Twitter made me do it. We just can't get enough of these things, twitter and I. We bring to you:

The Multi-Fandom _______ Made Them Do It Meme

Aliens and Sex Pollen and Pon Farr, OH MY!

Everyone has a favorite way to fill in the blank, so it's time to show me yours, fandom. Is it Tony/Bruce: An Experimental Lab Chemical Made Them Do It? Bucky/Steve: The Shield Made Them Do It? Darcy/Clint: ALIENS (Thor) MADE THEM DO IT? Derek/Stiles: The Supermoon Made Them Do It? Arthur/Eames: The Dream Made Them Do It? Loki/Thor: A Spell Gone Wrong Made Them Do It? Harvey/Mike: A Book Made Them Do It? Sam/Dean: Clowns Made Them Do It?

Maybe that's not it. Maybe you've got something a thousand times better. Lay it on me, fandom, because when it comes to this, the possibilities are endless, and there is just never enough.

The Rules

♥ Any fandom
♥ Any pairing
♥ Any rating
♥ Any word count
♥ Any medium
♥ All the _____ Made Them Do It
♥ All the love.

to cliche or not to cliche... has never been a question.

Right. I've had something of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week, and from what I understand, I am not alone. Add in the fact that Remix X signups are opening VERY SOON and I don't qualify for the fandoms I'd like to write in most... The obvious answer is the thing that makes me happiest in the world. CLICHES. So, whatever, let's do a thing.

The Multi-Fandom Cliche Meme

Fake boyfriends, accidental marriages, and amnesia, OH MY!

Any fandom, any rating, any pairing, any cliche. Pick your poison and bring it to the party, because everybody loves a good cliche.

Steve and Bucky undercover at a gay club, dancing close and wanting things they shouldn't? Nick and Monroe make out for cover and realize they don't want to stop? Agent Coulson gets magicked into a toddler and the Avengers have to care for him? Who has to cuddle for warmth? Who has to share a bed with their UST and the object of their lust because there's only one room at the inn? Who can survive the zombie apocalypse, but worries their feelings may do them in? Who has to get someone out of their wet clothes before the teeth chattering does them both in? What about the time Character A has a minor sickness/injury and Character B fusses and Character A is grumpy and THERE IS ALL THE LOVE EVER? What about the one where everyone thinks they're a couple? Where a trip to Vegas/Canada means they wake up married? Or the one where they don't realize they are TOTALLY MARRIED until they start getting toasters and blenders from their friends? What about that road trip across the country that someone has always wanted to take?

Whatever your cliche, whatever your fandom, whatever your character, whatever your medium. I want them all.

Rules

♥ Be kind
♥ Share the love
♥ HAVE FUN.

1) HAPPY BIRTHDAY aredblush YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE, BB. ♥

2) Remix time is coming up soon! I know a lot of us have fandoms we don't qualify for that we'd like to, so I was considering doing a multifandom comment meme/prompt fest to help get the story counts where it would need to be. But the question becomes: Random prompts? A specific type of prompt? Or a theme?

( So, a poll )

3) Inspiration is hard! And while I'm trying to figure out item #2, I thought it'd be fun to try try and get a headstart. So, whatever, a different kind of meme:
The iPod Shuffle
No, not that one. Let's be honest, when we need inspiration, the first place we go is our music library. So let's try something a little bit different. My music library is no help to me, but maybe it can be for someone else. Here's how this thing works:
1) Comment to this post, and I'll give you a prompt in the form of whatever song shuffles up next on whatever music player I've got going at the time.
2) Turn on the music player of your choice to shuffle, post this to your own journal and dole out prompts. No, you can't hide your shameful music. If it shuffles up, that's the gig.
3) Write/draw/whatever way you create for the prompt you've been given: post it. Again, no hiding the shame. Even if you think it's awful, post it.
4) Link your finished product to the prompt comment, because it's always lovely to see the results. ♥

Do you remember, once upon a time, when LJ let fans do their thing, and we didn't have to worry that six companies where so focused on making an outdated model work instead of bringing themselves to the new century that they were going to, what's the quote, slap at gnats with a wrecking ball? When censorship was something that would never be considered? Back when there was a cuddling meme?

Delicious ate itself. The FBI took MegaUpload away. The internet imploded. SOPA is dead on the floor. It's been an emotional roller coaster kind of a time for the fannish among us. Obviously it's time for this. Obviously.

The Multi-Fandom Cuddling Meme 2: Cuddle Harder

Quick! Before they try to take this away from us too!

♥ Any fandom
♥ Any pairing
♥ Any rating
♥ Any word count
♥ ALL THE CUDDLING

DW only, because LJ has made itself worthless for this use.
Stay excellent, fandom. It's what makes this whole mess worth it.
Remember that I love you.

Basically the fact that Hunger Games doesn't have a fandom to rival HP is very disappointing to me. In my soul. And all my feels are belong to Peeta.

Whatever, have a story. Title and cut text from Gretel in Darkness by Louise Glück.

This Is the World We Wanted - Hunger Games - Katniss/Peeta - 430 words
( We are there still and it is real, real )

well then. let's do this thing.

In the course of a week I have given up the ghost of delicious and LJ. I can still be found across the board (including pinboard, but not tumblr, because I know a time vampire when I see one) with the same username. I'm more active on twitter later, just because 140 characters doesn't exactly require a lot of time.

Work is a lot of work. It's frustrating, and exhausting, and I have gotten sick more this year than in the last four. I have no social life--online or off--and a 15 hour day is actually just pretty normal. I'm living the dream, you guys, and I probably wouldn't trade it for anything.

So I've been mostly inactive in fandom, but that doesn't mean the outrage doesn't stand. I still love things. I still lurk. I still throw out completely random stories that I long for on twitter, and try to convince people to write them for me.

I've been toying with the idea of a Grimm meme of some sort, since I've fallen head over heels for it. (And Avengers. I don't even know, I wish I did.) But that's more than just a little out with the new LJ changes, and, whatever, there are only so many times I'm going to let a service make me feel like the money I pay is worth less than people who use it for a different kind of social networking. I'm a fan, and LJ has always been the one place that I didn't need to feel bad about that, but times, they are different now, it seems.

Anyway, I've had this account for two and a half years now, so I figure if there's going to be a change, I should do it in style.
