A fic I want to write but have no time.

[mhalachai]

I have in my head, in crystal detail, another setting for an Anita Blake/Supernatural crossover I want to write. I even have the first line in my head. However, I'm not letting myself tackle this until I finish the other AB/SPN crossover.

Plot bunny details:

Title: La Vie de la Mort (or something suitablely cheesy)
Characters: Anita Blake, John Winchester
Premise: After his deal with the Demon, John's a disembodied spirit. Anita's a necromancer. Sixth Sense, anyone?
Genre: Angsty, character study, longish (~30,000 words)

First line:

The first time Anita Blake saw John Winchester, she didn't realize that he was dead.

If I can find the time, and if I don't get bored with this idea, I really want to write this one.

Off for lunch.

I'd read it. I can just imagine Anita and John butting heads.

That would be great! Anita and John in the same room...that would be interesting considering all of their baggage they always carry around with them. And with John being dead and everything.

Hmm...if you have the time of course.

Interesting. Yes, if you find time you absolutely must write this. I don't watch Supernatural on a regular basis but I know enough to follow your stories :)

Random question - do you watch Veronica Mars?

Now the only question I have for this fic, is whose emotional baggage will be bigger and win in the end? XD

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sort of like a train wreck :D

Actually, I think that Anita and John would get along great. They both have enormous issues about protection and family, and priorities. They're uncomprimising and stubborn and carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. It'll be fun :D

I don't think John being dead will lessen his angst any. Same shit, different plane of existance.

I want to have the time, but I have so much on the go right now, and I want to finish *something* this year.

I hope I'll find the time. Maybe in a few weeks when things around my life have calmed don a little.

Nope, never seen VM. Why?

whose emotional baggage will be bigger and win in the end?

I'm not sure "win" is the phrase to use in this case. There are no winners in that fight :P

I'd read it just for that opening line. ;-)

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

It is a great line, I have to say. I, in turn, love your icon :)

I like the idea of the line but I have no idea who John is. that may be because I dont watch Supernatural.

[askani.livejournal.com]

yes, it sounds like a great plot bunny. when you get time totally continue writing it! ♥

Oh my gods. That... that's an excellent idea! *wholeheartedly supports... with chocolate*

:D

:D True. They'd probably relate really well to each other. It would be an interesting relationship to explore.

Well, I've been poking about a couple of the VM/BtVS crossovers at TTH. None of them are actually good. They have to potential to be good - the plots are interesting - but the writing's horrible. You just happen to be very, very good at crossovers I didn't believe anyone could actually make work well. Thus the question. But, you really don't seem to need another fandom :) Even if it's a really good one.
