Out of utter curiosity, if I was chained up in your attic (I prefer attics, basements are damp and cold, attics theoretically at least have windows), and I had to write you one story, what would you request? (demand?) Or alternatively, what's something you always hoped I'd write but know is never going to happen?

Inception story with Arthur and Eames stealing PASIV from the army and then keep stealing it from each other until Arthur starts working with Cobb at some point and his PASIV. And Eames is like, NO you can have the damn devise if you need it so much! So Arthur ends up with two PASIVs and no Eames, and it's all resolved during or after Inception job :D

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's quite clever. I shall have to think on that one.

[lal111.livejournal.com]

no attic to offer :(
but I'm dreaming of inception/sherlock crossover where the guys break in into sherlock (mycroft)'s mind ... wishful thinking :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Alas, I am not a Sherlock person myself, but I know green_postit wrote some a while back that was good.

[jibrailis.livejournal.com]

I just saw The Social Network and really enjoyed it, and I would totally ask you to write some Mark/Eduardo, because you + that fucked up pairing = my brain exploding from awesome.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I TOLD YOU THAT YOU NEEDED TO SEE THAT. pyrimidine and figletofvenice have both written something and there is mark_eduardo, but every time I think about -- the hair you see. I get distracted by Eduardo's hair. HOW COULD MARK GIVE THAT UP? Justin Timberlake is nasty and sketchy, he doesn't love you, Mark! *stomps foot*

I think Mark is fascinated by Eduardo's hair. Like that one time Eduardo fell asleep next to him on the sofa, and his hair was all soft against the side of Mark's face and Mark got the worst hard-on he's ever had in his life. Except for that time in eighth grade when Penelope Haines brushed some dust from him shoulder and he almost fell over in shock. Oh my god, and then he went and jerked off with Eduardo asleep on him. /o\

How did you get me to say that?

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

That...is a really hard question. In the never gonna happen category...I'm sure I'm forgetting some awesomesauce idea you threw out in that offhand genius way you have, but I did always want to see that Brad/Nate photojournalism story. That would've been brilliant (though invariably would've ripped my guts out, let's be honest). Ah, well...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh god, the angst story of the ages! That was a beautiful story concept though, wasn't it?

[wildestranger.livejournal.com]

Blaise Zabini meets Eames. :D :D :D

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Brilliance.

[kristories.livejournal.com]

I have a basement, with windows and a set of French doors that lead out to a hot tub/sunken deck. My basement is comfort and style!

Hoped you'd write, but probably will never happen: I've always thought about a Pretty Woman AU with Southland, but to be honest I know I can't write it and I've always thought you could *grins*.

Now I've been thinking about it again with Inception, with Arthur as uni student working wherever it is Uni students work, and Eames needs a date/whatever and mistakes Arthur as a Prostitute. I have this image in my head of Arthur being left with an etiquette coach (they end up having a great time) and yelling at Eames back as he's walking away "This isn't Pretty Woman! I'm not Julia Roberts".

I JUST READ THAT THE OTHER DAY! HOLD ON RIGHT QUICK. (http://community.livejournal.com/eames_arthur/464374.html#cutid1)

[plumtastic.livejournal.com]

Attics are cool (esp. if there are flowers there?), but I'm totally down with a belfry.

I spent the last few weeks in the time machine back mooning over Theodore and Blaise and the happy days of yore. If there was anything more from that end, I'd clap for joy, but what exists is gold...like Pony Boy.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Are there bats in this belfrey?

THE OUTSIDERS IS THE BEST THING EVER. Aw, Dallas, ruining millions of girls with his tortured soul.

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

I would very much enjoy a glorious and epic Inception/Gen Kill xover featuring Arthur/Eames and Brad/Nate.

Also, at some point Ray Person should have an embarrassing and confusing dream about riding a unicorn.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Someone wrote a huge GK/Inception x-over a while back, didn't they? I didn't read it, but I know it exists.

[vylit.livejournal.com]

An Ari, George, Brad thing in the Mad Men setting. Because I think it'd be awesome.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh, Mad Men. *sighs*

[theravenwrites.livejournal.com]

You'll be happy to hear that we got the birds out of the attic, and even (I think) all the dead bird bodies, so it's all set for you to move in!

I don't have anything specific, per se, but I would really love to see something heavily plot driven, I think I saw a spy au? Something like that, but maybe not even au. I want to see what twists and turns and surprises I'm sure you're capable of.

And I love the idea of it including a large majority of the team plus maybe Fischer? In some awkward capacity where he's moved on, become successful and because he's still a major corporate player they have to interact with him on some level.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Dead. Bird. Bodies. SO THEN I'LL GET THE BIRD FLU?!

I want to see what twists and turns and surprises I'm sure you're capable of.

We'd both be surprised I'll tell you what.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Or alternatively, what's something you always hoped I'd write but know is never going to happen?

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You totally deliberately posted this when I had no access to LJ, didn't you?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

:D

[johanirae.livejournal.com]

I don't have an attic. I have a lovely store room though...? Tis filled with old books, might be fun XD

ROFL. I dunno, er, something featuring Saito and Robert as main characters? You always write the character's pysche so well, so I'd love to see how you write them.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

For about two months I have been trying to parse together a Robert/Saito fic, but the fucker is hopeless. It makes me sad, because clearly the inception was just a big old blind for Saito to get Robert. If the company goes, Robert can be his own man and Saito can woo him.

