unconventionalcourtship caused me to take a closer look at the prompt that inspired it:
101) Montana mail-order Wife – Charlotte Douglas
Rancher Wade Garrett’s mail-order bride turned up with a huge bump on her forehead and a case of amnesia. Rachel O’Riley didn’t know who she was let alone that she’d agreed to a marriage in name only! But handsome Wade certainly aroused her interest.
That looked a bit short to me, so I went in search of the original:
Marrying a stranger!
Rancher Wade Garrett's mailorder bride showed up with a boulder-sized bump on her forehead, an unrecognizable ID and a case of amnesia. Rachel O'Riley didn't know who she was–or that she'd agreed to a marriage in name only! But much to Wade's delight she didn't want a pretend marriage. Rachel wanted Wade to be a real husband to her, and he fell for his beautiful bride-to-be like a ton of bricks. And just when he knew waiting for their wedding night was going to be impossible, he uncovered a secret that changed everything….
The woman in his arms wasn't Rachel O'Riley.
IDENTITY SWAP: Two women's lives have become hopelessly entangled–and only love will set them free!
That made me wonder whether I ought to update the prompt generator with the longer version. So I gave it a try, and when it came out with prompts like these what could I do?
101) Montana mail-order Wife – Charlotte Douglas
Marrying a stranger!
[Charlotte Pollard / the Eighth Doctor / Tegan Jovanka]
Rancher the Eighth Doctor’s mail-order bride turned up with a huge bump on her forehead, an unrecognizable ID and a case of amnesia. 'Tegan Jovanka' didn’t know who she was — or that she’d agreed to a marriage in name only! But much to Eight's delight she didn't want a pretend marriage. Tegan wanted Eight to be a real husband to her, and he fell for his beautiful bride-to-be like a ton of bricks. And just when he knew waiting for their wedding night was going to be impossible, he uncovered a secret that changed everything...
The woman in his arms wasn't Tegan Jovanka.
And it gets properly weird when the two mail-order brides who get swapped are very much not mistakeable for each other:
101) Montana mail-order Wife – Charlotte Douglas
[Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett / Buffy Summers / Jenna Stannis]
Marrying a stranger!
Rancher Buffy Summers’s mail-order bride turned up with a huge bump on her forehead, an unrecognizable ID and a case of amnesia. 'Jenna Stannis' didn’t know who she was — or that she’d agreed to a marriage in name only! But much to Buffy's delight she didn't want a pretend marriage. Jenna wanted Buffy to be a real wife to her, and she fell for her beautiful bride-to-be like a ton of bricks. And just when she knew waiting for their wedding night was going to be impossible, she uncovered a secret that changed everything...
The man in her arms wasn't Jenna Stannis.
