Now, I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you all a very sad story.
*ahem*
Once upon a time, not too long ago (when I was young and innocent), I had a cat. Yes, I have kept many cats. But she was a special cat. She was a gorgeous white kitty with a beautiful, beautiful orange tail (she had the best tail I've ever seen). She was not the smartest of cats, because she had very little practical sense. But she was also a darling - she would sit on top of the television and look down as if she were watching; she would wake me up in the middle of the night with a slap on my face because she wanted to sleep on my pillow; she would grab my pen while I was writing and insist upon sitting on the very book I was reading... And one day, she was gone! We looked everywhere, did everything we could - but she was never found. Maybe she lost her way somewhere (remember, she wasn't a very practical kitty), maybe someone took her away. I have never been able to get over losing her. *sigh*
Sad story, isn't it?
There is a point to this story.scribbulus_ink asked a question on her journal about a story that you'd like to see written. My favourite story that no one has dared to write so far is a LFN/HP cross-over with Snape/Nikita (or Snape/Michael, if you prefer slash), involving love potions, the giant squid, Moaning Myrtle, and a number of fiascos. I have a feeling that if some kind soul writes this story for me, I may finally be able to get over losing my cat.
That will be all.
Harry Potter:
Hmmm. The one that immediately comes to my mind is a long, dark, angsty story featuring Snape and/or Hermione doing a Dr. Faustus (Faust). Snape/Hermione is optional. AU, because I doubt this can actually be fitted in canon.
LFN:
Post S5. Michael and Nikita in Section - dark, angsty and looong. No fluff, *absolutely* no happily ever after. Everyone trying to keep secrets from each other, everyone playing games and betraying each other - for proper reasons, of course. Bitter/bittersweet ending. Presence of Paul and Madeline is optional.
I can think of a few more, but I'll just post this one for now. *g*
So, what are your favourite unwritten stories?

Pity about the cat, but...
Date: 2004-03-29 09:09 pm (UTC)Personally, I think Snape would have better taste. Madeline perhaps, but then, perhaps not! *g*
I do love the character Snape.
Awww....

Ah, I knew you had good taste! Do you read HP fan fiction as well? If you don't, do you ever intend to read any?
And you didn't tell me which story you'd like to see written. *g*
Swatkat
Can't say I do.
Date: 2004-03-30 10:06 pm (UTC)There isn't really an LFN pairing I haven't seen which I'd like to - there are a few I'd like to forget about - but there are some stories I'd like to see.
Nikita-the-mole is right up there. I'd like to see an author tackle that canon predicament with a degree of intelligence and a little something I like to call logic.
I'd like to see more Quinn stories and I'd love to see more of Adrian and George in fan fiction.
Does that answer your question, Missy? *g*

Date: 2004-03-31 04:48 pm (UTC)Not even a little bit? There's some very good fan fiction out there. And not all of it is het or slash. *tempts*

I'm very happy with the usual Michael/Nikita and Paul/Madeline pairings, thank you very much. *g*

Oh me too! I liked your Quinn quite a lot, so how about you writing something about her?
And Adrian/George OTP4eva!!!!!11!1
Does that answer your question, Missy? *g*
Yes, but I asked you a couple more. *eg*

The unanswered questions then...
Date: 2004-04-01 09:42 pm (UTC)And now, the new questions...
Not remotely interested in HP fan fiction - I'm sure there are some very good stories out there, but I doubt there are any that would meet my expectations.
I have actually read a few fan fiction pieces based on novels before and all most all of them left me cold. When the source material is a book, I generally find the writing inadequacies of fans entirely too glaring.
I've been thinking about writing a Quinn story and actually have an idea, but haven't yet found the time or the motivation to do so - I'll get around to it eventually. *g*

The cat story boarders on sad. *wink*
Yes, but it didn't really work. *sigh* Maybe I'll have to come up with a more pathetic story.

That's entirely true - especially in a huge fandom like HP, where good fics are hard to find. But we'll get you yet. *g*

Ah, that's great to know. You do realise that now that I know it, I'll continually harass you in the future about it? *eg*
