Have just been going through the prompts/requests for this year's

rarewomen and making a list of which ones I might be interested in writing for. And, yet again, the only ones that made it onto my list were the ones that had actual prompts attached. A blank slate might be helpful for your assigned ficcer (although I personally always like some guidance as to my recipients taste), but doesn't have anything to attract me when I'm paging through the list looking for inspiration. I may love the characters and fandom you request, but if I had a plot bunny for them ready to go, I would already have written it.

I have been in a writing slump for a year or so and am trying to get myself out of it. We'll see how this goes.

I'm feeling the need to write something different. You know what that means; fic prompt time. So. Anyone who wants me to write them a fic, comment here. Fics will be at least 500 words long. Each person should make at least two requests, of which I will write one. Each request should contain one or more characters from the list below and a short prompt (theme, quote, etc). ONE request may be for a sequel/timestamp/missing scene/etc. from a fic I have already written. (For instance, I would not be averse at all to writing something more in the universe where Maria von Trapp from the Sound of Music was a Potential.) Crossovers are acceptable, provided I am familiar with both fandoms. I do not write slash or explicit sex.

Give me one of my own stories, and a time at some point after the end of the story or before the story started, and I'll write you at least 100 words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story begins or ten years in the future.

The Maiden of the Lake, Feminist Icon? A Critique, By Olivia Koudelka.is AWESOME and EPIC and you absolutely have to go read it. It was written for me in the 2011 Bujold Fest. It should be fun and entertaining even if you know nothing about the fandom. There is a "romantic" historic tale involving female suicide and lots of manpain, and a young girl writes a paper about it, and the review is epic and hilarious and awesome. (The author has tagged it as "My character did her homework and I bet the teacher regrets it.") My review: "The meta! Olivia's arguments with her sisters! It's just so awesome I can't even begin to say. And I bet Cordelia loved it, and I can just imagine the teacher's response to it, but what can she do when Countess Vorkosigan is cited as an authority on the subject?

Thank you so much. This made my day."

Go. Read. Now!

(Also, the fest is still ongoing and you can submit any prompts you want or write any prompts that take your fancy.)

I wrote three stories for Yuletide this year in three different fandoms. For each one you guess correctly, I will write you a minimum 500-word story from this list. Comments are screened so as not to spoil the game for others if someone figures one out.

vulcanreforged is hosting a kink meme--gen, het, slash, all welcome, as long as it's about Vulcans in the aftermath of the new movie. There are some great prompts up, and room for lots more! (I particularly am interested in the Vulcans as Space Pirates one on the cracky end, and the Andorian cook finding something that tastes like plomeek and making a killing on the less cracky end.) All are welcome. If you don't have a DW, you can participate using your livejournal OpenID.

The

treknovelfest is now taking prompts. Do you love the Star Trek novels? Ever want to know what happened to your favorite OC's? Want to know what happened after the adventure is over? Want to know what happened differently in the Reboot universe? Now's your chance! They're currently taking prompts. You do not need to volunteer to write a story to submit a prompt.

Looking at what's already been suggested, I'm really excited!

Characters: Luke Skywalker, Rostek Horn
Word Count: 1,653
Written For:

jedibuttercup
Prompt: Luke finding out more about Obi-Wan's and Anakin's career as Jedi
Spoilers: I, Jedi
Summary: Tho' much is taken, much abides

( Read more... )

AN: Rostek Horn’s partner Jedi Nejaa Halcyon was killed during the Clone Wars; during the Purges Rostek protected Halcyon’s widow and son by marrying the widow and destroying any records tying her and her son Valin to Nejaa Halcyon. Valin’s son Corran did not learn of his heritage until he was a grown man; when he visited Rostek soon afterwards, he found that Rostek had preserved as much information about the Jedi as he could by encoding it and splicing it into the genes of the plants he grew for a hobby.

Yes, I know this turned out to be more about Rostek Horn than about Luke Skywalker. Sorry. I wasn't planning it that way. I had it all written in Luke's POV, and then I realized it may have been in his POV but it wasn't really about him. Aargh.

Spoilers: Episode 10x19 "Dominion"

Adria had little time to spare as the only Ori—a galaxy-wide war took much attention, even for an ascended being—but when she had time, she watched Vala. Her mother.

Not current events; others in the SGC were better for spying on. No, Adria watched her mother’s past. It amused her. Vala had been worshipped, had deceived her worshippers. If Vala had not chosen to become a goddess, no Goa’uld remained entirely free of the host’s influence. Once freed, Vala had used that worship on more than one occasion to her own profit.

Adria was just better at it.

Prompt: One night at the disco

( “So, in three days time you will be sent back into combat,” )

I should be doing homework. Instead, I'm looking for stuff to write that's a) not my

remixredux08 fic, which needs more time to germinate before I start typing or b) not the SR fic that I've been chugging away on 500 words at a time. So. Anyone who wants me to write them a fic, comment here. Fics will be at least 500 words long. Each person should make two requests, of which I will write one. Each request should contain one or more characters from the list below and a short prompt (theme, quote, etc). Note that the character list has been expanded since the last time I offered to do this.

( Available characters )

ETA: B5 characters now unavailable for prompt as of 9:45PM 2/3/08. Although I might be tempted by a crossover.
