things to do this weekend

[aria]

Discovery du jour: I am unexpectedly okay at working with charcoal. This observation courtesy of yesterday's drawing class; for the first time I'm honestly pleased with my work. Now I can't wait for figure drawing -- perhaps I will be able to do figure drawings in charcoal, and it will be a perfect storm of things I actually enjoy. I am still very much not an artiste, because my artistic talents are limited to things like doodling Fraser and Rays hanging out in the snow in the back of my Spanish notes, but that's probably okay.

Meanwhile I am about to have a long weekend! Should I worry about grad schools? Probably. Will I try to write things instead also? Well, yes. My WIP list is shamefully long, and even has a few items on it that are not due South, but today is not the day to work on those. In fact today is the day to talk about due South crossovers &/or fusions, because I seem to be accumulating those.

At the moment, there are only three of them:
i. Darryl and Fraser. What will they do? Why, they will quote Shakespeare and possibly the Bible at each other, and Darryl will try to tempt Fraser, and it might be slightly epic not in the length sense but in the epic struggle of good vs evil (or is it!) sense.
ii. Ehh, various of my Canadian fandoms hanging out in the Last Night universe. I'm sure this has already been done, but I feel that to properly be in C6D fandom I have to write one of these also. I am not sure what all it would have in it -- probably due South, Slings & Arrows, Hard Core Logo, and maybe My Life As A Dog if I'm feeling like a particularly horrible person.
iii. due South/Young Wizards fusion. Fraser comes to Chicago on the trail of the killers of his father, meets Ray Vecchio the Advisory wizard, and probably fights the Lone One with Ray Kowalski. Oh, and I think they're teenagers. I don't even know, okay.

The point, though, is that I need to know what to write. (I mean, obviously the answer is "Darryl and Fraser" but I think what I am trying to do is just take a headcount for interest. Or maybe you are genuinely interested in one of the other ideas more than Darryl and Fraser. Freak.)

I - um! Oh gosh. Well, I'd like to see Stella. Stella and Ray were, obviously, wizardly partners who had some tremendous breakup after a devastating experience on Errantry or... something. (Or, I don't know, she switched to another school and they grew apart, which is probably both more realistic and a genuine representation of what happens to them in the actual show. Plus it's exactly like what Nita stresses about in A Wizard Abroad.) Elaine would be having her Ordeal! Evil mountie whose name I forgot is an overshadowed wizard! (DISTRESSING. But also, does this make Bob also a wizard? FRASER AND BOB COULD BE JUST LIKE ROSHAUN AND HIS FATHER.) But plotwise... gosh, not a clue, there's a reason why I write mostly dribs and drabbles. Fraser has to come to Chicago to see an advisory because there isn't one further North, or not an expert further North (OR Bob was the advisory. But there are only like... however many Senior wizards, seems not that unlikely that the Northern Territories wouldn't have one.)

I don't know! But Fraser would TOTALLY be the best teenaged wizard ever.

sklfdsjdf. I was debating whether or not Bob was a wizard, but OHMYGODYES. Bob probably was Advisory for northern Canada, and Fraser has to go to Chicago because that's where Gerrard the overshadowed wizard went and also he thinks maybe Vecchio the Advisory can help him. And he gets caught up in some errantry of Kowalski's? And and ahhhh I think there is an Actual Plot in here somewhere. THANKS. :DDD
