Your chance to own a piece of The Rock!

[rabid1st]

Okay, so...a piece of the Rabid! <<--I would have been very good in Walking Tall.

But if you don't fancy me...there are plenty of other fic writers up for grabs. In the name of the cause: Send A Writer To Writercon...I and a few dozen of my fellow fic-writers are offering our service to your muse.

That's right...we'll write what you want (some restrictions apply...please read the individual ads)...

Go here to bid on the current stable:

Have a good time but save some of your hard-earned dollars for my turn on the block.

But you aren't there! Or are you masqued?

sticks a fiver in your knickers

I am there now...

Chris had a bit of an oversight in putting up my ad...but...I am indeed on the block at this time...and you, as well as Kes, will benefit by the favorable exchange rate. Cheap in Sterling...tha's me.

[keswindhover.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I have a tasty notion for a fic I'd like you to write. And luckily the exchange rate is rather tasty right now, so I could buy your ass in relatively modest amounts of sterling.

Oh...intriguing...and I am indeed...

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

...cheap at these exchange rates...hmmm! In case you checked and found me not on the block...Chris has now opened up the bidding on me.

Rabid/Raeann
interested in knowing what you have in your raptor's mind for me to do...

What I had in mind was Willow and Tara in the college library. Perhaps those gals both get jobs as library assistants in season 4, and Willow can teach Tara the ways of the librarian - already learned in her case from the accomplished Giles?

I want lots and lots of librarian type info that we mere library users don't know, all mixed up with the accidental touching of hands, and glances beneath eyelashes, and more, much more.

It would also be funny if one of them accidentally set a book on fire while looking at the other - and was duly horrified at her vandalism. What to do? Confess? Buy a new copy - but gasp! is it in print?

Hmm, I've nearly written it already!

And I've made an early bid on your services.

This I can do...if indeed you win...

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

...as you say...it practically writes itself. ;-D

Rae

[chrisjournal.livejournal.com]

'Tis there!

I don't know why it got stuck in cyberspace, but it's there now :-)

(I swear *twitch* it wasn't an evil plot on my part to rig the bidding in my favor mwahahahaha!)

grr

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

I just had a thought which I am very sorry to have had.

Dammit, I will not commission Rabid to write the smut scenes for my souled!vamp!Buffy/Spike AU epic! I won't! (And not only because if I did I'd have to write the sucker, but because I'd have to go, "this is the particular sex that is had, with these positions and this mood. Please make it hot outside the realm of my dirty little mind.")

*twitch*

:D

Still, I do wish I had, whatchamacallit, income. And I'm jealous that I don't get to go to WriterCon. (Which is as much a matter of hateplanes as it is money.)

Rabid hates the planes too...

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

Rabid is trying not to think of that...and it hoping to be well and truly drugged for the trip and shamed into fearlessness by Ally and Nauti (both of who I pestered to go to Writercon).

And you are indeed EVIL for making this suggestion...that I could be forced to write 10 pages to be inserted into someone else's fic...hmmm...I would need to consider the options on that one. AND I would demand credit for my part of the fic of course...but now you have opened Pandora's Box.

Rabid
busy stuffing the little flying buggers back into the thing and squishing HOPE in the process.

I'm not even afraid of flying, I just get SICK and feel wretched. And you'll be ok, after all, you get the fun of the con and all... and I won't.

Ally and Nauti (both of who I pestered to go to Writercon).

Meep... No BNF schmoozing and hookers for me. *sniff*

AND I would demand credit for my part of the fic of course.

But of course! I'm nowhere near rich enough to afford a ghostwriter. Whereas I might scrounge up the cash to pay for a co-conspirator.

Maybe if I just wrote the fic, and sent it to you to beta, and you read what passes for smut in my mind, and you'd shake your head and go, "No, no, no, silly wabbit, don't you own a copy of the Kama Sutra?" and then you'd beg to write the scenes for me. *eg*

busy stuffing the little flying buggers back into the thing and squishing HOPE in the process.

Yeah, I never got that, as a kid. I mean, you let all the bad things OUT, which means there's pestilence and murder and disease out in the world. But you keep hope IN, which means... there's no hope in the world? I always felt that it would make better sense as a somewhat optimistic ending if hope flew out with the rest, then it would be out there too, and not stuck in a box. I suppose it means hope is something we still HAVE, but it would make better sense to me the other way.

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

P.S. – If you're worried about other people conscripting you to fill-in-the-blanks in their fic, don't be. I doubt most people would want to bid for that, unless they knew you well, because otherwise it'd be too much collaborative hassle. Most people would probably rather just have you do their bidding anyway. *g*

[shaddyr]

Bwahahah! I bid! I bid!

And then you went and out bid me for estepheia.

::grumble::

Well...I am evil...

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

...and then...I need Estepheia because she can write what I can't. I did feel a slight pang for you though, if that is any consolation.

Rae

Go Shaddyr, Go Shaddyr...

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

...taken me to that next level...I am dollar stepping up the ladder of charity auctions. You are flappin' your cyber-paddle in the face of Kes and her schmoopy fem-slash. And what pray-tell will I be doing for your should you win my shiny hiney in this bidding war?

Re: Go Shaddyr, Go Shaddyr...

[shaddyr]

I like spuffy. I love Snarky!Spike. I adored "Oeuvre". I laughed myself silly over "Press Ganged". The Shower Scene was just plain hot. I could go on.

So.

I really enjoy S4 Spuffy, post chipped, sometimes Post Something Blue, or sometimes not. But there is no requirement for season or setting. And as much as I enjoy PWP, cuz yay! Smut is FUN! I also enjoy plot.

I had this one idea I was toying with, but... I dunno. I think it might need to be a lot longer to tell itself well. Short version; Dawn finds a game at the magic shop as she is helping to repay Anya after OaFA. Still pre-AYW. It's a card game, maybe like Tarot, but not. I was thinking jumanji without the wild beasts and such. Anyway, point is, playing the game is like playing Russian roulette. Prolly be okay, but there is a bullet in the chamber *somewhere*.

Spike ends up at the Magic box for more burba weed or something. Says hi to the bit, peeks to see what she's doing. Is curious about the game; he likes cards after all. And Dawn likes it, he's craving human contact, so they set right down a play.

Perhaps Anya catches them and beeks off - Spike would throw some money at her and tell her to sod off, he'll *pay* for the bloody game, and the bit was takin' a break. And by then, Buffy shows up to pick Dawn up. Protests madly, earns snarky remarks from Dawn, who in turn earns a scolding from Spike. She sits down and lets them finish their game.

And then... well, whatever happens is up to you, but I hope it involves Spike's life being in danger and Buffy getting smacked with a clue-by-four.

Then again, you can ignore this entirely - cuz, yeah, it's kinda contrived - and do your own thing. With steamy Spuffy please.

Now watch. She's gonna come back and totally outbid me.

Re: Go Shaddyr, Go Shaddyr...

[shaddyr]

I just realized, I didn't make it clear - of course, *they* don't realize there is any danger in playing the game. I was thinking that either Anya didn't either, or she *did*, and Spike cut her off before she could tell them, figuring he must already know.

This is also a good story idea...

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

...hmm...now I don't know who to pull for in the bidding...both ideas are intriguing.

Rae
And then in a swift move another bidder enters from out of the blue and swoops me up...and I end up writing Buffy/Angel smoochies (why oh why did I not stipulate no schmoopy B/A?)

Thanks to those who have placed bids...

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

...let's get some people to WRITERCON!
