The Top Gear Trio Stayed In Their Own Universe. It Was Nice.

[rionaleonhart]

Today, I was writing Top Gear werewolf-fic and fanfiction about the Top Gear trio meeting members of Torchwood in a Cardiff that had turned into Silent Hill before the Doctor turned up and whisked them away to find Sherlock Holmes, unintentionally catapulting Sam Tyler and the Real Hustle trio into 1973 in the process, and I realised, rather to my distress, that I seem to be completely incapable nowadays of writing anything that isn't crackfic.

As some other people on my friendslist also seem to have been feeling a bit of a crack overload of late, this seems like an appropriate time to offer: would you like to request a non-crack drabble? Something a bit more specific than just a character or a pairing would be appreciated, as I am completely incapable of coming up with ideas on my own.

(Of course, I'll probably be back to posting entries about KATAMARI MADE OUT OF PYRAMID HEADS before long, but I'd just like to take a moment to reassure myself that I can write things that are relatively sane.)

SAME PROBLEM HERE BUT THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM (for me at least). I recently wrote about David Mitchell turning into a rabbit. Why write sane things when you can make people laugh?

A prompt for something non-cracky?

Er.

*has a think*

Jeremy/Richard and unfortunate incidents involving cooking appliances.

Could you write about Jack/Ianto's first proper date for me?

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Jeremy agreeing to kiss whoever wins some race or challenge (like that race on one of his car videos where he wound up having to kiss the Stig's helmet), as a joke.

Jame or Richard (your choice) wins.

AND, AND, AND...

Jeremy Clarkson and Oz Clark. Drinking far too much and talking about James. Oscillation ensues.

I would request something Boosh-y, but you would probably make a distressed face at me ):

[emmarrrrr.livejournal.com]

Um.

The Doctor and the Master are living together in the tardis post-s3. angst ensues?

or

time-travelling sky-pirates in any way shape or form

there is such a thing as a non-crack crossover, i swear!

Richard worring he's not smart enough for James.

I wanted to ask for TW but couldn't think of anything that wasn't crack

[thebaconfat.livejournal.com]

Omg!

I would absolutely love some Balthier and Fran sky-pirating OR hanging out at The Sandsea OR crashing and/or fixing the Strahl.

OR some nonspoilery Sam/Gene hatesex crime-fighting, possibly involving a stakeout or being in disguise or sharing a hotel room?

Jeremy mocks James. I AM SPECIFIC. Oh, idk. Drabble in which James is James-ish and lovely and ignores Jeremy's intense mockery AS HE DOES.

Or James-comes-out-of-the-closet.

Or Jeremy has EVIL EVIL PLANS about threesomes.

OR Jeremy comes out of the closet. I REALLY WANT THIS. I am pretty sure that I have never seen it done before.

Or GEN. The first prompt is probably gen. INSIDE JEREMY CLARKSON'S MIND.

/too many prompts argh what

I would request other fandoms (JD/Cox - Cox mocks JD pointlessly for a bit, INSIDE ELLIOT REID'S MIND, Oz Clarke as Star In A Reasonably Priced Car, the Master being awesome, etc.) BUT there are too many already.

Lesse, normal, normal...
But a motoring journalist having sex with his car while an undead newspaper editor watches is normal for Top Gear!

How about...
Holmes and Watson, an hour before Watson's wedding?
Withnail and I, trying to buy fish 'n chips from a toy shop?
A small blue plastic frog, and its unrequited love for its green counterpart?
Foreman and Wilson, discussing the new ducklings?

I'm sort of confused about the boundaries of 'crack'. Is carsex crack? I certainly don't think so, especially since I tend to think crack means 'not canon' and carsex clearly is canon. What about crossovers with people who have legitimate chance of being a Star in a etc.? Or have no chance but would still be amusing? Is Silent Hill crack? I mean, it's so illogical it's practically crack for Sunderland, and it might just be an exercise in characterisation! ARGH.

Write something in-character as Jeremy. Trying to do the sofa Hundai administration challenge, but not in song format (unless you're feeling really inspired).

Three ways Fran could have first met Balthier!
