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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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. Witha2zmom. 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. Becauseentrenous88 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 lovelya2zmom 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.

Awesome! As I was telling someone else, Reeperbahn was kind of an experiment for me; I just wanted to see if I could do what was in my head. The fact that so many people seemed to appreciate it makes me feel better about inflicting more on the world--though I don't think other pieces in the series would be in quite the same voice, style, etc. Thank god.
Did you ever read the AU one that yhlee wrote, were they are stuck in the Hyperion together post NFA?
Yes. Oh, yes. I forgot what it was called too but it was...wow. It was so, so good. If I could write A/Wes like that I'd lay down and . . . write more fic! And yeah, I haven't read it much either. I really need to beef up my What I've Read So Far list--I'm kinda ashamed.
I thought my 'to write' list was scary until I read yours
Yeah, sometimes it's downright terrifying.
