so on the heels of all this recent failure to write a damn thing, how ridiculous would it be to sign up for polybigbang?

super, super ridiculous you say?

... making a list of potentials anyway.

MCU: Natasha/Clint/Steve (the aromantic sexual Natasha/asexual romantic Clint/bisexual and romantic Steve story about everyone finding their feet and feeling things out); possibly poly teamfic; possibly Pepper/Tony/Rhodey or something with Jane and Thor and others cause those are dynamics I'm feeling lately

White Collar: the Diana/Christie and asexual bdsm Diana/Neal story, also about finding your feet and feeling things out and how Diana learns what being in love with someone you don't want to sleep with is like story that I never actually wrote

Toby Daye: Teenage fae love shapes (either the BDSMverse AU, or just Quentin/Raj/Helen/Chelsea/maybe Dean funtimes)

Newsflesh: Maggie/Dave/Alaric which obviously is au but I still ship it hard okay.

... I am also tempted to poke crossover ideas too and basically I don't have plotty or specific enough ideas to consider this, but I am still really fucking tempted, cause I suck. The end.

You too, eh?

... I need to make a list of options.

Lists are useful. I'm sitll trying to work mine down enough to think about signing up. Adding more would be so much easier. XD

Yooooou should be doing things that entertain you, even in potentia. *hugs* Feed the sparks of happy.

*hugs* I'm working on it. I'm not sure whether it'd end up being fun or a source of stress, honestly, but... poly fic.

I absolutely understand. I mostly want to reinforce that there is Nothing At All wrong with brainstorming beautiful poly concepts that may never make it to drabble length, if thinking about them gives you pleasure.

<333 You are wonderful and the reminder is helpful. And it was something to get me through being sore and having shampoo all over me at work, so I definitely spent a lot of time thinking on it tonight. (Didn't get anywhere, but lots of tihnking. XD)

Newsflesh: Maggie/Dave/Alaric which obviously is au but I still ship it hard okay.

*hearts all over this* I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

All of the ideas sound awesome, though! Also, what

petra said.

I don't knwo if I'm going to do it for this, because I A) should finish Blackout properly and B) don't know if I have the time and brain to reread Deadline before writing, which I should... and I have no real plot for it. But one day I am going to write it, because dear god do I ship it. (With ghosts of Buffy always hanging a little over Maggie's head, but maybe not in a bad way anymore. Also, I could easily throw Mahir and Becks in there as well. I really just want non-Mason AtET poly family coping together, I am realizing now. I would throw the Masons in too but I... can't really see them being okay with it, for themselves or each other. So everyone else, with Masons as totally part of the family but a little more distanced.)

.... well that was a ramble at you, whoops. But yes ONE DAY I WILL WRITE THE SHIP. Because dear god do I ship it. I ship all the combos individually, and I ship the three of them, and it would be adorable and I want it.

I am done now. XD <333

I'm even more in love with this idea now (any variation!). *^^* I will not say "WRIIIIITE IIIIIIT", because the main thing is doing something that feels right to you, but if you do write it, I'll be all over it.

(And I totally agree about the Masons not sharing well in that sense. [...I say, despite nominally having a Georgia/Shaun/Mahir WIP. ^^; But that's not so much an attempt at poly as a cautious experiment.])

<333 I will definitely write it someday. (Although I was thinking on the ride home about pairs I could do for poly soulmate aus? And now I'm tempted to do it that way, with lots of blog posts about people's thoughts on soulmates and how the Rising/people mostly meeting over the internet has changed it. I don't even know, my brain. XD)

(And see, I think if there's anyone you CAN throw in there and make it work, it's probably Mahir -- and even then there are definitely obstacles and everyone being a little unsure along the way. Or Buffy maybe, but I'm... not sure I can see that in a different way than anyone else? Man, I don't know, the Masons are complicated, I don't think Buffy would even WANT to deal with trying to get into that, wheras Mahir's life revolves around one or both of them anyway at any given time, how is this really all that different. ... apparently I have feelings about Newsflesh threesomes. Also I really want to read that if you ever finish it.)

The whole soulmate AU thing confuses me (which is not dismissive! Just that I haven't read any relevant fics, so I only half-understand how the tropes work), but that sounds like it could be really neat.

I feel like Buffy was too weird about G&S (and fair enough, given) to get involved with them that way, but yeah, Mahir is a whole 'nother story. *g*

...and this is totally random, but I just realized that in three of my four AU WsIP, I currently have Becks kissing Georgia in some way. *blinks* And yet I don't ship them in any way. I just adore the hints we get about their friendship SO MUCH.

I'm super tempted to sign up too, if that helps...

Yeees, join me. I'm pretty sure I'm going to throw a signup in once I cut down the list of maybes a little, we can flail our way through it together?
