BB. I fear for you.

D:

Ironically, it's partially your fault -- and I'll tell you why. Last summer when I wrote that epic pinch hit for you, I wrote 30,000 words in four days. I shit you not. Ask Ember if you don't believe me. So, I figured -- if I have a decent plot, the thing is going to write itself, just like your story did.

And I definitely have a plot! IT'S GOING TO BE A HIGH SCHOOL FIC!!! I AM EXCITE.

Probably doesn't come as too much of a surprise, this one, huh. Besides, I have plenty of time -- exams will be long over my then, and even my viva voce would be over; my nephew should be three months old by then, god willing, so I'll have the time to get to writing. IT WILL BE SO. MUCH. FUN.

I hear you! Although I'd like to point out that rough drafts are due in May, not July.

I have this idea for an actual tsunami...

I may have accidentally sort of signed up for two H50 Big Bangs. Oops?

No, no I know, it's just that I tinker with rough drafts so damn much that sometimes the finished thing barely resembles what it started out as. I plan to get stuck in as soon as I'm done with exams and the other two stories I've got on! :D

EDIT: TWO big bangs? Dude, harsh. Best of luck with that!

An actual tsunami. Hot damn!

Personally, I just want to write about bb!boys and their ~feelings. XD

I know. God. What was I even thinking?

I have a prompt table wherein I can explore all of Danny's ~feeeeeeeeliiiiiiiiings. And a h/c table for Steve, too (although Danny might get whumped a bit as well).

I have an idea for two longer stories, so I think I can manage. *crosses fingers*

So what are you planning? Is it a secret?

Dunno whether this is applicable since you're doing high school fic (depends on where the high school is I guess), but I'll make you the same offer I made Liz. If you need a Hawaii fact checker/inside source, I volunteer. <3

Not at all! I'm thinking HIGH SCHOOL AU!! I have a bit of a weakness for those.

EITHER Danny and his family move to Hawaii when he's in his final year of high school, and he gets enrolled in the same school as Steve OR Steve gets sent off to the mainland by his dad and gets shipped off to New Jersey for his final year -- and gets enrolled in Danny's school.

It all depends on the intricacies of canon -- I'ma have to re-watch the early episodes to work out exactly when Steve got shipped off to the mainland, and whether I can make it follow canon or go total AU on their arses and go with option one.

In any case, I want Danny pining after the hotshot Football captain with an IQ off the charts and a heart of gold. I want Steve being Steve -- adrenaline junky, putting himself in danger for the sake of others, saving a geeky kid from being bullied -- the works. I want Danny being the wiseass class clown, the guy who stands up for the less popular kids, who's loyal to a fault, and who steals Steve's heart without him realising.

Or, y'know, that sort of stuff. Ahem. I may have been thinking about this a little too much recently.

I seem to recognize that prompt... ;)

I LOVE YOU, BABY.

I was already afraid I'd end up bugging you with panicked cries of help at some point, so it's brilliant to know that you're offering, and you won't mind! <3

Oh, and it definitely applies. If I have it set in Hawaii, I'm gonna need A LOT of help, especially with the unique language. I'm already wondering whether there's a Hawaiian slang dictionary somewhere online!

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT.

Strange thing, this. I keep prompting stuff all over the place, and then it's stuck in my head on a loop of "yes please", and then I HAVE TO WRITE IT, because I want it SO MUCH, and patience has never been my strong suit. :D?

Besides, it's at least partly

foxxcub's fault, teasing me with bb!boys and talking about how adorable bb!Danny and bb!Steve would be all the time. <3

They would be adorable! I can hardly wait! I bet bb!Danny is a bit of a dork, and maybe Steve rescues him from his locker because he's so short he fits nicely inside. ;)

I have a feeling I will end up drawing teeny-tiny hearts around your fic when it's done.

I bet bb!Danny is a bit of a dork, and maybe Steve rescues him from his locker because he's so short he fits nicely inside -- YOU KNOW THIS IS GOING IN THE FIC, RIGHT? And then Danny will bristle at being rescued, and will be vicious in return, and then will feel guilty later that he never said thank you, and then YOU KNOW THAT Steve as the top student will be assigned to help Danny settle! And Danny will grudgingly thank him at the end of the day, and Steve will ask him how much of his soul just died, and DANNY WILL GRUMBLE AND AVOID HIS EYES AND IT WILL BE ALL KINDS OF ADORABLE.

