Fic Meme  
Right, as both of us are feeling very mellow and 'enabling', here is another fic meme type thing. Comment here with your preferred fandom and [info]fiandyfic will look into their crystal ball and give you three elements randomly picked from the Periodical Table of Story Elements.

You then comment back with a fic in your preferred fandom and incorporating all three elements.

Crack is encouraged, but not necessary. Length is not important as it is, after all, what you do with it that counts. Give us a sentence, give us a full novel. Knock yourself out (or don't. Please. It hurts and it makes us cry...)

We'd prefer fandoms that we know in order that *we* get maximum pleasure out of this, but we appreciate that some folk may want to write in new fandoms.

(PS: We can't quite get the random number generator to work... )

ETA: Well, a couple of you have raised the issue of deadlines so we've had a discussion* and decided on "open-ended, but let us know when you're done". Hope that's good news.

Oh, and just so you know, the random number generator apparently works much better after several pints of Sam Smith's Autumn Reserve cider - so expect your challenges when we can see straight again.

ETFA: So you don't have to scroll in the comments, under the cut is the list of completed fic.

1. [info]kirsteena wrote Demonstrations and Remonstrations in Life on Mars. The three prompts were Giant Props, Gargoyles, and Genetic Abnormalities.

2. [info]emeriin wrote Painting It Black in Withnail and I. The three prompts were octopi, lab accident and henchmen.

3. [info]bistokids wrote Mr. Benn in Life on Mars. The three prompts were dinosaurs, pirates and retcon.

4. [info]dracothelizard wrote Two's Company, Three's a Crowd in Top Gear. The three prompts were 'female counterpart', 'mad genius', and 'ninjas'. Note: this is a link to a friends-locked community.

* read: jelly, wrestling, skimpy bikinis

I wanna play!!!
Is there a deadline? Because I wanted to try my hand at Good Omens, but I don't know how long would it take me to write a passable fic something.

Just saying.

:D

Re: I wanna play!!!
No deadline, but if you don't post something we'll come round and do something really nasty...

Oh, well. Good Omens then.

I'll try to be as quick as possible.

Ooh, I'll have Top Gear please. Or I could attemp Life on Mars, your choice.
Fi 'n' Andy: meerkats[info]fiandyfic on July 31st, 2007 07:47 pm (UTC)
Top Gear.

28, 52, 118.
Andy: Pub![info]m31andy on July 31st, 2007 12:34 pm (UTC)
Okay. I can't be bothered to pick a new fandom - Life on Mars.
Darth Fi[info]darthfi on July 31st, 2007 07:51 pm (UTC)
In the interests of fairness, neither of us picked these. Instead a third party (so you know who to kill, Andy), was asked for three random numbers between 1 and 118. I haven't even looked at them!

17, 47, 82.
Andy: Camberwick Sam[info]m31andy on July 31st, 2007 11:05 pm (UTC)
17 = Cowboys
47 = Giant Props
82 = The Headquarters

I can tell these are random - they actually make sense, in the context.

*g*
kirsteena: Coolest 80s[info]kirsteena on July 31st, 2007 12:35 pm (UTC)
I'll ask about deadlines too.

And, meh, write what I know. Life on Mars.
Fi 'n' Andy: meerkats[info]fiandyfic on July 31st, 2007 01:17 pm (UTC)
No deadline, but we do expect fic sometime this century!

*g*
kirsteena[info]kirsteena on July 31st, 2007 01:23 pm (UTC)
This century is fine - just not necessarily this year?!

Find fic here!
[info]ex_emeriin213 on July 31st, 2007 01:33 pm (UTC)
You most likely have no idea what this film is but as it's angsty and slashy and I love it; 'Withnail and I', if I may.
Fi 'n' Andy[info]fiandyfic on July 31st, 2007 01:48 pm (UTC)
I'm afraid one of us is old enough to have seen it in the cinema when it came out.
[info]ex_emeriin213 on July 31st, 2007 01:55 pm (UTC)
I'm young (and lucky). :) I've coveted my father's DVD of it, same with Life of Brian, Donnie Darko and Cabaret.
kirsteena: cloak![info]kirsteena on July 31st, 2007 02:01 pm (UTC)
Don't worry, I saw it at the cinema when it first came out too...
Darth Fi[info]darthfi on July 31st, 2007 02:02 pm (UTC)
So we both saw it, in fact, before [info]emeriin was born?

