I don't know that I'm up for participating myself (which is a testament to how down I've been lately, because this is so my thing), but I wanted to let y'all know that there's an awesome Crossover Drabble-a-thon starting up, and y'all should all go write. Because I know there are those of you out there who love this sort of thing (*coughredsilverchainscough*) and there can never be enough crossovers in the world.

THE CROSS-A-DRABBLE MEME

Go forth and write fic!

However, if you want to leave prompts for me in the comments, maybe something will catch my eye? No guarantees, of course, but perhaps?

I've been down myself. Hey, since we're both already down there, might as well lean on each other, right?

*flops down next to you*

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

It sucks, doesn't it?

I'm always up for mutual leaning.

*hugs*

[eta] I thought you'd been a bit quiet the past couple of days! I hope things have gotten better than they were the last time we really talked.

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Well, my computer went kaplooey on my birthday, too, so I had trouble getting online like I usually do.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Have you got it worked out? That sucks so hard.

[angearia.livejournal.com]

I did! I actually posted about that today. :)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Apparently, I missed something.

*scampers off*

[next_to_normal]

Is there something in the water that's making us all feel down? Or is it our psychic connection?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's like in that episode of The X-Files and we're all government-produced clones of each other and we're all going to go evil or something.

[next_to_normal]

and we're all going to go evil or something.

Well, I think it's rather too late for that, don't you? :)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Well, true, but I think people might still be surprised if we all kill our adopted fathers at the exact same time in an effort to be reunited.

HAHAHA YOUR ICON IS SO PERFECT!

[next_to_normal]

Syncronicity FTW.

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

omg i must do thisss.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

YES YES YES YES YES YOU MUST.

And, knowing me, I'll probably end up over there at some point. I just wish I felt more like writing.

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

i just finished my first fic in six months. aka the only thing i've written and finished in six months. aka it's awful, but it's done, and now i want to have some fun, dammit.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Aw! Congratulations! I'm so proud! Go have fun in celebration!

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

i'm watching lost. i don't know if it's fun so much as a love affair i can never relive againnnnn but it is happening, as it has been happening for the last two weeks.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Ha! Well, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself! And who knows--I might get around to watching that one of these days....

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

DO IT.

I WILL TEMPT YOU WITH NON-SPOILERY OTP GIFS:



and another otp,



and another otp,

Confession of the day: back when I watched the show, I shipped Kate/Sawyer, and I couldn't stand Jack.

*runs away*

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

THAT IS SO SADDDD.

most people can't stand jack. or kate. some of us love jack/kate.

by the finale, everyone appears to have loved all of the above.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I'M SORRY I'M SORRY!

From what I remember, I liked Kate but thought she had more potential than the writers knew what to do with. Sort of like Martha Jones for quite a bit of her run on DW: I see her awesome, but sometimes the writers just don't write it. Of course, I think they ended up doing right by Martha in the end (I am never going to get over my love for her "This is me, getting out" speech), and I hope they did the same for Kate.

But yeah. No love for Jack from me. *sigh*

But the finale!love makes me hopeful!

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

this is actually exactly what happened with kate. well, what happened with kate is this:

kate was supposed to be the main character. jack was supposed to die. the network didn't like it. jack became the main character. epic otp was born. this was fine as long as jj abrams was on the show writing fierce ladies. but then s2 happened. jj left to do fringe. and lost has been unable to write fierce ladies ever since. it's a problem. so, kate, like martha, is more awesome than the writers know what to do with. unlike martha, kate doesn't have much of a fandom to back her up. but i and likeserendipity will back her up. fy.

JACK WILL GROW ON YOU. or maybe not. but that's okay. i guess. i love him.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

WHAT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN CHARACTER?

I had no idea. That makes me mad. Stupid network. And I hate that the fierce ladies didn't get to keep being fierce. Though that's kind of exactly how I suspected things went.

Hey, I'm one of those "all the fictional women you hate" girls. I would probably back her up. :D

I DON'T KNOW. I think he sounds like the kind of character I can never stand. Which makes me sad! I don't want to dislike any characters! But I think he is not my type. But I support your love for him!

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. i am partially pissed but also partially i have no idea what lost is without jack shephard. even when i hated him, and oh, there are times - seasons (s5. kill me. and jack.) when i hate him with all i have. but he is this show. and jack/kate? what is lost without jack/kate? in the original plot, kate was going to be married to some dude on the plane and would spend the show looking for him? so where would the ships be? WHERE WOULD JACK/KATE BE? WHAT WOULD I BE DOING RN IF JATE DID NOT EXIST?

i don't know. i do not know. so, really, my problem is that kate is awesome in s1. and then she drops off the map and becomes sex object austen, and that's fucking rude.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

INSANITY. Especially because everyone tells me that the show ended up being the Jack Shepard show.

so, really, my problem is that kate is awesome in s1. and then she drops off the map and becomes sex object austen, and that's fucking rude.

I totally agree with this statement.

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

it was. number 23, baby.

[snickfic]

But Juliet! Juliet is fierce lady, y/y?

