Phantom stories (meme caught from gordon_r_d)

If you give me one or more titles of stories I didn't write, I'll give you a summary of the nonexistent story.

(but if I really like your title, it might turn into an existant story -- or maybe become a plot thread in this year's Pro-Fun Troll Hoedown)

Oh, and I'll just take this oportunity to say:

"Memes" are, in the original sense, ideas that get passed down through the generations like genes (the word is actually a blending of "gene" and "memory"). Like genes, therefore, only the best ideas, songs, proverbs, and silly LiveJournal space-fillers should survive, and the rest should be allowed to die a quiet, dignified death in solitude. If a meme needs tagging in order to spread, it's probably not strong enough to survive on its own. Tag me, and chances are, I won't play.

Here ends this public service announcement. Thank you.

Thursday's Top ten countdown list:

Reasons why I want the ProFun Trolls to be a Widely Recognised Subgenre of Doctor Who Fan Fic:

Top ten reasons:

• 10. Rolly Polly Trollies in Birthday hats are cute.


• 09. If Pro-Fun Trolldom becomes a recognized facet of the Internet, then maybe we'll hear less fear-mongering about it on the evening news.


• 08. It might earn an article in Wikipedia, written by someone else.


• 07. It will make me a Big Name Fan, and I can have groupies.


• 06. There's too much fear and dread and anger in the world, today, and a pro-fun troll meme (in the original meaning of the word) would be a force for good.


• 05. Non-linear plots and stories of silliness are good for the soul.
  
• 04. Big Finish might weave some good, rollicking fiddle and banjo tunes into the plots of their Adventures.


• 03. I want a set of plush trolls to cuddle.
  
• 02. Florestandrezopretrizon is a damn fine character (and I can say that, 'cause he was created, by a whole bunch of writers).

And the Number One Reason:
I could go to a Doctor Who convention with a bunch of birthday hats and party tooters, and people would recognize that I was in a themed costume.
