Request a list here.



ctorres asked for five stories I'll never write, which I'm taking to mean my favorite five woefully abandoned plot-bunnies, or the top five stories I'll never finish:
1. [SG-1] The epic, series-spanning Jack/Maybourne, Jack/Daniel fic where Jack was totally straight really except he had sex with Maybourne a lot, but he really had feelings for Daniel but Daniel was complicated and Maybourne, not so much, only he did have feelings for Maybourne and... The reason I won't write it: My interest lies elsewhere these days.
2. [Atlantis] Same story, only it's McKay, who's in love with Weir and also with Sheppard and it's from Weir's point of view and she doesn't get why McKay's chosen Sheppard over her and that it's because it's less difficult/complicated and he does love Sheppard. I'm never writing this one because I can't write the McShep, but I kind of want to resolve the love triangle against my OTP to stretch myself.
3. [Atlantis] The long, intense, series-spanning story where McKay gradually becomes human enough to be in a relationship with Weir. I'll never write this one because I have no patience.
4. [Angel] The sequel to Shanshu Summer, which would be a plotty and fluffy road trip AU where Wes, Cordy, and Angel escape from L.A. and battle their demons elsewhere and eventually Angel earns his Shanshu and they all have sex. Why I won't write it: Did you read the part where I said "plotty and fluffy"? Have you read my stuff lately? Yeah. That thing.
5. [Firefly] "Showboat: the Pincushion Remix" that's the plot of Showboat tossed into Firefly, with Kaylee/Inara and River symbolizes a gambling addiction! When I saw Showboat this was the first thing I thought of, but I'll never write it because my interests lie elsewhere these days, and it demands to be long.

venusinrapture asked for five things I've done in the last five minutes:
1. Done that five things list up there.
2. Looked at my memories to find "Shanshu Summer"
3. Rekindled my interest in abandoned plotbunnies.
4. Started breathing normally again after the bike ride from hell.
5. OCDly checked my email.

And five things I want to do in the next five minutes:
1. More fun five-things lists.
2. OCDly check my email.
3. Get something to eat.
4. Be instantly transported into the West Wing 'verse where CJ Cregg would be more than happy to ravish me senseless.
5. Keep breathing.

wistful_fever wanted five reasons I'd climb a tree.
I'd climb a tree if...
1. It was there.
2. It looked especially climbable, with branches in all the right places.
3. It looked especially challenging, with the starter branch just a few inches too high so I'd have to swing myself up somehow.
4. It had been awhile since I'd climbed a tree and I was feeling the craving.
5. My little sister and dad were doing something else that seemed boring and looked like it'd be awhile.

inlovewithnight wanted top five snacks for TV viewing.
1. Frozen strawberries.
2. Oranges.
3. Grapefruit.
4. Dry cereal, especially granola.
5. Ice cream.

wildtiger7 wanted the top five reasons for a one-night stand.
1. Allison Janney.
2. Claudia Black.
3. Eliza Dushku.
4. Alexis Denisof.
5. Lisa Edelstein.

echo_of_my_soul wanted top five BSC books.
[not counting CA Diaries, because they'd dominate the list]
1. Portrait Collection: Mary Anne's Book
2. Regular series #30(?) Mary Anne and the Great Romance. I'm so excited about rereading this I've been saving it all summer.
3. The Great Big Book of BSC Canon.
4. Regular series #4 Mary Anne Saves the Day. First one I read, love at first sight stepsis OTP, jealousy, Jenny P, and Mary Anne in pigtails. What is not to love?
5. Mystery series #5(?) Mary Anne Discovers The Truth About Her Past.

Any guesses as to my favorite character? Anyone?

And also for Bri, top five Tara 'ships:
1. Tara/Fred
2. Tara/Willow
3. Tara/Giles
4. Tara/Kaylee
5. Tara/CJ

alixtii wanted the top five Jossverse fics even I would never write. This is clearly a trick question, because as soon as I start listing them I'll think, "Oooh, actually, if I set it then and changed that, maybe it could work!" But here are five things I'm reasonably sure I won't be writing any time soon:

1. Any Summerscest. Tamcest yes; Angel/Connor maybe, Summerscest, not so much.
2. Any threesome involving three guys and no girls. I just... really can't do that, not in any fandom. (Technically I have written it; one of the 'Lantis weddingfics on demand was a m/m/m threesome, but that just went to show me that it strains my credulity.)
3. Flat-out rape fic where the perp is not one of the Fanged Four or similarly soulless. Twisty semi-con, yes, rape, not so much.
4. Fic where Kaylee gets hurt without comfort. I feel very strongly about this!
5. Fic where either Zoe or Wash is unfaithful to the other.
