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?

Combine two of those and you could have songfic about corporate jingles. Your bologna has a first name, you know.

(I am still waiting for hostile takeovers to be declared cannibalism.)

Combine a different two and you have product placement in your Converse/Nike fic.

If I wrote Nike fic, I'd have to warn for Major Character Death....

(No, I'm not surly about fucking Nike doing their best to take money away from my kid's school. Not at all. Why do you ask?)

Yeah, that's not really the fun, sexy kind of evil that makes for fanfic fodder.

No, not so much. It's that kind of greasy pedestrian evil that pays slave wages and takes textbooks from the hands of small children.
