So I was reading the paper today
Nov. 5th, 2004 06:02 pmThe article was about crooked cops, basically.
And it made me think.
"Partners who fall in love" is a tried and true...genre? of slashdom (of anythingdom, really) but the cops are ALWAYS homicide. At least, offhand I can't think of any time they haven't been homicide.
I think it'd be interesting if the cops were internal affairs. Wouldn't that be cool? Do those guys work in partners? I assume so, but we all know what happens when you do that. But I think it'd be neat if cops A and B worked for IA, and they were investigating Cop X, whom cops A had a thing for - or develops a thing for as the story progresses. Yeah, that'd be more interesting. Only, the whole time, B has a thing for A, and doesn't like what he's noticing about A and X. And X the whole time is crooked cop only b/c he has to be - blackmail or some such? Eh, would have to be better than that (and showing yet again my penchant for villians that aren't Completely Evil) And he is developing feelings for Cop A, all the while trying *not* to get found out. And then in the end, it turns out B was the mastermind the whole time and was trying to off X for various and sundry reasons, and only turns nastier when he realizes X is slowly but surely stealing his man.
Actually, now that I think about it this had probably already been made into a movie. Except that one of them was undoubtedly an Obligatory Stupid Chick, thereby ruinig the movie entirely.
This is seriously how my mind works. Now do you see why I get nothing done?
P.S. I'm not writing this. I was just saying it'd be cool.

Oh, good. Tag, you're it.

So we'll be getting to that one then. Once I get Aidenn out of my head.

Date: 2004-11-05 11:32 pm (UTC)As long as you're working on *something* I don't care what it is. Though I have a strong pref for Generals, Sexy Story, X's enemies, and of course the Horseman.
Hurry it up all already. I'm tired of all this school shit.

Date: 2004-11-05 11:42 pm (UTC)General's is too fucked up and needs much sorting out.
Sexy Story I have to rewrite to fit into Chaptered length.
And Herald's Game I write as it comes to me.
And you're tired of this school shit?

*pouts* Excuses, excuses...
Erm...you're almost done with it?

Date: 2004-11-05 11:52 pm (UTC)Otherwise, those last two are more or less stacked.
Except for the whole "writing them" part. [heart]

Date: 2004-11-06 06:46 am (UTC)And I'm pretty certain Trick would cause them much bodily harm if they even thought about attempting such a thing with X.
I could probably pull something together though. Must think on it...

Date: 2004-11-06 07:06 am (UTC)Just a random comment showing my selective attention, but I told Meg that I'd create a character called "Tricks" just because she likes to say "how's tricks?" as a greeting. :P He's somewhere in my head, I think. And would you kill me if I begged to read your stuff? ^^;;
Mmm, yummy. <3 <3 <3

Date: 2004-11-06 07:07 am (UTC)Yeah...don't pull that shit with Trick around. It'd be bad.
But something concerning Ex and mistletoe would be fucking funny. Just, like I said, make sure Trick isn't around.

Date: 2004-11-06 04:46 pm (UTC)Mew, sorry.
Sammie has a handful of characters, whose stories fit nicely with my Lord boys. And two of which love to harass and torment Ex (we plan on doing a collab someday).

Thanks

Date: 2004-11-06 05:35 pm (UTC)Heh, makes sense. Only Val and James would mess with, not only a lord, but a criminal mastermind for fun.
It makes me laugh.
