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?)

I've got some thoughts. I want some fics. I don't know how to find what I want... I could look for somewhere to request them... but eh.

And might I say, FF.Net is already invaded with Bad!fic. ::hangs head:: I mean, it existed before... but now, with the new movie... ::sigh:: MORE. I mean, Batman has a section under movies, as it should, since they're so different... (even the marvelous Batman Begins can't follow canon EXACTLY. Heck, even the COMICS don't follow canon all the time. So... BUT, one of the fics actually has a summary that says it is based off a performance at an amusement park.

Just gonna let you mull that over.

Yeah.

Also, I find it evil that the Batman comics section does not have the nifty choose-a-character feature. As there are 52 pages of fics. Hmph.

Also, discovered there is a "Bible" section of FF.Net.... Does this strike anyone else as... a bit... odd? And... disturbing?

Also, a bit of nifty trivia for you. The character Harley Quinn? The Joker's sidekick? Was created for the cartoon. Was such a success she wound up being written into the comics and was featured as the arch nemesis on the TV show Birds of Prey which didn't last a whole season, much to my chagrin... despite how horribly it mangled canon. But still.

Yes, I am a fountain of useless knowledge and trivia. Bow down. Booyah.

So. Here are some things I want in a Batman fanfic. In random order.

-Alfred. His thoughts on Bruce's life's work and later, on Dick's. It's got to be hard... he must feel like a father to them... Anyway, something about Alfred, centered on Alfred... along those lines.

-What if's... I like them. They make me think. "5 things" fics... I want those, too.

I mean... what if Bruce had never taken in Dick Grayson? What if his parents had lived? What if he had given up Batman after the first time? What if there never WAS a first time? What if Bruce had adopted Dick early on, instead of waiting until he was an adult? What if Dick was Bruce's REAL son? What if Bruce got married?

I'm interested.

And now my night has been disrupted and I am tired and going to bed.
