Yes Minister slash? O_O

...

*falls over twitching* XDDD

Is that the good kind of twitching or the bad kind of twitching? Because the more I think about it, the better it sounds.

A lot of these fandoms I'm looking at and thinking that I could totally write them as long as it was a parody - like the Hardy Boys or Famous Five. Others, I lovelovelove the source material, but can think of nothing left to write for them. Gilgamesh springs to mind.

I... don't know. I guess it's the "I never in a million years would have even imagined that concept" kind of twitching? ^_^

I'm only just starting out writing fanfiction, and my NaNoWriMo is going to be tenipuri fanfic. We'll see how that turns out, and whether or not I'll ever post it for anyone else to read! >_

I only ever read fanfic if I know and like the characters so different and inspiring tends to drift right past me.

I could imagine Yes Minister slash if Bernard was in it but have concerns that it would be suspiciously close to the truth. It would probably, also, be too close for comfort - given that incidents in the series are known to have been based on real life events and (by implication) real life people. There's also the minor detail that it would be a bit like reading parodies of myself with slash in it. Which falls into the category of OMG!WHOAH!DISTURBING.

In many cases, it's a matter of thinking 'wow, I never knew I could write THAT. And THAT pairing...? Let's try it!'

I can see your point, but I think that things based on real people are worlds apart from RPF. I think the main difference is whether the names are changed. If the names are changed, then it's simply inspiration, if that makes sense.

Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister were absolutely inspired and the books are as good to read as the programmes were to watch, largely because they were so on the ball and genuinely "knowing". It would be a tremendous challenge to a fanfic writer to match that, especially as the political lives of the characters are completely interwoven with their personalities - it's practically a job requirement at that level (and in some cases even slightly below it).

There are a lot of fandoms that I can't imagine people signing up for simply because of the knowledge and brain power that it would require. I love Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, but there's no way you'd get me WRITING for it!

Apparently I forgot to sign out. The above comment is me. ^^

I figured.

haha yes minister!! it's sooo good!! err slash fiction???? o_O
lol!!! that's the first i've ever heard of that with yes minister lol!! sooo weird!

It's not that it's been done (I think?), but it's a possibility if you sign up and someone has requested it.
