vanillafluffyHALLOWEEN PARTY INVITATION-COME AS YOU'RE NOT: 2009
This is the fourth party of its kind---I participated the first two times. Year One produced Bad Fairy (a three-way House MD-Supernatural-Burning Zone crossover which I still think is one of the best things I've ever written---certainly the best-researched!). Year Two was good for my first work of RPF, True Love and Other Fairy Tales. Last year, I was just not up for it. Now, though, with unemployment giving me vast stretches of unoccupied time, I'm contemplating my ensemble.
It's a tricky question. I have multiple candidates: I could go for a new fandom (I've not ventured into Leverage territory yet, or Heroes), a new genre (I've never written a Western, despite being a long-time Louis L'Amour fan), a squick (I've never written Wincest), or I could try to finish something that's languished for ages (I can think of a few things that have been on the drawing board for a year or more, and that's usually the kiss of death).
Things I've done and can cross off my "To Do" list:
AUs, space operas, crossovers, slash (<---Actually nailed all four in "Beyond Blade Runner"), ghosts (<---prior to SPN), flashbacks, future fic, songfic, past tense, present tense, 1st, 2nd and 3rd person, parodies including Sues and self-insertion, OCs/OFCs, outsider PoV, obscure canon characters, obscure fandoms, unlikely pairings, missing scenes, sequels, prequels, multi-part epics, drabbles, multi-part drabbles (Seriously. Try a 36-chapter fic in which the 34 chapters in the middle were all double drabbles.), scads of holiday fic---including Arbor Day, twu wuv, fluff, tongue-in-cheek, screwball comedy and crack (not all of which has been recognizedd as such), murders, mpreg, med!kink, generally served up with a twist at the end, or as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Any thoughts or comments? Bueller?
Thank the deity of your choice for the "Saved from draft" option---for some reason, this didn't post last night when I actually wrote it. I swear, this computer gets slower and slower and more and more idiocyncratic. I can't *imagine* why, it's *only* five years old. -- /sarcasm
