Fics I'd Like To Write
These are not New Years Resolutions. No way I'd be able to write all these fics in a year. Also, no way I'm writing all these fics, period. I love starting fics, thinking about them, filling up that blank page, but I have serious trouble getting through the middles and especially ending them. Usually, the less ideas I have for a fic the more likely I am to write it, because if I've thought about what's going to happen, etc, half the fun is already used up. But because it's New Years, and because I like looking at them,
-Short Darla/Riley porn. Possibly in the universe of Best Souvenir, because I don’t see how else it can be done.
-Short S/A/Nina porn. With metaphors about beasts and bars.
-Short *single perfect tear* Spuffy porn. Because I should be able to write that pairing.
-Short *single perfect tear* A/S porn. Because I should be able to write that pairing.
-Short Xander character sketch. About Xander’s girls. Yes, girls. In some fics, he is straight!
-Short Justine character sketch. I forgot what it was about though. But in my head, it was fancy. Since I can’t remember, let’s just say it’s all about Holtz’s voice. *thud*
-short B/A angst. Character death, Sanshu, magic babies, and IWRY fic cliches. Yay!
-Shot –midlength Buffy gen. In the words of
marenfic on the BBF: “a Buffy gen-fic that has little or nothing to do with who she's screwing (and my ultimate wish is to see her unpaired) and has excellent, balanced characterization. I'd like for it to have lightness to alleviate any angst or darkness. With a good Buffy voice.”
-Short, Dru/Angel/Spike (Buffy) version of “Destiny.” In which Dru forsees Buffy and Angel’s and Spike’s relationships to Buffy while Angel and Spike fight over Dru and fuck Dru. Scary stuff.
-Mid-length fanged four series. Expansion on Down There In The Reeperbahn. FF visit various cities in the world (each fic in the series would be a one-shot set in a different city each time). It would be fun to research the cities at various time periods and try to capture a real sense of place for each. Possibly various cities as seen through various ff characters (for instance, one just-Darla in America in 1600s, one just-Angel after skipping out on Darla in 1900 in China, Dru/Spike in Rome in ‘70s, etc) Though also possibly with a focus on seeing through Dru’s eyes. Also, opium. Also, corsets.
-Don’t know how long B/A post-NFA. With
a2zmom. Because doing anything with her is fun.
-Short/mid-length ensemble piece featuring Willow, Oz, Xander, and Cordy, during the summer after "Becoming." They pick their code names and Xander issues talkies. Oz comes up with cool ideas for attacking things. Missing Buffy is intensely felt and never, ever mentioned.
-Short/mid-length ensemble piece post-NFA. Featuring all characters left post-NFA, with the possible exception of Buffy and Angel. Started out as the different characters talking, gossiping, being interviewed, and stating their opinions on B/A getting together. However, I might take the B/A aspect out, and just write everybody gabbing about everyone else. My favorite part is the Xander/Illyria.
-Short/mid-length A/Wes. That's all I got. I love A/Wes, I just never have ideas about them, because they're so impossible. (-meta on why I think A/Wes is just imposssible.)
-Short/mid-length A/Wes all human AU in Scotland with kilts. Because
entrenous88 created a flesh eating plot bunny with her Scottish Ficathon. No, no, I don't know what is happening to me either.
-Mid-length ensemble porn series. Because we all know everyone and their moms secretly dream of Angel when they fuck. Faith/Lindsey. Lilah/Wesley, Justine. Connor/Cordelia. Possibly Spuffy. That’s all I got so far.
-Mid-length Buffy, Angel, Connor, and Dawn 5 Things Fic. Five ways NFA probably didn’t end. This is what I’m working on now, besides BS and AOLIT. FINISHED!
-Midlength S/A (or possibly, S/Aus) dark!porn!fic. In which Angel(us?) teaches and Spike . . . learns. I can’t figure out when to set it, and I despair of being able to write Spike!vioce. I probably can’t pull off what’s in my head for this fic.
-Mid-length ensemble comedy. Make that existential black comedy. Because I Heart Huckabee’s did it first but it was my idea, dammit! Also: mad Wes/Giles sex while arguing Locke’s theory of tabula rasa—possibly with Fred and her Freudian slit. Also, Spike and Gunn beating Xander and Angel at Super Mario Smash Brothers, thus inducing Xander,Angel bonding and possibly Spike/Gunn victory fucking. Or possibly Gunn/bitch!Xander, or S/X, but Angel won’t get any action, because did I mention he’s Liam and thinks Spike’s a psychotic perv (and Spike thinks he’s a repressed twat, and bloody hell, even Angel was more fun)? And I don’t care if Joss thrust Liam into the modern era first, I clap for his (Angel’s, not Joss’s) mental rape, and besides I want him (Liam, not Joss) to obsess over Cordelia’s boobs (though Joss does too, I’m sure of it), while Oz ponders the nature of the self, existence, Immanuel Kant and karmic cycles. Meanwhile Buffy pouts in the corner, tending baby!Connor, while said baby (though redfaced, screaming, and caterwauling) still fills Liam with strange paternal longing.
-Mid-length/long A/S all human AU. With incest. What?
-Mid-length B/A series. Angel’s porny sketchbook. Each picture tellssmut a story.
-Mid-length B/A series. Character/‘ship sketches, with a line in each (short) fic from an album I like. Because it would be a challenge.
-Mid-length 5 things fic B/A porn. 5 ways they didn't have sex...yet: 1. Phone sex and/or cybersex. Because I have a fetish. 2. B/A/S. 3. dom!Buffy. 4. A/B/F. 5. Mutual masturbation, because I have another fetish.
-Mid-length B/A porn. Angst. Kink. That’s all I got.
-Long B/A epic-thing. Take on the movie “Groundhog’s day”: the day from IWRY repeats over and over again. (I've already started this fic, here. It's a WIP, which I have shelved until I finish it and can send it to the lovely
a2zmom to beta. It's proving to be a very long fic, so it may be a while.)
-Long B/A epic-thing. Buffy goes back in time. Shut up. I want to write it.
-Long B/A epic-thing. Post-apocalyptic alternate reality, slightly wishversish but also kind of not. More of a “I wish Buffy had been born 20 years later” wishverse. I don’t know about this one. It’s pretty similar to other post-apocalyptic ARs I’ve read—in this fandom and in others.
-Long season 6 rewrite. Whistler doesn’t show Angel Buffy until after Buffy has jumped into Glory’s portal. Angel’s first view of her would be her wandering the streets of Sunnydale directly after her resurrection. I’m afraid it might be too much like Best Souvenir, but at the same time, I’m thinking about keeping the alternate history in Best Souvenir. I.e., Spike and Drusilla would be dead; Darla would be in Sunnydale with a chip. I just don’t know whether I should play in my own universe like that.

