Fic request meme time again

[rallamajoop]

For reasons probably best not questioned too deeply, whenever you go to the 'stats' part of ff.net's user panel, your (or at least *my*) fic are listed, by default, in reverse alphabetical order. Since this is the least of the inexplicable features of that site I probably shouldn't complain too much, however, seeing everything you've written listed (sort of) alphabetically does lead one to notice dumb little things like, "Oh hey, I've written a fic with a title starting with every letter except A, M, Q, U, Y and Z. Wouldn't it be neat to have covered the whole alphabet?"

Which leads me to one of the stranger sources of inspiration for a request meme I've ever had. The prompt will go as follows: Give me a fic title starting with any of the letters I've never used before (ie, A, M, Q, U, Y or Z) and a series/character/pairing, and I will attempt to come up with some sort of fic to go with it. You can always include more than one title or additional info about what the fic should contain in your prompt if you'd prefer, though only a title is strictly necessary.

Titles may have as many words as you like, just as long as they start with the right letter. For the sake of the argument, titles starting with the word 'The' shall be counted as starting with a T (otherwise, I've already written "The Magician", so M would be out of the running). A list of the series I've written for before may be found under my LJ memories. There are a fair few others under 'Misc' or which I've written crossovers for too, which should also be considered fair game.

Obviously, I'd like to wind up with one fic per letter, but if what I get is requests for three A's, two M's and a Y and I wind up writing for two M's and an A, it shall be no great surprise. As always, no promises any fic will result from any given prompt, but anyone's welcome to request. ^_^

I'll take the easy one, shall I?

"Zeitgeist"
Holic, Yuuko

...and now I'm going to have to go look up what that word means again. >.>

[cheloya.livejournal.com]

"Spirit of the age"! ^^

You might notice some thematic similarities here

[velithya]

Here are a whole bunch! Pick your favourite(s) :P

"Unkillable"
SolxKy

"Quandries of the Heart"
SolxKy

I tried to come up with some lame title like "You can't tame freedom" with a trashy romance summary but couldn't make myself actually make it a proper suggestion. Feel free to run with it if you want some crackfic, though :D

(Other crackfic titles: "You want me to what?" "Ah! My Sol!")

Ohhhh, shiny. :)

Hmmmm.

Ponder Stibbons, Quod Erat Demonstrandum ?

I am having such bad luck with interpreting these suggestions

[rallamajoop.livejournal.com]

...so, uh, what does that mean again? ^^;;;

You ask for strange letter, you get foreign stuff :p

'What was to be demonstrated'. ♥ I would not be adverse to him teaching something to Young Sam. Or trying to.

Thank you. Ooh, I *like* that idea. I wonder if I can do it justice... Clearly I will now have to go reread Discworld for inspiration. =3

Re: You ask for strange letter, you get foreign stuff :p

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

I have absolute confidence. Rereading Discworld is always a good thing. Making Money is coming out this week, isn't it? :3

...possibly it could involve him trying to explain advanced physics using cows No arguments there. Ooh, is it? But it probably won't have much Ponder or young Sam, so that might be cheating.

That's not my cow

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

That would be fantastic. The exact date differs according to the source, but I'm pretty sure it's coming in the next five days. I don't have much hope for Young Sam, but maybe some Ponder?

Misenthrope.

hummm... You can tell which series I read.

[raging-tofu.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Interesting request. I prose this challenge-

"Under a Sun-lit Sky" (or would it be "Sunlit"?)
SolxKy, and think of it as a sequel to my UMN (see the connection? :D)

This all is from the email I got from you and your review. While I think we are in agreement with the general protrayls of these two, we also differ on a few things. So if you want, take this up (please hold off until I am done with UMN though ^^;) I'm only suggesting this becuase I know it's a pairing that you will write for, and it's something you do a good job with but also becuase I'm fairly certain you like what I've weaved in UMN so, why not? If at all else, think of it as something fun.

Of course, I'm not forcing you to do this; just if you want to. ^_~


And yes, I would like that list of Order divisions if you can provide it.

[rallamajoop.livejournal.com]

Well, guess I'll see if anything sequel-worthy bites me. Though of course you will have to finish it first. ^_~

I should probably see if I can get enough of my translations from the guidebook into order to be worth making a general post about (more satisfaction in having your facts straight if others know them too). There's some other stuff about the war and how promotion worked and such which was also sorta interesting.

lol already been requested but, I'll go with a nice cheesy title:

"You're My Best Friend" SolKy, of course. Queen song titles, lol.
