A former colleague used to say to me "be brave little rabbit..." and the phrase of the day is: "Stop not being awesome," so I'm throwing myself into Mand_r's Big Bang Madness... HALP.

So this is totally off the cuff and with about five minutes thought... feel free to give me stuff to write about. meatloaf ... hex nuts... sock monkeys ....

I intend to write: (jesus god hold me ) 10,000K of late 1980s Jack off the rails in NYC and finding himself having to team up with an odd lion-man he comes across in Central Park late one night. Do not ask me why a 1980/90s!TW maybe!Jack/Beauty and the Beast Crossover… but it’s a day for WTH-ness.
Genre: Action/Adventure/Romance?/Fluff/ with a side dish of crack. I’ll get back to you!
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Jack, Vincent, Diana, and those of their respective worlds I have to make up whenever I figure out what this story is all about.
Deadline: August 30
Posting date: September 15
Beta: Hell if I know…  
STORY WILL CONTAIN: Yeah baby. Let’s do the home game version of this. You tell me … give me whatever pops into your heads and I’ll work it in somehow… we know we’ll have to have shadowy city streets, brooding on rooftopsX2, babies, messy sandwiches, poetry, and… [fill in the blank].

HELP HELP ME RHONDA!! :)

Okay, I lived there in the late 80's, haha. Hmmm....that was the period when "wilding" in Central Park was an issue. Gangs of boys terrorizing women, going crazy. I thought maybe this was going to be the Regency AU idea. Anyway, sounds intriguing - good luck with it.

[valancy-joy.livejournal.com]

you know, I completely forgot about the Regency thing. that would have been good too... this thing sort of sprung out nowhere ...

not unlike you were talking about I had a vision of Jack trolling the park for "company" and coming to bad ends. thus a story was born! (I hope) :)

! I know nothing about Beauty and the Beast (except wasn't Sarah Connor in it?) but "Jack having to team up with an odd lion-man he comes across in Central Park late one night" sounds like seven different kinds of awesome, no kidding!

[valancy-joy.livejournal.com]

OMG in that case I can't wait to introduce Vincent to you :) He is ALL kinds of awesome.

and yes, Linda Hamilton was in seasons one and two, the first couple of season three eps. when she decided she wanted to go off and make movies, they killed her character off and the fandom imploded. The denial fics began (sound like any other TV show we know?) LOL.

They tried to replace her with a spunky redhead called Diana ... and I sort of love her character. A very early criminal profiler, she lives in a small loft and spends her days trying to bring justice by solving heretofore unsolvable crimes. And then she meets this lion-man ...

Kee-razy man ... but so much fun :)

Sweet! I can't wait to read your fic, then! I'll see if I can't manage to see some of the show in the meantime.

Look at you, being lured into the best Big Ass Bang evah! I spent all weekend listening to 80s music in the car. So I say, Jack should sing a little Foreigner. :)

oooh I loved B & B when it came out (tried to watch the reruns and had to run far away but ah well) Was a total Vincent fan girl. Jack and Vincent in the same story? oooh yum! yes please :D

oooh... oooh please tell me there will be ridding a-top A-trains? clutching the roofs of the trains for dear life? *snort* I always wanted to do that when I lived there, had to settle for riding between cars. *sigh*

[valancy-joy.livejournal.com]

riding subway cars. oh yes. that can be in there. not sure if I can get them BOTH up there, but there WILL be subway riding :)

I'm such a fangirl I own the whole thing on dvd. there are very 80s and very hard on the eyes fashion wise LOL.

YAY. want to write this even more now.

[wynkat1313.livejournal.com]

YAY! - well the trains are wide, if they squish together and get realllll cozy I'm certain that Jack and Vincent could work out some way to *ride* together. heh.

Oh wow - owning the dvd, that is true fangirl-ness! *bows* :)

Excellent! I look forward to reading the end result, should be loads of fun!
