The Aerodynamic Properties of Elton John.

Creative writing may improve doctors' bedside manner, apparently.

Oh, I want Cuddy to force House to attend a creative writing course. It could be amazing.

Right. At the moment there's a meme going around: something along the lines of 'comment with the name of a fandom I'm aware of and I'll tell you the relationships I'm interested in in that fandom'. Now, this is all well and good, but I'd probably have to talk about why I'm interested in each relationship, and then I'd talk about the relationships I'm not interested in and why they don't appeal to me, and then I'd drift off into crossover-land and be lost forever. I mean, if you said 'tell me all the relationships you're interested in from Doctor Who!' I would spend years going 'Oh, yes, and Captain Jack Harkness/JD, and Jack/Chase, and Jack/Sam Tyler, and Jack Harkness/Jack Sparrow, and Jack/James Sunderland, and Jack/Squall/Rinoa, and Harkness/Hammond/Clarkson/May...'

Therefore, what I am going to do instead is repost a meme I did about a year ago (although not as about a year ago as I thought when I glanced at the date on the entry. WHY PUT THE MONTH BEFORE THE DAY? YOUR COUNTRY IS SILLY), when I had rather fewer fandoms than I do now:

1. Comment with any pairing (or character, or threesome, or platonic relationship, or theory, or random concept ('WHAT IF THE TOP GEAR TRIO BECAME CARS?'). Multiple suggestions are welcomed) from a fandom (or fandoms: crossovers are - of course! - fine) that you know I like, or at least have some knowledge about.
2. I will ramble for about 100 words (I may [read: probably will] go over a bit) about the aforementioned relationship/character/theory. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on what it is. (I can't actually think of a pairing that would result in exclamations of disgust. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A CHALLENGE.) If the theory/relationship is sufficiently intriguing or ridiculous, you may also get random snippets of fic as I try to work it out.
3. Put this on your LJ, if you are so inclined.

(Torchwood starts tomorrow! I can't decide whether to be excited or terrified.)

Torn/Pecker.

Explain yourself.

If not (or even possibly as well!): Theorise on why the goddamn hell Jak's Uncle lives in Sandover Village despite li'l Jak being born in Haven or what the heck happened to everybody's mothers. You're not allowed to cop out and say it's because Naughty Dog is lazy. Even if that is the most likely explanation.

Explain yourself.

I CAN'T

Look, um, this really is something that I just can't excuse. I was thinking 'okay, I started with Torn/Jak, and then wrote Daxter/Jak, and then went to Dark Jak/Jak... so, if the Jak pairings I'm writing are getting progressively weirder and weirder, what might I write next?'

'Something involving Pecker, probably,' my mind responded. 'Torn/Pecker. Why not?'

'Well, that's, er, a nicely ridiculous idea, but obviously I would never actually write it,' I said, opening Word.

I just - can't say anything about Torn/Pecker. It was just a completely random, ridiculous pairing, and I think my main aim in actually writing it was to see whether I could actually take an utterly nonsensical pairing and write it with a straight face, so to speak. And, er, I managed it. Sort of. There was nothing overt, but I still managed to write an entire Torn/Pecker fic in a fairly serious way.

So, how would those two actually interact? I think that they would probably despise each other. Pecker would mock Torn's tattoos, Torn would threaten to pluck him, and then they would never speak again. TRUE LOVE.

Well, the thing is, Jak's Uncle is not actually related to Jak in any way. He is a man without family connections who just happens to have the slightly unfortunate name of Jak's Uncle. This was fine when there was nobody called Jak in Sandover, but Samos, to Jak's Uncle's intense irritation, named the young Mar 'Jak' as a joke.

Despite the lack of an actual connection between the two, Jak's Uncle took to appealing to Jak by actually referring to himself as his uncle when he wanted something, hence "would you be kind enough to loan your dear old uncle ninety Precursor orbs?"

Keira is actually everyone's mother. Don't say anything to her; she's quite selfconscious about it.

You are fabulous. Samos would totally do that, too.

So she really is a dirty h0r!111!!! I knew the fandom had to be right about something.

(I quite like Keira, actually. So, does this mean Jak's dating his mother? And Keira is her own mother? And Krew and Samos and the Baron -

...I'm going to brake this train of thought before the incest turns my brain inside out.)
