distract me

[tielan]

I'm writing the next chapter of Wolf & Arrow - a.k.a. the MCU Psy-Changeling story that's been going for, oh, six years and I've written 3 chapters.

--

The mission to save the universe is up next, and I'm kind of terrified of it because OH SHIT NO totally happens. And the fallout is BIG.

--

I'm sort of skipping around the discussion of monetizing fandom (a.k.a. "'Asking for money via Ko-Fi/Patreon is like Multi-Level-Marketing! *reaction shot of WTF*") that's taking place on thisweekmeta. There's a lot to take in there, but having been a multi-level marketing sponsor at one stage of my life, I can safely say that (at least for me) asking friends and fans in fandom for money - either one-offs in Ko-Fi or regular donations in Patreon - is entirely different to the selling that you do in a mlm scheme.

Anyway, I have plenty of things on my plate (including starting to sort out the study/my garden, because I may have to look at moving to Canberra for 6 months to get a job...

But I could totally go the character/question meme:

1) Make a list of fifteen characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment.

2) Ask your f-list to post questions in the comments. For example: "One, nine, and fifteen are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from four. Do they succeed?", "Under what circumstances might five and fourteen fall in love?", "Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?"

3) After your f-list has stopped asking questions, round them up and answer them using the fifteen characters you selected beforehand, then post them.

So I have my list all ready. Shoot me questions, please! I'll take them until the weekend is done in America.

3, 5, and 9 participate in a baking contest. Who wins, and which cake does 12 eat?

14 and 1 wake up married. How did that happen? How quickly do they get a divorce?

13 is giving 6 a new hairstyle. How does that go? Does 13 earn their tip?

8 is 10's child. How rocky is that childhood going to be?

Oooohh—an MCU/Psy-Changeling fusion?!? What a delightful idea!

[tielan]

There's only two stories in it so far (three, if you count the 'inspired by' story written by other authors, that took my humble idea and gave it a serious boost).

4 and 12 are roommates at boarding school. Are they BFFs, frenemies or something else?

[anoyo]

3,7,10 are on the side of the road with a flat tire, at least 15 miles in any direction from help. What do they do?

9 & 2 start dating. How does that first date go? Who asked who out?

8,11,15 are a famous band and 1 is their manager. What kind of music do they play? Who does what in the band? Are they, or are they not, driving 1 crazy?

4 & 12 have to escape from prison? How do they do it? (Bonus: why are they in prison?)

[velithya]

8, 2, and 13 are accepted into Hogwarts. What houses are they sorted into?

1, 4 and 10 are forming a new superhero team. 15 is the leader. How do they face down their first threat from supervillans 7 and 12?

old tropes best tropes!

3 and 7 are trapped in a raging blizzard and have to huddle for warmth in a cabin with a small stove.

1 and 5 are injured (either or both) and trapped in the wilderness during a clandestine mission/something else that fits their background (hike?).

9 and 15 have to fake date (go as far as you like).
