the countdown begins?!
I can't believe people nominated the following fandoms and I am so very pleased they did!
Jostein Gaarder – Sophie's World | AAAAAAAHH THIS BOOK WAS MY FAVORITE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. For a time, I wrote all my short stories to have the same ending as this book. My best friend at the time gave me my own copy for my birthday so I would finally give her her copy back. I was rereading it recently actually, and meh, it gets pretty didactic, but my thirteen-year-old self loved it. The Solitaire Mystery is a better-written book, but Sophie's World holds a special place in my heart. I'm gonna volunteer to write for this definitely.
The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us! (song) | Are you kidding meeeeeee. ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEE?!?!?! SOMEONE REQUESTED FIC FOR A SUFJAN SONG. BLOW MY MIND, YULETIDE. omg. Yeah, go on and request the song I associate with a Merlin/Will American suburbs AU, just go on and do that. Def volunteering for this too. Thinly veiled 'Merlin' fic, here you come?! (SUFJAN IS ALWAYS RELEVANT.)
RPF - A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila | Don't be hating! Actually, hate it if you want, the show deserves it. But why hate when you can lol?! OH HOW WE LOLED. How does one write fic for a reality show? Do you pretend the production crew and the cameras aren't around?
The Magic School Bus (tv) | lol, I'm probably not going to write for this, but omg I would be all over the reading of it. The secret life of Ms. Frizzle? The secret life of LIZ?! The kids all grown up? When I was wee, I wrote Magic School Bus fic about the kids as high school teens and there was angst all over the place. Other fandoms I <33 but am not writing for include Ghostwriter and The Adventures of Pete & Pete.
...and Ocean Girl! | I haven't thought about this show in FOREVEREVER, and then I saw it on the list and now I'm mainlining the episodes. Neriiiiii, how so awesome? This is, um... another show I wrote a fic for when I was a kid. Also, the ORCA kids had really weird hair, what's up with that. Also, the commander is a hotass.

"With a group of friends, [Barry] Humpries used to go to a shop every day at the same time and pay for a bar of Lux soap but never take the soap away. They would sometimes get strangers to do the same thing. Each time the shop-keeper would say, "You've forgotten your soap," to which Humphries and company would respond, "We don't want the soap, we just want to buy it!" Eventually Humphries took the soap out of the shop but returned, saying, "I'm sorry, I forgot to leave the soap." The shopkeeper eventually moved to another part of town."
