burntcopperNano research time. Gah. Oh my FSM, this'll be year 10...
Pretty sure I'll be doing the Merlin/Narnia crossover. Partially because fight scenes and I think I can get a plot out of it. Slightly scared of writing the Merlin lot since I never have. My other options are the ex-QAF valet fic, and Ianto joins TW3 pre-Canary Wharf. (Girl!Soldier in Peninsula War I can't summon up any enthusiasm for right now.)
Merlin/Narnia : correlates w/beginning of PC. IE, Susan's horn goes off but they go the wrong way and end up in Camelot, post S2. pre-war on borders sitch. Peter enrolls in the knights, Edmund probs in squire position as I'm not sure he's old enough yet, and I unleash Susan and Lucy on the unsuspecting. Lots of interaction possibilities, monarchy issues, magic stuff, fight scenes. My main problem is a) figuring what bits of medieval history I need to research - my Golden Age Narnia is approx C12-13, which sort of correlates with Merlin's fantasy medieval scattershot. I think I'd need some C6 and then go on from there. Day-to-day and fighting research. Not to mention desperately trying not to have Merlin S3 screw with my head.
Ex-QAF valet fic Taz, stop laughing. I can see you. This started as Stuart + Vince valet fic, where Hazel married rich, Stuart's family lost their money in 1929, Stuart re-appears when he hauls a very drunken Vince home one night. Vince gives him the spare room, Stuart gradually takes over valet duties w/oblivious Vince. I have no idea whether this is romance or not. Not sure how much mileage I'd get out of it, though. It's called the ex-QAF fic because when I started writing coherent snippets, Stuart was very firmly himself, Hazel was Hazel, but Vince was *definitely* not Vince because when you make him upper-class twit he's not Vince. Plus, er, valet fic 2 years running may be taking the piss.
Ianto joins TW3 pre-Canary Wharf Yvonne punts Ianto to Cardiff to keep an eye on TW3. Everyone in Cardiff knows this. Cue seeing how the power shifts would develop, the relationship with Jack, no Lisa, no Gwen or PC Andy, Susie, Ianto's family and being forced back to sodding Cardiff, the Ghost Shift affecting the Rift... This one's actually pretty interesting, but I really fell out of writing Torchwood and would have to get back into mindset.
Opinions?
