The prompt I want at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sharp_teeth is the following quote:
"Can't even shout, can't even cry
The Gentlemen are coming by
Knockin' on windows, tappin' on doors,
They need to take seven and they might take yours.
Can't call to mum, can't say a word
You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard."
I'm told it's from Buffy, a show I have never gotten into. But regardless of the source, it's intriguing. It would definitely work well as a Kolchak fic, and I haven't counted out that possibility.
Another idea came to me as well, however. I've been wanting to write a cop fic. And while watching Highway Patrol I had the thought that maybe I should write the prompt with Tony Ferano and have it take place when he was still on the police force. (Heck, if I wanted, Kolchak could be in the fic too.) It could be a really creepy case he's trying to solve.
What I'm not sure of is, if I use that idea, whether the story should be split into past and present segments. That is to say, whether half should be while Tony's on the police force and half should be after he joins up with Baby Face. If I opted to do it like that, I wonder if the case would be unsolved from years before and then reopen in the present or whether it would have been solved in the past but still reopen.
If I do half-and-half it, that means The Monkees and other characters would probably feature into the present segments. If it's just in the past, then Tony would be the only canonical character involved (other than possibly Kolchak, haha). Tony would not have met Baby Face at that time.
And I've started the Kolchak/YGO fic. I'm liking it so far. Kolchak's voiceovers are fun to write. Currently he's matching wits with a police officer.
Oh, and I posted the final chapter of the weird Monkees fics onmonkeesfic. I also got the whole thing up on the fic journal and linked on 31_days. I apologize profusely for any brain-breaking experienced while reading it.
