I was doing this with
iphignia939 last night and it was fun and I'm already climbing the walls so why not?
Give me the names of two characters I might know, and I'll make up a summary or outline for a fic that pairs them. Male, female, RPS, FPS, whatever fandom, however weird. (Because I'm xoverAU, I reserve the right to make some of them AUs.) Go!

I have to ask, though -- why did he choose Brian's heart foundation to give the proceeds from the painting to in the first place?

Thank you so, so much for letting me know you liked it. Often summaries are my favorite things to read, like movie previews that trump the films themselves. Your brain fills things in better than the author can write them.

And this one has so much going on in it, and so much in the world around the main protagonists too. They're both surrounded and supported by people who'd be horrified by the whole thing.

About things not being what they seem, or being exactly what they seem but what no one expects or understands. Maybe he wants to show Brian up as a hypocrite, in ( ... )

Oh! That's what I liked about writing Eminem back in the day. Saying, "here's the setup, now let's milk the bizarrity for all it's worth." Why plane off what makes the characters different to fit them together? I'd rather have fun with the contrast.
I disagree that your brain couldn't fill it in as well as mine, since a lot of your thinking up there gave me ideas. As often as I'm amazed to read a story that resembles something I've written or read elsewhere, I'm amazed at the totally new direction other writers and readers take from a central root ( ... )
