But It Would Be Fuuuuuun
Jan. 7th, 2009 07:52 pmI think I need my head examined. I'm thinking of signing up for the Cap_Ironman Big Bang fest, which has a minimum wordcount requirement of 20,000 words. On the low end of Big Bang fests, but that's a lot for me! Especially when I'm already going to be writing for my English classes.
Why do I think this is a good idea in any way?
If I do do it, I will likely write one of two plots:
a) Tony (probably while trying to do something stupid ala kill his brain with science in the latest Invincible Iron Man), ends up in a post-apocalyptic type alternate universe where he never existed, or never became Iron Man, or died in Afghanistan, and thus no one knows who he is and the world is a scary place. He has to help them fight off the baddies. This would end either with him staying in that world because his sucks too much, or this being some kind of cosmic test that means he gets his Steve back in his world. Or he dies. One of the three.
b) something in the Marvel Adventures universe that is fluffy and cute but plotty, like, I don't know, Steve and Tony have to pretend to be a couple to infiltrate a convention of supervillains and they gradually come to realize their feelings for each other are real, after which they beat up the bad guys and go on a date for hamburgers. This would have no angst, for bringing angst into the MA universe is a hanging offense.
Tell me this is a bad idea!