[snowybaby.livejournal.com]

Gotta be honest. If you were chained up in my attic, I would make you write another Brad/Nate story. Anything really (though that photojournalist AU sounds pretty awesome and I wouldn't mind a surgeon/patient AU story). I mean, you ended your GK fic writing on such a high note, I feel kinda bad even mentioning it. However, that being said, I really loved the Messenger. My attic fic would be a story with angst of epic proportions. Just, go for it. Break my heart. It'd be completely fine if you mended it with a happy ending or hurt/comfort, but some of the best love stories don't end that way. I'd just want to give you free reign to see what you could do.

As for fic you would probably never write: Girl with the Dragon Tattoo AU, but Brad is the jaded journalist and Nate is the tattooed, brilliant hacker with a dark past. I'd love to see Nate as the more cynical/damaged of the two; this time he has the tragic backstory.

[deedlit50.livejournal.com]

That could be seriously cool. Sort of like frantic_allonsy's Inception/zombie fic 'Immaculate Dream' (http://frantic-allonsy.livejournal.com/120068.html) only a lot darker.

[sundappled.livejournal.com]

The most awesome and epic HP, OC, Ocean's 11, Chuck, Merlin, Generation Kill, Southland, Inception crossover. (WHAT I HAVE BEEN IN A LOT OF YOUR FANDOMS.)

I would treat you very well indeed to ensure that you finish all seventy billion words (approximate figure) ...before you die of exhaustion and brain-overload.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You have jokes.

[avid-slacker.livejournal.com]

They've been showing reruns of Southland on TNT and every time I watch I think about how much I would love to see you write more about John Cooper and the epic love he has for his boo.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Awwww. Southland FTW.

[deedlit50.livejournal.com]

I'd actually love to see your take on the new Hawaii Five-0. I don't really have anything specific in mind but I know you could do awesome things with those characters.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Alas, I have watched it, but it does not hold my interest.

[pyrimidine.livejournal.com]

THE ATTIC IS MY HEAD

I don't have any ideas :( The Nothing Happens club is definitely taking contributions, though.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Look what we did! (http://hackthis.livejournal.com/570272.html?thread=18108832#t18108832)

[soul_cake_duck]

You know, the only reason I started watching Justified is because you kept talking about Raylan/Brad, and then it never happened. On the one hand, I cant say I mind because, hey, at least Im watching Justified now :D On the other hand, Im curious as to what it would have looked like.

The only thing I want to see in Inception fandom now is where somebody takes the idea of this fic and escalates it into a full on prank war. It would be epic. I want that fic so bad, and nobody has written it :'(

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I know the Raylan/Boyd never happened. It's not my fault -- it just wasn't conducive to writing. But it's hella entertaining to watch.

[missdunham.livejournal.com]

I'd have to ask you to write another Ray/Walt fic, cause you rock at them <3

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks!

[melodylemming.livejournal.com]

Well, now that I know you're a Tinker Tailor fan, I'm sort of curious to know what you would do with the epic/tragic story of Bill and Jim.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD. THOSE TWO. When I read that book I got the "vibe" early on and I thought surely not, I don't tend to have slash thought in my usual reading, and isn't Le Carre rather mainstream, but it really seemed strong and then as it went on I was like, well he sure as hell seems to be going there. And then he was all THEY WERE EPIC LOVERS AND THEN BILL SOLD OUT HIS MAN AND JIM WAS HURT AND BILL WAS A WHORE AND DAMN HIM. I'm sorry for the shouting, can you tell it makes me a bit excitable. To be honest I don't think I could make a better story than the one that exists already.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ari loves you too.

[lightsearing.livejournal.com]

do you happen to watch white collar and castle? omg castle, neal, peter, and kate interaction would be LOLZ--all the snark, i can see it already! i can only imagine the hijinks neal and castle would get into, and kate and peter teaming up to kick butt like whoa...

*cough* so yeah, if u happen to be into those shows ;D....

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Alas, I'm not into either one, but I do watch White Collar on occasion for the clothing.

[thorne-scratch.livejournal.com]

My own attic terrifies me; I haven't been up there since the realtor made me look at it. You can stay in the library/office on the spare futon.

Oh man. See, I would have a really hard time picking one fandom, but my favorite fandoms that you write would be… odd to crossover. (Like, what do Brad Colbert and Michael Phelps have to talk about except where to best find clothes for tall dudes or what lotion is best for slapping on after hours in the water? Though maybe they could have a breath-holding competition, I don't know.) Since you're the queen (or tyrant king, or Exalted Imperial Emperor, or whatever title you're going by) of AU's, it would have to be some kind of grand multi-fandom crossover AU scenario. Or swap their settings. Swimming RPF where they have superpowers and fight crime; everyone in GK going to Hogwarts; the Inception team as Olympic athletes and managed by Ari.

Though unrelated, I thought of you when talking with someone about how Tony Stark would be closely monitoring how many people dressed up as Iron Man for Halloween. And how stoked he'd be the first time someone did a parody porno, or how the first Iron Man vibrator will leave him elated for a week

"STEVE! STEVE I'M A SEX TOY!"
"... this is news?"
"NO. NO LIKE WITH SETTINGS. PEPPER. PEPPER, CALL THE COMPANY WE NEED TO LICENSE THIS."

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

"STEVE! STEVE I'M A SEX TOY!"

BEST EVAR! Also, hai, bb? How are you? I was thinking about you when I was in the pool today and like backflip turns? NO FUCKING WAY BITCHES. :D

(You know Brad would meet Michael and be all, "I already have a Ray, you're just taller.")

[heartstencil.livejournal.com]

I'm intrigued by the idea of a Southland/Inception crossover. Maybe Ben and Arthur were friends in college but drifted as they went their separate ways - the LAPD and the military/international mindcrime worlds respectively. Arthur wonders about Ben and thus checks into his background. He is a bit shocked to see that Ben is a police officer and engineers a meet when he is back in LA. Drama ensues.

SO MUCH DRAMA. :)
