Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you something about the story that didn't make it onto the page.

From the Instant Slash Story Generator:

( Serious Janto crack - NSFW )

Ages ago, I started retagging all my meme entries - mostly so I could find old memes and laugh at myself. Today, because I am meant to be revising, I finished my task.

This has the unfortunate consequence of my largest tag category being "meme: self" - which makes me look like a self-obsessed freak. *le sigh*

However, I did find some old memes, which I will now shake the cobwebs off and chuck out there!

From dz_crasher:
Rec-Go-Round: Rec me one story you've written that you're proud of, any genre, here on my LJ. Then, go forth and ask the same in yours.

----------

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a drabble with the same first line as one of my stories, and leave it in my comments here. Any fandom, any pairing or gen, and you can interpret "drabble" as loosely as you want.

( Twenty first lines under the cut )

Leave a list of fictional characters in your journal that you would love to get a message from. It is your friend-list's mission, should they choose to accept it, to write you an in-character note from a character on that list. Then they post their own list in their journal and the process continues!

1) Ianto Jones (Torchwood)
2) Deadpool (MarvelU)
3) Dick Grayson (DC Comics)
4) Daniel Jackson (Stargate SG-1)
5) Ted Kord (DC Comics)
6) Nick Stokes (CSI)
7) Kyle Duarte (Jake 2.0)
8) Lee "Apollo" Adama (Battlestar Galactica 2003)
9) Data (Star Trek: TNG)
10) Archie Kennedy (Hornblower)

When you see this, post a little weensy excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.

I have a lot of WIPs collecting dust.

( Stargate, The West Wing, CSI, Firefly, Doctor Who, DC Comics, Buffy, Smallville, Torchwood - and some of those are crossovers! )

This is a cool writing idea that I found whilst doing monitor_duty - please play!

Never Have I Ever Written

The Rules
If you would like to play, comment with something you have never written or drawn, and skim through the other suggestions. If someone else has proposed something you have written or drawn, write a snippet -- anywhere from ten words to a novel -- proving that you have done so. If you're an artist, feel free to scribble something and post it.

If you catch someone claiming not to have written or drawn something that you can prove they've done, you can request a snippet from them.

For every three snippets you write, you may make another "Never have I ever" declaration. Make sure you won't get caught!

Never Have I Ever Written Connor/Kyle fic

Well, this should be a joke! 2007 - the year I stopped writing in theory, way back in...July? Let's play, shall we?

( Heh )

A monster post deserves a monster reward!

Have you met ________? meme
I like making friends! If you think someone on your flist would make a good friend for me, comment with their username and tell me why we'd get along like burning bricks!

Movie quotes guessing!
A. Pick 5 of your favorite movies.
B. Then pick one of your favorite quotes from each movie.
C. Post the quotes in your journal.
D. Have those on your friends list try to guess what the movie is.
E. Strike out the quote once it has been correctly identified and place the guesser's user name directly after the quote.

( Quotes under here )

The meme everyone's doing
( I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. )

Dear Santa
Compose a letter to Santa as a character of your choice from a fandom of your choice.

( No, I do not count this as fic... )

I'm jumping on the bandwagon:
You post a comment with a "five things" request (or several). (examples: "Five Phrases House Will Never Say", or "Five Things Buffy Will Never, Ever Wear") Then, in a separate post, eventually, I'll post the answers to some your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious or fun! Then you post this offer in your own journal, if the mood takes you.

Fic Title Alphabet Meme from helsinkibaby

( A-Z! )

( Personality... )

marzie_pan and I discovered the hilarity of MS Word last night, as with curiosity we tried it out on our oh-so-long-and-unfinishing Hornblower fic.

Now I challenge you!

Take a fic you've written and put it in Microsoft Word (if it isn't there already). Hit 'Auto Summarize' under Tools, set it at 1% and reproduce the result here!

( '1, Burns Close' - Carson/Rodney )

*g*

I'm meant to be working. Unsurprisingly, I'm watching the cricket and playing on lj. :) My Dr Who torrents are running a treat, however, so it's all good.


From dz_crasher: Rec-Go-Round: Rec me one story you've written that you're proud of, any genre, here on my LJ. Then, go forth and ask the same in yours.


