Today is my personal WIP dump as I clean out my "fics to write" folder. Some of these have been languishing for a long while, and alas, I cannot finish them. So here we have three fics that I am abandoning but which have either full scenes or large enough sections to make them interesting. Anyway, I never remember when it's WIP amnesty day, plus I don't feel as if I need your forgiveness anyway, not for this.
1. Harry Potter: Les Liaisons dangereuses (started, March 2008)
Last year for the Snarry games I wanted to write Harry Potter a la Les Liaisons dangereuses, with Harry as Valmont and Snape as Volanges, and of course, Draco as the viscious Mertueil. I had cast everyone in my head. Ginny was going to be the innocent Cecile, etc etc etc, but there were some issues, and there was some concern that it wasn't Snarry enough (eyeroll), and I had been looking forward to rewriting Harry's past, being sorted into Slytherin, and his sexy hateful relationship with Draco. Snape wasn't going to be good by any measure, but he was going to be voluntarily celibate and despising of Harry and Draco's hedonism and amorality. What's the word? Hrm. It was going to end like the Pfeiffer/Malkovich/Close film, though—Harry and Snape dead. Draco disgraced. Possibly Ginny pregnant with Harry's child.
Anyway, I started it, and I never finished, because I was so put off by the feedback I received by mah cohorts. I did Grosse Pointe Blank instead, and that was fun. But if today is fic amnesty, I'll show you what I got, because it would have been a great start.
( Potter—you're a git. )
2. Torchwood: Jack and Narnia (started March 2009)
Wait wait wait, come with me here. It's not that he GOES to Narnia. I've already done that. The fact is I love those books like burning, but that's because of things that don't involve you. Methos went to Narnia to be redeemed, and I didn't want to do the same thing. But something about the subtle nature of Aslan being the savior is striking in the way that he is capricious about it, especially with the information that he doesn't give, and that reminds me of the Doctor in some ways. I had written this in four chunks, but it lays the narrative out, and it's more of a small character piece than anything with any real plot. Plus Ianto gets the funny line about the wardrobe.
( Is this about that wardrobe down in the vaults? )
3. Highlander: The Batman (started December 2007)
Duncan MacLeod is Batman. Richie is Robin. Joe is Commissioner Gordon. Amanda is the Catwoman. Michelle Webster is her ward, and Methos is Alfred. It started as a lame ass joke over in the shortcuts comm in 2008, and was egged on by the picture on the left. Oh come on. That is Amanda Montrose (Oh and also sex.). I let it gestate into 3000+ words. It's pretty funny, but it's obvs not done. I keep holding out that I'll finish it, but I never will. Enjoy the crack.
( Please tell me that you call that the Bat-cup. )
So there they go into my abandoned fics folder. Bye bye! Hand waving.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Methos, Duncan, Richie, Joe, Amanda, the
Valincourts or any of the characters from Highlander: the Series.
They are all the property of Davis/Panzer. I do not own any of the
characters from the tales of Narnia as they appear in here, nor do I
own Narnia itself. They all belong to the estate of Lewis. However,
I dare say that Aslan belongs to us. Or rather, if you think very
hard, we belong to him, whether we know it or not.
Written for the lyrics (thanks Shadowlight!) by Bebo Norman, titled
"Where the Angels Sleep". Also, thanks to Prince, who told me exactly
what it sounds like when doves cry. Because I had been wondering...
Longer than normal, I hope this makes up for my shorter ones in the
past.
