Fanfic Idea up for grabs!

I was watching the Wizard of Oz yesterday (doing that thing with Pink Floyd's "The Dark SIde of the Moon, for anybody who knows what I"m talking about. FREAKY!). Anyway, I noticed something that I think would make a good fanfic, but I'm just not interested in writing it. I've got finals to worry about! So, any of you other writers out there who might be short on ideas, this one's for you. Or, Kyle, I know you're never short on ideas, but you could probably have some fun with this one. Have any of you ever noticed that there are two roads in Oz? Dorthy starts in the center of a gold swirl when she starts down the yellow brick road. However, I never noticed before, the red that the YBR was swirling with was a road in itself! The two roads swirld together in the center of munchkin land and then go off in two different dirrections. ANybody else think that it would be kind of fun to have some fun with where that road goes? I do.... My only requirement for whoever does this, this'll probably piss off a lot of you, is if you decide to do it I'd appreciate it if you stuck to the main characters and not any of the ones that have been made up in 'fics. Sorry, I'm just a traditionalist and I'm not really a fan of Sheila....

(unrelated question for this NG, but I have to ask) Where do you start Dark Side to get the cueing right? I tried twice, but was off both times.

That idea sounds pretty kewl! "The Wizard of SP"? Shiela could be the Wicked Bitch of the West-Southwest (just so she could be killed off, of course)!

Yeah, I'm a 6"3" dwarf. What of it?!? Quote of the day/week/month <whenever I get around to changing it>: "The knee bone's connected to the something, the something's connected to the red thing, the red thing's connected to my wristwatch ... Uh-oh." -Dr. Nick Riviera, Simpson's quack extrordinaire

First, set everything up. The CD should be at the beginning and should be set to repeat (somehow, they manage to keep it going through the whole movie!). Then, start the tape of the Wizard of Oz with the sound on. When the MGM Lion comes on it will roar three times. As closely as you can start it to the beginning of the third roar is when you push play. Then, turn the TV volume down and the CD up and prepare to be amazed!

Cool! I'll give it a shot over Christmas (hey, what's Christmas without Pink Floyd?). Thanks y'all!

That sounds like a neat idea, I could try it (if I ever get the time)...
