I Take A Fence.

[rionaleonhart]

I have suddenly been hit by writer's block so severe that it extends to journal entries. I don't suppose there's a 'WRITE A LIVEJOURNAL ENTRY FOR ME' meme, is there? 'PARODY MY JOURNAL-WRITING STYLE'? No? I'll probably be better off not knowing what I sound like to other people, anyway.

Anyway! I am going to do what I always do when I'm struck with horrific writer's block: I am going to post that one-sentence fic meme. Again. This is a meme that shows up on my journal about once a quarter, because I am madly in love with it. I'd poll to find out whether my repeated posting of it annoys everyone, but then you'd all say 'yes' and I'd probably carry on anyway.

Give me a character (or multiple characters, or a pairing, or a theory, or a ridiculous AU, or anything you like, really) from a fandom (er, preferably one that I'm familiar with. If you don't know whether I know a fandom or not, feel free to ask. Crossovers are absolutely fine), and a theme to go with it (by 'a theme' I mean anything that will give me some idea of where I'm going - be as vague or as specific as you want to be), and I'll write you a one-sentence fic. You may make as many requests as you like; I may answer as many as I feel capable of.

(I do intend to write a snippet for everyone who requested on the 'things I'd never write' meme; it's been incredibly fun so far, and I've had excuses to cross Top Gear over with Life on Mars, Sherlock Holmes and Torchwood, all of which I enjoyed very much. However, I think that one-sentence fics are the limit of what my present state will allow, and draegonhawke has requested something bloody impossible and then rubbed my face in it by writing it herself and forbidding me from reading it until I've written mine. YOU ARE HEARTLESS, MAGI.)

Your request may not involve the Eurovision Song Contest in any way. Even though we all know that the Top Gear house band would be much better than the UK's atrocious offering this year. ALSO UM ISRAEL WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Yes, I admit, I'm watching the semi-finals. (Ooh, I quite like Cyprus. It's ridiculous, but that's the point, and it's also worryingly catchy.)

Okay, here's a prompt. Choose anything you want.

Stop! In the name of love.

[rionaleonhart]

"Well, surely, if it's in the name of love we should carry on," James pointed out, not moving his hand from Richard's shoulder, and Jeremy spluttered ineffectually for a moment before managing to say, "Well, at least let me join in!"

[anazri.livejournal.com]

I get LJ-block sometimes, too. It's annoying. And YAY EUROVISION. Though WTF. There are people with plastic faces. And Mr Belarus has had his teeth whitened.

Hmmm - something to do with HARD! ROCK! HALLELUUUUJAH! dancing, and James May?

[rionaleonhart]

"If you ask me to dance, I'll stab you," Richard had said, but, James thinks, amused, it has taken a surprisingly small amount of alcohol for him to change his tune; the mockery from Jeremy will be unendurable, but for now he plans to enjoy himself.

[dorcas-gustine.livejournal.com]

I'm actually kind of terrified to ask anything, because I know that no matter whatever I come up with, you'd be able to write it.

Um.

Gene Hunt. Teetotal.

:-D

[rionaleonhart]

On the third day, Gene came into the office, immediately punched him in the face for no apparent reason and shouted at everyone for five minutes, and Sam decided that it would probably be best if he called the bet off.

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

AS MANY REQUESTS AS I WANT, EH?

Top Gear: short shorts, slinky, mods and rockers, sunburn, avalanche, presence, notepad, gentleman, urban, descent, piano, level, envelope, camera, and.......thesaurus ;DDD

As many or as few as you have the inspiration for!

since i've given you so many, if you wish to throw any my way, this is only fair!

[rionaleonhart]

short shorts:

Jeremy laughed so hard when he saw James' new shorts that he was rendered completely incapable of coherent speech, which had, of course, been James' plan all along.


avalanche:

"We didn't do that, did we?" Richard asked nervously, as they watched the entire side of the mountain collapse, and James sighed internally at the thought that this would only keep the other two from turbo-charging snowmobiles for three months at the most.


More may follow! Or they may not! OH, THE SUSPENSE.

[serriadh.livejournal.com]

Jeremy/James, homo superior, which is a line from Bowie's You Pretty Things ;)

[rionaleonhart]

"Jeremy," James said, patiently, "when he says 'homo superior', he doesn't mean--" but, as it happened, Jeremy had just been distracting James with his own pedantry so that he would be caught off-balance when Jeremy kissed him, which he did thoroughly and with enthusiasm.

[strangeumbrella.livejournal.com]

Life On Mars; Sam; bad dream. Or, in fact, good dream. I'm easy.

[rionaleonhart]

He wakes up sweating and shaking and not knowing why, and it's not until he's at the station and talking to Annie that he realises he had been dreaming about finally getting back to the real world.

[littlemoose.livejournal.com]

James/Richard 'bubblegum-pop'

:D

[rionaleonhart]

'bubblegum-pop'

...MY TOTAL LACK OF MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE BETRAYS ME. That's a sort of music, right?

[wolfenkahlon.livejournal.com]

An opportunity for one sentence fic?

Vampires, martial arts, evil overlords. in any fandom you like.

[rionaleonhart]

Er, all three at once?


When Lord Clarkson saw who had been sent to defeat him, he burst out laughing - "You're the people who are supposed to overthrow me? A vampire with stupidly white teeth and the world's slowest ninja?" - and somehow, inexplicably, the three of them managed to become the best of friends in the ensuing battle.

