I'm experiencing one of those periods where I'm sure I'll never finish another story EVER AGAIN, which I go through every so often, but this time it intersected with a meme I saw pop up on my flist, which I am going to try:

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble (100 words) of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. You're under no obligation to post this back to your LJ if you request something, as the rules have stated. Also, a prompt would be super-helpful in addition to the pairing/character request, if that's possible, since I've been feeling about as creative as a potted plant lately.

Warning part I: I only have access to my LJ and the e-mail account associated with it at night, and the stupid 'M' key is semi-busted on my laptop, so it might take me a bit to respond and get the drabbles written.

Warning part II: I've never written drabbles, so there's a good chance these will be horrible!

And now after that enticing marketing campaign, a list of fandoms I think I could write in, which is kind of a random hodgepodge of shows I've been watching lately and shows I have always loved and repeatedly offer for Yuletide but am never assigned:

30 Rock
American Dreams
Chuck
Fringe
Keen Eddie
The Mentalist
Newsradio
The Office (US)
Psych
Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles

In other news: there is no other news.

Hey there to you, too! Oh wow, getting this comment is like Christmas in August! Seriously, when I read it, I actually threw my hands up and yelled out, "OH MY GOD!" because I was so excited.

In other words: Yes, I am still interested.! In fact, I would LOVE it if you wrote a Broken Trail story! I've put that request in each of the three times I signed up for Yuletide, and I was planning to put it in again, because I'm still longing for more of the Sun/Tom love story. I've gone out hunting for Sun/Tom fic, too, and haven't found anything, either!

Thank you so much for this awesome comment! I can't seem to stop using exclamation points!

There was one person who had a Sun/Tom fanvid up on YouTube a couple years ago and she took it down before I could save it. Curses!

I totally understand the exclamation points problem when it comes to this fandom. Well, I hope I'll write something you'll enjoy. Best start work on it asap - the other option is to actually work here at the office. Blech.

ETA: Oh, I meant to ask if you've read the book of Broken Trail by Alan Geoffrion? The story ends differently from the movie. Sun goes to San Francisco, and there's more direct sexual interaction between Sun & Tom on the trail (not physical, but there's a scene where he watches her bathe in the river and she is aware of it). I read it after seeing the movie and shipped them even more!

A Sun/Tom fanvid?! I can't believe I missed it! I live in hope that they will re-post it eventually - I actually used to occasionally go to YouTube in the hopes that someone would put a video like that together!

I actually haven't read the Broken Trail book. I think I picked it up in the bookstore once and skipped to the end to see how it ended (terrible, terrible thing to do!) and was disappointed to see how the Sun/Tom story played out there, so I never picked it up. But hearing that there was more stuff going on over the course of the novel makes me rethink it - I might have to track it down!

Again, I can't tell you how totally thrilled I am at the prospect of this story! Yay!

Yeah, the ending of the book is so dissatisfying but despite all the other interactions, it's still a bit disappointing because the writing style is...simplistic to say the least. :-\ The movie REALLY improves on it because of Thomas Haden Church the ensemble cast.

But at least in the book Heck Gilpin lives (I think) whereas in the movie his chest gets blown open to kingdom come. Boo hiss.

I started the fic last night. I'm a slow writer & have been toying with different plots for a couple years, but I only discovered Yuletide a little while ago so I had no idea there was someone out there to motivate me to get my butt around to finally putting something on paper. So thanks! :D I truly hope to have it done relatively soon!
