AU writing meme

I have a lot of things I should be writing (and also being careful about not writing too much, self) but, what the hell, I have finished my epic Runaway Tales/Unconventional Courtship rough draft (the wretched thing is 20,000 words long) and I did manage to type up the ending of that TARDIS/Sapphire/Silver/Steel WIP, so, totally ignoring my ficathon and leftover [community profile] fandom_stocking things, here goes:

Give me a character/pairing and I will write snippets of ten different alternate universes for it. One line, ten lines, a ficlet if you're lucky.

Wild West
Coffee Shop
Shapeshifters
Pirates
. . . In SPACE!!
Born Another Gender
Schoolfic
Police/Firefighters
Urban Fantasy
Regency


We'll see what happens. (If my brain collapses and what happens is no words at all, I apologise in advance.) Also, I altered the meme. I thought if I came up with one AU for 'harem' it'd be a miracle, let alone doing it several times over. And I'm never totally sure what Cyberpunk means.)

I particularly like the "Born Another Gender" and "Urban Fantasy" ones.

Oh, these are all lovely! I particularly like the Wild West one (quite a feat, considering that I don't usually get on with Westerns), the urban fantasy one and the Regency one (Liz as a bluestocking!). Thank you! :D

I know what you mean! The only Westerns that have ever really held my attention are the comedy ones, otherwise I have trouble paying attention...

Unless it's a space western type thing, of course, but they're a breed of their own!
