Cliches are my Kryptonite

[rivkat]

I was looking at morgandawn’s fan fiction tropes and my first thought was, well, I haven’t done all of them. Like, I haven’t done amnesia. And then I thought: no, actually. Twice is almost exactly like never, right? I’m pretty sure I never had Mulder & Scully bake cookies, though they did do home maintenance (gotta patch those bullet holes somehow). And now that I think about it, I did have Clark bake cookies for Lex. He was bodyswapped with Lex at the time. Is that a Double Fandom Word Score?

Anyway, I could still use some prompts for Eight Crazy Nights, getting closer than ever. If you want to suggest cliches, I’m obviously game. And, um, if someone wanted to beta an XF story, I wouldn’t say no. Fair warning: this story is mostly so old that the filename is in all caps, because I apparently began it on a computer that didn’t even use Windows. But by God I was asked for a sequel to Deny Nothing and there it was on my computer, so I’m going to give it the college (or, more accurately, law school) try.

sweet lord, help me, but angsty season 8 fanfic is my lifeblood, and I'd kill to see your stab at Doggett. I did like your Reyes, as well. And of course, I always love more "down the road" Iolokus...

(oh, FYI, I still rec people to the amazing fic you wrote me last year for Hanukkah, because it was amazing.)

(a sequel to Deny Nothing? I won't deny - oops, sorry, bad pun - I wonder why. The ending was short and frustrating but I liked it for that reason.)

My new fandom is the BBC's Robin Hood, and I think you'd be brilliant at writing Guy/Marian, but I don't know if you know it.

Hope your holidays (and exam gradings) are going well!

Oh, dear--I am not sure I can find my inner Doggett. I will think about it!

I think the point of the sequel is to get to the badwrong M/S/K interactions.

I haven't seen Robin Hood, though I will admit that the Kevin Costner version is a guilty pleasure.

hahaha, fair enough. Only write what you're comfortable with!


Well, yes. The M/S/K interactions were pretty cool - I loved cold-hearted Mulder, above all, for some reason. I must be deranged.


I LOVE THE KEVIN COSTNER VERSION. Sorry. That was the first feature-length movie I saw as a child! It's terrible and unwatchable but I have it memorized.

re: Robin Hood, BBC
It's not a good show, by any means, it's actually a little painful to watch, but somehow the writers scrounged up some really interesting characters, and the actors were talented enough to make it work.

second thought, if you really don't like Doggett, what about Mulder going undercover as a male escort?
(complete wish fulfillment)

Oh, it's not that I don't like Doggett, I'm just not sure I get him well enough. Mulder undercover as a male escort, however, strikes me as hilarious.
