help. literary help. fannish help. please. help.
I am--blocked.
Writer's block. Not just any writer's block either, but the kind that also does not allow random porn snippets. Nothing. Nada. It is liken unto a great, blank wall of--something bad. An edifice. Okay, you see that? I can't even metaphor. At least before I could do it badly and with great energy. Now, not so much. It is a dark, dark time.
So.
Violence helps. Randomly, since this is the one closest to finished: A History of Violence'verse*, Lorne POV. What would be fun and deeply, deeply bloody to write? I'll do--er, at least three of them, minimum 1000 words. Episode-related would be very very fun.
miss_porcupine, for your patience, your good humor in letting me borrow your Lorne, and for the thing where I am almost done with Teacher's Pet 10 and still freaking blocked, one guaranteed for you separately, and I'll even finish it by Friday or die trying.
*backstory to Crimes Against Humanity, the one with all the crazy and the death and the porn and whatnot.

From:Wow...that's just...I don't know what to say to you in this sad and painful time. Just stay strong, and remember, all of us are right behind you, cheering you on, lighting candles and saying prayers to the porn snippet gods. This too shall pass. *blinks back tears*

From:Here my suggestion: Episode related "Common ground". What do Lorne and Bates (and the rest of John's kids incl. Rodney) do to Kolya or his men after John manages to free himself. For the sake of blood and torture you can asume that Kolya doesn't manage to escape or if he does that they hunt him down and well...
Another episode that I'd love to see is in this universe is "The Storm/The Eye" (supposing the first doesn't inspire you).
Yeah, I'm dying for CaH!John to meet Kolya, they might even get along :)
*sends inspiration your way*

From:Conversion! Evil!Blue!John! Blood on the walls! There is no bad here!
or
What Should Have Happened in "Irresistible" when Lucius tried to drug the team. Bonus points for torture; Carson tries to use the drug instead of the implants?

From:Is Kavanagh still in this 'verse? If so, how about he screws up some piece of Ancient tech so that McKay is knocked unconscious, and Sheppard doesn't want to spare the time for discipline himself while Rodney's not awake to watch, so he assigns the task to Lorne, with the caveat that he can't kill Kavanagh or break any bones (Sheppard's saving that for Rodney's pleasure), but anything else is encouraged (rape, psychological torture, bag of oranges, the works).
If Kavanagh's not available, feel free to pick on another hapless scientist in Rodney's group.
If, you know, this sparks something for you.

From:If you want an episode, The Lost Boys/The Hive because Lorne would be canvassing planets for intel. Or Critical Mass, since that's the same thing except inside the city. Or Coup D'Etat because it's Lorne getting captured and possibly being all bad-ass before it happens. Or SG-1's The Road Not Taken, but that universe is already blown to hell....
Not-episode: Lorne's first time out with Sheppard's crew. The first time he's bruised and battered and covered in blood and he can't even pretend it's in service to his country or his planet anymore.

From:Can I confess to being a little intrigued by this Cam? Jealousy and pride doth runneth over with him. The good soldier who knows he'll never be good enough and it sours him.

From:Also? I am throwing my votes in for any Kolya episode. And then there is Teer.... John having to hold it together without Rodney... And not kill all the inhabitants of the cloister. :: Bounce :: Honestly? write what makes you feel better. I will read it all.

From:Let's see...maybe...*checks comments* Oh, hey, "Epiphany"! Seriously, John would go even crazier stuck there...unless the village isn't necessarily there because they want to Ascend...
I hope your brain juices start pumping again!

From:Lost Boys is a great choice too, cause - wow. Just think of all the possible mayhem if CaH's John has to go to the wall to protect McKay. Especially McKay on enzyme crack.
Another option? Grace Under Pressure. Not so much for the potential violence (though the thought of all the ways that Zelenka could be forced to go *is* fun), but for the political possibilities. Would Weir leap at the chance to sieze control?
Good luck, and gods let the porn continue.