I just can't stop thinking about how sweet and awkward and lovely they will be around each other. And maybe Kono will be a first-year that's always getting into trouble with her smart mouth? Instant Kono + Danny = BFFs! And Chin might me some sort of teaching instructor or something?

I hope it will end up being hearts-worthy!

Oh, hell yes!

And I totally want Danny to be the transfer student —*nudge, nudge*.

Because Steve is big and tall and friendly and popular, and then he starts hanging around with this short, prickly little dork who's always getting detention for mouthing off and who gets into fights with, like, entire *groups* of bullies because he just doesn't know when to shut up, and poor Steve gets caught in the middle because, well, no one understands why he's hanging around the tiny little mouthy dweeb.

And maybe Danny hates it here because, well, I dunno, his parents died or split up and he has to come live with some stranger here who claims to be family but he doesn't know them from Eve, and he misses his parents and his friends in Jersey and nothing here is familiar, not even the water, and...

Christ. I need to stop before *I* start writing this fic. :P

YOU ARE OFFICIALLY MY BRAINSTORMING BUDDY, JSYK.

I'm denititely leaning towards transfer student Danny, for all the reasons you relate above. :D

Dayum, I really like the idea that Danny's parents die or split up or something (poor bb!Danny ;___;) and he has to come and live with a relative until he graduates and can go to uni!

And of course he hates the place, but maybe it's not quite as horrible as he first thought, because there's Kono, and her cousin works with Steve's dad, and Kono and Steve are quite friendly, and there's this girl who hangs out with Steve, Catherine or something, who is kind of kick-ass, and Danny doesn't understand why he gets this funny feeling in his stomach when she and Steve look at each other; but she's just so friendly, how could he not like her, and...

I'll stop now, okay. OTHER STUFF TO FINISH BEFORE I START THIS. OH GOD. I got a feeling that this may turn out to be EPIC.

Yay! I love brainstorming! My brainstorming buddy

pkwench has only just started watching H50, so I need another buddy! \o/

Hey, do you know of good Hawaii resources? I would like to try not too have too much fact-checking fail in my BB, if I decide to go the tsunami route...

Well, by some bizarre stroke of luck, one of the first people I met on LJ is from Hawaii, and she's just offered to be my research resource, for which I'm more grateful than I can say -- but if/when she points me towards stuff, I'll let you know! My biggest issue is with the language -- because language is kind of a kink of mine, in that its proper use can make me all hot and melty, so I want to be as accurate as possible in my writing.

Oh, me too! Language, FTW!

And they use the language a lot on the show, so I want to make sure I get it right, if I use it myself —and I really would like to.

What do you need to know...I'm a reference librarian and theoretically can find things....

I don't know what possessed me to sign up for this Big Bang! I have prompt tables galore waiting for me! Oh well, with mutual support we should be fine right?

My idea is dark though. Very dark. I don't know what is possessing me.

Although while I'm here do you remember any of the canon about Step-Stan?

well. I guess you were inspired. INSPIRED TO WRITE PERFECTION. Urg let's not start talking about that fic or my heart will hurt by how amazing it was and I'll have to read it again ¬¬

HIGH SCHOOL?! good luck!

HOLY CRAP! \o/

*glomps you forever*

I haven't given my plot much thought beyond TSUNAMI! YAY! \o/

But yeah. If there's a good resource for the Hawaiian language out there (as in, how it can be properly inserted into English the way they do on the show) and maybe some stuff about how Hawaii is equipped to deal with natural disasters, that would be awesome!

I'll do a little poking around when I get home tonight and see what I can find for you.

Oh and I am LOLing and grinning at the idea of an epic high school AU.

You rule! :)

Yay another Big Bang! I have ten thousand prompt tables too, but WHO CARES? :D

Step-Stan has very little canon so far. All I know is that he's probably a financier or real-estate developer, since it was his condo project that Steve used as coercion material to get Danno to keep his visitation rights.
