due South/C6D prompt meme

[luzula]

Here's an interest poll from desireearmfeldt! For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, it is posted at my journal instead of Desiree's.

***Thanks to Luzula for graciously allowing me the use of her space to post this interest poll.***

Greetings! A while ago, I (Desiree) idly wondered aloud why there wasn’t such a thing as a Due South/Canadian-6-Degrees general-purpose prompt meme, where people could leave prompts for others to use as inspiration. And the universe (aka sageness) spake unto me, saying “go find out if people are interested in such a thing, and if they are, make it happen.” So here I am.

Here’s what I envision:
*An open prompt meme run via Archive of Our Own (because it turns out you can do that).
*Open access for leaving and filling prompts (though you’d need an AO3 account to participate).
*No time element; as with the existing kinkmeme, prompts would stay up and could be filled any time, multiple times if people felt so moved.
*This prompt collection would be general-purpose rather than specifically focused on kink or anything else in particular: prompts could relate to sexual or non-sexual scenarios. (I know the existing kinkmeme rules include gen, but it mostly seems to have been used for kink-related prompts, as the name implies.)
*DS and C6D fandoms would be eligible; fandom-specific or choose-your-fandom prompts would both be welcome. I would probably post the occasional public reminder of the meme’s existence, but mostly it would just be there for people to visit at their convenience.

Would the community be interested in having such a thing? Tick the tickyboxes to let me know! (Or, if you’re not a DW user, comment with your responses. Sorry for the lack of LJ poll technology.)

Should Desiree create a new DS/C6D prompt meme on AO3?

Fine by me.

It would serve no purpose that the existing kinkmeme doesn’t already cover.

It’s a bad idea, for reasons I will explain in comments.

If such a prompt meme existed, are you likely to participate?

Something else, which I will explain in comments.

That sounds like a plan, though I have a bit of bad news. The show was sadly never fully released on DVD. I believe in the US and Canada only s1 is available on DVD, in some European countries also s2 (the discs being RC-2, obviously). I heard the first three seasons are on Hulu, and I think there's someone on easybid.com who sells all four seasons that I've heard first hand are pretty decent quality. I suppose if all else fails, there's always places like Rapidshare. PM me if you want details.

I'm not sure just how much sense my story will make if you haven't seen the show, or even all the seasons. I mean, not that I want to keep anyone from reading my story! There's actually three ReGen fics in total I've already published, but most are shorter pieces I've written for comment fic-like challenges. One is a bit longer, but still a one-shot. I suppose you could understand that one if you didn't know the show, although it would help if you knew the kind of guy David is (cause, really, he's kind of messed up as a person). If you like, I can give you the links when I get home from work later today.

Sandra Oh I only know from Grey's Anatomy, which I actually quite like (cheesy and unrealistic as it may be at times). I really like the way she plays Christina. And I'm like that with Peter Outerbridge, I'll watch anything he's in (if I can get my hands on it, that is).

And also.... did I read that right? You'd be willing to write ReGenesis for me? :-O Whooooohoooo! You might just have made my day!! (I hope you like the show enough to actually end up doing it!!)

I hope that your bringing ReGenesis to the C6D party helps to build ReGen fandom. And yays for Peter Outerbridge!

Hey, teejay, is that you "NorBAC Head Honcho from Germany" on the "Peter Outerbridge Forum"?

[tj_teejay]

Well, I'm certainly giving my best, trying to rope people into watching ReGenesis. It'd be really neat if we could spark (or re-spark) some interest.

Of course that's me! I run the whole darn site. :-P Are you just lurking, or did you sign up with a username?

[ride_4ever]

No, teejay, I'm not a lurker AND I'm not yet signed up. I had done a Google search on "ReGenesis DVD's" and the top hit was your site.
