Writing Meme--Is That Your Final Answer?

And the snow? It can really stop now. Okay, so it's been crazy this week, but I finally got my son caught up on all the school work he missed when he went down for the count for 3 weeks with a nasty illness. I did want to get back here and finish the meme, but this is really the first chance I have gotten. azriona asked for 12: Make up your own question. Her question: What's the story you WANT to write, but haven't yet, for whatever reason? (Or if you'd rather not tell us the story itself, what's the reason you haven't written it?)

If we're talking Doctor Who, I'd like to write the story that is alluded to in Boomtown when the Ninth Doctor, Rose, and Jack are in Kyoto in the 1300's. But the minimal amount of research I've done has told me that I have a boatload more research to do on the war that was going on at that time in Kyoto. But I don't have the time. And historical research is really needed to write a historical fiction piece. I've done enough reading to know that a fic set during these wars could be amazing, especially if Nine, Rose, and Jack are all trying to help on the side that isn't going to win. It is not something I want to give short shrift, too, either.

I would also really, really, really like to write a Doctor Who/Fringe crossover fic. I've been doing a Fringe rewatch and there have been so many times when I think that it would be so easy to cross Pete's World and Ten2 and Rose with alt!Livia and Walternate and them working for a version of Fringe Division in London and having to come together to solve something. I mean that universe had Zeppelins even, so it is not a stretch. And I've only ever seen it done by one person. There may be more out there, but not that I'm aware of. I've also thought about doing Nine/Rose investigating just what the heck original Walter has been doing all this time to shatter the fabric of the universe. I can totally see Nine in the Bridge Room lecturing. But that's never going to happen.

I also have 3 burning original novels that I desperately want to write, but until my son graduates from high school, I don't see how that is ever going to happen.

Oh, and you should watch Fringe when you get a chance. I think you'd love it. Especially after the first few episodes when it really gets going.
