"Name three fics [sic] you think I'd never write, and I'll try to write a snippet from at least one of them."

Variation from arjuna_lj: I reserve the right to request a substitute if you pick fandoms I don't write, or know.

Ugh. Sorry, too much room there for one of you to feel shorted if I pick the other's suggestion. I'm going to insist that you each supply three to play.

(And it's not because I'm stumped by the three suggestions you've made so far between you. In fact there's one among them that I have written.)

I must have missed it. Accordingly, I withdraw it — #3, unless I'm badly mistaken (you seem to have this "Once and Future Kirk" thing going on).

I was just trying to give you an excuse to write the original suggestion, since I'm not one of your "regulars". If you don't want to take it, I'm hardly going to insist! (The reason I keep hanging around is that I think that you may think the way I think, more or less, which is dangerous and intriguing. I was complaining about how all the time-travel stories had messed up the Star Trek continuity beyond the Next Generation epoch to the point that the Federation apparently became the Time Lords, and shortly thereafter I stumbled onto your site and discovered you had written exactly that.)

Good guess. But if you only know my online career you can only have missed it, as it dates from the days of paper Dailies.
