Pillow! Easily the hardest prompt yet. I couldn't think of much of anything so basically shoehorned a virtually generic tentacled beasty into a pillow. Initially I had the idea to do Screech from Saved by the Bell, but I found it hard to start, so I ended up asking "What kind of person would put a tentacle in a pillow?" and, well, The Mattress King sounds like he could be a third string Batman villain, of the themed weapon variety. And he kinda had a reason to dislike Chandler, so there was that, too. The only people who really hate Screech are the rest of the SBTB cast. They can't stand him or the actor, apparantly. ...then again the only fanfiction I ever paid another author for had a chapter of Screech getting killed by the zombie version of Lisa so... uh... Crazy Pillow Talk, the Friends fanfiction I hold up my hands and say "I did my best!" pittwitch Thank you for your review. Drop the suck and I guess it's a lot more like Joey in high school (and present. and future.) Who do you know that you want turning into a woman? It's not Hillary Clinton is it? Apollo Thank you for your review. I hear the way to keep them on your side is to leave them chocolates. Apparantly all the hotels do it. Fairy Slayer: Thank you for your review. First draft he just threw the pillow on the bed, but when I was fixing it up I thought about the Pillow getting into the bed on its own, I had the soundtrack from one of the old Loony Toon sneak scenes in my head, thought of it stopping, looking around, scooting forward, all with the old style music It doesn't translate well to the flashfic format but I'm guessing you had much the same mental image! I think his power doesn't have to be that great. Human self delusion is very powerful on its own, much like how when you read something you half the time read what you expect instead of what's there. It's hardest with his closest friends or family, but the sheer presense of female Chandler convinced she's always been that way would do a lot (especially if the transformation included some kinda gullability pheremone for the weak minded ) while Phoebe being both psychic (she was shown hearing Joey's tune in his head once), and also crazy in the kind of way it'd be hard to control, would see through it. When she says it though, they figure it's like the "This cat is my Mom" craziness. Then, for people he didn't know well, or hardly saw, they'd maybe assume he had a sex change or that he was someone else and they'd got mixed up with the other Chandler. Stuff like that. The Janice thing I actually had more detail on at the start, because when I started writing it I had stuff about how he'd been drawn to Janice initially because of her laugh reminding him of the music of the pit, while she liked him for his flashy style - it wasn't a relationship he pressured her mind into accepting. So I figured that while it was just a case of them drifting apart in their relationship it wasn't an affront to him, and if they'd actually split up without anyone else involved it wouldn't have bothered him as he too moved on to a new mate - but with her getting it on with Chandler while still married (demons might like wearing horns, but probably not the cuckold's kind...) it enraged his pride and made him jealous and want her back, so he brought her back to him. Had to trim a lot from the first paragraphs to get onto the Pillow action. Flashfics be a harsh mistress. As for Janice and new-Chandler getting together, I think he'd be in favour as long as he hadn't heard about Ross's first wife getting together with another woman ...this weirdly long review reply is probably a good indicator of how much Janice stuff I cut, hope it's not too waffly
