kateI made some things that I really ought to be proud of, and I've been all over today talking about things and having ideas, and I just think I should post about them.
1.![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
eastwick_fic. This show is just... mmm, those women! I love them! I want more of them! I don't know Paul Gross from a hole in the ground (sorry, dS fans), but I think I'd like to see some well written plotty fic about him. I know I want more femslash, because GUH.
2.prospectus. cesare was thinking of having a WIP amnesty. I was thinking that if a bunch of people did WIP amnesty together, it would be less terrifying (for those of us who have never done it before). I'm terrible at both pimping and contest-y type things, but I think prospectus really could be used to get some of those ideas rolling around in our heads and/or WIP folders out into the world, and clear up the guilt or frustration or whatever it is, and move on with whatever else we're working on.
3.queerlygen. I've recently had a bit of a discussion in my journal about warnings/headers/contains and it reminds me that this is one of the reasons I subscribe to the philosophy behind queerlygen. That and fiercelydreamed is an incredibly thoughtful and articulate mod, and this is a nice space in which we can enjoy stories about queer people that are about the people part, and not the queer part.
4.3_ships. I have this incredible urge to sign up for every sesa ever. I'm not confident enough about most of my fandoms to volunteer any threesome though, and the only one I'm pretty confident about (SGA), there are several characters that would absolutely kill me to have to write. It's like when I signed up for rarepairs and had to write Sheppard/Heightmeyer. It nearly broke my brain. So I don't think I'll sign up (even though I have awesome story requests), but I might attempt pinch hitting. I seem to be able to get past whatever issues I have if I don't really have enough time to stew about them. YOU, however, should sign up. Because you're probably not as neurotic as I am, and just think of the Star Trek/Heroes/Leverage/Psych/Eastwick threesomes you could request! There's a bunch more awesome fandoms, so check it out.
5.soleta and I once talked about rewriting Season 5 of SGA. It's been half done for us already, if we take Ordinary Life in lieu of Brain Storm, and... a couple of more fic/ep replacements that I can't remember right now. I don't think I'd ever manage the whole of Season 5, even with soleta's help, but what if a bunch of writers wrote episodes? We could rewrite Season 5 the way it should have been done! We can fill in storylines and delete bad characterization! We can make a Season 5 that will make us proud! Do you think we could get 20 writers to write an episode each? I'm tempted to do it anonymously; each writer could put in a prospectus or two, or ten, and then have people vote by poll to see which eps actually get put into our AU Season 5. We'd need a couple of people to oversee the whole season, to make sure characterization matches up and any more-than-one episode arcs get taken care of. Hrm. Does this interest anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
