Help Me Decide What To Write

[nos4a2no9]

I've signed up for ds_c6d_bigbang (pretend to be shocked, okay?) and I'm trying to decide what story I should write. So, um, a little help?

I'm begging everyone who will listen for Gus Knickel backstory. Or any story at all, as long as it's Gus. I'm dyin', here. *wants omg*

I figure if I pester enough people about it for long enough, someone will write it just to shut me the hell up. *g* (A girl can dream.)

[nos4a2no9]

Heee! I'd consider it, definitely, but maybe not for Big Bang. Unless Gus is REALLY inspiring. (Mal, I still haven't watched Buried on Sunday. I am sad, sad panda!)

[malnpudl]

I still haven't watched Buried on Sunday.

*gapes*

But... but... but... dude! That's wronger than a wrong thing that's very, very wrong! *flail*

Yes, it's a rather silly little movie in lots of ways (with an extraordinarily annoying lead actress/love interest), but Gus rivals Fraser and Geoffrey for the most complex and intriguing role that Paul has ever played. Not to mention the hottest. And there's almost no backstory for him at all. It drives me CRAZY. If I ever had a chance to speak with Paul, the first question I'd want to ask was about Gus and his backstory. I'm that invested. *flail redux*

AuK already wrote lots of Gus, didn't she?

The cancer one has GREAT potential for romcom shenanigans except for the uh, cancer part. And ♥Rent Boys♥

And I had to vote for the DJ one because it is a very fun fic to write in bandom, and including mounties can only make it more awesome :DDDDD

Ha! Yes, see, this is the central problem! I'm not sure how to continue with the romance when Ray is vomiting and losing his hair. But it's romance of a kind? I guess?

I think you were actually the genesis of the rentboy AU. YEARS ago, A! *sniffs nostalgically*

Benton Fraser: Teenage Sex Rebel! *siiiiigh*

Man, I wish I could magic wand the Knock Three Times AU into being done. And the one where RayK maybe died for a minute there during MOTB and Fraser was so guilt ridden that he started being super paranoid about Ray's safety until suddenly Ray is the one saying "no really, it'll be faster if we jump out the window!" and then there is lots life affirming sex. My poor, poor, abandoned WIPs, you are many.

[meresy]

Do what you feel, crazycakes. *g*

[nos4a2no9]

Meres, did you vote for EVERYTHING? You're throwing off my data!

As a scientist I expected better from you :-)

[meresy]

I did not! I completely avoided the AUs!

:P

[nos4a2no9]

Okay, I suppose that's acceptable. And seriously? No AUs? But...radio DJ! Wherein I shall pretend I know something about music! Are you seriously telling me that doesn't butter your muffin?

And dude! I just added 2,000 words to your birthday fic today! You may indeed see it before next summer! \m/

A Fraser/Kowalski AU!

...where they're criminals! Ray's the nasty, clever front man and Fraser's the muscle. Or it could be undercover!fic. I just want to see Fraser menacingly cleaning guns while Ray shakes someone down. That's all. Really.

[nos4a2no9]

Ooooh. Well, that would be a GOOD scene. Guh. keerawa would probably write it. Actually, I think she may have written it already! But you can't have too many gun-kink stories, T.

[teaphile]

I was halfway to writing that for DS Match, but didn't think I could do it justice. Oh, the perils of being a humour writer.

[nos4a2no9]

Hey, don't knock being a humour writer! I am so very, very jealous of that particular skill. And I loved your story muchly, so it all worked out for the best. *nods*

[qe2]

Dude, I cannot possibly vote in this poll. I just want more YOUfic. (Happy-ending, if possible. And with much sex, because you do that very well, as you do a number of other things. But those are not poll choices, because you know me too well.)

Also: post-leg-loss-fic FTW.

(I'm trying to figure out whether to sign up for this thing myself. TERRIFIED, Nos, I'm telling you.)

[nos4a2no9]

Awww, the post-leg-loss one is at the top of the "What I'll write instead of my Big Bang story" fic-list.

I...have many lists :-)

I'm trying to figure out whether to sign up for this thing myself. TERRIFIED, Nos, I'm telling you.

Dude. You must. Because a 20,000 word Q-fic is the stuff dreams are made of! (Well, my dreams anyway). I know it'd be scary, but it's also a really good incentive to write a long story!

Also, I'm the wrong person to ask about this. My bias is profound - I also just want more YOU!fic. *smishes*

[simplystars]

But, see! You could write post-leg-loss FRASER BECOMES A MALE MODEL AND RAYK IS THE PHOTOGRAPHER!

Or, umm. Just that, as an AU. *begs*
