The Warren

Few things to say here. One of which is "sorry for the lack of updates", because I've been busy as hell for a while with the exams and such. Secondly, I'll be updating this journal even less for a while because I'm taking a break from Whose Line fanfiction and, through that, fanfic100 for a while. This isn't because I've got fed up with it. Of course, I might be writing some hot Ryan/Colin drabbles in my notebook from time to time, I just won't be posting them up that much. This is because I'm gonna start work on mission_insane, recommended to me by the lovely Rhi. I'll be writing about U2, which will be, hopefully, awesome. I was thinking about posting that up on this journal, but I've decided it's better for me to set up a new community, seeing as Mission Insane is more demanding - but a little freer - than FF100. Also, it'd clog this journal up like hell. I'll post a link up to the new comm when I've got it set up, somewhere on my personal journal.

Before I leave to plot my devious U2 RPS, I'll leave you with a poem I wrote this afternoon. Enjoy!

Word Count: 240.
Rating: 12, for mild slash and some "language".
Pairing: Tony Slattery/Paul Merton.
Notes: My attempt at blank verse. Might be horrible, but you decide. It's more focused on atmosphere rather than action, but there are hints to what's going on. Hopefully it'll become clear.

Prompt: Years
Word Count: 223
Rating: PG
Summary: What happens when two friends are reunited after twenty years? In the long years before, they knew hardly anything of each other, but soon enough they will learn more. Alternate Universe; may be continued as a US Whose Line series.
Author's Notes: These are purely assumptions. I acknowledge that Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and any other persons portrayed are real people, and any opinions expressed in writing in these 'fics are purely of my own speculation. It is alternate universe, in which Colin did not follow Ryan to London in the heady days of the late eighties, but is reunited a long while after. May not be specifically set within the UK series of Whose Line, but makes reference. There is frequent use of the second person, and is written from Colin’s POV.

Characters: Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Greg Proops; Tony Slattery
Prompt: Too Much
Word Count: 568
Rating: 12
Summary: Much to Colin’s amusement, Ryan made brownies and started talking like Carol Channing. Were these two incidents linked? We can only wonder.
Author's Notes: These are purely assumptions. I acknowledge that Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and any other persons portrayed are real people, and any opinions expressed in writing in these 'fics are purely of my own speculation. Inspired in equal parts by the “Party” episode of The Mighty Boosh, Melville’s “Bartleby” and Ryan Stiles’ Carol Channing impression.
This is my attempt at light humour. It… May not happen again. Please excuse the grammar, changes in tone and lapse in continuity. It was a bunny that needed to be written.

Title: Still Alive
Fandom: Whose Line Is It Anyway? (UK)
Characters: Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie
Prompt: Death
Word Count: 166
Rating: 12 for dark themes and mild slash.
Summary: It was a triumph. He’s making a note here: Huge Success. Ryan wakes up from a rather strange dream. Whose Line/Portal crossover.
Author's Notes: These are purely assumptions. I acknowledge that Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and any other persons portrayed are real people, and any opinions expressed in writing in these 'fics are purely of my own speculation. Portal is copyright of Valve software, I believe.

Well this afternoon, I had a go at writing one of those six - word stories, or short short stories, or flash - fictions that people write if they're as pretentious as me... And they were rather addictive to write, especially because you can just leave so much to the imagination while saying so little, yet being emotive and... I rather like it. So I wrote twelve, for a few Whose Line? common 'ships, and a few one - offs. Well, one. It's all a little different to what I usually do, but it's always good to experiment.

I might try and write some exact hundred - word drabbles later, because I feel like it, and because I can.
Title: Flash Slash Frenzy (The name of the series. I don't have separate names for each, yet.)

Summary: A sentence each, everything else is left to the imagination.
Author's Notes: These are purely assumptions. I acknowledge that Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and any other persons portrayed are real people, and any opinions expressed in writing in these 'fics are purely of my own speculation.
This idea came about on a whim, and is only an experiment. I may continue it, I may not.

