iPod Fic Meme!
1. Put your mp3 player on shuffle and take the first 25 songs it gives you.
2. Link to the lyrics.
3. Let people choose a song and assign character(s) to write a drabble to.
4. Any titles not striked through are open for choice.
5. People may assign up to 5 fics.
6. Chosen fandoms:
TGWTG, New Who, Repo! The Genetic Opera, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Heroes (pre volume 6), The Dresden Files, Harry Potter, Discworld (namely the Watch and Moist von Lipwig books.)

Please note that it might take me a while to complete all the prompts, but I'll do the best I can. As I won't have much time for fandom and fic writing in the coming months, I think this is a good, manageable plan to keep writing a bit.
God, I have weird music on my iPod. Mostly because most of music comes from fanmixes, but ... wow.

Oh, this was fun! ... even if I'm sure I got some of the tenses mixed up.
Nobody else knows. He’s actually quite proud of himself for coming up with the idea back when he was deciding to make videos. It’s not as though he could have been ‘That Critic With the Collar’ without alienating a significant portion of his potential fanbase so early in the game.
So: the tie.
Guy had been pleased about that, once the shock wore off and they started having fun. Tugging, twisting, gagging, binding … the tie was more versatile than the collars had ever been. There are still a few collars lying around, not that they expect to get tired of the tie. They’re both suckers for nostalgia, as ironic as that is.
“Who do you belong to?” Guy asks, holding the ends of the tie like reins.
“You … master …” the Critic gasps.
“Yes … yes … YES!”
Later, after the cheesy Melvin skit, Guy pins him to the bed and re-applies the eyeliner, adjusting the tie when he’s done. “Now go out there and make me proud,” he says, fingering the tie lovingly.
The Critic does, wearing his tie – and eyeliner – with pride.
Nobody else knows ... but what does that matter?

Love this dollhead, thank you! <3
Welcome! I had a lot of fun with this. (The tie is totally proof of ownership.)

the amount of immoral things happening and suitporn
*faints dead away*
Critic as the regional eccentric and petulant mob boss who is at the same time quite possibly the most dangerous man on the planet.
Which he so totally would be!
And Subordinate Excuses.
But of course!
There is never enough toppy Critic :| And I totally still blame that kink on you.
How the hell did I give you ... oh, wait ... *thinks back* That Nerd/Critic post-Kickassia fic, right?
(It seems a lot more epic in my head but only because I've put such staggering amounts of thought into it already @__@ Probably should just write it myself but I'm lazy)
It sounds AMAZING and I hope you do write a little of it, because one can never have enough suitporn, Subordinate Excuses, toppy!Critic, complex Critic, or Mob/Organized Crime AUs.

Date: 2011-01-22 03:07 pm (UTC)It just latched onto me and wouldn't let go!
if I take this for a spin, I'll probably write it slightly different.
I look forward to it very much!
(Because as much as I like Bad Boss Critic I also like Benevolent But Jerkass Boss Critic.
That's what I was going for, but I was trying to limit the word-count and all of the sudden he was tugging on Linkara's tie and it all got away from me at that point ...
And I totally wanna see him and Nerd as rival mob leaders being dicks to each other on the negotiation table if you know what I mean)
Hnnnnnnnnnnnnngh!
*cough* Ahem.
Yes, that would indeed be awesome!
The fill that bends the rules (I'm busy, I can do what I please!)

Protagonist: Linkara
Preferred pairing/other characters: Critic/Linkara
Other information: Mob/Organized Crime AU, Subordinate Excuses.
317 words is totally a drabble! *runs and hides*
“Something bothering you, Linkara?”
Linkara blinked. Oh god.
"I just … I just …"
"Spit it out, boy."
Linkara stared at his shoes. "I wish you wouldn't treat me like a dog … sir."
The boss leaned back in his chair, considering the man before him. "I don’t think you mean that, Linkara."
"What? I, of course I -"
"See, I think you like it when I order you around. Why else would you stay with me when every mob boss from Lord Kat to the Nostalgia Chick have tried to poach you? Better pay, higher rank, respect … why haven’t you gone over to them?”
Linkara bit his tongue. There were two ways this would play out: the boss would shoot him (he was, after all, a trigger happy fella) or the boss would indulge him. He didn’t know which was worse.
The boss stood up, closing the distance between them and breathing into Linkara’s face. “I asked you a question, fucktard.”
And now the boss’s hand was tugging on Linkara’s tie, and his other hand was pushing on Linkara’s shoulder. Linkara sank to his knees, looking up at the boss with unadulterated adoration.
The boss grinned and removed Linkara’s hat. “Good answer.” He tugged on the tie, and Linkara crawled after him, circling the room on hands and knees. His throat was sore before long, but he didn’t care.
“Heel,” the tie yanked at his throat and Linkara stopped, glancing up at the boss.
Then there was the sound of a zipper, a questioning glance, a nod, and several glorious minutes before Linkara gagged, retching onto the carpet.
“Good boy,” the boss murmured, ruffling Linkara’s hair before returning his hat.
"I'm glad we had this little talk, Linkara," the boss said, smoothing down his jacket and smiling down at his employee.
And with that, he was gone, leaving Linkara alone to clean up the mess.
Re: The fill that bends the rules (I'm busy, I can do what I please!)
Date: 2011-01-22 03:18 pm (UTC)But of course! There were suits and mobsters and D/s! How could I resist?
OH CRITIC, WHY ARE YOU SUCH A BASTARD?<3 Oh, this~ He totally would be a power-abusing bastard
That he would. But he is giving Linkara exactly what he wants, so he's not exactly a complete bastard ... ok, ok, he totally is, but still!
POOR LINKARA he totally should just go work for someone else... stupid attraction and adoration
'Poor Linkara' loves it. He's wanted it since he first walked into that office when he first got recruited by Critic.
CRITIC, YOU BASTARD </ incoherence >
*preens*
I adore you. Massively. <3
*blushes and beams* Oh, you ...
Oh don't worry, my "drabbles" tend to go to +1000 words sometimes. THEY'RE STILL DRABBLES since they have no plot.
It drives me crazy, drabble word limits. Sometimes I do fine, but mostly I'll go over 300 words (which is my technical limit, everybody varies) if I get carried away. Like that Leverage/Firefly crossover drabble challenge I started last year ...
Oh and I demand that you go request something from my MP Meme D: I demand it, and I will demand it with handcuffs and whips if I need to!
Whips and handcuffs? I almost want to refuse ... *goes over and requests some stuff*