From ariestess: 1) Make a list of 15 characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment. (That way you're not leading the questions asked to fit the characters.)

2) Ask your flist to post questions in the screened comments.

For example:
"4, 6, 12 & 15 are starting a band together, what is their name and what kind of music do they play? Also, who's the lead singer, and what instruments do the others play?"

3) After your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the 15 characters you selected beforehand, and then post them.

Ooh - just got nominated in the CSI Fanfic Awards! Check it out here - it's one of my Speed/Eric fics, 'The strangest thing'. Am really quite chuffed!

And thieved from dz_crasher and helsinkibaby:

Name a pairing (that I'm familiar with, in a fandom I'm familiar with) and I will write one line/paragraph of a story for it.

Anything goes - as long as I know the show/movie/book!

It seems people have gone meme mad. I'm not sure why I'm putting off my slash overdose, but it does feel a bit weird. I just called my friend Nic and my words were forced. NOOO! I've been scarred!

Anyway:

( Memes )

Now I'm hunting slash!

Ooh, this looks like a fun meme! Stolen from helsinkibaby:

(And I so can't write them all out here - I'll just put down my more recent ones)

1) It’s not that he was bored.

2) He craves the sea.

3) At night, he dreams.

4) He wanted to fall asleep and never wake.

5) It was a waterfall that fell that night, slamming the window pane over and over until he’d cranked up the stereo to drown it out.

6) He couldn’t live with pity, with weakness like that.

7) Speed doesn’t eat breakfast.

8) “Aww, come on, Speed! The water’s warm, there’s not a cloud in sight – get in here!”

9) “I have to go, pet. That’s the way the world works.”

10) He couldn’t quite shake the feeling that something was wrong.

11) “Hey, Liberty’s a lot taller up close!”

12) Kyle had been staring at the file for the past ten minutes, flicking the pages absently and avoiding Lou’s eyes.

13) “Lou, please…”

14) Just. Get. Out.

15) I knew love once.

16) They stood on the edge of Mordor as the ground fell away and the enemy fled.

17) He sits, and he waits.

18) It’s only chemistry.

19) Just a stage.

20) “Finish now and I’ll buy you breakfast.”

21) The wind carried the scents of cinnamon bagels and rich coffee up to the balcony, and Nick breathed in the aroma like a dying man.

22) The shadows sweep like a curtain, and then there is nothing.

23) You know relationships don’t have to be complicated.

24) She opens the door and just resists slamming it.

25) “You sold it to ECKLIE?!”

Hehe - and some of those are damn near impossible, and some are just ridiculous. Dear me...

Had first Hep B jab today - why does being a doctor have to be so painful? Also sent back scary form for Nottingham, with the most ridiculous stuff on it. I am never gonna get an offer from there. :(

I always post these memes, and no one replies. I am unpopular. My writing sucks. This should not be news. :(

Leave a comment with a drabble request, pairing or character-based. Give me one line of dialogue to be written in a drabble/ficlet (100-500 words). After you comment, put this meme in your own journal.

JACK?! Of all the people I could've had, that is quite possibly the most absurd. NEVER EVER!!! Gah.

And a link found by helsinkibaby - so very very true: The Unwritten Rules of Fan-fiction

And a meme found by this lovely lady sullensiren:

1. Use fanfiction.net's Search >> Story By Summary and look up your name in either Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.

2. If there are any Mary Sues that share your name, pick the worst-sounding one and post the summary.

Lord of the Rings:

Beth, Liz, and Kay decide to do the voices for LoTR due to having no sound. Little did they know they would be punished...MUAHAHAHAHA!!!! plz R&R! silliness abounds!

That sounds...scary.

Harry Potter (cos I dislike rules):

OK so theres a new girl in skool beth, she has a mission to keep draco away from the dark side, can she do it???

Such a high level of disturbingness.

Birthday was yesterday, don't care, don't care.

Ta to all those who sent messages - love you guys!

From helsinkibaby:

Pick five, or ten, or more, of your fic titles. List them in your journal and explain how you came up with each one. Post this prompt as well, so that the meme spreads.

( MEMENESS! )
