Off-Topic += Meme and Q on Story Meta Etiquette

Borrowed from every snowflake and their friend this week:

THREE SENTENCE AU MEME
Give me pairings (or characters). Give me an AU setting. I will write you a three-sentence fic.

I will also finally be responding to comments and getting down to work on the draft of xmenbigbang this morning. I have a week (and a clear outline, thankfully). Stranger miracles have happened. ;P

The story will follow the Brotherhood after the end of X-Men: First Class with background Charles/Erik, Erik/Raven, Azazel/Riptide, and Alex/Hank/Sean, but they're incidental to the story.

What are people's opinions on listing background character relationships when the movement is primarily gen?

I think it's impossible for me to dislike anything you ever write, and the Prom!AU has a special place in my heart because it's for me, but if you ever want to expand any of these (after big bang madness, of course) this would be the one! Or, you know, Mob!AU, since I could get all the characters being gorgeously murderous in that, too. ;)

As I said, though, whatever you write ends up a breath of fresh air, so I'm perfectly okay with being patient. ♥

You are so sweet to me, you really are. <33333 I would love to expand on these 'verses, but the easiest way may be to actually attack it through more 3 sentence prompts; they're quick, bite-sized snapshots, and I don't have to worry about them sitting on a back burner. So, if you're inclined, feel free to prompt away! Prom!AU! Prison!AU! All the AUs.

You're opening up the floodgates, darling, but I'm going to sorely resist my temptation to ask for all of them getting expanded for a few: prison AU, Prom AU (because, come on, it's my precious) and teacher/student AU. After all, I need to see what happens during detention; the devil won't let himself be beaten that easily, right? If you need specificity by way of prompts, I can probably think something up, but I'm a bad prompter and you're consistently amazing when left alone with your brilliance, so...

But make sure XBB is your priority. As I've said, I'm excited about anything you write, and waiting for one or the other doesn't strain my patience whatsoever. ♥

The devil never (almost never) gives up; that would require that pride goeth before the fall.

You may have all of the things, my dear. ♥♥♥~!

XBB is definitely my priority, atm, but I am still attempting to answer all comments, otherwise that falls behind. Contemplating bringing my laptop in to write during lunch....

You're so good to me. ♥ I know what you mean about drowning under a sea of comments if you don't gradually trim them; this meme really swamps the inbox all it's own, but it's amusing! Has XBB been flowing well? If you want to go even faster, writing during lunch might be the way to go and I'm sure it'll all be worth it when it's done, posted and lavishing under the praise of all. ;D
