Writing meme answer #14

[dbskyler]

I've decided to answer the writing meme questions one at a time, since it's less overwhelming that way -- more fun for me to write up, and hopefully more fun for others to read, too. Here we go with the first one!

lost_spook asked me #14 from the writing meme:

14. Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?

I would love to have someone finish my WIPs if they could finish them perfectly, and make them come out exactly the way I want them to come out. But since no one else can look into my head, no, I don't want anyone else finishing my fic for me, not even the ones that have been languishing away for years. Instead I will keep holding out hope that I will eventually get them to come out exactly the way I want them to come out, or, well, with an ending of some sort, anyway.

But this question reminds me of dw_straybunnies, a comm which has sadly gone by the wayside, but which was very useful for throwing out fic ideas that you knew you would never get around to writing, or just wanted to see someone else tackle. Looking at my list of un-started fic ideas, I do have a couple that I should post over there, under the assumption that there are a few other people around who are still watching that comm.

But as for what I really wish someone else would write, I'm still waiting for the full tale of the Doctor learning he's the Master's half-human brother, descended from Rassilon, rightful inheritor of the Sash, with Borusa as his grandfather and a weathered Kansas Time Lord farmer as his and the Master's father, with Nazis. Although jjpor made an amazing attempt that was beautifully written and not even crack!fic. But he hasn't finished it (yet), and anyway, can you ever have too many Eighth-Doctor-related-to-Rassilon-and-the-Master-through-a-weathered-Kansas-farmer-Time-Lord fics, with Nazis?

You can still post to dw_straybunnies! It was just that everyone stopped posting ideas and so it seemed rather pointless (and, at the time, pretty exhausting) to keep posting the Prompt of the Month. I suspect that it is mainly people who are already on our flists anyway these days, but maybe not all! Your mod, however, is definitely still here. Never goes away, really...

Yay! It probably is mostly our mutual flisters, but I never talk about my languishing prompts, so it's not as if it would be repeated information if I were to post over there. First, I have to decide that I definitely won't write them myself, though. But there should be at least one prompt I'm willing to post. And who knows, maybe I'll start a renaissance!

Indeed! :-D