I'll get me zimmer frame!
kirsteena: 3 piece suit![info]kirsteena on July 31st, 2007 02:16 pm (UTC)
That would appear to be the case - ok, I probably shouldn't have gone to see it (I was 13, but didn't care).

Make sure there is a zimmer frame for me.
Andy: Roundel[info]m31andy on July 31st, 2007 02:17 pm (UTC)
Are you quite sure you can remember where you parked it???
kirsteena: Eh?[info]kirsteena on July 31st, 2007 02:20 pm (UTC)
Erm.....

[info]ex_emeriin213 on August 2nd, 2007 01:31 pm (UTC)
12: Octopi
23: Lab Accidents
61: Denominated Henchmen

I'm going to have to drink a fuckload of booze before I can write this utter crack.
Andy: Dream[info]m31andy on August 2nd, 2007 02:46 pm (UTC)
*snigger*

I'm sure you'll come up with something *sparkling*

*g*
[info]ex_emeriin213 on August 7th, 2007 06:46 pm (UTC)
And here is linkage: http://emeriin.livejournal.com/30111.html

Warning: Not exactly happy. (I simply cannot write fluff in this fandom, it's impossible.)
don't mess with the Pie Ho, oh no!: tea[info]jantalaimon on July 31st, 2007 02:26 pm (UTC)
Of course I'll play, but I'm indecisive and crazy at the moment. So do you want to pick a fandom for me that you know I know? Otherwise it might take me awhile to choose. XD
Fi 'n' Andy[info]fiandyfic on July 31st, 2007 02:30 pm (UTC)
*cough*

We'll see what we can come up with. There will be a condition though - no crossing it with Silent Hill.

*g*
Fi 'n' Andy[info]fiandyfic on July 31st, 2007 07:49 pm (UTC)
Silent Hill. (Hey, we just said you couldn't cross it over with Silent Hill).

24, 53, 113.
Draco the Lizard[info]dracothelizard on July 31st, 2007 02:58 pm (UTC)
Oh, go on, give me three for Top Gear.
Fi 'n' Andy: meerkats[info]fiandyfic on July 31st, 2007 07:49 pm (UTC)
14, 85, 93.
Draco the Lizard[info]dracothelizard on August 1st, 2007 03:30 pm (UTC)
Right, so that's Female Counterpart (fun!) Ninjas (even funner!) and Mad Genius.

...I think this will be a highly serious and dramatic epic.
Andy: Fanfic Rant[info]m31andy on August 2nd, 2007 02:47 pm (UTC)
You know, I can see that. Sort of like Brokeback Mountain, but with more sheep.
LittleMoose: TG - Roadtrip: Sign[info]littlemoose on July 31st, 2007 04:25 pm (UTC)
OK, I'll bite - might help with the block, you never know ;)

Top Gear, please!

Sounds fun! And I haven't written anything for ages, and the Ficathon's almost upon us, so this'll be a good workout.

Sorry to be dull, but LoM please. (Although if I'm feeling really brave I might change my mind and go for Dr Who instead).
Andy: Is God[info]m31andy on August 1st, 2007 06:17 pm (UTC)
*cough*

You mean you haven't started your ficathon piece yet?!
I, being poor, have only my dreams.: oh shit[info]bistokids on August 1st, 2007 06:34 pm (UTC)
Erm...obviously I've given it a great deal of thought. And it's all written in my head. Or at least the title is. Actually, that's not true either.

*gets coat*
Andy: cute!Sam[info]m31andy on August 1st, 2007 11:12 pm (UTC)
*grin*

Well it's a truism that we work better under pressure...
Fi 'n' Andy[info]fiandyfic on August 2nd, 2007 11:43 pm (UTC)
Right, we met up tonight and consulted the generator.

4, 53, 109.
I, being poor, have only my dreams.: oh shit[info]bistokids on August 3rd, 2007 05:00 pm (UTC)
You know, I'd always thought there weren't enough dinosaurs in Life on Mars.
Andy: evil!sam[info]m31andy on August 3rd, 2007 05:04 pm (UTC)
*nods emphatically*

More dinosaurs, more pirates and *definitely* more ninjas.

*grin*
I, being poor, have only my dreams.: married[info]bistokids on August 4th, 2007 08:01 pm (UTC)
Okey-dokey. You want LoM with added dinosaurs and pirates, I live only to serve, this works as a mutual relationship. Posted in Life in 1973 (for which I'm sure they'll be eternally grateful) at this link

Definitely crack...
