End of the Year Writing Meme, Year of the Querelous Megapode

Okay, let's get back into the habit, eh? Although I should maybe have got back into the habit of actually writing stuff first. Still, I've done it with only two fics before, and at least gestured vaguely at it with one and zero, so here we go:

Memed from thisbluespirit and john_amend_all

Give me a character/pairing and I will write snippets of ten different alternate universes for it. One line, ten lines, a ficlet if you're lucky.

Canon Divergence
Coffee Shop
Shapeshifters
Mirror Universe
. . . In SPACE!!
Historical
Fusion
Emergency Services
Supernatural
Steampunk

(As ever, I've changed a couple of them because I like Mirror Universe and Steampunk. But I've decided to have a go at Coffee Shop for once, instead of swapping it for Cyberpunk,)

I've previously done this for Agnes Nitt; Black Widow; Captain America and Rey; Baldrick; the Doctor/River; Rincewind; Supergirl; Kermit the Frog/Miss Piggy; Del Trotter; Benton Fraser; Ford Prefect; Fitz/Simmons; Bill/Heather; the Seventh Doctor and Ace; and Lister/Kochanski.

(Note to self: the second batch aren't in the fanfic list. Also, it's been six months since I deleted my Livejournal; maybe I should do something about all those dead links?)

Poetry meme

Memed from thisbluespirit and john_amend_all:

1. Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.
2. Visit this site to find your first RANDOM POEM OF POWER. Write down the 5th line (yes, even if it's an E.E. Cummings poem and you wind up with an apostrophe). Repeat five times and — you guessed it — list 'em in alphabetical order! (No cheating, mind! This is a challenge and it's always been about creativity.)
3. I think you can see where this is going. Write a very quick 50-word half-drabble for each fandom (try to do it all in one sitting - make your brain explode!), using the line from the poem as a prompt. You don't have to include it in the half-drabble - it's just inspiration.
4. Bravo! Have a cookie.

The next time this comes up I think I’m not going to do it the john_amend_all way, because it’s really hard. I ended up just giving up on one of them. Anyway, my fandoms were:

Doctor Who
John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme
Legends of Tomorrow
~~Phantom 2040~~
Zootropolis

The results were:

You know, I’m starting to suspect there are only, like, fifty poems on that site or something. “I have a Bird in Spring” came up twice! Still, no Robert Service for once.
