It's Really too bad I'm so Uncreative Right Now

[dlgood]

Everyone is doing the following meme:

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.)

Folks can give me a challenge.

Because I am lazy and devoid of ideas - and this sounds too much like homework - I will not actually write a drabble. But I can write about the drabble I would have written, if I would actually drabble. Yeah.

Give me a prompt. I'll give you a plot bunny.

EDITED TO ADD: I do not actually expect, or request, anyone to actually follow-up and volunteer themselves.

I would be happy to give you a prompt but I cannot fulfill my end of the bargain on the meme at this second, due to obligations which already need to be filled and joining help_haiti and...

I'm whining, right?

Fred Sanford, Illyria. It's the big one.

Follow-Up: Don't worry - I;m not actually expecting/asking anyone to do any of these, themselves. I'm too lazy to have expectations of anyone else...

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I do usually do these. :D I mean, that's where you got your James Kirk/Illyria story from, wasn't it?

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

That is true.

In an alternate version of "Time Bomb", Illyria's scattered time-travel events take her further backward and forward in time than expected. One of these trips takes her back in time to 1977. Confused, and hoping to find either someone she knows, or a specific relic to return her to the current time, she winds up at the Sanford & Son junkyard. Fred is smitten, while LaMont and Esther are instantly suspicious of this very weird blue woman.

Our interlude concludes with Illyria getting her mysterious item leaving, while Lamont discovers a baby in a basket in the front yard (presumably the infant Charles Gunn) while a long camera shot reveals Angel (with ridiculous polyester suit and bad wig) hiding under a pile of garbage.

YAAAAAAY!!!!!

That's perfect. Absolutely perfect. \o/

Heh. Presumably, a later deleted scene will feature Angel telling Spike to "Shut up, dummy" or perhaps offering him 'five of these' Fred Sanford style.

You know, I could almost see it.

Wesley Crusher and Dr. Gregory House. (Am I sadistic or what?)

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

Very possibly. My sad admission - I am only loosely familiar with the Star Trek Mythos - and have probably seen less than 15% of it's available content. What I do know, is that Wesley was this badly introduced character - who was supposed to be great and beloved - but was disliked by most viewers because Roddenberry liked him too much and was too generous in his introduction of this character.

Therefore, to amuse viewers, Wesley must pay.

So, some circumstance would require him to have 'career enhancing training' using the holodeck - including some rather merciless training provided by a hologram of Dr. Gregory House. In which all of the flaws in previous Wesley writing would be seized upon in a very meta fashion by Dr. House. This would prove upsetting to Rodenberry but cathartic for viewers.