Okay, now. Other fandoms. Yes, I write and have written in other fandoms, a-and don't laugh at some of the wack things I've written fanfic for!
-Finish my "Sound of Music" fanfics. Yes, Sound of Music. Yes, me, fluff.
-Finish both my "Ever After" fanfics. Even fluffier. Strangely, I didn't even like the movie all that much. I just love the fairy tale Cinderella to itty bits and pieces.
-Mid-length "Firefly"! Starts directly after "Serenity." It's six chapters, and each chapter a new character has died and a different wacky pairing is having sex. Mostly, just porn. Must include Simon/River, Mal/River, and Jayne slash, because he is so gay.

ETA:
-short meta comedy about writers block, muses, inspiration: Conversation with Semby.
-something about the Immortal
-a slash fic in which one character has to go save the other from one of those dreadful AUs.
-Short Darla/Riley porn. Possibly in the universe of Best Souvenir, because I don’t see how else it can be done.
-Short S/A/Nina porn. With metaphors about beasts and bars.

What's interesting is I'm not sure he could bring himself to put himself in any of his sketches, especially if drawing Buffy. I thought it would be interesting for him to draw himself really sketchy in the shadows, or just like the outline of a hand touching her, and then not be able to finish it. His own desires would sully the art for him. There was a lot of frustration in his sketchbook, and I bet you could read the story of his life on it had most of them not been burned in "To Shanshu in LA"...Anyway, I want Buffy to look at it and have to read all that, and come to her conclusions about what such lurid drawings mean...because some of them are most certainly not of her.
no subject
So yes. Angel draws Pron. A lot. And I'd love to see your take on that. Man, yes.
no subject
I'm definitely hoping to do this one.
no subject
And yes, please please to be writing that one. Please. Also, the many multitude of B/A. And an S/A from you would rock my socks off.
no subject
It was one of my first ideas for a fic, I just don't have a ... I dunno, call it a 'hook' yet. I need a special way of putting it together which I just haven't thought of yet. But! The thing I'm writing now has B/A porn, and I mean to write good A/S one day even if writing Spike kills me.
no subject
Could also give Buffy a spyhole into Angel's realationship with Darla. - Sure he say's he didn't love her but there was a very instence relationship all the same.
If I beg???? If I beg Reeeeeally hard?
no subject
Exactly what I meant. Also, an insight for Buffy into Angel's relationship with Cordy. Also, and insight that Angel is Angelus. There's drawings in there of Spike on his knees, Wesley torn and bleeding, of Darla and Buffy gettin' it on. It's not a pretty place in there.
This is one I really really want to write, and I've had the idea for a long time. I've just been having trouble with how it works as a story. I need a hook or format or some method of putting the pieces together to write anything (that's not a long multi-chaptered epic; I find that easy), and I haven't come up with one for this, yet.
But! Thanks for being interested.

(Anonymous) 2006-01-03 08:27 am (UTC)(link)a short introduction piece and then a collection of stand alone works. That way you could also just add to it as you feel inspired and fit in other works around it.
no subject
OR! i'm envisageing a website where the format is part of the story, sort of a frontpage with the intro - click through to an interactive graphic - (probably flash) of Angel's floor you can just see the furniture and stuff at the edges and the floor is strewn with pictures, and the pictures link you to the stories. So you click on a graphic and instead of lifting up the picture and making it bigger you get the story come up in front, with little paper edges and stuff.
Exciting to think about - hard to build

The general idea was yes, to do a series, each drawing like a self-contained ficlet that you could read separate or all together. Also. I had thought before about drawings to go with each one--drawings that weren't necessarily the drawings described in the ficlets, because I can't really draw porn, but you know, just sketches. I did a sketch of Buffy for it--I don't draw but I was still rather pleased with the result.
Still, I meant something completely different by 'format'; that probably wasn't the right word anyway. My other short completed fics each have a ...I don't know what to call it. All of them are patterns, a way for the writing to mirror the medium to mirror the text. I need to do a post on this some day, and really go into detail, because I'm not explaining very well. But! the hook I'm looking for will come to me one day, and then I will write this piece ;o)
Thanks for your ideas; they certainly set my brain to working.
