I was looking at [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Cliches, oh boy!


Woke Up Gay (or, in some cases, Woke Up Straight)
Planet Of The Leather Collars Are Perfectly Normal
Sekrit Vampires & Werewolves & Fairies, Oh My
Separated At Birth
Hello There, New Colleague- ...Last Night's Pick-Up, Fuck.
Pretending To Date For Totally Valid Plot Reasons
Makeover Shenanigans
Time Travelling Test Tube Baby Love Child

...so I got most of those from SGA, but they would all be hilarious in Smallville, or any of your fandoms.

I personally am a big fan of Bondage Planet and Hello There, New Colleague- ...Last Night's Pick-Up, Fuck. ^.^ Pretending To Date For Totally Valid Plot Reasons is usually pretty hilarious too.

Now that I think about it, I have written "Hello There, New Colleague" in SV. I can't help myself! I don't think I've written Pretending to Date just yet, but I have done Forced to Marry (and indeed that's my current bigger SV project).

Have you really? Which one was that, I don't recall. (Ha, looking forward to the big one!)

Which leaves The Thing With The Collar And The Scented Oil Is A Native Custom, Really. That one's always fun!

No Darker Than Yours (http://www.rivkat.com/cms/index.php?set=fiction&story=48), in its way.

I'll give Bondage Planet a thought. My standard move is to go for the melodrama inherent in the cliches, but I'm not sure how that would work with this one!

Hmm, genderswap is good for melodrama. With Planet Bdsm I guess you could go for If You Don't Collar Him One Of Us Will, or play off Lex's need to be in control all the time... which could be equally interesting whether it's him in the collar or not.

Clark and Lex being forced to marry? *squees wildly* Ah...that is, I very much look forward to reading this. *g*
