Stolen from the flist:

I was thinking you should tell me about stories you think I should write. I mean, if you could sit me down for a day or whatever and say, "I want you to write this story for me," what would that story be?

How about that one about the librarian that kept falling into stories?

[ceitfianna]

I love this idea and could see it going in various ways.

There's the version with the children's librarian who whenever she prepares for storytime, she visits the world. That allows her to treat the stories more like guides than stories and her storytimes are the children's favorites.

Then there's the version with the archivist/special librarian who works in rare and older books who the books act more like time travel. This gives her a chance to pick up on nuances of language that haven't always lasted the test of time and she's considered a brilliant scholar.

I feel like there are at least two or three other possible versions-the young adult librarian who ends up picking up survival and magic skills due to what's popular, the reference librarian who sees dictionaries and encyclopedias the way other people see street maps and that's all I've got for now.

Oh wow, it could be like psychometry!

Yes or Jasper Fforde's books or L-space, many options.
