a fic request/prompt?

Not sure if this is completely allowed but I'm posting on behalf of both myself and [livejournal.com profile] fleaflyfo.

We have been discussing a particular Jeeves/Wooster AU in which they are on the Titanic. Now, this thing would require a sad ending and I cannot write sad ending stories, and so we both decided that the good and talented people at IndeedSir might be the ones to appeal to.

We have some notes of things we want to see. Small things, but we just can't write this one. If anyone's thinking of writing this, we'll forward the ideas to you.

Is anyone interested?

EDIT: upon further review, the lady and I have thought maybe there can be a sad/happy one? There was one fic I read where there was a sad version and also a happy version? Would that be more likely then?

EDIT AGAIN: OK, so fleaflyfo and I have decided on a super angsty yet no deathy (ha) story. And since there is no death and no particularly sad ending, I can write it. Um, so thank you. Go about your business. :)

Actually - something like 20% of the first class males survived. (And some also in second and third class.) This was below the % of women who survived ( aprox 30% for third class, and higher for first class). Nor did all the surviving men do anything sneaky or pushy. Mostly survival depended on the side of the boat and the location at the time of the crash ( which in turn influenced the chances of reaching a launch-able lifeboat). Some boats launched 'not full' just because where the boat was... passengers couldn't reach in time. Or because the ship was tilting such that it was too dangerous to wait. Some passengers waited too long to report to the boats, thinking that a wreck was impossible.
(This is not to stay there were not other, less pleasant, factors to consider. Just that Jeeves wouldn't have to deck Bertie in drag. It would be sufficient for him to have memorized the lifeboat locations and be very firm about getting Bertie out of evening clothes and into a life jacket - and a life boat - STAT.)

This would be a thoroughly Jeevesian thing to do.
