schmericaActual thought that went through my head tonight:
"You know what fandom really needs? Stories about everybody dying in five or ten years of an influenza pandemic!!!"*
It's amazing, really. As much time as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lalejandra spends convincing people she isn't squishy, I seem to spend even more time trying to convince people that, no, I really am a fluffy schmoopy marshmallow girl!
(Actually, you know, it might even be an interesting challenge -- assuming you're working with non-futuristic fandoms, I mean. But saying something like "In 2010, the world gets struck with influenza on the scale of 1918 or so" and then people all writing that story in their own fandoms? That would be AWESOME. It works for everybody -- due South, Buffy/Angel, SGA, etc, etc, etc. Man, this concept is going to intrigue me for DAYS.)
*Yes, I do indeed have punctuation like this in my thoughts. Sometimes I even have ALL CAPS.

Also, I have totally never read The Stand, even though it has been on my reading list since I posted my apocalypse fic and Ces was shocked and appalled in my comments to find out I didn't know it.
