baby, it's cold outside

[livejournal.com profile] harlequin_bands has slowed down considerably, so I started thinking about more prompts, only to realize I have two whole books full of Christmas-themed romance stories. And then I remembered one of my favorite ones, which is:
When perky Chicago weather girl Marisa Langley gets stuck in the cold with her survivalist camera man, Rob Sheridan, she can't begin to forecast just how steamy it can get between the two of them...

THIS STORY IS THE BEST, OKAY? She has to do the weather on Christmas Eve on top of the news building, only they get locked outside, and it's snowing really hard, and uuuugh. The camera guy is all grumpy and sullen, and then you learn that he secretly has the hots for the weather girl (duh). PLEASE HELP ME PICK A PAIRING FOR THIS SCENARIO. I'm leaning toward Brendon/Spencer, but I can't deciiiiiide.

OH GOD, AND THEN THIS ONE:
Josh Black is so in love with his friend Cassidy that he writes her into his cartoon strip, making Cassidy think he's fallen for another woman. Can two confirmed "friends" unwrap their true feelings in time to share a night of unforgettable holiday passion?

I don't write a lot of Frank/Gerard, but I WOULD WRITE THE SHIT OUT OF THEM FOR THIS STORY. Y/Y/MFY??

Sadly, the rest of the stories in these books aren't that awesome. But if anyone wants to hear them, ask away! I will gladly spam you. :D

Spam me! After NaNo, I totally want to go back to writing more fanfic. But something that would be slightly less epic than the one I'm still editing. And I still need to write something for [livejournal.com profile] harlequin_bands!

Oh, and the weathergirl is obviously Brendon, but ... I don't know, grumpy and sullen obviously screams Spencer, but there's also a part of me that would be absolutely amused at survivalist!Jon.

*spams*

Dressed as a sidewalk Santa, undercover cop Corinne mistakes Tony Danielson for a purse snatcher. What Tony sees is a beautiful, lonely workaholic, and he'd love to take her out of disguise and help her slip into something a little more comfortable...

or

Showing up naked in Tyler's bed has more to do with Karen's rotten luck and bad sense of direction than actual intent. But Tyler's sure she's right where she belongs, and he's got one Christmas snowstorm to prove it to her...

or

What Booker Dean wants for Christmas isn't under the tree, it's right next door. Frances Kennedy is everything Booker desires...and the gift he has planned for her involves a lot of delicious unwrapping...

[LOL]

Oh, boy. LOL I always love how romance short stories are so ridiculous, yet so very generic at the same time!

I sorta want to write the third one as Pete/Patrick. Because Pete would totally do something completely stupid like presenting himself as a wrapped present, or something. ;)

Spam more, if you feel like it! I love reading these things. :D

YES, the third one totally needs to be Pete/Patrick. The angst of the story comes from the girl having "something important" to tell the guy, and he thinks she's going to say that this will be their last Christmas together, because she's fallen in love with someone. What she's REALLY going to say is that she's in love with HIM. Shenanigans ensue. :D

Oh, this one kills me:

Being stood up on Christmas Eve is bad enough, but now Valerie's furnace is broken, too. Good thing that sexy repairman is available to raise the temperature dramatically...

It ends REALLY WEIRD, though. It does not live up to its loltastic summary at all. D:

Oh. Yes. Patrick's been trying to figure out how to tell Pete that he's in love with him, because Pete's always got all these super cool and gorgeous people around, flirting with him. Meanwhile, Pete's a big failboat and wants to make some kind of really big, romantic gesture to profess his love to Patrick. But Patrick's being all cagey! And maybe he's doing something stupid like leaving town or falling for someone that's not Pete!

... huh, I may have to think about that one. :)

Being stood up on Christmas Eve is bad enough, but now Valerie's furnace is broken, too. Good thing that sexy repairman is available to raise the temperature dramatically...

Oh, dear god. I ... cannot think of anyone who could be a sexy repairman without dying of giggles. That sounds more like the plot of a bad porn movie than a romance novel!

WRITE IT PLZ. *chinhands*

That sounds more like the plot of a bad porn movie than a romance novel!

Right?? It's a really bad story. D:

Bob Bryar could totally be a sexy repairman!
