Idea dumping for
mgs_clichefic:
FIC- AU where Otacon is a vampire. I have all the details for My Vampires Being Different that will let me
whine about how MGS4 sucked make metastatements about the game as a whole, and it will be awesome once I figure out a plot for it. Maybe someone else needs to be a slayer or something? Maybe he can have mortal vampcombat with Vamp? I don't know. Ugh. Throw some ideas at me or this won't get written.
- Finish off that Snake/Otacon kidfic thing. I have about three pages and the plot hasn't started. I like it and I think it's some of my best writing (read - I can read it back and not cringe horribly several days after writing it), but - again, there's a lot of material I want to get and not a lot of plotting ability I have.
- The MGS/Twilight crossover Miri and I plotted while she was helping me with the dishes. ONCE AGAIN, while I have plotted out in my head how it fits in the verse, what Meyerpires are in the verse I'm making and so on (while conveniently ignoring the timeline because it makes more sense in my head for the verses to cross over during MGS4 but Bella needs to be a human for the plot to work), I still have no idea how to conclude the plot or make it all fit together. Right now I'm stuck on the fact that I've set Bella up to try to de-vamp Edward, but Bella would never do that even if she wanted to, and Edward would want to be de-vamped but would never let Bella do it, so basically I'll end up with the two main characters both wanting something but arguing about how they both want it and not doing it for
no reason. However, this is IC, so I may leave it in as soon as I can figure a way out of the infinite loop which isn't 'AND THEN NAOMI KILLS ALL THE VAMPIRES AND EVERYONE CHEERS, THE END'. Also, I realise writing this will force me to ape SMeyer's prose, and I can't even ape my
own prose most of the time; not to mention I'll have to actually reread the book to check that I'm doing it right, aaaugh.
I might end up giving up and just write a meeting between pre-MGS1 Snake and the Cullen family when they were living in Alaska.
- Blanketfic. I have the most terrible fondness for the whole blanket scenario, especially when it comes to forcing men to cuddle. The problem is that I can't decide if I should do Snake/Otacon or Raiden/Rose. On the Snake/Otacon end, there's the fact that I had the idea rolling around in my head like an old rotting pea in a thrown-out tin can for a while, which means I'll have a better idea how to set it up and what to do with it; there's the fact that the pairing would be more inclined to at least a semi-happy resolution; and also, it's my OTP. On the Raiden/Rose end, I could work it into the '
I'm afraid of the night! That's why I don't sleep next to you!' line; the main source of conflict will be based in canon rather than in headcanon; and everything else I write for this challenge will be Snake/Otacon anyway so it'll add some variety. The biggest problem is I can't figure out how I could make it have a happy ending.
VIDDING (yes, really)- Linkin Park AMV About A Character Being Sad. Not sure how to twist it to make it creepy-awesome, though. Maybe tell a really weird story that's the total opposite of the lyrics' sentiments, or use some kind of insane remix, or something?
EDIT: HAVE THOUGHT OF AN IDEA, AND IT'S NOT A RIDICULOUSLY AMBITIOUS ONE. Now off to listen to some Linkin Park remixes.
