International Day of Femslash: Announcement And Prompts Request

[browngirl]

So, the International Day of Femslash this year will be July 17, 2010. Last year I failed to write anything for it, SO. If you're running your eye across this, you're in Star Trek Reboot fandom, and you feel like it, please toss me a prompt or three? I can't promise anything, but I really want to try to write a story for the IDoF this year.

(Also, does genderswap count, do you think? I owe my Leah McCoy a happier alternate life, and I was thinking her genderswapped-Reboot variant Lenore migt enjoy being exasperated by a tall athletic blonde named Jenny Kirk who's got a talent for getting into scrapes.)

But maybe if Kirk felt like he was in charge-- if he allowed or arranged the encounter as a gift?

I literally facepalmed (at myself, at myself). I, uh, wrote that. It's titled "Those Who Favor Fire" and it's wrenching and... didn't end well for the third person (not that he deserved it to). I just... my mirror!Kirk is one of my more jealous characters (and what does that say about my conceptions of monogamy and jealousy, I wonder?)

I want Leah to have a good day sometime too. Maybe I'll write about the time Kirk took her and Joanna on shore leave and showed them something gorgeous and was so solicitous and gentle that Leah found herself smiling. BUT ANYWAY. I have a drabble to come up with.

I do remember "Those Who Favor Fire" but that wasn't really a gift, was it? A gift to Cupcake, mebbe (going away present, lol) but from what I remember Kirk was punishing Leah and acting out because he was upset with his injuries.

I take your point, however. His jealousy is practically inescapable.

Brainthought: ya know, a lot of jealousy is rooted in insecurity. Kirk's power (and thus his security) over Leah is expressed or facilitated by, althouigh not rooted in, his physicality. So, ya know, if his strength were diminished, and his capacity for dominatory penetration was removed, wouldn't he be more insecure, and therefore more jealous?

I highly doubt it would lead to a "good day" for Leah, but a gender-swapped mirror!Kirk could be interesting. >>



P.S. yaaaay drabble.

going away present, lol

*chokes and flails*

You know, it's really interesting to talk about ho my stories look to people not inside my head.

And did you mean to give me the mental image of a temporarily-genderswapped female Mirror!Kirk playing threateningly with a dagger and making horrible puns on the similarities between stabbing and penetration? Because THAT IS WHAT IS IN MY MIND.

*contemplates Reboot!Kirk's face on finding genderswapped!Pike in bed with his mom, instead*

Lol, ok, but just remember what my Kirk POV is like. I can make no promises that what I observe is what actually exists. It's all ~interpretive. ::waggles magic postmodern jazz hands::



Maybe I didn't mean to give you that image, but I am not complaining.
