Madonna - What It Feels Like For A Girl

Remember when this was banned from daytime play? Oh you pearl-clutching media conglomerates, you.

(There's an ad at the start of this video, but it had the best quality. C'est la).

square peg, round hole

A good number of my fanfic pet peeves are due to writers trying to fit square pegs into round holes.

There characters for whom domesticity is a better match than for others.

There are stories that make the most of an explicit sex scene, and there are stories that are ground to a tedious halt by sex scenes.

There are fandoms that are absolutely primed for a high school AU, and there are fandoms where it just wouldn't make a lick of sense, no matter how AU you take it.

I know, I know - it's fic, and we can do whatever we like with the source material. That's the point, right? But honest to god, you don't need to tell EVERY STORY EVER with the same damn characters, in the same damn fandom. Sometimes you'll find a better match if you switch gears and write it in... idk, Moby Dick fandom.

You can keep on jamming that square peg into that round hole, or you can hold onto it until you find a naturally square hole.



On a side note, where's my freaking zombiepocalypse Gilmore Girls AU!? Damn it, world.

another SPN AU that tragically does not exist

Where is the Supernatural AU where Jess teams up with Dean to save Sam from Azazel?

Dean shows up to lure Sam away from Stanford and Sam demands some time to think it over. Dean reluctantly agrees. When he comes back in the morning, Jess answers the door. Sam's not there. Gone with him are a few changes of clothing and enough supplies to suggest that he's gone after John himself. Naturally Dean is already halfway out the door. Naturally Jess decides that she's coming along.

They follow John's clues, and defeat the Woman In White, the Wendigo and so on. All the time looking for Sam and John. When John shows up again, he's got lead on Sam: with the Yellow Eyed Demon, along with the other special children John's identified over the years. Cue showdown in the Village Of The Damned (teenagers).
