An Open Invitation

[moragmacpherson]

So, yeah... this is the week that I get to take a trip downstate and go lie down in the machine that goes "wub-wub-wub" (only slightly less expensive than the machine that goes "ping") and find out if I've got a short-term or a long-term issue to deal with (fortunately, so far it appears unlikely that it will turn out to be a condition that makes my long-term any shorter, so yay for that).  I'm less than happy about this, but hey, better to rip it off like a band-aid, right?  Anyway, I'm trying to shake myself out of the self-indulgent and obsessive funk that I've been in for the last two weeks or so, and what better way to do that than to make a self-indulgent, obsessive request?  (This is how homeopathy works, or so I've been told)

Here's the deal: there's been some wank lately about people writing fanfic about other people's fanfic.  And I say: to hell with that.  I'd love to see someone interrogate my text from a different perspective.  So, as a cheer-up request, invitation, what-have-you, I'm opening up my sandboxes to anyone who wants to play: be they remixes, sequels, missing-scenes, vignettes, meta-commentary, what-ever-crazy-fan-thing-it-is-you-do.  I think fish_echo and others better versed in meta would say that the blanket term is "transformative works," or I may be abusing that term entirely.  All I ask is for you to send me a link to see it so that I can ooh and awe or potentially tilt my head at it appropriately ('Dean slashed with the tentacled demon from the UU courtyard?  Oh, and look, the author included helpful diagrams.').  For those of you looking at this on a friends page, there's a link to my Master Fic list at the bottom of this post.

So, please, go nuts.  Make me giggle, make me wish I had thought of that, for the love of God, give me something else to read besides the emedicine articles on de-myelinating diseases because they're depressing as all hell.  And, for the record, this is my official policy on transformative works from here on in.  All's fair.

I can only offer you a new J² story I'm going to post later today. It's R for language and nothing else. And not very exciting. Just something that kinda typed itself into a word document because the insomniac in me needed something to do.

Woot! That works too!

Huh, didn't realize you like slash... hmm, so what fandoms/pairings do you read that's not listed in your masterlist - curious minds

Also sends massive luv & goodness your way~~

The support is much appreciated - and yeah, I do enjoy the occasional spot of slash, even if I haven't gotten around to writing any - I also read plenty of NC-17 fic, even though I never seem to write any ratings higher than PG-13. The joke in the post is that tentacles and body-mods in general tend to squick me the hell out (the population of my list of utter squicks (i.e., no matter how hard I try to give it a chance, the back button is gonna get hit) is getting frighteningly low: beastiality and body-mods are the two major hold-outs. I even found NC-17 RPS that was well written enough I made it through the other day (albeit, I still get a little freaked out with explicit RPS that isn't AU)) But the point of the joke is that this invitation doesn't require people to abide by my squicks or kinks or pairing-preferences - I'd be happy with *anything*.

I'm open to most pairings, though I rarely enjoy Dean/Castiel for whatever reason. The only fandom where I have a OTP is in Eureka, where I'm annoyed anytime that Jack and Allison don't wind up together, which is why I'm not really looking forward to the next season. If you have a particular pairing you're thinking of, you can run it by me and see if it gets a "yeeeughh" or an "ooooh" if you'd like.

Oh, and under the "major squicks" list, I can't believe I forgot mpreg - I think in my head it falls under the body mod category. YSINMS, but I've yet to read the mpreg fic that didn't make me back button. No, wait, I lie. But it involved Jack Harkness and didn't get to the magic ass-baby stage, which made it less upsetting somehow.

**rubs hands in gleeful antici... oh, shit, I used that joke on you last week, damn. Oh, wait ...pation.** Good, there we go. Can't wait to see it. =)

Or maybe... Just maybe.... Another few chapters of that thing with Buffy, Ten and Kennedy that we started a long time back?

Oooh, you mean the wibbly-wobbly Impossible Things sequel? I would so love to see that finished.
