Challenge #3

In your own space, put some favorite characters into an AU, fuse some favorite canons together, talk about your favorite AU/fusion tropes, or tell us why AU/fusions aren’t your cup of tea. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

What I love about fusions and crossovers is how ridiculous they usually are (at least when I’m thinking of them in my head, even though I’ve written less than cracky ones a few times), at least the idea of them. And usually, when I know that I’ve fallen for a new fandom is when I start crossing it with an old one (usually Harry Potter--seriously, I’ve written more than a few).

I was going through some old files and found a story I had started (like only two paragraphs started) at a FirewhiskeyFic night (oh yeah, remind me to tell you all about FirewhiskeyFic it is LEGIT the best and they’re doing another one soon) And not only do I not remember writing it, but it took me a minute (actually it was the summary that clued me in) to what exactly fandoms I was working with and now I want to write read this story STAT.

I’m sharing it because it’s ridiculous and who doesn’t love ridiculous and also because, while I have no idea how to execute the story (sober at least) I feel like it’s too good idea that SOMEONE out there hasn’t already wrote it and if so, maybe you know who. ;)

Title: The Good(ish) Place
Summary: Are you forking shirting me?!

Snippet:
Pansy Parkinson opened her eyes. She was sitting in some sort of waiting room. She had no memory of how she'd gotten there or even where “there" was. Before she had time to worry about it, or wonder why she wasn't worried about it, a door opened and an old man in a long purple robe and a ridiculously long beard came out, smiling with a twinkle in his blue eyes.
“Hello, Pansy. Come on in.”
And that’s all I wrote (JFC, I’ve got to learn to pace myself with the cocktails!) But I do have a cast of characters.
Pansy as Elinor
Neville as Chidi
Dumbledore as Michael
McGonagall as Janet
Pavarti as Tahani
Seamus as Jason
HAHA, tell me that isn’t the most ridiculous idea you’ve ever read. :D :D :D

Ah, I'm so glad to see your post (when I'm afraid this challenge will be even harder for a me to help modding because I write only in one fandom)! This is fitting: You had no memory of a fic in which your character had no memory and she had no time to worry why she wasn't worried! I love Firewhiskey! I mean the fest! :) It has made me, too, enjoy writing ridiculous things.

Yes, one fandom does make this challenge harder, but at least HP is malleable. I've put Remus is so many ridiculous places while drunk. The best was the Trolley of Make Believe. 😍😍😍
