long periods of time about how much I loved their friendship, and ways I wanted to see them interact, and they made me ache long before I ever thought they should have lots of sex.

all the stories are really about Guinevere, Lancelot, and Arthur's totally unacceptable threesome love.

Mists of Avalon put it in its canon. Yeah, I much prefer to think of them all loving each other and it being impossible than, say, Excalibur's version of events.

Really? Perhaps I should read it.

Like I said, I read it when I was in seventh grade, so what I once thought was so awesome may turn out to suck, but yes, there was threesome sex had by those three. And nicely treated lesbian relationships/sex scenes (again, from what I judged at the time) too with some other characters. It's also fascinating, the way Marion Zimmer Bradley takes the legend and reforms it into a story about the disappearing culture of the Celts, their pagan religion, and the power and mysticism of women in their society (not historically accurate, but thematically matches some of the sense of the time, as much as we can know what that might've been). I think I might be highly recommending it here. But again -- seventh grade!

[violaclaire]

YES. All of these. And also, Dickens RPF. Because Dickens was in love with his wife's sister, and it was all very very screwed up and wonderful.

Oscar Wilde crack RPS

That pretty much already exists in a play called Naked WIll, which is also Shakespeare/Fair Youth RPS--it's reallyreally roughly based on "Portrait of Mr. W.H."--and is amazingly bizarre. But there should be more.

Now that you mention it I seem to recall knowing that at one time, but I'd forgotten. Tragic! Very.

Naked WIll,

That sounds awesome! I'll have to check it out sometime.

[stultiloquentia]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

You're aware of Yuletide, right? I know there's Beauty and the Beast fic from 2006 that kind of fits your criteria. There's probably some Greek myth stuff in there, too. And Arthur.

I am in love with your Hades+Persephone Python spoof idea. And most of the others, but especially that.

I think I must go away and write my own "Fics I Want" list. Cool beans.

[lettered]

Really! I never really looked at any Yuletide fics. I shall have to go a-searching.

Hades+Persephone Python spoof

ha, I know. The thought of Persephone trying to hop around convincing Hades she's not actually dead is extremely amusing to me.

I think I must go away and write my own "Fics I Want" list

Awesome! I bet you would have some cool ones.

[stultiloquentia]

Here's the best Yuletide link. Scroll.

And here are my favourite BatB stories:
In a Dark Wood
Rough Diamond

[lettered]

Wow. I really loved both of those. A whole whole lot. I feel like they both could've been publsihed.

Now I really really want to write my short stories!

[a2zmom]

Someone already wrote Angel/Baudelaire.

But since I no longer remember who or where or why, it's fairly useless.

[lettered]

Really! Gee, some help you are! No, really, I was actually surprised that I'd never seen it or heard anyone say "that should be written" before, because it's one of the only historical figures that anyone explicitly says they met.

*waits for Spike/Billy Idol slash*

[lynnenne]

There is Spike/Billy Idol slash. I'm on the hunt for it right now.
