OH I KNOW: last weekend of holidays before classes return, swiftly followed by the exams of doom! Last chance at creativity before the demons of academic pressure descend and stare me down with their beady, beady eyes, leaving me whimpering in a heap and clutching my ink-depleted highlighters to my chest!

DRABBLE PROMPTS. GO.

Ideas for ridiculous crossovers and AUs are encouraged, as are requests of the 'set X years before/after story Y' variety.

My writing brain is less in a coherent-plot-and-sentences mode and more in a let's-play-with-words mode at the moment, so I'm thinking I'll write a few more poems. I do it very seldom, as you've probably worked out, and only when an idea forces itself into my head and refuses to be expressed in any other way. But maybe some more deliberate wordcraft would be good for me (and certainly less stressful and easier to fit in between study sessions than anything with any length).

So... what would you like to see me write a poem about?

Feelings/situations are probably better than, like, 'tulips' or 'chemistry'. Complex is good. Messy is good.

No promises, here, but it'd be good to have some starting ideas :)

Psst, in between studying haematology and cardio tonight I am going to write tiny little kink-drabbles, because apparently that is where my creative brain is right now. I'm choosing the pairings, but if you have any kinks you'd like to see me do (seriously, I need more ideas) then fire away.

Already on the agenda: crossdressing, d/s, erotic asphyxiation.

I don't even know why I like that last one so much, but I am going to blame this fic here. And it was one of my favourite things about writing take to witness all the gods (which, you know, didn't need to be made MORE CREEPY, but I did it anyway) and so I'm going to play with it some more.

Naruto and Sakura spin themselves into a whirlwhind of shared giddy joy with their realisation that Uchiha Sasuke, prodigal fucking son, loved beyond anything he deserves, does not have to belong to one of them and one of them alone. Tsunade can't smile at them with as much approval as she'd like: she can't stop herself from thinking how did you do that -- how dare you do that -- when we couldn't?

I know there was a meme for one-sentence fics ages ago, but I prefer this variation that I just invented fifteen minutes ago, because you get more rhythm to play with.

I wrote a handful of these for deutscheami and had a lot of fun with them, and I need to do some scribbling to get my words flowing for a couple of projects that actually have deadlines, and I have a few free hours tomorrow morning. The upshot being:

TWO-SENTENCE FICS TO ALL THAT WANT 'EM

Any fandom, any pairing. (Though I suggest you don't get much more specific than fandom and/or pairing, else I will just end up beating you around the head with your own prompt and wailing.)

Wow. Having a dead computer makes me actually behave like a med student. I went to my two labs this morning -- Jesus Christ, bones are tricky little buggers when you actually look at them, and I am rethinking my love of the clavicle -- and then I spent some time in the LIBRARY with my NOTES and I've thoroughly revised my upper limb anatomy and the entire text chapter on clinical examination of the respiratory system. Man. The things you have time to do when you don't have classes from 8am-5pm (this week is remarkably light \o/) and also don't have fic writing itself feverishly in your head.

Tomorrow classes finish at 11am and I am determined to be likewise productive in the afternoon, but you know what, I'm kind of enjoying this being-uncharacteristically-prolific thing, so for the gaps in between study:

Drabble requests?

You know what I write. Though if you're having trouble deciding, I'm on this serious animated-things kick at the moment, so throw me Avatar/anime-of-your-choice prompts and everyone will be happy.

(Please note that due to the fickle natures of both free time & inspiration, I am not putting my hand on my heart and swearing to finish every request this time, but...request away anyhow! We'll see how I go.)

*head in hands*

My attention span is shot to hell. I have downloaded 61 songs used in the first season of Bones, I am sitting here with my fingers poised above the keyboard and ideas dancing around vaguely, but the characters still aren't cooperating, and the only way I'll ever get to Yuletide is if I manage to release some of the energy that is currently forming a BONES BONES BONES ZOMG cyclone inside my head.

So...anyone who is familiar with my newest obsession, want to throw me Five Things prompts? For any of the show's characters, I don't mind, but I need to start writing about them somehow and this is usually a good warmup.

This icon is called 'tony & roxie do vegas' and it is my new favourite 100x100 pixelated square in the universe.

I AM SO LOST, YOU GUYS. SO LOST. OTP-ED TO DEATH.

In great anticipation of this damn perception report being finished some time within the next hour:

NOW ACCEPTING DRABBLE REQUESTS

One each, please. As Ji said: You may get a sentence. You may get plural sentences. You may get a scream of despair.

Once again, I astound myself with my ability to wake up thinking TODAY: I WRITE ESSAY! YES! NOTHING ELSE! and then make it to 5pm with nothing to show for it. Well. Very little.

*face in hands*

Looks like I'll be dosing myself with caffeine when we get home from Bell Shakespeare's Othello later tonight, and then dragging my brain and this damn essay into the wee hours.

Take pity. Indulge me:

If you had me under your command and could make me write anything, regardless of whether or not I know the fandom or if anybody even writes fic in that fandom and no matter how crack-addled it might be, what would you love to see me write?

The author makes no guarantees that she will write anything you want - that not being the point of the meme - but she might just refer back to this when she is in one of her wildly generous birthday-drabbles-for-the-masses!!!huzzah!!! moods. Maybe.

This is the coolest writing meme I've seen in ages. Borrowed from daegaer:

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

The good thing about it is that I'm not forced to come up with entirely new scenarios, just slip myself into an already-created universe and extrapolate in one direction. Sounds fun!

Everything's at mercurial_wit, though if you are really mad keen on a drabble I wrote in your LJ years ago...then by all means ask me for that :D

ETA: I'm going to work for a few hours, but all requests will be filled when I get home. That's a promise!

Holy crap, everyone, I appear to be experiencing a momentary LULL IN UNI WORK.

Let's all take a moment to appreciate this, shall we?










Okay.

In celebration, I am running a drabbles-for-icons festival. Because I would like some new icons, and I'm in the mood to write drabbles. There are many shows that I love and yet have a bizarre dearth of icons for - Arrested Development, Buffy, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy and House all fall in this category. And movies! Movie icons! And yes, of course that was a blatant hint.

Post a request and I'll drabble while you icon. If the drabble sucks, you can maliciously sabotage the icon. Bien? Bien!

ETA: If you consider yourself to be extirely lacking in icon skillz, then I am also amenable to a simple drabble exchange :)
