A fine meme stolen from shananaginWhen you see this, post an excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.

I actually have a ton of WIPs, mostly because I tend to jot down every great dialogue exchange or idea that I get, but not all of them end up becoming a real WIP or full-fledged fic. I also occasionally will write something that I think sounds wonderful, but it ends up being scrapped in favor of something better or the story changes so that it no longer fits, and I save these little discarded paragraphs, too. So I'm actually not including these random snippets here -- only those things that can actually be considered a work-in-progress with a solid idea behind them (in other words, something that I do intend to finish in some form or fashion at some point).

( In an alternate universe, there was murder (the killing kind) and slash (the gay kind)! )

( Responsible boyfriends provide the condoms! )
( Hal: your ex is on to you. )
( Guy is a good tipper )( Mike and Teddy, sittin' in a tree )( Kyle's passionate man-love for Hal, and also Oompa Loompas )

 

( Skeets: not a doorknob or a metal kazoo )( Guy and Kyle pick out curtains )( Bea/Guy and angry sex )( Joe Gardner is a bad bad man. )

( Breaking up with Ollie )

 There are more than this, but I think I better stop there for now. That's a lot of stuff. If there's anything in particular that really interests you, or if you have any cool ideas for them, please tell me. I really need to start paring down the WIP pile.

 Title: Lucky
Author: Duskdog
Claim: Guy Gardner
Characters/Pairing: Guy, Kilowog, Arisia, Stupidcat (Kilowog/Arisia will be the pairing du jour. Would you like a salad with that?)
Rating: R (language, sexual innuendo, etc.)
Word Count: 4,305
Prompt: Late Hours (T07; P31)
Continuity: An hour or two after aranel_took's Tabhair póg dom, is Éireannach mé (Kiss me, I'm Irish)
Summary: The St. Patrick's Day party on Oa is over, and Guy and Kilowog are drunk and alone in the bar. Man-talk time!
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em, except for Stupidcat, who owns me.
Author's Notes/Warnings: Kiss Guy's cat. He's Irish. And please suppress this uncontrollable urge that I have to write Kilowog/Arisia porn. Written for bradygirl_12's 2008 DCU Fic/Art St. Patrick's Day Challenge.

 

( The first (annual!) Oan St. Patrick's Day party was over, and the bar was quiet. )

 Title: Alive
Author: Duskdog
Claim: Guy Gardner
Characters/Pairing: Guy, Arisia
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,430
Prompt: Death (T12; P17)
Continuity: Sometime after Arisia and the Lost Lanterns return in Green Lantern, vol 4 #12, but before the Sinestro Corps War.
Summary: How do you say you're sorry for burying someone alive?
Disclaimer: DC owns 'em.
Author's Notes/Warnings: I can't believe that Arisia and Guy haven't had one single panel of real interaction since Arisia's return! They were close. Major Force killed her to get to Guy (Major Force's modus operandi never changes, does it?) in Guy Gardner: Warrior #43. The funeral happens in GG:W #44. (Psst. I secretly 'ship Arisia/Kilowog. There'll probably be a sequel to that effect sometime soonish.)

 

( Guy doesn't know what to say, so, as usual, he says something that has absolutely nothing to do with what he actually wants to talk about. )
