cybermathwitchSo, the recent meme going around (warning - pic-heavy and not work safe per se) has me considering doing icons for several (not all, but many) of my interests. So there very well could be icon-spam from me later. Just saying. (Also have realized I need to go in and edit my interests, so badly. I added BSG-stuff on the fly, but I must add and remove other things.)
Also on my mind: NaNoWriMo 2006. In a nutshell, for those of you who don't know, the goal is to write 50,000 words in 30 days (specifically the month of November). It's an international effort and many, many people join in on the insanity every year. One of the things about it though, is that it has to be something new. No working on a project you've already started writing, even if you don't count what was written previously. (Yes, I've fudged that and tossed out the whole bloody bit of scraps from a story before and started fresh with the same idea, but you're not really supposed to. I'm a bad girl. Someone should punish me. ;) (Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm in a mood.))
ANYWAY, I learned the hard way after a couple of less-than-stellar years (see 2004 and 2005 to be precise, after getting 40,000+ in 2003 on a HP fic) that I need to start planning NOW. (It's ok to write notes and such before the event. Just no actual text.)
I wanted to do something BSG-ish, of course, as that is my new obsession. And that's who's talking to me (almost non-stop, thankyouverymuch). But I didn't really have a huge arc-type story besides the fic that won't stop growing I'm currently in the middle of (which I damn well plan on finishing the rough draft of tonight because I'm getting tired of beating at it).
So I went back to that whole "this has all happened before, and it will all happen again" idea. And mythology. And history. And alternate realities. And a little thing I learned about during my foray into reading Xena/Gabrielle fic called Uber!fic.
So I'm going to write the realities of Lee and Kara. Past lives, what-ifs, alternate realities, the lot of it. A jumbled puzzle of interconnected peices of what is, what was, what shall be, and what might be, as well as what won't be. (Though don't expect total crack!fic sections, as the muses I've got lined up so far are the more ethereal dramatic types. I LOVE crack!fic - I just can't write it.) In that vein, I'm taking writing prompts. (I'll probably be fishing for them from now until at least mid-November - especially if I get stuck.)
So... What types of scenarios would you like to see alternate Lees and Karas in? Time period, situation, relationship, etc. Let me know. Chances are very, very good that you'll get your wish. 50,000 words is a lot of scenarios.

3. Lee & Kara, Knights of the Roundtable after the Fall of Camelot, searching for the Holy Grail to try and save the people left behind.
4. Starbuck & Apollo: X-Men. Lee with sun based powers? Kara with...ummm...do I even want to know? *snerk*
5. Lee & Kara, companions to the Doctor....fighting Daleks in the Time War.

Ok, that was maybe not quite where I was going. I was kind of thinking more within the BSG universe, but all historical possibilities and what-if scenarios.
Some of that would make awesome crack!fic... and would be things I would love to read. Unfortunately? I totally suck at writing it. :(

Date: 2006-09-12 06:38 am (UTC)I like crack!fic myself. ;?) And I don't see any reason why the crack can't be canon in the BSGverse, part of that eternal cycle (which partly seems designed to reel in the original BSG if you want it to). But I get what you're saying.
All I can think would be something along the lines of Greek mythology, then. Or possibly a Midsummer Night's Dream...