Summary: Sometimes, only the most oblique response can be the perfect way to sum up your feelings. Such is the case for Ryan Stiles.
Author's Notes: These are purely assumptions. I acknowledge that Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and any other persons portrayed are real people, and any opinions expressed in writing in these 'fics are purely of my own speculation.
For the most part, this ‘fic is Colin stream – of – consciousness, but there are a few snippets of dialogue, however vague they might really sound.
In memory of Arthur C. Clarke. I just hope this is in as good taste as it can be.

Author's Notes: These are purely assumptions. I acknowledge that Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and any other persons portrayed are real people, and any opinions expressed in writing in these 'fics are purely of my own speculation.
Each of these drabbles is relatively short, as they were all written in the space of each song. All from either Colin or Ryan’s perspective, some with more oblique references to who is narrating than others.

Told through Greg’s POV. Dedicated to the lovely </a></b></a>ms_shalimar, with kind regards for the plot bunny that inspired the 'fic's creation.

Author's Notes: These are purely assumptions. I acknowledge that Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and any other person portrayed are real people, and any opinions expressed in writing in these 'fics are purely of my own speculation.
First - person songfic and counterpart to my previous songfic. This time from Colin's point of view, mostly stream - of - consciousness and reflecting on events within "Into the Flash." Lyrics are from "Walk On": lyrics by Bono, music by U2.

Could be seen as Ryan's parallel 'fic to "ILU - LDN". Or not.

Title: "Into the flash"
Fandom: Whose Line Is It Anyway? (UK)
Characters: Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie.
Prompt: Family (024)
Word Count: 967
Rating: PG - 13. General angst.
Summary: Are friends more precious than family? Ryan searches for the meaning behind it all, and ends up none the wiser, in a way. But, of course, he finds out something about himself along the way.
Author's Notes: These are purely assumptions. I acknowledge that Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and any other person portrayed are real people, and any opinions expressed in writing in these 'fics are purely of my own speculation.
First - person songfic from Ryan's point of view based on the U2 song, "Mofo". Lyrics (those in italic) by Bono, music by U2. I do not own the song, nor do I know that any events portrayed are real - any resemblance is coincidental.

Title: "Waiting"
Fandom: Whose Line Is It Anyway? (UK)
Characters: Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie.
Prompt: If (082)
Word Count: 317
Rating: PG - 13. One use of strong language, sex references and general slash.
Summary: What if someone really was controlling their lives? And what if they knew it? What if, indeed. An absurdist drabble exploring the inconsequential consequences of Ryan and Colin's afternoon musings.
Author's Notes: These are purely assumptions. I acknowledge that Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie are real people, and any opinions expressed in writing in these 'fics are purely of my own speculation.

Summary: One day to change the world... With pie!
Author's Notes: These are purely assumptions. I acknowledge that Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie are real people, and any opinions expressed in writing in these 'fics are purely of my own speculation.
Based slightly, not loosely, but not to the word, on the U2 song "Pride". Longer than my normal drabbles, but not extremely long. Takes place at three or four stages in a day. And what day might that be? Why, the 14th of February, of course.

( WHAT MORE? )

Oddly, I don't really feel very proud of these two. Make of that what you will. I dunno, they were just sketched out in my notebook, then typed, like the others - and sure, they may be shorter and that's alright, but I don't feel like I did them justice. Hopefully I'll improve, or figure out that they aren't too bad.
Title: "Summer Rain"
Fandom: Whose Line Is It Anyway? (UK)
Characters: Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie.

Summary: There are two kinds of independence, but they must work together in order to have the greatest effect...
Author's Notes: These are purely assumptions. I acknowledge that Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie are real people, and any opinions expressed in writing in these 'fics are purely of my own speculation.
Loosely based on the song "4th of July". Only loosely, as it is an instrumental and therefore can't be as detailed as a songfic or lyric - based 'fic.


Title: "Disaster"
Fandom: Whose Line Is It Anyway? (UK)
Characters: Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie.
Prompt: 059 - Food
Word Count: 269

Loosely based on "Crumbs from your Table" by U2.
