neveralarchI should be asleep, etc etc, but I've been working on Yuletide fic and homework and the weekend is coming up and I need something to keep me moving and not get stuck. So! Meme.
This is from LJ and then tumblr and I have no idea where it originated, sorry.
Pick a trope from this list and provide a fandom/pairing and I’ll tell you something about the story I’d write for that combination (i.e. write a snippet from the story or write not!fic or tell you the title and summary for the story I would write)
1. genderswap
2. bodyswap
3. drunk!fic
4. huddling for warmth
5. pretending to be married
6. secretly a virgin
7. amnesia
8. cross-dressing
9. forced to share a bed
10. truth or dare
11. historical AU
12. accidental-baby-acquisition
13. apocalypse fic
14. telepathy
15. High School / College AU
Anything I write will be solidly not!fic, probably, but feel free to give me whatever fandom. You can see the ones I've written on AO3, and I am also happy to write Skyfall Bond and any other fandoms you think I might know.

Date: 2012-12-02 10:51 pm (UTC)At first I was kind of like 'high school AU, what do I do with a high school AU,' and then I realized that I am about ten times more invested in Hornblower's life if he's an awkward teenager, so. And I also remembered that Lieutenant Hornblower is totally my favorite Hornblower book.
I think you're right about Hornblower's ALLCAPS and normal type thoughts - my thoughts about HUMAN EMOTIONS are generally in all-caps too...
And I'm excited to read your fic! I just saw the post, so maybe in a bit I will stop trying to write papers and enjoy fanfiction instead.

Date: 2012-12-02 11:14 pm (UTC)i love him very much, because of his horrible fail. that's not to say i'd want to be married to or even in love with him, but he is such a falliable character and yet so good. i think that is excellent. (this is just some thoughts about hornblower, now. not related to the high school thing).
i love hornblower playing video games with bush's sisters WHO ALL KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM, though. i love that the most.
this bush icon has seen a lot of use today...

Date: 2012-12-03 03:49 am (UTC)I really like Hornblower as a character - I'm consistently impressed by Forrester's writing and the humanity that he gives to Hornblower despite Hornblower being, on the face of it, your typical good-at-everything action hero. I just also want to shake Hornblower until he stops being a dick. (But this is an urge that I get toward a lot of real human beings, so this is just another testament to Forrester's writing ability.)
