Just got a call from work:

[butterfly]

Well, from my manager. I may or may not be working today - depending on whether or not she can get there. She'll call either way to let me know.

Of course, if I do end up having another free day, I do already have one plan (check out The Silmarillion) but this may prove impossible (if the fast-food restaraunts are closed, how likely is it that the library will stay open?).

So, if anyone else (or hell, the same people) wants to ask me to write them some fic, I probably have the time. And I'd be happy to do it, for it is fun.

Oh, and I'd like to welcome all the people who've been adding me to their friendlist recently. Just as a warning - I slash, I write het, I write tons of meta, and I have what should be an embarrassing amount of love for my shows and movies (I'm not embarrassed). I have no problem reading Real Person Slash, incest, or non-con - as long as it's well-written. I'm fairly easy-going and I don't like to argue, though I'm good with disagreeing or debating (it's all about the levels of anger and fear).

So, if anyone else wants to ask me to write them some fic

Well, I've had this fic-bunny running around, with no plot.

See, in the wake of LotR, I notice how fangirls get so swoony over Legolas and Aragorn, and write all manner of fangirly Middle Earth fic. Self-insertion, in the form of senseless crossovers or the mysterious emergence of Elrond's other daughter. And then with the teen-y romance. And I don't begrudge them. But it makes me feel so sad.

Because bearded girls need love too.

Yeah. That's right. Where are all the Dwarf Women at?

I have in mind some sort of a parody/humor-ish fic idea wherein for no explainable reason, a she-dwarf stumbles through a portal into Post-Chosen Cleveland. (Because in such crossovers, there is always a portal and somebody comes through, but there's rarely a legit reason why.)

At which point the ambiguously gendered Dwarf must hook up with the ambiguously-gay Andrew. I'm trying to come up with anything else beyond that, while working in obligatory references to both "Howard the Duck" and the LotR films. At some point, Andrew will wax poetic, with those Mary Sue-ish descriptions of her crusty skin and auburn beard. Because instead of mocking his girlfriend for lookings like "ZZ Top", everybody should be jealous of the love that they share.

And at some point, the females (and Andrew) will whine because the Middle Earth visitor wasn't Legolas or Aragorn.

Sadly, I have no other plot. But I really want to see a parody/humor fic of this sort. You want it?

Dude, that's all detailed and such. You should write it. It sounds funny and interesting with a sweet edge (Well, yes, Andrew, after all). And you could be all knowing with the Middle-Earth knowledge and such.

And the plot can be the story of the dwarf - her arrival would confuse many. She's probably start out wanting to go home, and then she'd slowly fall for Andrew and would have to make a Choice. And depending on your story, she could chose either to stay or to go - and maybe she'd offer to take Andrew with her. And then you'd have another Choice.

Yes. I should. But I'm still stuck in the "that would be cool" phase. If unable to scare up a plot - and if you've read any of my fic you'll notice that I suck at plot - I will probably just post the abstract and beg for someone else to write.

Have you read my stuff? I, too, share the failing of sucking at plot.

We're two plotless souls, on the highway of life.
