Because I am insane...

[donutsweeper]

I have signed up for the bronze challenge at paliphrase  where you write in for the same prompt in ten different fandoms.  *eep*  I chose the prompt "pensive" because I can write deep, thinky stories... but ten fandoms?  What was I thinking?!?!?

Make a list or 3! Look at your crossovers for a start, I think I count 6 fandoms off the top of my head...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately you can only do one crossover... But I wrote my recent " It's Only Castles Burning" with it in mind and that's Doctor Who. I've written in 7 fandoms total (Discworld, Dresden Files, Doctor Who, Due South, NCIS, SGA and Torchwood) but only few have not been crossovers.

I think I could probably write something for SGA and NCIS and maybe Dresden Files without Jack- but it'll be a challenge.

But I guess that's why I signed up for it!

The scary thing is that I chose the "bronze" level with 10 fandoms, there is also silver (15) and gold (25)!!! Twenty-five!

Wheeeeee, which fandoms are you going to write for? NCIS and Torchwood are part of the plan, right? Right? *bounces*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Of course! NCIS is so far the only other fandom (other than Who) that I've managed to write for without having to cross Jack over into it first.

Tony being all thinky and deep. That's totally doable, don't you think?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Tony being all thinky and deep is perfectly doable all right. He can even be all angsty and broken - as long as he's fighting it all the way or at least trying to hide it. a lot. at least that's what he does in my head every time.

Thinky!Tony. Oh, I know *falls over* If I were writing this, which I'm not and I will not *stomps at bunny*, I'd set it during the time that Gibbs is gone. Or maybe when he's in hospital. Or right after that scene in Requiem where Tony had to do CPR. Oh, the possibilities!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

thinky and deep and angsty and trying to hide it- absolutely. So many choices when to set it or how to write it. AS an episode tag it could tie into good wives club, chained, swak, twilight, kill ari, haitus, requiem.. etc... or just as a by itself story

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Oh God, yes! All of those! For a character who comes across as such a juvenile frat boy persona at the very first glance, Tony sure does thinky and deep and angsty very, very well - and, hell. The frat boy thing? Is so him trying to hide it.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it's all a mask. Which would make a good fic- did the mask slip? Is it time to let it slip? Can he show those he loves (aka GIBBS) who he really is inside? Shouldn't they already know?

Oh- you are EVIL. Now I must write that!

[unfeathered]

Wow! I only have four fandoms I can write in!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I didn't say I *had* 10 fandoms I could write in... *eep*

I've posted ones in 7 fandoms, and have been working on a crossover into a 8th (Jack/Logan Cale from Dark Angel) but that still leaves 2 more to pull from somewhere, and that's assuming I could manage to write in the previous fandoms without crossing Jack into them.

[unfeathered]

I'm sure you'll be fine! I just don't watch enough telly! :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

well, if you think of shows you've watched in the past... and DW, TW and SJA (if you've watched that) are each their own. Add in Angel and Buffy and that's already 5 for you.

[unfeathered]

Yeah, but I barely know DW and TW well enough to write them. And I haven't seen SJA. I probably could write for other shows I've seen, but I'd have to sit down and rewatch a fair bit first, and I just don't have the time, nor the willingness to spread my attention when I still don't feel I know TW/DW well enough! :-)

It's all a time thing, unfortunately, these days.

Hmm, just thinking of possible shows and there are actually loads, if I had the time to refresh and then, well, write! Alias, Spooks, Press Gang *g*, Star Trek (original, Next Gen & Voyager), Bones, Scrubs, Third Rock (do people write fic for that?) - hell, that's ten even without DW, TW, Angel and Buffy! Oh, and Firefly, but again that would require rewatching.

Eh. Give me a few years. When Jack's at school, then I'll diversify. *g*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Yeah- I watch a lot of shows, but know the fandom enough to write for? That's harder. I SO hear you on the time thing. dang kids and work getting in the way!

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

If we include *past* fandoms too, then I could probably manage to scrape up 10, but it would be touch and go.

You do know you're insane, don't you?

All the best people are.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I resemble that remark! *g* yeah, I totally am though. And this proves it.

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

Well, if you really do start to feel like you've gotten in over your head you can also do ten different pairings or characters within the same fandom. As you've already started with DW you'd be stuck with that, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be too hard.

Mind you, I think you could pull it off doing it the first way. I have faith in you!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I debated the pairings within the fandom, but even I can't slash Jack with that many people.

*crosses fingers* there's no rush *deep breath* and thanks!

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

even I can't slash Jack with that many people

Really? After that cliche-crackfic you just posted, I have all kinds of faith in you. I bet you could.

Either way, it's a challenge that sounds kind of fun! Says me, the person who is not doing it. :)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

lol- but that's crack. in serious writing? Not so much.

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

*encourages your muse*
tw100's prompt this week is 'kink' I'm deliberating trying to write a different one each day. So would you care to suggest a kink for today as your reward for signing up to this little enterprise? I'll let you chose the pairing too.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oooh, my choice? *bats eyes innocently* I'm thinking chocolate sauce and Tosh/Jack...

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

*Jaw drops* that's like het right???

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

okay, okay... either Jack/someone or Tosh/someone, but with the chocolate involved in someway (better?)

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

No no I can do this - I'll practice my alluding while I'm there... I just - Tea- right *g*