[draegonhawke.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry! (Though, in all honesty, it was more a "I SEE A CRAZY FICWRITING PROMPT ON TEH INTARWEBS AND I MUST WRITE IT OH NOES" response than a "I so clevr, nyah nyah :P!" response. This is why I must be very careful with my crackfic prompts--they have a fairly high incidence of turning on me. (And you can't read the associated materials because I want to see one not influenced by me. I want Rionafic!)

Re: 1-sentence fic meme, er. Give me something involving Sam Tyler and an Alsatian which is in no way creepy. I NEED THIS

[rionaleonhart]

"Right," Gene said, "we need a trainer, and women like you, so you'll probably be good with dogs"; Sam was about to question his logic, but then the Alsatian bounded over to him and licked his hand, and he laughed and decided to give it a try.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

I am oddly sad that I missed the semi-finals, but I had seen clips anyway and I plan on downloading it so I can see Switzerland and its crazy mad vampire song.

Life On Mars. Prompt: EUROVISION SONG CONTEST.

Top Gear. Prompt: EUROVISION SONG CONTEST.

Also, I find it highly unfair that the UK sends the worst pop group in the history of EVER and the Netherlands who sends someone who can sing doesn't get through. IT'S ALL BECAUSE YOU PAY THE EUROVISION FOLK OFF, ISN'T IT. I bet Britain sends crap bands on purpose to rub it in.

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

Also: Jeremy attempts to write chicklit OR Mills and Boon romantic drivel.

[thebaconfat.livejournal.com]

Holmes and Watson! Close call!

[rionaleonhart]

"It was most fortunate that you brought your revolver, Watson," Holmes said, returning the hastily-appropriated gun to me; "those creatures certainly seemed to wish us ill", and I found myself quite alarmed for my companion's mental well-being, for I had seen nothing.

[emmarrrrr.livejournal.com]

OMG. Butbutbut. EUROVISION.

I was going to watch the semi-finals, but decided it wouldn't be as exciting. I also love how England can do really shitily and still go through. Because we give them like, 33% of the funds to run it?

Scooch is addictive and catchy and GOD I HATE IT.

[emmarrrrr.livejournal.com]

In other news.

Um.

Richard/Jeremy, a random david bowie song and a sparkly cape.
Sam/Gene, Sam trying to get Gene to stop smoking/drinking (and Gene having rather violent withdrawl symptoms).

[echogarrote.livejournal.com]

A glimse into Silent Hill's version of Godspell.

Barring that if you don't know the play, Angela and Walter Sullivan in a love duet. Baring THAT Ben and Jordan find out that they are related to a certain serial killer. And if that doesn't work...House and Cox doing Annie Get Your Gun's 'Anything You Can Do.'

[emmarrrrr.livejournal.com]

Oh, God. House and Cox. The world would implode.

I might have to write that, now. Damn you.

[darthfi.livejournal.com]

Jeremy Clarkson/Gene Hunt. In a caravan.

[culf.livejournal.com]

Top Gear The Force (as in, the Force from Star Wars). It has to be James that acquires is, as the other two would go to the dark side in less than 12 parsecs. *is in no way a nerd*

[nano_moose]

House. (I've only seen season one and some of season two, but I like what's happened so far very much.) Prompt: "That was so not my fault."

Scrubs. Prompt: One can only pray that this does not become a habit.

The Jak series: Anything that doesn't demonize Keira. I mean good god, fandom!

[rionaleonhart]

Keira couldn't help feeling that she deserved a little recognition after the world had been saved yet again; after all, who did Jak think had designed all the desert vehicles that had helped him do it?

[m31andy.livejournal.com]

Because (for various reasons) I'm all about the incest at the moment - Vic Tyler/Sam Tyler.

[darthfi.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're all about the incest, are you?

*raises eyebrow*

[idan-cohen.livejournal.com]

ARE YOU SURE YOU DO NOT WANT ME TO PARODY AN LJ ENTRY OF YOURS

Certain fandom dudes are so totally gay

YES

(Also, Israel actually sent a band this time. Do not mind their absolute sillyness; they are just playing around.

d-did we win?)

[rionaleonhart]

LIES. ALSO, YOUR BRITISH ACCENT IS UNCONVINCING.

(I didn't watch all of the semi-final, but a quick search reveals that, alas, you didn't get through. Your entry definitely deserved to be in the final more than the UK's does, because ours is bloody awful. I think we really are just laughing at the countries who actually have to work to get into the final.)

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Jezza, shaving.

[newbie1990.livejournal.com]

Top Gear/Scrubs - While Dr. Cox is off, JD finds a substitute in the form of English car show presenters. (This could also apply to Life On Mars... I very much fail at prompts.)
Jeremy Clarkson writes fanfiction.
Richard/Jeremy-illness (mainly because I am ill and people must suffer with me).
OT3-watching Life On Mars
(There are probably other prompts, but I cannot think of any at this precise moment.)

I REMEMBER SCOOCH WHEN THEY HAD A QUASI-CAREER OF SORTS! ...This is a bad thing.

[rionaleonhart]

Jeremy Clarkson writes fanfiction.

"Jeremy," James said, scrolling down and wincing as a particularly explicit description caught his eye, "these three characters seem, er, terribly familiar"; Jeremy just smiled, not entirely innocently.


Richard/Jeremy-illness

"What sort of partner are - you're supposed to nurse me back to health!" Jeremy bellowed indignantly, and Richard, laughing, sauntered out of the room.

[cryforthemoon.livejournal.com]

"Today I thought up another insane crossover with James May and the Terminator having wild and crazy adventures. I am also rather a nice person." *hides*

Tell you what, do that for a sentence and I'll be happy.
