If you're looking for inspiration, here's a random assortment of things I stole from other people's Ante Up letters or have had sitting in a file of plotbunnies for a while but do not have time for this year:

Western AU - All the cliched, tropey fun of Westerns! Stampedes, snakebite, showdowns in the main street, and Cougar shooting a noose in the nick of time. You know you want to! If I were more of an artist, I would do this as a fan art vid to an iconic Western tv show theme or famous piece of score.

Yet another comics fixit - You know that plot where one of the characters wakes up to find they've just come out of suspended animation after a number of years and the doctors want to question them about the events leading up to the death of their whole team, long in the past? Stargate SG1 has done this, but I'm pretty sure it shows up in every sci-fi and spy-fi canon ever. You know how it always turns out to be hypno rays or hallucinogenic gas or something, no time has actually passed, and everybody's being held in a different room of the bad guy's James Bondian lair, each being told the same bullshit story? Yeah, that plot. It has Max written all over it, doesn't it? Go to.

Zombie AU - Can there ever be enough? Especially of the "I'm not evil, don't shoot!" variety where somebody runs around trying to eat the other zombies, find a cure, and avoid being killed by their own team in the meantime? The revolting humor of funny zombie canons would be right at home with the Losers.
