>>1. I want fandom to have a plotbunny foster home/abandoned work amnesty clearinghouse. I want a community where you can go there and say, “Look, I know that I have written 80k of this 100k fic, and it has a thousand kudos, and 45 subscribers. I know a bunch of people are invested in it. But I just can’t do the rest of it, so if anyone wants my notes for the rest of the fic, they are on this Googledoc. Feel free to write the rest, if you want, and I will gladly link your continuation from the original work.” We need one of these, IMO.<<
Yeah, you're right. It won't work on DW, it needs a database. *ponder* Maybe talk to the organizers over at AO3? They have vested interest in fandom generally, and favorite fanfics boost support for that website. Everyone hates abandoned works; this would at least try to reduce that. I think you've got a good idea and a good chance. It's worth a pitch at any fanhub, actually, but AO3 has the best database I've seen, so start there.
>>B: I want some fic where Padme Amidala Naberrie pulls out the whips and chains, and spanks the Dark Side out of Anakin Skywalker. It can be an OT3 fic, you know I love those, but I am tired and aggrieved of someone who was the queen of a planet at 14 being written as helpless and lacking agency as an adult senator. I don’t care how Lucas wrote her, that shit does not fly in these skies.<<
Seconded. Gods, and somebody do the same with Darth Emo. That was embarrassing to watch.
