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 like your altered choices (what *does* Cyberpunk mean, anyway? I just picture Cybermen in punk rock outfits, which is probably incorrect.)

As for a character, please do Leela.

Hee, I love the shapeshifters and the pirates especially! :-)

I did look at the last one and wonder if you would have to do a modern AU! But it's an interesting question what difference that 50 years would make...

I think 'punk' is connected to the black leather everyone's obliged to wear.

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

I am surprised we didn't get him in Space - Blake's 7 universe of course!

Evadne Lannis? ('schoolfic' may be tricky, I concede :P)

Cyberpunk... my idea of that is 'sci-fi noir', if that makes sense? Bleak futuristic societies with the protagonists often being rebels against the system. Wiki has a whole article, of course! a quick read-through offered Blade Runner and The Matrix as examples.

(Also... meme sheep says baa!)

Cyberpunk - Blade Runner. With heavy weapons, MORE dystopia and the man IS the machine. Fun game to play, which is based off of a medley of ideas. Think WWIII, Post-apocalypse with cybernetics, cyborgs and flat-out robots posing as humans amidst a human populace ravaged by disease, war and famine (though those who have MORE still are pretty much okay) and you've got the idea.

Hmmm...

River Song. Or Romana.

Hey - River Song and Romana (I or II, I'm not picky)

*HUGS*
