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?

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*

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...

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*
