Here's the deal. I've got a major parody/humor fic bunny, but no idea at all about how to actually write said fic. I'll take co-writers, betas, and I'm more than happy to hand it off somewhere to somebody else. Pass it around beyond my friends list if you wish.
There's fan-girliness all throughout fandom and ficdom, and I'm cool with that. It's just not my speed. I mostly try to ignore the swoony Angel/Lindsey/Spike fangirly fics in the Buffyverse. In the wake of LotR, I notice how fangirls get so swoony over Legolas and Aragorn, and write all manner of fangirly Middle Earth fic.
Self-insertion, in the form of senseless crossovers or the mysterious emergence of Elrond's other daughter. And then with the teen-y romance. And I don't begrudge them. But it makes me feel so sad.
Because bearded girls need love too.
Yeah. That's right. Where are all the Dwarf Women at?
So here's the bunny. And yeah, it's a crossover:
I have in mind some sort of a parody/humor-ish fic idea wherein for no explainable reason, a she-dwarf stumbles through a portal into Post-Chosen Cleveland. (Because in such crossovers, there is always a portal and somebody comes through, but there's rarely a legit reason why.)
At which point the ambiguously gendered Dwarf must hook up with the ambiguously-gay Andrew. At some point, there must be a musical interlude, and obligatory references to both "Howard the Duck" and the LotR films. At some point, Andrew will wax poetic, with those Mary Sue-ish descriptions of her leathery skin and wiry auburn beard. Also, there must be some fangirly whining from (Andrew, Dawn, or some of the Slayers) that the Middle Earth visitor wasn't Legolas or Aragorn.
I'd like to write it. It'd be funny as crap. But I can't do it. Please don't let this idea die.
