This is total stream of consciousness, here...well, sort of.

Okay. *Cracking of knuckles*. Fifty minutes to go. I can do this. Shamelessly ripped off of "Woman of the Year", by Garson Kanin, in an hommage to the immortal Kate. Also in total and complete plagiarism. But hey, FIFTY MINUTES! About 950 words. Oh, and that's 12:46 Atlantic time, so I'm *safe*!

Rushing to make the deadline, as usual. Many thanks to chesamus for allowing me to play in her sandbox. This is an authorized sequel to her story "Learning How." Muchas gracias, Cisco!

And, yeah, I'll be posting stories under this name from now on. When I remember to. At least, that's the plan.

ADMIN POST: The Cliche Challenge

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

The Cliche Challenge
Okay, this week we're going to do a Cliche Challenge in solidarity with rivkat's Cliche Challenge over in Smallville (details here.) "Approved" cliches include the following:

1 - Trapped in an elevator or other small space
2 - Amnesia
3 - Drunken first-time sex (or as Te puts it, "too drunk to be straight" or "two beer queer")
4 - Waking up hungover in compromising circumstances with no memory of the night before (may be combined with previous)
5 - Hooker fic
6 - The X-Files Memorial Cliche: Two people. One hotel room. One bed. (Or in our case, tent, sleeping bag, or crevasse. *g*)
7 - Forced to have sex (by aliens, bad guys, or in our case, hypothermia *g*)
8 - Undercover at a gay bar (Rivka inexplicably missed this one in her challenge, but I don't think any list of fanfic cliches should be without it)
9 - Sex change – waking up with different equipment
10 - Truth or Dare
11 - Lookalike sex substitute
12 - Sudden disability requires one person to care intimately for the other.

So go on--write that story that you'd frankly be too embarrassed to write if not explicitly challenged to do so! Write all twelve! Combine them in stupid ways! resonant8 and I brainstormed on this last night and came up with plots like "Amnesia Hooker fic!" "Drunk and Disabled!" "Hooker trapped in an elevator!" "Two sex changes, one sleeping bag!" and then, because it was very late and we were kind of giggly, co-wrote our uber entry:

"All right, Vecchio. You chose dare, dare it is," said the gunman; he looked exactly like Fraser, except he was reeking of alcohol and had two antennae growing out of his head. "You're going to have sex with that transsexual hooker in that sleeping bag, or I'm never going to let you out of this hotel room."

The transsexual hooker looked at Ray with pleading eyes under her bloody head bandage. "Ray, it's me. Fraser."

"Fraser?" Was that who he'd picked up at the gay bar last night? "Fraser who?" Ray asked.

THE END

Go to town, kids. It's Saturday by my watch; responses are due next Saturday at midnight.
