I am shamelessly stealling Mrissa's phrasing for this meme.

I have seen this elsewhere, but phrased in terms of force, and you are all, I feel sure, too inherently polite and too cognizant of your own bodily safety to ever want to force me to do anything. So I will ask it more politely:

If you could urge, persuade, or ask me to write any particular thing, what would it be?

Stuart/Interregnum fantasy.

Oh wait, too late!

Then something gear-y.

Gear-y, huh? Not my usual stomping grounds. I shall ponder.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

I figure you know your usual stomping grounds already.

Something about Mary Stuart that wasn't a hagiography.

One of the short stories I don't think I'll ever write was going to be about her execution. (The reason I don't think I'll ever write it is, it has yet to present me with any particular angle of interest; it would just be, hey, here's how she died. And that's not particularly exciting -- even for an execution as messed-up as hers.)

Please, if it's not too much trouble.

I'd like you to write the last digit of pi.

A short fiction (or collection thereof) based on the collecting / loss of folklore in Ireland and the British Isles.

I refrain from participating so as not to receive a big, long-suffering sigh from you. :)

I feel like there might be some reverse psychology going on here, but maybe I'm reading too much into this post...
