5 ways to write a hurt/comfort fic? Discuss.
At the risk of spamming LJ and being ignored (also, it's Wednesday, which are usually slow days), I had a thought (and no one is on IM to bug about it).
Could the basic "5 things" premise be applied to a hurt/comfort fic, and how so?*
Thoughts, suggestions? Rabid bunnies?
*I assume everyone is familiar with this format, as in "5 things that never happened to...", "5 times the Bar at the End of the Time/Space Continuum never blew up...", "5 ways my mother broke her iPod and my brain with it..."
...Thought: A "5 things" ficathon would be *way* too much fun. Just saying. (Why is "intrigued" not a mood?)

But . . . of course it could.
You could either do, Five Ways Character X Was Comforted, or Five Ways Character X Comforted Character Y.
For ex: "Five Ways Dick Grayson Was Comforted After Almost Dying in the Crisis." Or "Five Ways Dick Grayson Comforted Roy Harper." OR Even "Five People Dick Grayson Comforted in Various Universes."

....What? I have no idea why you're looking at me like that; is my halo crooked?
I absolutely adore this format, but so far everytime I try, I wind up with one-shots that were *meant* to be part of one. Ah well!
