Subject: Unsurprisingly, this is exactly the way to get me thinking.

Which is to say, I'm currently looking through my oldest fic, and will likely rewrite a bit of it if I find a good candidate. So far, I've decided that my Warriors/Gregor and the Underlanders/whatever the heck else made it in there crossover is not the one; I don't remember Warriors canon too well anymore, and this story is wild. Odds are it'll be a Harry Potter fic, unless a LotR fic written before I knew the canon too well works out... (Yup, I did that. I was getting plotbunnies upon plotbunnies, so I decided to write a couple of them out for myself and just not post them, which I stuck to. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I ever did really go back to see how much I got wrong for a laugh...not recently, anyway...)

So, yeah, we'll see how this goes. I expect an HP fic will get chosen in the end; there are a ton of them, and I remember the canon pretty well still. I also rewrote a small piece of a scene from one of them some months ago, so I know it can work.

ETA: On second thought (that is, upon more searching), I'm probably going to go for a Star Trek fic unless an HP one catches my fancy more when I go through them. Also, here's a quote from the LotR Mary-Sue parody fic I used a chapter of for my Permission request and don't want to rewrite:

“Your brother?” Teresa twisted around to look at him, and found herself fixing the neck of a gold-embroidered sleeveless maroon garment with an incredulous look. How tall was he?

Because, really, why not share a line I like while looking for something to rewrite?

ETA 2: Star Trek it is. While a bunch of the other fic makes me cringe, it kind of makes me cringe too much. I also still feel more enthusiastic about/invested in the Star Trek one's story, and remember a lot more of what I wanted to do with it, so it seems like the best option. This should be interesting.
