Full Metal Bitch Prompt Mini-Meme

[lavanya_six]

So I've hit a bit of a dry spell in my writing. NaNoWriMo (i.e. the rest of Full Metal Bitch) has petered out these past few days due to plotting issues and my complete inability to construct a decent fight scene. As a way to get me back into things, I'm going to throw FMB to the wolves the masses as a way of getting used to writing it again.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the fic, Full Metal Bitch is an in-progress AtLA Alternative Universe fic based on one simple change -- When the Gaang encounter Toph in Season Two, she is not twelve, but twenty-two.

RULES

1. Each commentator can submit up to THREE PROMPTS, of which I will pick ONE to fill. Note: You must be signed in to receive a fill. No anonymous requests. 

2. All prompts must be set in the FMB!Verse.

3. In addition to writing "missing scenes" from Full Metal Bitch, I'll also do AUs to the fic if requested. Please remember that the more specific/complex your request, the harder it will be for me to write and thus the less likely I am to fill it. 

4. Please do not request anything set at any point in Season 2 between episode 2x07 ("Zuko Alone") and episode 2x20 ("The Crossroads of Destiny") All that will eventually be covered in the actual fic itself. 


Requests Made: 4/5
Requests Filled: 3/4

Neat perspective choice. I can totally buy FMB Toph leading to this kind of situation, especially if she's trying to style herself as some kind of worldwise guardian. Depending on Korra's personality, that could lead to some awesome conflict.

Now I want to see Evil Toph versus Anti-Hero Korra. Whoever wins, we lose. Maybe I'll write that someday. :D

The weird thing was, it turned out FMB!Toph went through the Iron Man character arc in reverse. She started out as the armored Big Damn Hero, then became the'merchant of death. And she probably does style herself as making the world safer... Peace Through Superior Firepower.

The idea for this drabble actually came from an old plot tribble I had written up on the Spacebattles forum, with an elderly Sokka and corrupt Toph waging a private little war for control of Republic City while still carrying on their friendship on the side. It meshed pretty well with the FMBverse. http://forums.spacebattles.com/showpost.php?p=5002825&postcount=5697


(You should totally write that! Once we actually know something about Korra, that is...)
