[info]10_quotes claim  
So I found the writing challenge of my dreams, aka write fics based on good movies' quotes. So I went and chose at random the quotes that I thought were more adapted to be ficced. Then I realized that I'd have gone and written 8 Jack/Sawyer stories out of ten if I claimed the whole fandom so I went and claimed Jack/Sawyer altogether. I still don't know if I'll make a series out of these or if I'll go for one shots but anyway, this is for my reference until I figure it out.

1."How's your leg?" - "Hurts a little." - "Your stomach?" - "Empty as a football." - "And your love life?" - "Not too active." - "Anything else bothering you?" - "Uh-huh, who are you?" -> 'Rear Window'

2.""We can't do that!" - "How do you know? You never tried it." - "Well, yeah, but I never tried shooting myself in the head neither." -> 'The African Queen'

3."Now it isn't that I don't like you, Susan, because, after all, in moments of quiet, I'm strangely drawn toward you, but - well, there haven't been any quiet moments." -> 'Bringing Up Baby'

4. "If you're found, you're lost!" - "Oh, you crazy. How can I be lost if I'm found?" -> 'Duck Soup'

5. "The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people." -> 'Taxi Driver'

6. "Don't you sometimes wonder if it's worth all this? I mean what you're fighting for." - "You might as well question why we breathe. If we stop breathing, we'll die. If we stop fighting our enemies, the world will die." - "Well, what of it? It'll be out of its misery." -> 'Casablanca'

7. "If I let you change me, will that do it? If I do what you tell me, will you love me?" - "Yes. Yes." - "All right. All right then, I'll do it. I don't care anymore about me." -> 'Vertigo'

8. ""You like her?" - "Sure, I like her." - "What's the attraction?" - "I dunno... she fills gaps." - "What's 'gaps'?" - "I dunno, she's got gaps, I got gaps, together we fill gaps." -> 'Rocky'

9. "I don't have no mama. No family either." - "Hey, I'm your family." - "You know what, when we started out, I thought we was really goin' somewhere. This is it. We're just goin', huh?" - "I love you." -> 'Bonnie and Clyde'

10. "You know, I used to live like Robinson Crusoe. I mean shipwrecked among 8 million people. And then one day I saw a footprint in the sand and there you were." -> 'The Apartment'

This sounds like fun. It makes me wants to watch a bunch of the movies you picked again. Good luck. A Jack/Sawyer series looks very possible.

I kinda had an idea which would stand for ten installments, I'll just have to figure a couple of things out. But I'd really like to give myself a shot over something long-ish. And I think I'll also take advantage of the occasion and re-watch at least a couple of these, even if probably only two or three quotes would actually be used in a similar contest. And one that I couldn't get in because it wasn't too Jack/Sawyer-ish will probably end up used with Desmond so at least I've got another figured out ;)

I'm tempted to claim Hurley and write a post-rescue series. There were a lot of good quotes are coming home and going back and feeling crazy. Of course I don't want to be spoiled about who the rest of the Oceanic 6 are but I think I could manage to start it with not knowing.

Well that'd be awesome if you did it! That's a great idea and I'd love to see what you would come up with. Anyway, assuming that you've seen the promo, we find out another of the six next week so you would have 4 out of 6..
