Fanfic ideas

[schmacky]

I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread of fanfic ideas. I myself am not a writer but things pop in my head every now and then and perhaps others are like myself. And maybe a writer will see an idea and want to go with it.

One idea that just popped into my head 42 seconds ago would be a lil ficlet. I was more like wondering how this certain conversation would go.

John has known his whole life he'll lead the human race. At what age do you think he was when Sarah decided to tell him this? And how do you think she went about with that conversation?

I always thought that was one he knew from birth. That remembering when he learned would be like remembering when he figured out Sarah's name was "Mom". From T2, I always got the feeling it something he took totally for granted until Sarah's first go at Cybderdyne. But him being told later does open up the possibility of his reaction, and for her trying to figure out how to approach it and such. Could be very interesting reading.


I'll contribute my own idea - John runs into someone from his past that he was on friendly terms with. Can be Tim from T2. Someone from before that, from Nicaragua or something. Someone from when Sarah was engaged to Charley - whatever. Just someone who isn't immediately threatening, but is aware that something ain't right here because John should be 24 - and dead.

It might be more interesting if written from the other character's perspective. They might recognize him right off or it might take time. They might think he's pretending to be a teenager, or not know he's supposed to be one and just think he looks young for his age. Plenty of ways to go for that.
