Will have to ponder #1, but #2 looks like so much fun. Andrew and Dawn bodyswap and/or Spuffy accidental-baby-acquisition (best name for a trope ever, lbr).

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Okay, with Dawn and Andrew, Andrew would IMMEDIATELY start planning for ALL THE COSPLAY. He'd go out and buy a slave-Leia outfit, a Captain Janeway outfit, various Bond girls, you name it. He would just be so incredibly excited and start plotting to be the QUEEN of every con he could possibly visit. Dawn, meanwhile, takes it mostly in stride with lots of eye-rolling, and immediately starts doing serious research into every possible explanation. She would find a solution all on her own with her own brainpower (because she's awesome) because she solves all her own problems. But she might possibly be convinced to stay in Andrew's body for just a little bit longer so that he can know what it feels like to be queen of just one con. He learns quite a lot about geek sexism (Dawn smirks--she knew he would) and decides to start a geek fan initiative blog to raise awareness of female geeks' safety at cons, which he continues even after he's restored to his own body (said restoration involved a lot of whining because he'd really be happy to stay Dawn forever, but Dawn put her foot down because she has zero interest in being anyone but herself and she's quite fond of her body, thank you very much).

As for Buffy and Spike, I imagine that at first they would both just stare down at the cooing, adorable baby with blank looks on their faces. Or possibly horrified looks, because a tiny human dependant upon them is scarier than any demon they've ever faced. Then they'd call Dawn to save them.

But eventually Spike would be totally won over and charmed by said baby (especially if it's a girl, which of course it has to be), and he'd carry her under his arm like a football and dote over her all the time and buy her ALL the things especially weapons which he wants to teach her to use immediately. Buffy has to keep rolling her eyes and taking the sharp pointy objects away from the baby, and she turns out to be a surprisingly responsible mom-figure. Though she and Spike totally fight over who has to change the diapers. They mostly make Andrew do it.

[pocochina.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA! Spike + baby might be the perfect combination.

[streussal.livejournal.com]

Andrew gaining a feminist consciousness!! Yes good. And Dawn. <333

[gryfndor-godess.livejournal.com]

Aw, I love the idea of Andrew starting an anti-sexism blog, And lol at being a slave-Leia outfit and wanting to stay in her body; he sooooo would!

which of course it has to be

But of course. The alternative would not be half as adorable.

she turns out to be a surprisingly responsible mom-figure.

I always figured she would be.

#1: Your incredibly cuddly nature will lead some fangirls to paint you as polyamorous, you would be the little black dress of fandom.
And
Your raw enthusiasm and excessive fangirl Squee will often be mistaken for shallowness; and then you'd say something brilliant and surprise everyone.

#2: Can!!! Can I have Infinite cross-dressing/meet the parents COMPLETE MISHAP OF CRACK? Because I really want someone's parents to catch someone impossible cross dressing.


ps- I adore you

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Haha! That first would be quite the misrepresentation!

Your raw enthusiasm and excessive fangirl Squee will often be mistaken for shallowness; and then you'd say something brilliant and surprise everyone

I can easily, easily see this happening.

OMG. Okay, so let's say that Woohyun comes out to his parents and tells them that he's dating his bandmate Sungyeol. They have typical Korean parental mixed feelings about this and are only slightly appeased when he reminds them that they have another son who can continue the family name. But after some crying and yelling and angst they decide they'll try to make the best of it, and they try to offer an olive branch by coming to the next concert.

Only they don't tell Woohyun they're going to be there. And it just so happens that Sungyeol and Sungjong are reviving the Trouble Maker number.

Once Woohyun's mom realizes that that ridiculously tall and pretty lady is actually Woohyun's boyfriend, she's appalled--this is even worse than she thought; Woohyun's boyfriend is a drag queen; why couldn't he have picked a nice boy like that Sunggyu? She bets Sunggyu doesn't ever wear dresses. Woohyun's dad, on the other hand, has some strange mixed feelings about it and ends up saying something super-embarrassing to Woohyun backstage after the show about how he can kind of understand Sungyeol's appeal because he looked really good in that dress and he knows that Woohyun doesn't have access to any girls to date but isn't it a disappointment when he takes the dress off and there aren't any boobs? Woohyun is cringing, completely horrified (as is Woohyun's mom), and Sungyeol is blushing furiously even while he's snorting like a lunatic in an attempt to keep from laughing hysterically.

Later that night, Woohyun takes the dress off of Sungyeol and shows him just how much he isn't disappointed at what he finds under the dress.

