December Daily: picking a fandom

[resonant]

hypertwink - "Now that you've come back, is there a fandom that you want to dip your toe into? (Follow up: Are you apprehensive/excited about it?)"

Alas, no. I have ideas -- boy, do I have ideas -- but they're not attached to any particular character or fandom.

My Stray Writing list has things like (if anybody wants to steal one of these, be my guest)

"A is normally noisy, but in a friends with benefits situation that seems weird. But not being vocal in bed requires a lot of effort. So he's risking the friendship/partnership with B for sex that's an unnecessary amount of effort or that leaves him feeling drained and emotionally unsettled. Wasn't this supposed to be FUN?" and

"So C reads this article that says that coping with rejection takes practice, so he asks his friend D to say no to him so he can practice -- title it 5 Noes and a Yes" and

"Stripper AU: E's a dancer, F looks like a customer but is actually an OSHA inspector or a union organizer, whichever's funnier."

And they just sit there like empty jackets on hangers, waiting for someone to put them on.








Specify a date if you want; otherwise I'll just answer them whenever.

This year, in addition to the usual kinds of questions, I'd also love to get storyish prompts. Storyish meaning you never know what you might get: two sentences of a story, or a description of a story that will never exist, or a love song about how much I like that trope, or a rant about my pet peeve about that trope, or I know nothing about that canon except what I see on social media and here's what I think it might be about, or Ten Reasons Why I Love/Hate/Am Indifferent To that character, canon, or trope, or ...

As always, I'd love to hear about it if you're doing the meme too.


23. slvrbld47 -- "MCU, Tony lives through Endgame: Miraculously. As a Consequence, versions of Tony Stark are flung through the Multiverse, ending up in every Fandom. Including Your Favorites. Tony Stark is the new little black dress. I would love to see Tony Stark a werewolf in TeenWolf..."
24. runpunkrun - "John and Rodney in 2020"
25. wychwood -- Favourite Due South secondary character?
26. ride4ever - "for any dS or C6D pairing that you ship, how that ship is doing in 2020."
27. reginagiraffe - "Hermione/Harry/Ron from Bed and Board in 2020"
28. laurenthemself -- "What grammatical (or punctuation, spelling) hill would you die on?"
29.

Have you considered original fiction? :) :)

(I say, as someone whose motto is "fanfic means never having to confront worldbuilding ever again if you don't want to!" I have always been the writer with a situation or relationship in search of a context.)

Those are excellent story ideas.

When I first read this I thought
"And they just sit there like empty jackets on hangers, waiting for someone to put them on."
Was another story idea...
