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

[blue_bells]

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?

And since no one else has prompted it yet: Gabriel owns a candy shop AU, with someone trying to teach Raphael how not to terrify customers.

CandyShop!AU (cont.), They try to teach Raphael not to terrify the customers

I meant to send this before I headed out, but then my computer overheated. ^^;

“When they come in or speak to you, use that beautiful smile of yours; say 'good morning', ask them how their day's been....”

Raphael slams the cash register shut and leans a hand on her hip, head cocking to the side; her dark gaze narrows at Gabriel with a slow, calculating smile that is undoubtedly not appropriate for their clients unless she was going to undress (or disembowel) them, and Gabriel wonders if she’s doing this on purpose.

'Probably' is the best answer.

*happy; happy sigh* <3

You write the best stuff, honestly. *admires the Raphael image some more*

♥!

You prompt the best stuff, truly, and I will never tire of writing Raphael, especially in this 'verse. XD

Is that an opening for prompting more stuff? *eyebrow bounce*

For you, darling, always. <3

I've found this 'verse lends itself to incremental updates, instead of one long, sprawling stab at prose.

Works for me! Just so long as I get moar. >3

Excuse the RP account. Again

[was-angelcondom.livejournal.com]

hnnnnng. Also I love the way you write AU!Raphael. (I just love that archangel so seeing her getting love is just awesome.)

Re: Excuse the RP account. Again

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bluebells/]

Thank you! :3 And I love writing her, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

BTW, if this means you are creating more RP logs as we speak, you should definitely send me linkage when you're done.

Raphael is just a wonderful, wonderful archangel, and not even SPN can convince me otherwise. In fact SPN made me love her more.

Well I am doing a Last Words Meme with Michael when my internet co-operates with me.
