The Drabble meme

[robotech_master]

I cordially dislike most LJ memes, but this one seems kinda cool, so I'm gonna do it, if and as I have time for it.

Every person on your flist gets to request a drabble (real drabble: 100 words exactly) from you. In return, they have to post this in their journal and write a drabble for you. Post all fandoms you're willing to write for. Your friends can pick a relationship, a story arc, a missing scene, or pretty much anything they want, unless the author has previously mentioned that they will not write it. They comment with what they want, and you write drabbles and post it in your LiveJournal.

Now, let's see...what fandoms can I do?

One caveat: Please don't ask for something that would require excessive research on my part. I'm basicly lazy, and if I had to do excessive research to write it it would never get done.

Robotech — natch. Animated version only please.
Transformers — Anything American up to Beast Wars; Masterforce too. Animated version only, haven't read the comic books. Come to think of it, I'm a bit spotty on G1, since I haven't seen the show in forever.
City of Heroes — 'cuz hey, why not?
Superguy and other net.writing/roleplaying — My characters/situations from any net fiction I've done (except for my Undocumented Features stuff).
Unicorns — In general; I'd mention Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn as an example, but as a writer I don't feel worthy.
Catgirls — In general, as derived from anime...
Kamen Rider Faiz — Just finished watching the series and movie; probably a little rusty on the details, but I like the concepts involved. (And I know that hardly anyone on my friends list will have watched it, so I'm safe. :)
Sluggy Freelance — 'cuz hey, Sluggy. Mainly character-based stuff; don't ask me for too deep stuff involving storylines as that falls under my research clause.
Max Payne I & II — The characters and their relationships.

I think that's about it, then. I could probably think of more fandoms, but this is enough.

A unicorn in Robotech.

What? Look, after what you made me do...

Oh, Mason?

That's not so far-fetched as you might think. (http://www.kent.net/robotech/vehicles/ref/rat-1.shtml)

Okay, I am basically brain impacted, I don't understand. However, I have the added benefit of being able to ramble forever on any subject so if you need 100 words from me on any subject, you are in luck.

What is a drabble, for real? And what would be required of me in return (other than wasting 100 words of bandwidth).

From Drabbleology (http://home.earthlink.net/~sef1029/DrabbleWorlds.htm):

A drabble is a prose poem that is exactly 100 words long—no more, no less. The thrill of reading and writing drabbles is discovering just how much can be said with so few words.

Being able to "ramble forever" could actually be a handicap in this. :)

What you do is ask me to write one, on the subject of your choice as guided by my list of subjects. And I would do that. What would then be required of you would be exactly what the post says: list a few subjects on which you feel qualified to bang out exactly 100 words, and do one in return for me (and for any takers on your own friends list, who then have to do one for you, and so on).

Hmm, well. Let's see.

Alright, Chris, let's see you write about...

Torg and Riff. At a Minmei concert.

Catgirls and Robotech. In particular, the problems vis-a-vis usage of power armor and shedding.

Unicorns and Sluggy Freelance, with the caveat that Bunbun does not get to dismember the symbol of purity. (Bonus points if it survives putting its head in Bunbun's lap somehow?)

[robotech-master.livejournal.com]

I don't think Bunbun technically has a lap.

Done!
