Iron Author, stolen from stakebait

[camwyn]

I'm supposed to be working on four or five other things at the moment, but I could do with a bit of a challenge. Between Hellblazer: Hogwarts and Who Ya Gonna Owl? (which I will be working on this weekend), I've got two very large story arcs to hand. I've also got a novel that I started writing ages ago and have stalled on recently. I would like to write something small and interesting from an idea kicked to me from someone else... and this time I'm not going to ask you to write first. If you've been around for the first rounds, you know the drill. If not, this is a common writing exercise, inspired by cadhla and suitably adapted.

You can have fanfiction

Give me a character and one thing more -- a mood, a genre, a situation, an episode -- and I'll write you at least a drib right here in the comments. (A pairing and a situation are okay too, if you'd prefer. However, I am far more proficient at genfic.).

If you're on my friends list I suspect you already know what fandoms I can handle. Not taking any requests for people from Joss Whedon shows, as I never really watched them to begin with. If you're not sure, ask, and I'll see what I can do.


Unlike stakebait I am not proficient in poetry, so you're not gettin' any.

On the other hand, you're free to ask for original fiction.

Give me a genre (mystery, science fiction, porn, etc.) and a starting point, be it situation, character, dilemma, etc. And I will write you a dribble of original fiction -- most likely brand new, but possibly using a world or characters I've created in the past. I reserve the right to try to turn one of these into a real story and sell it, in the unlikely event that I'm attacked by inspiration.

Afterwards I'll do up a post or two with links to each comment, so people don't have to wade through the threads to find them.

Ooh, how about our League campaign world! A tea party gone wrong. :)

Chinese female warrior (posing as male) trapped in India, meets up with fair maiden not aware of gender thing, who is also a spy. Any time frame or context you like, as long as there is good music, flowers and chai! ;)

One of the Ghostbusters (and/or their support staff -- Janine, Louis Tully, even Slimer) crosses paths with the Greatest Thief in the World. (Identity of the thief, living or dead, ghost or not, conflict or friendship, motivations, etc. -- all up to you. Enjoy!)

In honor of a friend: Harry Potter fandom, Luna Lovegood the character, and broccoli.

You know, I have this bizarre urge to see a meeting between Gaspode the Wonder Dog and Brian from Family Guy in a dog park somewhere. That is, if you know anything about Family Guy.

Luna Lovegood. Mood- predatory. Or Zacharias Smith, same.

Any of the Ghostbusters find a peacock in the bunkroom. (I issued a challenge similar to this on one of my lists, but I'd love to see what you do with it.)