Eventually they meet again when they're all in their regular clothes and it turns out that Woohyun's parents adore Sungyeol, especially his mom, who spoils him to death (which he LOVES and gloats about, of course) and asks Woohyun why he can't be more like Sungyeol, etc. Though his dad will always have a bit of trouble actually looking at Sungyeol because of reasons.

[pocochina.livejournal.com]

lol, I'm with K, you would get the classic fangirl misrepresentations.

14, Darla and Dru

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Hee!

It occurs to me in actually looking at that prompt that I don't actually know what the "curtains" part refers to? Got any ideas? Or should I just do the telepathy part?

[snickfic]

I'm having this awful realization right now that you and I share, like, no current fandoms. /o\

That said, tell me about the Spuffy+Dawn historical AU, plz. :)

If you were in a TV show, all the fic would have you as the unfailingly sweet yenta to other pairings. You'd approve of everything and you would never, ever get mad. Also, sometime in the first five episodes you'd say some funny/quirky thing that becomes your signature phrase in fandom FOREVER.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

It's tragic! We should find a new fandom to be in together or something.

Regency! (Because that's what I've been reading lately.) Viscount William Pratt, who goes by Spike, finds that he has unexpectedly attained a ward in the person of heiress Dawn Summers after her mother dies. At first he's less than thrilled, but he grows to adore her and wants to spoil her silly and be ridiculously overprotective and all that fun stuff. The one downside is that Dawn has a beautiful but penniless half-sister (they have different dads, both dead, obvs) who insists on being called by the ridiculous name Buffy and who has the most unconventional way of speaking, no respect for social expectations (except when it comes to Dawn), and who is absolutely devoted to Dawn. Dawn refuses to be without her and so Buffy moves into Spike's enormous manor and the two of them clash over how to raise Dawn and every single other thing it's possible to clash over (at one point they end up screaming at each other over what kind of marmelade is to be served at breakfast).

And then they fall in love and live happily ever after. At least until all of Spike's nightmares come to life when it's time for Dawn to debut.

you know where this is going cause, you know, it's me.

hoya/sungjong, and I'm torn between pretending to be dating/married and truth or dare (this one is sungjong's fault ofc).

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Hmmm....

Well, I can see Sungjong convincing Hoya that he just has to pretend to be Sungjong's boyfriend so that Myungsoo will leave him alone (Sungjong swears that if Myungsoo grabs his face and squishes his cheeks one more time he's going to murder him). Hoya isn't too thrilled by this idea because he's been having some feelings he's really uncomfortable with re: Sungjong for a while now. He's mostly been trying to be in denial about it, and he's worried about what this pretending-to-be-dating thing will do to his ability to keep up said denial, but he's incapable of denying Sungjong anything, so he goes along with it.

They play it pretty innocent at first, but Sungjong can be really persuasive when he's telling Hoya that they need to have more displays of affection so that their "relationship" is believable--and it would help a lot if they practiced some while they're alone so that they appear more comfortable with each others' bodies, right?

Obviously Hoya's resistence crumbles and as soon as he touches Sungjong for the first time he realizes he won't be able to keep his hands off of him. But Sungjong just smirks and informs him that he's quite aware that Hoya's into him and he's into Hoya, so they might as well just date for real, right?

And it turns out that Sungjong orchestrated the whole thing because he is an evil genius and he wanted Hoya. And he gets what he wants.

Truth or dare is pretty much the same thing: Sungjong suggests it, Hoya is worried but can't say no, it starts out innocent and turns very dirty very quickly, and by the end of the night, Sungjong has a boyfriend, just like he wanted all along.

[aerintine.livejournal.com]

1 - people would assume you're all innocent and naive (and a bit buttoned up) because of your accent and good manners (and because people always mischaracterize southerners). But then there'd be an episode where your bff discovers all your porny fanfic and all of fandom would realize there's more to you than meets the eye.


5 - Sungyeol and Woohyun


10 - Dongwoo and YOU

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I can see that all too clearly! Ha!

