RIONA'S STUPIDEST ACTIONS OF 2005 (subject to change until the first of January, 2006):
3. Running out of time on her Poetry exam, panicking and hastily scribbling down 'In conclusion, it appears that only birds have true hope' at the end of her essay on Shelley's To A Skylark and Hardy's The Darkling Thrush.
2. Signing up for
fanfic100.
1. Signing up for
fanfic100... again.
So, uh. I don't know whether my second claim will be accepted, but I may as well get some fic written for it just in case it is (read: I've been obsessively scribbling in my many notebooks for a week now and already have ten of them done).
So! This is a post asking for fic requests - as many as you like, please note that the quality, length and actual getting-writtenness of the results is entirely up to me - for either of the following:
- James Sunderland of Silent Hill 2.
- That Macbeth adaptation I keep going on about. (If you haven't seen it, you could request something from the original play and I'll try to work out what the adaptational equivalent would be.)
YES. I'VE APPLIED TO WRITE ONE HUNDRED FICS FOR A NINETY-MINUTE MACBETH ADAPTATION. STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT.
I'm sure that all two hundred fics will be extremely cheerful, given that one set is about a man who went insane and killed a bunch of people and the other is about James Sunderland.
In your requests - in theory - you can request whatever you like, so long as it falls into one of the two claims. But please note that, should you ask me to write Macbeth/James/Pyramid Head/Banquo/Lady Macbeth/Eddie, I'm not going to speak to you any more.

...yeah, like I know anything about this adaptation.
no subject
(I feel inexplicably guilty for writing Macbeth without capitalising the B, but that was how I studied it and that's how it's written in my personal copy and LEAVE ME ALONE *runs away sobbing*.)
Anyway! I'll see what I can do. This challenge sounds like it has the potential to be rather fun. HOORAY FOR
PAIRINGPARING KNIVES AND LUNATICS AND COMBINATIONS OF THE TWO.no subject
He has always loved using paring knives. There is a real satisfaction in being able to cut so cleanly, so precisely; it is something that so few people seem to truly appreciate. Sometimes he will prepare huge and entirely unnecessary dishes just for the joy of it, the opportunity to use the knives.
Billy has never quite understood his fascination with them. Whenever he begins to wax poetic about the wonder of paring knives (heh, I used to chop up everything I could get my hands on when I was a kid, drove my parents mad... anyway, y’see, anyone can look at a knife, and – well, yeah, the looks are important, but the really important thing is how it cuts, you have to keep it sharp, you have to use it properly – but you’ve got to respect the knife, you can’t think that you’re using it, you’ve got to know that the knife is allowing you to use it, y’know? – so you hold it like this –), Billy will shake his head and laugh, mock-nervously, and say Sometimes you worry me, Joe.
As he stares down at the bloodstained blade, he wonders what Billy would say if he could see him now.

Billy would sidle away, if he had half the sense of a bell pepper! ...but it's derived from Shakespeare. Of course he doesn't.
zomg macbeth/banquo!
- Joe and Billy in chef school, or working together 17 hours a day in some crappy restaurant when they were younger, because they so clearly did.
-And they also shared a flat. Which only had one mattress. Upon which they had much UST.
- Either Joe's or Billy's wedding. Or both. They happened, right?
- Billy watching Joe. And not getting it.
- Joe being eager and keen and endearing.
- Joe meeting Lady M and/ or Billy and/ or Duncan for the first time.
- Lady M and Duncan actually going through with their weird half- flirtation.
- The AU where Macbeth gets away with it. Because he is James MacAvoy who is too pretty to die.
- Post- rush in the restaurant. Everyone's gone; it's just Joe and Billy and a whirring fan. (I have this image in my head- they're just leaning against opposite walls, lazily smiling, and knowing they just had a killer night.)
Have I been thinking about this too much? no no i have not at all! and because you are v. speshul for spreading the Macbeth joy.
Re: zomg macbeth/banquo!
Right! I'll try to get all of these written at some point! FOR NOW HAVE THE MEETING BILLY FOR THE FIRST TIME ONE. WHICH REALLY ISN'T MUCH OF A MEETING, AND WILL ALSO TOTALLY CONTRADICT THE FIRST-OF-YOUR-PROMPTS ONE THAT I WILL WRITE LATER. BUT WHO CARES?
Also I promise that these will get better later. Really.
Joe was so engrossed in his cooking that he didn't notice, at first, that Duncan had entered the kitchen. When Duncan cleared his throat and said, "Gather 'round, boys," he barely glanced up - and then did a quick double-take upon realising that he had company, before turning the heat down and coming around the counter.
"You said that you needed help, Joe," Duncan was saying, beaming, "and I've found just the lad for the job. This is Billy Banquo. I'm relying on you to show him the ropes." He put his arm around the newcomer's shoulders, gave him an affectionate shake. Joe caught his eye and grinned apologetically. "Just treat him as you would treat me, all right?"
A few weeks later, as Joe lay on his bed with Billy sprawled across him and snoring slightly, he reflected that this was probably not exactly how he would treat Duncan, but at least Billy didn't seem to mind.
Re: zomg macbeth/banquo!
Because YES THIS HAPPENED and they LIKED it! (who cares about continuity anyway yes exactly. the more ways they interact the better)
