Character substitution meme

Give me a story of mine and an alternate set of characters: protagonists, antagonists, or bit-players. I'll give you at least a hundred words of a scene that could have turned out differently.
TBH, I'm not sure I have enough actual characterisation in my stories (which are rarely more than 100 words anyway) for this to work. It has, however, encouraged me to spend the afternoon finally creating a Fic List like what everyone else who posts fic on LJ has.

Well, that's a relief.
Feb. 10th, 2011 10:05 pmYou know the Storytime! I sometime allude to vaguely here? The one I've been working on (on and off) for over two years?
Just now it suddenly occured to me to wonder if the original text, which due to the nature of Storytime, I've been quoting extensively, was actually in the public domain. It turns out it is.
