Would you like a drabble?

[eliyes]

So. I'm feeling magnanimous, and also need something to keep my brain occupied that isn't what my brain's been occupying itself with lately.

Which is why I am presenting the Ely-belly Drabble Request Remix! (patent pending, some restrictions apply)

Here's how it works:

I'm going to give you a list of things I am willing to fic for (under a cut -- it's a big list) and you may comment on this post with a request for the series/game/whatever. I will write a drabble for that series/game/whatever, and post it as a reply to your comment. That's my only guarantee. Oh, and there will not be any porn. I can't fit porn in a drabble.

You can ask for one (1) particular character¹ to be involved or mentioned, and I may accommodate that -- but this is a wild and crazy spontaneous inspiration type Remix! So you might not get that character if I get a more compelling idea. And I'm not asking for prompts or story ideas because I don't want them.

I want to see what I can come up with for you on my own.

Here's the source list:

Stargate: Atlantis
Stargate SG-1
Star Trek (The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, or Voyager)
JEM
Here is Greenwood
Young Hercules
Bubblegum Crisis (and/or Crash)
AD Police Files (the ones with Leon in them, not the ones with the German dude with shrapnel in his brain, since I haven't seen those)
Gundam Wing (including Endless Waltz)
Tekken
King of Fighters (and all constituent games, including but not limited to: Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury, Psycho Soldier, etc., but not including the crossover games with Capcom)
Vision of Escaflowne
Marvel Comics (okay, in this case, please specify a series or team or something)
DC comics (see above; note that I am talking about the comics, not movie or TV 'verses)
The Sentinel
Gene Roddenbury's Andromeda
due South
CLAMP (you don't get to specify series in this one >3 )
Yoroiden Samurai Troopers
Yu Yu Hakusho
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie only)
Biker Mice From Mars (original cartoon -- I haven't seen the new one, alas)
The Scarlet Pimpernel
The Princess Bride (movie)
Saint Seiya
FAKE
From Eroica With Love
Starsky & Hutch
RENT
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Final Fantasy 7
Egyptian mythology
Transformers (combined G1-through-movie and original comics version, or my take thereon)
Sailor Moon
Drake & Josh
Megaman (classic series or X-series)
Fushigi Yuugi
YuGiOh
***original*** (This one gets you a drabble involving original characters I made for original fiction -- not fan characters for any other series. WARNING! May contain extreme crack.)

Finally, if you can't decide, or just like testing you're luck, you can choose a Randomized Remix Request! *bing bing bing* There are 39 sources listed above. I will roll two (2) 20-sided dice, add the totals, and count from the top until I hit the number of the total. That is the source you get. "But wait, Ely!" you say, "What if you roll 40?!" Well, my friend, if the dice come up with 40, you get a very special crossover (or possibly mash-up) of my choosing. You can't request one -- the RRR is the only way to get one.

Now that I've made things ambitiously complicated -- Ladies and Gentlemen, START YOUR ENGINES! (Make a request!)


¹"Boostle" does not actually count as one (1) character, sorry. Ditto for any other portmanteaux.

Star Trek DS9 (Julian Bashir) or Voyager (Harry Kim)

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

I'm having trouble choosing which of the ideas I have for this to write, so, I want you to pick a number, 1, 2, or 3.

[elusivebard.livejournal.com]

oops I forgot to answer you. let's go with 3 ... if you can even remember what it is anymore!!

[scribe-protra.livejournal.com]

Kuwabara from YYH please?

[poisonivory.livejournal.com]

It's not on the list, but will you write Max Goof?

If not, Josh Nichols!

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

Alas, I'm only going to write what's on the list. So it looks like you can expect some Josh in your future.

Saint Seiya ;3

Give me a Spectre, if you would --

Marukina stood guarding the closed Gates of Judgment, warily eying the milling horde of shades that had been ferried over the Styx. The Holy War was having an unusually high collateral death toll... A few of the dead approached him to beg entrance, and he scowled horribly at them, aware of the play of muscle in his face, the alien weight of mortal flesh on his bones. This business of wearing meat for the war was so... undignified. Common shades would never dare importune him normally. He glared at them, and wished his master would find his way back from the mortal world soon.

The Balrog approves (and wishes his own Skeleton knew how to behave like that ;3) --

The hamster also approves!

Tracks, please. :D (Or, failing that, any other TF character of your choosing.)

Red-Faced

This was the very pinnacle of embarrassment.

As he struggled against his bonds, Tracks reflected that he'd never guessed he would harbour that sentiment about anything that didn't involve being splattered with some kind of repugnant detritus in an important social situation. Hanging upside down from a cable-mesh trap was giving him a whole new perspective, in more ways than one.

"Are you sure you don't want me to climb up there and try to get you loose?" Raoul asked from below. Primus bless the boy; brave and loyal.

"I really don't think your pocketknife would work against Cybertronian alloy, but I thank you for offering."

Raoul sat at the base of a tree with a huff and watched as Tracks tried to free himself. Suddenly, the Autobot dropped about three feet -- and the mesh tightened around him, trapping his arms completely. Tracks stopped struggling, waiting for the swaying to stop and considering his options.

"So, why is this trap thing here?" Raoul asked. "I mean, we're really close to your base, and it's not like you guys hunt for food."

"Well, I see three possible explanations," Tracks said, keeping his voice light. "From best to worst case scenario: this is one of our own security measures of which I have run afoul, in which case some sort of alert should have been triggered in the Ark; this is a prank; or this is a trap set by our enemies, most likely the Decepticons, given the materials used, deliberately and boldly set closest to the most likely place to capture one of us. In all cases, either the persons responsible will come check soon, or a security patrol will come by eventually."

Raoul frowned. "Can't you send out a distress call? Like, 'Mayday' or something?"

"I've sent a databurst SOS to HQ, but I don't want to risk a continuous radio signal, in case it brought trouble on me sooner. In case this is a Decepticon trap," he said calmly, "I'd like you to hide." He saw Raoul start to bristle, and added, "that way once they collect me, you can go get help."

"Be too late, then, Raoul said with a snort, but he found a tree to climb all the same. Tracks watched him make his way up a trunk without benefit of branches; sheerly amazing what these humans could do, sometimes. Although watching his friend move so freely just made him all the more aware of the uncomfortable immobility of his self, and he sighed.

Raoul disappeared into a thick mass of foliage roughly parallel to Track's eye-level -- and then reappeared, swinging unexpectedly into view, upside down. HE grinned, and Tracks laughed.

"I figure what the hell, right? But I can't stay this way too long, or my face'll look as red as yours."

"Well, we wouldn't want that. It's a difficult colour to pull off, you know." Raoul laughed, and Tracks felt a little better about his predicament.

Awwwwwwww. ♥

Raoul is such a good friend.

*assumes Tracks eventually got out without being beaten up by Decepticons?*

If he's lucky, Hound found him.

Re: Red-Faced

[apathocles.livejournal.com]

If?!

Re: Red-Faced

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

Yep. I never worked out what happens next.

The worst possible outcome is Decepticons.
The second worst outcome is Sideswipe.

Look at it this way: you get to decide what happens next. Who knows? Maybe it was all a misunderstadning and there will be a sexy soothing carwash after. XD
