Survey

Stolen from various people.

1. Twenty stories, one writer, writing at their peak. You choose the fandom(s), but it has to last you a year. Only one writer. No, seriously. Gun to your head. Only one writer. No exceptions. Only one writer.

Silvia, who would have to write:

• One Marcus/Oliver, Harry/Draco epic;
• Five H/D or M/O storieses, combine at will;
• One Cooper Hawkes/Nathan West epic;
• One Lee/George story;
• Five Spike/Xander stories;
• Three James/Jason (Metallica) stories ;
• Three Sex Pistols stories, any pairing;
• One U2 story, any pairing.

2. God is merciful. You can choose five stories each from four writers, but only after you've chosen twenty stories from one writer.

Oh, lord. Jen Riddler, Shalott, Jae, and Wax .

3. God is kind. You can choose five pro authors, living or dead, to write one story each in the fandom(s) of your choice.

Okay, sad thing? I thought about this for so fucking long and I can still only come up with four pro authors I actually still like to read. Sigh.

• Stephen King -- Something in Harry Potter fandom. I think something in the style of the Dark Tower series would fit this fandom so well, for some reason. Or prehaps something in the style of The Body.
• Poppy Z Brite -- Sex Pistols. Yes. Mrrrr.
• Douglas Adams -- Popslash. He could do Chris so much justice.
• Tabitha Lee -- Spike/Xander. God, she'd be brilliant.

Neil Gaaaiiiiman. Good Omens slash. Because, yes.

But dude, I -like- the Stephen King/HP call. I'm thinking I'd prefer style of The Body ... unless it's about the older generation, then DT might actually work better ... anyway, mrrr.

See, I thought of Neil Gaiman (and Terry Pratchett) but I couldn't think of something I'd like them to write. A Draco-centric story, perhaps?

I did, however, think of asking JKR to write H/D. Heeee.

See, I think the TB/DT decision depends more on what the story is about than about whom it's about. A story set in three or four years, in the middle of the second War, would go really well with DT style. Or a post-(either)War story, too. But you can write a young!Marauders story very much in the style of TB just as easy as you can write a Harry&Co!story in that style.

Mmmm, post-War!Harry/Draco in the style of the DT series ...

Neil Gaiman AND Terry Pratchett writing Draco would no doubt be hilarious, but I'm not quite sure I'd want to see it ... actually, for some reason I can see Terry Pratchett write HP fic, but not Neil Gaiman. Or at least I can't think of any HP fic I'd want Neil to write. *scratches head* Which is strange, seeing as how he's my favourite author, but I can't seem to find a situation or character I'd associate with his style ... (Maybe some vaguely ironic, vaguely dark Snape fic. Hmmm. Yeah, I'd like that.)

See, I think the TB/DT decision depends more on what the story is about than about whom it's about.

Good point. I always kind of think of the older-gen as their grown-up selves (around the time Harry was born, the earliest) and of H/D/etc. as still in school, but what you said makes a lot more sense. TB would work wonderfully for MWPP, I think.

Mmmm, post-War!Harry/Draco in the style of the DT series ...

*wibbles* Oh my. How much do you think we'd have to pay him? ;P (Or do we know a fanfic writer who could pull it off?)

"Harry Potter. The enemy, of course, but an enemy for ten years now, and thus sort of a friend." Horribly paraphrasing, but you know what I mean. Mmrrrrrr. And oh, they'd do Draco's sarcasm so much justice. (Sarcasm = hot. It is.)

TB would work wonderfully for MWPP, I think.

If I had Marauders muses, I'd write it.

How much do you think we'd have to pay him?

D'you think offering him our young, nubile bodies would help?

Ahaha. *falls over* Okay, okay, I agree. Now how do we get THEM to write it? ("Many people, meeting Draco for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide.")

If I had Marauders muses, I'd write it.

*breeds muses and shoves them your way*

D'you think offering him our young, nubile bodies would help?

Hm. Certainly worth a try, innit?

(Wait, was it 'intelligent'? I'm too lazy to look up the proper quote.)

Re:

It is. I just looked it up on google. :)

Re:

Ahahahaha! PERFECT!

*breeds muses and shoves them your way*

Muses: *look around Melle's head, shrug, move out*

Hrm.


Certainly worth a try, innit?

Absolutely! We ought to send him a letter.
