What's the weirdest AU you've ever come up with? Or, I would say, what's the weirdest bit of worldbuilding you've ever come up with? Either way, what's your most off-the-wall concept? (For me, easy--superheroes as wrestlers, wtf).

Still poking at my SuperBat Big Bang idea and wondering if I can make it to 8,000 words with it. Everything is else is coming smoothly but I'm suffering some pangs of anxiety with that one--I have plenty of ideas to write, but none of them seem definitely solid enough to get to 8K. We shall see! How about you?

I think it's a tie between Light and Dark my Smallville/Batman Begins AU where the Roman empire never fell and Destiny in the Blood, my Smallville AU where Clark is genetically required to submit to someone in a Dom/sub relationship. They were both a ton of fun to write.

I'm puttering away at my newest novel. It's a little slower than some of the others have been because one character uses xe/xir pronouns and the other is Muslim so I'm having to look a ton of stuff up. And then go edit out mistakes like having him curse. *grin* But hey, learning is good, right?

If in doubt, throw in a blowjob. A good blowjob will always add words to a story. XD Or if that won't work then you throw in fluffy love. Good luck on your SuperBat story!

I'm puttering away at my newest novel. It's a little slower than some of the others have been because one character uses xe/xir pronouns and the other is Muslim so I'm having to look a ton of stuff up.

One of my current wrestling faves is a strict Muslim and I wrote a whole story revolving around him getting a bit drunk and my husband was like "I do not know how to break this to you, but you REALLY should have known better..." *headdesk* I've definitely gotten better about it (though he also is known for swearing at inopportune moments, so that I don't have to worry about...) It sounds like a fun challenge!

Blowjobs are a GREAT idea, but can't work at all, for plot-related reasons I cannot divulge. *shifty look* Fluff and boatloads of angst, of the other hand, will do plenty well. Oh, and loads of h/c, this is an h/c plot run amok. So that's cool!
