Write or die

[rivkat]

Yuletide draft achieved! It still needs a ton of work, but that’s doable. Among the best writing advice I ever received was that a bad first draft is your best friend. A bad first draft means there can be a final draft. And 20 pages of livelongnmarry! Bad first draft on that possibly tomorrow! And my Eight Crazy Nights prompts are moving, though some more slowly than others. This is all storing up writing fat for the spring semester, because I'm not going to be able to write much fiction until, say, May or possibly June after this.

In other news: I was reading Livia’s latest DCU fic, and it clarified for me the existence of yet another bulletproof kink of mine: nobody’s wrong, or “the opposite of a profound truth is often another profound truth.” That’s why I like enemies, and Mulder/Scully.

Things I would love you forever for providing:
1. astolat’s prison story. Sigh.
2. A story in which Dean Winchester builds a car parts incubator. He doesn’t even have to hold the baby after. Just build it an incubator. But, uh, not out of the Impala, okay?
3. Firefly: Jayne/River in which the rest of the crew all cringe away in horror while Jayne seems vaguely to appreciate what he’s got. Also River beats up the bad guys who choose to run towards her instead of towards Jayne.
4. Sam/Castiel conduitfic.
5. Sarah/Chuck/Casey, fuck or die.
6. Chuck/SPN crossover, with one or more of the following: Sarah puts Dean on his ass; Chuck/Dean (Dean now having replaced Lex as the guy I give you if I like you, cf. my Lex/Willow UST and Dean/Willow); Chuck performs a ritual and it works; Sam and Dean join C/S/C in a spy caper.
7. Multifandom vid to Peaches' Two Guys. Alternatively, an Alias vid to Code Monkey, Weiss POV; having the girl be Sydney would go a long way to redeem the bad gender politics of this song, which I love despite its bad gender politics.
8. The extended remix of the already fantastic, stuck-with-me-all-month Sea Lion with the extra verse that's about, inter alia, John and the YED and even more angst for Dean.

You like Chuck too! :) I really loved your wish list.

I love Chuck! Chuck is all that is right with the world. Why isn't there more OT3 Chuck fic? Or a vid of Sarah to "Short Skirt, Long Jacket"?

[amalthia]

You know, I have no idea! I thought there would be a lot more fannish interest in Chuck because it's surprisingly funny and at the same time angsty. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite shows. Actually, at this point it's can't miss tv for me.

I'm awfully tempted to write Jayne/River as that's kind of my firefly OTP...

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Jayne/River forever! They're not exactly made for each other, but honestly, who else could deal?

[flourish.livejournal.com]

That's what I said. Jayne knows enough to shut up and let River do her thing, and River seriously needs someone who will let the crazy lady be in charge about 60% of the time and will take care of her like Vera about 40% of the time.

(Ohhhhh Jayne, how I love you, you big gruff creature you.)

I just realized: this is the first time I've ever had serious favorite characters played by the same actor. It's weird! But Jayne and Casey are very different people, though they'd probably both kill you.

5. Sarah/Chuck/Casey, fuck or die.

Oh, yes. Please. I think my brain has broken while trying to consider even vaguely plausible scenarios. Oh, what the heck! In media res! Story can just start with them arguing over it with no explanation ever of why or where or who or how they got into the situation. Casey and Sarah are all business as usual, what? again? ok. and getting their gear off and Chuck is, you've done this before!!?? Of course they have to woo Chuck and they play good cop, bad cop with him because, fuck or die!, and they have to protect the intersect. Also, at some point, Casey asks if they have to crack out the pentathol and Chuck is why? what? and Casey is all, "Chiseled by Michaelangelo? Remember? Of course you don't."

Yes, that's definitely what should be at the top of your wishlist.

So are you going to get right on that, or what? We know that Chuck, fanboy that he is, has canonically performed the PG version, kiss or die. And they have to have a fight about who's the filling in the sandwich! Which involves Chuck asking Casey "Just exactly how much gay sex have you had?"

So are you going to get right on that, or what?

Or what! I haven't written anything since 2005. Which, wow, is a long time.

We know that Chuck, fanboy that he is, has canonically performed the PG version, kiss or die.

Takes a moment to swoon.

And they have to have a fight about who's the filling in the sandwich!

Chuck and Casey yelp, "Sarah!" and "Walker!" at the same time and Sarah gives them the look of not impressed.

Which involves Chuck asking Casey "Just exactly how much gay sex have you had?"

I cannot choose between Casey's possible replies: "Just shut up and get your pants off, Bartowski" or a low, growled, "Need to know."

And at some point Chuck says, or gasps, "Do they teach you that in spy school?"

I think the dialogue might be more fun than the sex.

Say more about what you might be looking for in a Sam/Castiel conduit fic...

[rivkat.livejournal.com]

Oooh, pretty much anything as long as it's clear that Dean is the pivot around which they turn. Need not be Wincesty, just dysfunctionally-attached-to-Dean Sam. I will fangirl you forever if you write this!
