2010 fanfic trend predictions

[crypto]

Here are some hot new trends I'm expecting to see a lot of this year:


Aliens Made Them Stop Doing It: Vulcan couples counselors, Wraith as anti-yenta, time travellers show them glimpses of their bleak, bitter future together

Mary Shoe fic: authorial inserts of their own lovingly-described footwear adorning TV characters

xpreg: genetic testing reveals that the baby will grow up to be a mutant

Big Sang: exchanges for epic-length songfic

RCS: following the U.S. Supreme Court's logic, Real Corporation Slash takes off


What's your prediction?

I've seen Yuletide fic for Rihanna's Disturbia & Janelle Monáe's Metropolis, plus norah wrote All These Things That I've Done, which is something like a fic version of Scooby Road for an album by The Killers.

Does bandom have many fics exploring how/why someone wrote a particular song?

Yeah, I loved the Janelle Monae one. There's also a Beatles one for Revolver by bossymarmalade.

I can't think of any fics like that off the cuff, but that doesn't mean there isn't any. There is some fic set in the universe of The Black Parade though.
