Flist, I am at loose ends. Help me choose what to do with my evening by voting in this poll!

I voted for several things, but one of them was "write some other kind of fiction/fan fiction" ...and because I am dreadfully selfish and will soon be able to read BSG fic (!!!) I would love to see what you would do with that.

*Coughs* Happy fic preferred, of course. Perhaps Roslin/Adama? ♥

Oh, man. I haven't watched the show since the finale aired a year and a half ago; I'm not entirely sure how I'd manage it. Though I might be able to do something AU, and really short and vague...

I may be biased about one of these options. :)

[icepixie]

Mwahaha. Almost done!

Your fake TV show needs to be a real TV show.

Also, write some Fraser/Thatcher?

I would like my fake TV show to be a real TV show so I could watch it and write fic about it.

Also, write some Fraser/Thatcher?

Oooh.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Oooh.

DOO EEET.

Go here (http://writingenglish.wordpress.com/2006/09/12/the-25-funniest-analogies-collected-by-high-school-english-teachers/) and pick the metaphor that you like best (or the one that inspires you the most, whatever), reword it a bit, and use it in a fan fiction for the fandom of your choice (I personally vote Castle or Due South - the first because I miss the banter, and the second because I could almost hear Ray K saying a few of them in my head). Bonus if you can get an Amelia Peabody ref in there somewhere. ;)

Then, of course, post it somewhere I can read it. :D

Ahaha, I like the trains one. Although I'm not sure the world needs a third Fraser/Thatcher story about trains from me.

I was torn between the train one and the solar eclipse/pin-hole camera one myself. :D

Oh, man, I don't know you, but thank you for posting that link. Because this:

11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.

just happened to me recently. Right down to the times. Jeopardy's on at 7:00 where I am now and 7:30 where I came from, and it is indeed really eerie to me. :)

Hee! I never watch Jeopardy, so I've never experienced this particular brand if eerie. I did, however, move from Wisconsin to Washington State about 8 months ago - CST to PST, and *everything* comes on an hour later now. The local news is what took me the longest to get used to; after twenty-five years of "... all of that coming up on News at 10", having it suddenly at 11 just messed with my head.
