Things for which I blame Tumblr (2/ongoing) and more fic stuff...

[graculus]

Yes, more for the list I started here:

Orphan Black, which is all sorts of awesome and when the hell is season 2 airing?

Welcome to Night Vale, ditto on the awesome.

That I am left wondering why more show-runners aren't like Bryan Fuller rather than Steven Moffat?

That show premiere dates may seem a long way away but...

That I have been spamming my Tumblr with Pacific Rim stuff, though I have no shame in relation to this! Anyone on my flist who hasn't seen it yet, why not?

More trope_bingo thoughts - over on Tumblr, someone kindly posted a diagram that sorted out the whole crossover-fusion thing I was asking about


For my 'AU: fusion' I couldn't help myself, I had to go with my idea where Napoleon Solo is a man's man, ladies' man, man about town and Illya Kuryakin is a small-town professor whose new best-selling book on human sexuality just has to be wrong, doesn't it?

So far I also have some ideas for 'AU: apocalypse' (WWW), 'futurefic' (Mag7), 'character in distress' (Mag7) and 'mind control' (UNCLE) and maybe 'kidfic' (Mag7).

I'm struggling a bit with the 'AU: alternate gender norms' prompt as while I've read ABO, it's really not something I can see myself writing - it's a little too gender essentialist for my liking - but I need to look at alternatives to that. Likewise 'slavefic', while a lovely trope that I would usually enjoy immensely, is pretty limiting for me in my current fandoms - two of them are fandoms set immediately post-Civil War after all, with the baggage that entails (and no, AU doesn't help me, not with this).

My friend read the comic, and the novelisation - I think there are a few extra tidbits in there worth picking up. I think there's quite a well-formed wikia too :) I definitely get the impression that there was a long process deciding on backstory and design.
