This probably isn't going to happen, considering I've decided to go ahead with my Arrested Development fic.

They have a toy company, maybe, instead of a real estate company? And instead of the banana stand, it's a candy bar. (Get it?)
Lizzie should be much artsier and hippier than Lindsay; Rod is as perpetually unemployed as Lizzie and Bud (and kind of occassionally makes money via accidental sex work); Anthony is dead & Robert soon is, too.
Lizzie is into Thomas, who is repulsed by the very thought. Rod is also pretty clearly into Thomas, who would be repulsed if he realized iou. RT and Em are secretly dating. Liv is (mutually) into Rod and later Thomas... only to discover way too late that they're actually her half-brothers. Bud is probably into Liv, but he's so immature with so many mommy issues that its kinda obscure.
Anthony is a dentist who is completely convinced that Lizzie is a lesbian perpetually about to leave him for a woman. He eventually comes out as trans.
The halfway point of the first story is Liv finding out that she's the Dreyfus's cousin (via Otis). Then she finds out she's not. And then, at the end, she finds out she's actually their half-sister (via Robert).
Main Plotlines for Characters Thomas is trying to save his family's business. Lizzie wants to make a sex toy company under the Dreyfus name. Rod wants to have a relationship with Liv (rich! hot! poly-bi!) but also avoid getting "tied down"... and yet he doesn't know how to handle it when Liv is actually totally okay with casual/poly and all the shit he'd normally use to self-destructively drive a woman away. RT and Em are just trying to keep their relationship under wraps. Robert is trying to get out of prison. Mona is trying to make sure *she* doesn't go to prison. Liv is trying to get her Jill-of-all-trades career on the right track, from publishing her ridiculous Twilight-esque romance novel to putting out ludicrous music videos to getting cast in some of the most nonsensical acting roles. Lizzie is like a hippier version of Liv. She's got just as much hustle; it's just that Lizzie's hustles are shit like poorly thought-out animal rescuing, vermicomposting, chicken farming, etc. and extreme feminist-artsy stuff like menstrual blood paintings and, idk, Goop nonsense. (And, ultimately, Liv ends up the one actualizing and managing Lizzie's schemes for her.)
Anywhere from 60k to 300k is alright; I really don't care that much, as long as I actually finish the damn thing.
POV should be third person and mostly follow Thomas and Liv. Bud, Otis, and Odette and Oscar Carroway should be supporting characters for everyone else's plotlines.
And at the core of it all, this should AD-esque funny. Or, at least, as close as I can get it.
On his way to try to clean up his father's prison-warranting mess, Thomas and RT run into a young woman named Liv. RT has a crush on her; Thomas immediately develops a crush and notes that Liv reminds him of RT's late mother. Odette breaks it to Liv that Otis Dreyfus is her father. Thomas backs off immediately; Rod and Liv have to decide whether they're each comfortable continuing a relationship with their cousin. Liv hangs out with Bud and Uncle Oats. Buddy's thrilled to have a sister; Mona's jealous af. Upon finding out about her supposed paternity, Otis denies having sired Liv; he claims he's never even met Odette Carroway.
