five things fic
You know what never got big in the music fandom, that I think I've only ever seen one fic of using that premise? The Five Things That Never Happened fic.
It's hard to even find a proper definition out there of what that kind of fic is, though it does sound self-explanatory. Some say the five things ahve to be related, but that's more restricting than five very different things, perhaps all set in different universes. I think the trick is to not going too OTT though.
And even this definition makes me mmmm-and-ahh a bit.
The premise is thus: write five things, five events, five moments that never happened to a character but could have changed their life forever.
Because some things would just make a good one-shot tiny glimpse into a life unknown, I don't think you should have to write every moment that "could've changed someone's life". Wouldn't they all sound sort of the same if you just put the same scenario into each?
Eh anyway the reason I'm rambling is because I was thinking about this kind of fic this morning, and I think I'd like to write one.
So when I get home from work (at about hmmm quarter past two probably) I shall try and work out what five things, and WHO.
Is there anything anyone thinks might be interesting to try?
I'd really like to write some Lostprophets coz it feels like forever since I wrote anything that WASN'T that damned epic. And by "Lostpropehts" I mean Ian/Lee. Of course.
And I just thought. CSI fic migth be kind of cool for this idea actually. But I WANT IAN/LEE!

Thank you :)
And I don't have writer's block, I have IDEAS block or something. I'm sure if I had a idea I could work with it and write! GAHARGHSTABSTHINGS.