5 - So a variation on a fic you suggested yesterday: Woogyu is officially dead and management knows it, so they decide to shuffle all the "official" couples around and launch Wooyeol couple. Woohyun and Sungyeol are mostly pretty eye-roll-y about it (Myungsoo is pretty crushed but he comforts himself by squeezing Sungjong's cheeks a lot, which results in the Sungjong-Hoya scenario I wrote for laeryn above and Myungsoo being FOREVER ALONE while Dongwoo and Sunggyu are off being too fluffy for words) but they go along with it easily enough because they're good friends and good sports. Only things start getting confusing, because the more time they spend together touching each other, the more they're both secretly enjoying it. Woohyun starts saying all these ridiculously sappy things about Sungyeol for the fans, and Sungyeol's super confused by it because he wants all of those things to be true but of course it's just fanservice, so he covers his discomfort by complaining about it and snarking. But Woohyun is using all of the fanservice as an excuse to put out feelers to see if Sungyeol might possibly feel the same way about him meaning that he wants to rip all of Sungyeol's clothes off all of the time. Things come to a head with another round of the pepero game and they're both really shaken by how close they come to kissing and they both have to admit to themselves that they want to have each others' babies have feelings for each other. Things are awkward for a bit until Sungjong, who is sick of all the pussyfooting around, decides to take matters into his own hands (with a whipped Hoya as his sidekick) and he orchestrates a Benedict-and-Beatrice-like thing where he arranges for the two of them to admit that they look each other within each others' hearing without the other knowing about it (like in Much Ado) and they finally end up together and there's lots and lots of sexy times. And lots and lots of plotting of how to get revenge on Sungjong for yanking them around.


10 - I don't want to play this game at all, because I think Dongwoo knows I have a crush on him and also because I'm a wuss and don't like dares. But he's really sweet about it and mostly just asks silly truth questions that make me laugh a lot at first, and then asks more serious ones because he wants to get to know me. He always wants dares, and I'm not very good at thinking of them, so I ask Sungyeol for help (he's the best at dares) and Dongwoo ends up doing all the most ridiculous things Sungyeol can imagine. Lots and lots of laughing ensues and then Dongwoo gives Sungyeol significant glances and finally after torturing Dongwoo for a while Sungyeol takes mercy on him and leaves. And then Dongwoo is cruel and when I next ask for truth, he asks me if I like him. And I'm all blushy and squirmy (I'm trying to be realistic here--that's what I'd be like) and Dongwoo says it's okay because he likes me too.

AND THEN THERE IS LOTS OF KISSING OKAY?

I am so ashamed of myself--why did you make me do that no one will ever take me seriously again!

[redsilverchains.livejournal.com]

#1: Because of your hyperbole love, fandom's version of you would be like genderswapped Andrew Wells. :D

as for #2: The Junior Gazette and accidental-baby-acquisition!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Haha! Hopefully sliiiightly less annoying? :D

BEST PROMPT. Okay, so, Lynda is obviously just disgusted and wants the thing out of her newsroom immediately (she may feel a very, very, very tiny spark of something soft at seeing Spike cuddle it, but don't worry: she squashes said spark immediately). Spike quite likes the little toddler and has lots of fun playing with it, but is easily distracted by Lynda so he's not the best babysitter. Colin keeps trying to use it in one of his money-making schemes--"People love babies! They'll buy anything if a baby tells them to! Can we teach it to talk? No better salesmen than talking babies!" Fraz thinks it has evil powers and is trying to kill him. Sarah's a little uncomfortable with it; she'll make faces at it to make it life but doesn't want to hold it. So of course it's Kenny that gets stuck taking care of it, which the baby doesn't mind at all because the baby LOVES Kenny because he is a teddy bear come to life. Kenny sighs the sighs of the longsuffering and changes all the diapers. He gets some some help from Tiddler, who thinks the whole thing is really funny but is pretty great with kids, and lots and lots of totally useless instructions from Sam who knows absolutely nothing about babies but just likes to boss Kenny around so she can have his attention.

[streussal.livejournal.com]

Veronica Mars, apocalypse fic? Whatever characters.

And yeah, your Elena/Damon shipping would be completely misunderstood by fandom.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

My first thought was an image of Logan running over zombies in his giant yellow SUV. Gleefully. Obviously.

But here is the fic I would write: about the time s1 starts, Veronica, Logan, Wallace, Mac, and Weevil all end up trapped in the school during the Zombie apocalypse. None of them really know each other except Veronica and Logan who are in their hating-each-other phase, obvs. So the whole fic is them having to overcome their animosity (especially L&V and L&Weevil) and somehow survive. Obviously Veronica becomes bffs with Wallace and Mac and Veronica/Logan happens, but also Logan and Mac become unexpectedly good friends and Logan and Weevil start to respect each other while still pretending to hate each other. Basically, FOUND FAMILY.

[zombie_boogie.livejournal.com]

You're someone who wears their heart on their sleeve, so there might be swaths of fandom (i.e. assholes) who thought you were too "sensitive" or "emotional" or something. Fandom seems really hard on women who are openly emotional.

Since they're all I can think about lately: Joan/Sherlock, Elementary, OHMYGOD ALL OF THE TROPES. Ahem. BUT OBVIOUSLY PRETENDING TO BE DATING/MARRIED.

