a thought:

[minkhollow]

So, I was thinking lately. Would anyone be interested in the Conversations With Dead People semi-plot for Halloween, again?
If memory serves, it's pretty low-maintenance as plots go. If you want to participate, you write up a dream sequence for one of your characters and a dead person in their sphere of knowledge. If not, you don't. It was offered up as an alternative (or supplement, if you want) to the usual Wacky Costume Hijinks.
I'm asking partly because I have an idea along these lines for one of my newer characters, that I'll probably write up at some point anyway. But the original batch made for some lovely reading, and we've got new people IC and OOC, so I thought it would be worth pitching to the general populace.

Oooooh. I think Bela needs to have some conversations with dead people.

Because her canon hasn't given her ENOUGH pain.

MUAHAHAHA!

Ooh...I know of a few of my pups who I could have fun with with this...

[prob-japanese.livejournal.com]

Ooo. That could be fun.

[aberrantangels]

Can one do a dead pup's conversation with the living, like Stephanie did?

[minkhollow]

I certainly don't see why not.

... :D!

[ostro_goth]

Hmmm. Might be interesting...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


*looks at Allana* yes please. Let me torture my four year old.

I am SO up for this. :D

I second all of this, I reread that plot and was so impressed by what was done and its a nice balance to the wackiness.

I do still have this journal. *ponders*

[batyatoon]

...Possibly we should talk.

[scurlock]

Oh man, I'd never read those...all incredible. Wow. Yeah, definitely, I'd like to see that again, and could easily use it...*eyes pup*

[chanter1944]

I'd be up for this, sure. Sounds like fun! ... For me, anyway.

I am not really here, but...

I have a couple of dead people in the game - The Question and Dean O'Dell - if anyone wants to converse with the dead.

I also still have Barry Allen in my head, and am quite willing to have him still be dead a while longer for this purpose. (Last chance to talk to him while he's dead, I suppose.)

[weaverandom.livejournal.com]

....oooooooooooooooh.

[sdelmonte]

Would love to do one last chat between two formerly dead heroes. Maybe make it all cracky as they ponder their resurrections?

[weaverandom.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THIS IDEA.

Wait ...





According to current timelines, they're both alive in Comics "Now," right?

I'm suddenly thinking they should have conversations with their living selves.

Or their living selves should have a conversation -- should meet and remember the Bar or something! FUTURE MILLITIMING, dude, it'd be awesome!

[sdelmonte]

Just to confuse things further, Barry's "now" is after Steph's, since he's living in Final Crisis and that apparently won't affect the bulk of DC's comics till January.

We could just have them talk at an ill-defined "Later" and forget that we have no idea what will happen to them after the Crisis. (I love Geoff Johns' work but I am sure that whatever it is he does, it wouldn't be what I would do.)

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

my pups need to meet more dead people....

especially certain ones with appts with bullets. *coughs*

[ashen_key]

Would LOVE to do this all again.
