Just pump it straight into my veins...

I think I'm addicted to memes, and I also have serious difficultly in saying no to memes which pop up on my Flist, especially memes of a writerly persuasion, such as this little number I picked up from jjpor :

Give me two characters from different fandoms you know I'm familiar with, and I'll give you a dialogue happening between the two of them. Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worlds clashed or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossover conversation with no backstory, for fun.

Fandoms I'm familiar with, well, by familiar I mean 'seen enough to be somewhat comfortable writing in':

*Doctor Who and its various spin-offs, New, Classic, Audio, the SJAs etc. (I could probably write Torchwood at a stretch, but, erm, probably not your best bet if you're looking for stellar characterization)
*Firefly
*Buffy (though only up to s.5)
*Lord of the Rings
*Dead Like Me
*Redwall (don't judge me)
*Narnia
*Dr. Horrible
*Repo! The Genetic Opera
*The Lion King (I'm not sure if I'm familar with the fandom, but I do like the movie, though why this cross-over would come up...?)
*Magic School Bus (Ditto with the Lion King)

I could probably do CSI: NY at a stretch. Actually, I could probably do Animorphs as well if you REALLY wanted to stretch it, but I haven't read those in ages.

Aww...poor Simba... I really liked that, and I never thought I'd hear myself say that about Lion King fic! XD The white witch was suitably sinister; I liked the way her attempt at temptation bounced off Simba's essential nobility, and like to think that somehow this encounter spurred him to go on and win back his kingdom.

The fun part of that was that I've never written Lion King fic before (er... except for that ill-advised prequel type thing during that stage when I decided that fan scripts and fan fic were two entirely separate things). It was surprisingly difficult, and I kept wanting to bring in Rafiki to yell something about bananas...

Hmm... Now I want to write a fic with Ten and Rafiki... and bananas... and Rafiki hitting Ten with his stick for being angsty.

'Now I want to write a fic with Ten and Rafiki... and bananas... and Rafiki hitting Ten with his stick for being angsty.'

Oh dear, I've never even seen The Lion King, but that needs to be done. With a capital NEEDS. I have always wanted to hit Ten with a stick for being angsty.

*grin*

(If you don't want to do it yourself, could you put it up on dw_straybunnies? I bet somebody would write it. And lost_spook would be very happy to have new content on the comm...)
