Anon Meme update

[marah-sarie.livejournal.com]

You guys. The Index/Prompts post for the Anon Meme has exceeded LJ's character limit. As you may have already seen (thanks to my inability to successfully backdate posts), it has been split into two separate posts, appropriately enough: The Anon Meme Index and the Unfilled Prompts Post.

Latest meme updates:

New Responses:

• 3, 5, or 10..... And mistletoe, and any Master.... -- Multiple responses!

New Prompts:

• It turns out that Lalla Ward once played Ophelia to Derek Jacobi's Hamlet. I'm not sure whether the story to be had here is Yana!Master or Shalka!Master, but either way I'm pretty certain it was all some kind of elaborate plot to make the Doctor jealous, the sort of elaborate plot that deserves to be celebrated in fic...
  
• The Master runs in to the fake Doctor from audio The One Doctor. Lulz are had.
  
• OP has seen the 5/Ainley picture here and if anyone wants to use it as fic inspiration, they are welcome to.
  
• platoapproved made this comment and blew my mind with the aptness of it. Let's see the Doctor -- Eight, if you wish, but any Doctor will do -- being cruelly, poisonously cold, and the Master getting off on it. Oh, yeah. He does.
  
• Festive!Anon provides a whole slew of holiday themed prompts in this thread, including:
  • Theta/Koschei: practicing dueling with candy cane swords (come ON! Red sticky, sweet hands? THAT'S CRYING OUT FOR a smut fic! And you KNOW Theta's mum gave him candy canes at Christmas X3)
    
  • Any Doctor/Any Master: the Master does/does not know that mistletoe is poisonous when ingested... this can go a variety of ways, if confused, ask, anon will give clearer prompt.
    
  • Any Doctor/Any Master: song-themed, ANY, your favorite (or the most annoying) Christmas carol you can think of. (Come on! "But baby it's cold outside!" how do you NOT see some Three/Delgado going on there? XP)
    
  • And, for those of you who like a bit of crack (because THOSE prompts certainly weren't cracky) the bizarre holiday traditions on Gallifrey (not related to Christmas at all, be as wild as you like with it, maybe on Gallifrey boxing day is like a massive orgy and everyone paints themselves pink and goes our to do it in the grass... o___O I've had one too many candy canes.

Two/Simm!Master - cuddling. Because there needs to be more fluff and mismatched D/M!

Harry Potter crossover: Twelve continues the trend of growing ever younger, and enrolls at Hogwarts as Mysterious Exchange Student From Abroad (tm). The Master (any of him) teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts, tries to join the Death Eaters or attempts to create his own horcruxes - whatever suits your fancy.

When Four regenerates into Five he actually turns into a girl but carries on pretending to be male and managing to fool his/her companions. Only the Master knows the truth and exploits it to the best of his ability.

I really want an Inception crossover/pastiche, but I'm not sure how exactly I want it - maybe someone tries to pull an inception on the Master or the Doctor? Or maybe the Master uses his psychic/Matrix talents to become the best Gallifreyan Inception specialist, and the Doctor is his mark (for example, it could be Brax hiring the Master to give the Doctor the idea that, you know, he might quit his bohemian lifestyle to become a srs politician?), or one of them has the other living in his subconscious like Cobb and Mal? Or they're a team? Idk, I just want them to use that dream technology somehow.

Six and Ainley!Master have to wear each other's clothes to fool some aliens for whatever reason, and find, to their horror, that they're getting turned on by it. Either by seeing the other one in their clothes (possessive kink?) or by themselves wearing clothes that smell/feel like the other's, or just for how thrillingly transgressive the whole thing is. Or because of the emphasized size differential. Or for all of these reasons!Our New Prompts to New Responses ratio is getting kind of skewed -- as great as all the new prompts are, please remember that the meme is about reciprocity! Take a look at all these Unfilled Prompts and see if any inspire you!
