 So, instead of actually putting new words on my hockey big-bang fic today (which is at 13,000 words), I tried to keep other plot-bunnies from distracting me, by outlining them in Scrivener. 

I outlined 3 different fics today, between 9 and 14 note-cards/scenes each (and they'd be sure to expand from there if/when I actually get into the writing). 

I have no shortage of ideas, that's for sure.

The three bunnies I worked on are:

The Tazer/Kaner magical realism that I talked about a while ago, where Pat is a cursed fairy prince and Jon is Jon. The biggest sticking point of that one is trying to find a way to express why either of these guys finds the other attractive beyond "They just do." One of the notes is "P insults J, his face and his hockey."

Sid/Geno, also somewhat magical, where Sid has a very bad night after a game and ends up without money, shoes, jacket or phone, in Pittsburgh in the winter.  Geno is the 'homeless' guy who rescues him. And there's a whole world of magic that Sid has sometimes dreamed of.

Sid/Ovie dystopian fic where pro athletes sometimes go to underground pit-fights. It's not really Ovie's scene, but there's this one fighter he can't get out of his head, a regular that's owned by the house. So he keeps going back until his favorite is injured in a fight, and by then it's too late to walk away.

Okay. Now that that's pinned down and not going to get lost in my brain, I need to work on the BB some more. 

Okay, this site is too awesome: http://kaction.com/badfanfiction/

The Terrible Crossover Idea Generator. Because I looove terrible idea crossovers.

So far it has given me:

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Samurai Jackand I, Robot. The story should use time travel as a plot device!

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Evil Dead and 21 Jump Street. The story should use tornadoes as a plot device!

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Dukes of Hazzard and Thundercats. The story should use martial arts as a plot device!

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Sesame Street and Psych. The story should use a vacation as a plot device!

I could be here all day.

 Is there a chart of the Leverage episodes by Eliot!whump? Because I could use that.

  Taken from peaceful_sands, this looked too awesome but I didn't want to play until I'd already finished one of the two Losers WIPs I was desperately working on.

Name any two fandoms you know I'm familiar with, and I will tell you how I would, hypothetically, cross them over!

I'll consider any fandom I have ever written in, or any that I have recced or mentioned in my journal in a serious way as fair game. No promises of anything other than an idea how it would start, but you guys know me, the best fics start this way sometimes.

 Another of those plot bunnies that I'll never have to write. I feel like I could flow a novel out of this outline.

 This feels oddly familiar.  I think I heard about a ST episode (next generation) because of the gender issues and stuff, but I don't think I ever saw it.

On the way to pick the baby up from the sitter last night, I had like this plot-epiphany where all these elements came together and formed a story in my head, so clearly I wonder if I read this somewhere?  Where Jensen is this ballet dancer from Russia who speaks almost no English and Jared's the guy who delivers the room service in his hotel.  

I doubt I'll ever get it down on paper, mostly because I know absolutely  nothing about ballet or Russia or super-expensive New York hotels.  But I am plotting it out and saving the notes in Scrivener.  Who knows.  

God I want to write again.  I feel fic-defective these days.