[crdbsarmiento.livejournal.com]

Because I don't really see them together and I feel like giving you a challenge(?), 9 for Hoya and Myungsoo. :D

PS I love your first Woohyun and Sungyeol shot above!

#13, Ron/Hermione

*evil cackle* I don't care if I'm predictable as hell.

As for #1, I think your sunny nature would contrast with how you'd rather stick to your close friends and family, so they'd come up with all these horrible backstories for you, whereas you'd just like to spend some alone time now and then.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

so they'd come up with all these horrible backstories for you, whereas you'd just like to spend some alone time now and then.

Haha, I can see it!

Oooh! Okay, so: Harry loses. Or at least they think he does: he and Voldemort both completely disappear during the battle at Hogwarts and so the war doesn't end. Ron and Hermione are devastated, of course, but they gather up the OotP and the DA and whoever else they can find and reorganize back at Grimmauld Place. It's harder because they don't have Harry to rally around and Dumbledore is dead, but they make do. Ron and Hermione end up basically running the show, with Ron coming up with all things strategic and Hermione organizing everything else. They're very good at what they do, but there are so few people on their side that things get darker and darker and the Death Eaters keep winning and winning. Ron and Hermione, though, basically become one person, completely dependant on each other and functioning as a unit. They don't have time for romance, but they're pretty much married without ever going through the sappy stuff.

Of course eventually they find Harry (maybe he's been trapped in some kind of magic statis? I'm not sure on that) and the three of them fight and WIN and everyone lives happily ever after. Basically.

[youcallitwinter.livejournal.com]

+ The fact that you're smart and confident and articulate and have opinions will immediately raise fandom hackles and whatever male love interest you have will get all the sympathy (reference: Summers, Buffy; Gilbert, Elena). omg, I am so depressing, but fandom is a terrible place most of the time D:

+ THIS SOUNDS SO EPIC. Derek/Casey for bodyswap! or even forced to share a bed! or truth or dare! I'M SORRY I HAVE ALL THE LWD FEELS AT THE MOMENT. Choose any one of those you wish :D

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

You are so depressing, but you are also so accurate. My heart breaks for fandom.

BODYSWAP OMO. Okay, so obviously there's screaming and running around and shenanigans in the McDonald-Venturi household when they wake up that morning and everyone's trying to figure out what's going on. At first George thinks this is some sort of epic Derek practical joke, but Lizzie points out that there's no way he'd ever convince Casey to go along with it, so obviously it has to be real. So then everyone panics again (watching Derek's body with Casey's spirit in it have a panic attack is really quite hilarious, Lizzie and Edwin think), but eventually they decide they have to just go with it for a while. Cue Freaky Friday-esque overplaying each other; obviously Emily and Sam and everyone (and whoever Casey's dating at the moment boo hiss) can tell something is wrong because they're both being epically weird--exaggerating each others' personalities because they're both terrible actors--but no one can figure out what it is.

Meanwhile, when they're alone, Derek constantly tortures Casey by acting like he's going to have as many sexual experiences in this body as possible because he's heard about multiple orgasms and wants to see if it's true. Casey freaks, of course. Derek isn't really going to do that to her--even Derek isn't that terrible--but he has lots of fun convincing her that he is. Meanwhile, Casey gets Derek's life "back on track" and his grades shoot up and she signs him up for all sorts of activities that he would never, ever agree to. She's hoping that this will change his reputation enough that when they switch back, he'll have to act more like a human. Fat chance of that, though. Casey's grades and responsibility drops drastically, but everyone just assumes she's sick or something so all her teachers reassure her that she can make up with extra credit and stuff--and they don't understand why she doesn't seem to care.

Paul has to deal with all this drama because obviously Casey confides in him, but he's totally weirded out by Derek Venturi pacing around his office waving his arms around and screeching like Casey always does.

On the romance front, Derek ends up learning a lot about how hard it is to be a girl--he thought he'd like the attention, but he really doesn't, especially because guys don't know how to take no for an answer--and also gains some insight into why Casey feels like she needs to control every single thing in her life. On the other hand, Casey finds out a lot of good things that Derek has done that he tried to hide from her, and sees that he isn't such a bad guy after all.

Something happens, I don't know what, they end up kissing and sleeping together and BOOM, they wake up in their own bodies the next day.

Through all of this, Marti is the only one who is completely unfazed. In fact, she pretty much likes it, because for the first time Derek agrees gleefully to play dressup with her. HA!

OMG THIS SHOULD BE A FIC.