Protagonist: Spoony
Preferred pairing/other characters: Nash
Other information: SWAT!Verse, where after going AWOL Spoony is officially on the run he stops at a bar and shares a drink with Nash, a private detective. Angst, please :D
Gah, so dark and scary!
“Jesus, I just can’t take it anymore …”
Nash considered the man before him: dark hair, bags under his eyes, now in the stage of drunkenness that made it vitally important to expound his opinions to everyone around him in an overly loud voice. Nash was glad he’d managed to guide the man into a booth, away from most of the people in the bar.
“Can’t take what anymore?”
“The crazies, man. The fuckin’ psychos who you can’t fuckin’ Mace because that’s “police brutality,” even after you find out where they’ve … what they’ve …” the man’s gaze went dead for a moment, then he shakily took another swig from his drink. “She was only eight years old, and she was the biggest one down there. I don’t think any of them were older than ten. There was so much damn blood … all over the walls … how could little kids have so much blood in them? Why would those people DO THAT to them?” he shuddered, and then a manic grin overtook his face, twisting his features into something that made Nash want to get up and run out of the bar and never look back.
“You know what I did, though? Once we got those fucking monsters into custody?”
Nash didn’t want to ask, every bone in his body was telling him to get the hell outta here and away from this freak, but his opened his mouth and asked “What did you do?”
The man laughed softly, rocking back and forth and nursing his drink. “They had this shed out back, with, like, garden tools and shit in it. I put ’em all in there and I lit it up.”
Nash’s jaw dropped as the man cackled to himself. “Whuh … what the fuck is wrong with you, man?!”
The man fell silent, glaring at Nash. “What’s wrong with ME? What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you telling me if you’d gone down into that basement and SEEN that, and all those kids, you wouldn’t have taken matters into your own fucking hands?” he took a vicious swig of his drink. “They’re lookin’ for me right now, I bet. I’m AWOL. My unit’s probably gonna knock down my door someday, set off a flashbomb right in my fuckin’ face … “you’re in my way, sir” … I’ll show ’em in my fucking way …” he slammed down his empty glass.
Nash wondered what the reward was for information on this man, this wild-eyed, drunk man. Soon he’d become a friendly drunk, then a sleepy drunk, and then a sleeping drunk. Probably didn’t have anywhere to crash. What if he took him home, gave him the couch, and called his contact down at the police station? Maybe he’d get more cases thrown his way after turning in an AWOL, murdering SWAT team leader.
“They’re screaming in my head … not as loud as those kids screamed, I bet,” the man eyed Nash’s untouched drink. “You gonna finish that, man?”
Nash pushed it across the table and attempted a smile. “Nah, you can have it.”

Date: 2011-01-30 03:07 pm (UTC)*hugs you* Ack! Sorry! *isn't sorry for getting such a reaction, but IS sorry you're sad*
Don't worry about this being dark, though. This is so much more than wanted, it's twisted and beautiful and ohhh poor Spoony ;~; He needs hugs like, forever.
Thank you so much! This isn't exactly the kind of thing I write, so it was challenging.
I dunno why I find Psycho!Spoony so endearing. Maybe it's because I like The Bad Guy Wins situations and Spoony's been flirting with the slippery slope for as long as I've watched his videos and *splutters* But something about psychotic-but-justifiably-so!Spoony is EVEN BETTER than him just being a villain, which is why this was perfect and at the same time awful and and- I dunno. I'm not making sense. But this is still <3
No, you're making sense. Psycho!Spoony is a lot of fun ... in fics, that is.
Though I don't think- Well, Nash is a dick but if he had seen that fucking graveyard... Yeah, some things just don't fly. Ligh'em up indeed.
Well, money is money, brownie points with the police are brownie points with the police, and Spoony DID murder a bunch of people. Granted, the people were MONSTERS, but still, if Nash is Lawful Good ... *shrugs* I dunno, maybe they make friends and become vigilantes together!
... I'm just gonna go cry in the corner now. THANK YOU THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL<3 *hugs*
I love your reactions to my writing. It's doing nothing good for my ego, but during this year (especially this spring) It really helps me.

Date: 2011-01-30 10:56 pm (UTC)Oh, as a person I agree! I was referring to Detective!Nash, because if he's Lawful Good Spoony is screwed in the bad way.
That sounds AWESOME!!!
Yes, yes it does, doesn't it? *grinz* Ack! No, have no time to write! Must do homework!