If I ever picked up Lost again (I stopped at the end of S3), it would absolutely be because of Juliet. I thought she was fascinating.

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

I LOVE JULIET. but then juliet... encountered some troubles. i wrote an essay about it. i'm a nerd. it's fine. but if you like juliet you should pick the show up again for sure. she pretty much owns this motherfucking island.

[snickfic]

Noted. I might do that one of these days, now that it's all over. (Turns out, I actually don't deal that well with open canon. I want to know there's an end, one way or the other.)

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

do it. i'm re-watching the show as we speak, actually. state of mourning. i miss it.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Ha! I feel the same way as Snick--if I gave it another chance, it would be for Juliet.

[snickfic]

I couldn't stand Jack or Kate by the time I gave up. (Actually, I think the number of people I could stand had dwindled to one hand's worth.)

[snickfic]

Hey, prompt me and maybe I'll manage something, eh? Although my success at crossovers has been limited thus far...

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! Exciting!

And this reminds me that I absolutely have to look at your Dawn-Dollhouse crossover...

Okay, I have this thing about Buffy being friends with Tony/Victor and Spike being friends with Priya/Sierra. I have no idea why. So if you wanna run with either one of those, feel free.

I am having the world's hardest time remembering what you've seen/read/etc. Wanna give me some fandoms and I'll throw some characters together for you?

[snickfic]

Well, I've been meaning forever to write a Sweeney Todd/Buffyverse crossover in which Angelus goes to Todd's shop to for a trim on that hair. But I haven't managed it yet.

Um. My problems is that I'm such a canon whore that I'd feel the need to rewatch most things before I wrote them...

Okay: Firefly, SeaQuest (but you haven't seen that, have you?), Dollhouse, Happy Days, Gilligan's Island, M*A*S*H. Plus a bunch of movies like the original Star Wars trilogy, Back to the Future and sequels, Oceans 11, Sabrina, O Brother Where Art Thou, Gattaca, The Matrix (but not sequels - bleah), Minority Report, The Music Man, Mary Poppins. And books, although it's been a bit hit-or-miss recently. Um, early Dune stuff, Tam Lin, pretty much everything Neil Gaiman and C.S. Lewis (although I've only read the Space Trilogy once).

Enough to start? I can't promise anything, though.

Honestly, I think those latter two sections might need total reworking. But I wouldn't mind hearing it, so I know for sure.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

GATTACA.

Sorry. I love that movie.

Would Dana from AtS meeting up with River Tam be too much crazy kick-ass girl? I have this thing for River being a Slayer in the future, so what if she had some sort of Slayer memories? Buffy's or Nikki's or Dana's or Faith's? What if she met up with Spike, who's still around and fighting the good fight? I may have already written that story, but there can't be too much of it, right?

For some reason, I feel like Wash meeting up with Han Solo would be made of awesome.

You could maybe do some L.M. Montgomery crossovers. Like Valancy's at some fancy party she doesn't particularly want to be at but she and Barney are there to make his dad happy. And she meets one of her favorite writers--one Ms. Emily Starr Kent. Or Walter's poem becoming really famous after his death and Emily wants to meet the family of the dead soldier who wrote it.

Gah. Suddenly I'm inundated with seven million ideas for L.M. Montgomery crossovers. I could do this all night.

Eh. I don't know. I'm not feeling very creative recently. Like my creative juices have frozen up and aren't flowing.

So not what you asked for!

[snickfic]

So, uh, here's Spike in the future, fighting the good fight. And that's about it. But it's all for you, my dear!

~~~~~~

Every so often, it happens. He battles demons, brave warrior he, and suddenly finds some bitty thing meeting him halfway, blocking his kicks and kicking his punches like she was born dancing. Every time he thinks, this is what he lives for.

But it isn’t. Even rarer, the girl looks at him, his face he can’t remember and the hair he still bleaches for just such moments as this – and her eyes widen, and she knows. Usually, she tries to kill him harder; once a feisty brunette kissed him and ran.

He’s still waiting for one that knows his name.

Re: So not what you asked for!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

OH OH OH OH OH!

I love it. Every word is perfect.

OH!

And now I want a long, long fic about this, about him waiting and fighting and dancing, and then finding the one who knows his name.

Re: So not what you asked for!

[snickfic]

Yay! I'm glad you liked it.

I, uh, may be writing one for you? We'll have to see. I am such a magpie with fic ideas lately - I keep hopping from one shiny thing to the next.

Re: So not what you asked for!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Am I cackling with delight at the very idea of this? Why yes, yes I am.

But at the same time, I'm a chronic magpie when it comes to writing, so I understand. But know that if you do write something, I will flail with joy!

[ineffort.livejournal.com]

Ainsley Hayes/Jeff Winger. BANTER FOR DAYS.

I am sending you all my feel good vibes, my dear. <3

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

THAT IS TOO MUCH AWESOME. Gah, I wish I could write good banter.

Thank you so much, hon. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.

[redsilverchains.livejournal.com]

*IZ DED OF HAPPY*

I so need this in my life right now! \o/

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

YAY! It made me think of you!

I'm currently trying to write Blair Waldorf/Tony Stonem fic....
