meridian_roseAs you might know, long ago, I started the 100-tales table. As usual, I haven't completed this project. So below the cut are the word prompts that I have neither written for, nor have even made notes for. (I've excluded the 'writer's choice' prompts too.) You all come up with such great ideas whenever I ask for help brainstorming so let's see what you've got this time around :D
Hail / Moon / Stars / Sky / Yellow / Orange / Pink / Brown / Summer / Weeks / Kisses / Seconds / Months. / Present / Light / Loss / Minutes / Home / Life / Apart / Colour / Truth / Questions / Clouds / Blue / Purple / Silver / Love / Pleasure / Trust / Dark / Sun / Wind / Black / Spring / Days / Dusk / Leaving / Embarrassment / Forgiveness / People
Choose a word and give me some ideas for what a fic about it might involve. Be as vague or specific as you like. I'll try and write at least ten of the suggested ideas – assuming I get that many. The minimum for this comm is 100 words but we'll see how inspired I get.
For this particular challenge I'm happy to write gen fic, character fic, and shippy fic as follows:
Blood Ties: gen, Mike, Vicki, Henry; Mike/Vicki, Mike/Vicki/Henry
Buffy: gen, Anya, Willow, Spike, Dru; Spike/Dru, Buffy/Giles-friendship
Burn Notice: gen
Dollhouse: gen, Adelle, Topher, Adelle/Dominic
Eastwick: gen, Kat/Darryl
Falling Skies: gen, Pope
Firefly: gen, River, Mal; Mal/River, Mal/Inara
Game of Thrones: Jon Snow, Tyrion, Dany
Human Target: gen, Guerrero
Legend of the Seeker: gen, Richard, Cara, Darken, Zedd, Michael; Cara/anyone, Darken/anyone, prompt me with other ideas
Leverage: gen, Parker, Hardison, Eliot, Parker/Hardison, Parker/Hardison/Eliot
Lost: James/Juliet
Psych: gen, Shawn, Shawn/Gus-friendship
Robin Hood: Guy, Allan, Marian, Guy/Marian, Guy/Marian/Allan
Smallville: gen, Chloe, Zod, Lionel, Kara; Tess/Zod, Clark/Zod, Lionel/Lillian, Chloe/Oliver, Tess Luthor/Clark Luthor, Chloe/Clark-friendship
The Borgias: gen, Cesare, Lucrezia, Cesare/Lucrezia
The Good Wife: Kalinda, Cary, Cary/Kalinda, Cary/Alica-friendship, Alicia/Kalinda-friendship, Alicia/Owen-sibling bonding
The Vampire Diaries: gen, Damon, Alaric, Elijah, Katherine; Damon/Elena, Katherine/any male vampire, Damon/Alaric(would be new for me but why not), Damon/Elena/Stefan, Elijah/?(I'm open to suggestions)
V: gen, Hobbes, Erica, Lisa, Joshua; Erica/Hobbes, Erica/Jack/Hobbes, Lisa/Joshua, Jack/Hobbes-friendship, Erica/Lisa-friendship
These aren't all the fandoms I have written in, let alone that I'm familiar with, so if there's something you think I might be familiar with that you think fits one of the words, prompt that too. Crossovers are also an option.
Also let's add some of my original fic to the mix:
Blue Skies: gen; any named character; Jake/Tamara
Kat [High Queen]: gen; any recurring character; Kat/Honor – mostly has to be implied but I can push the boundaries; Cal/Ryan, any friendship you suggest
Call Me Mistress: gen, prompt me for anything you'd like
Marrah: [OC in LotS canon] gen; Marrah, Marrah/Larissa
Isolde: [OC in LotS canon] gen; Isolde
You know how prompting at comment ficathons works, but here are examples of fic I have already written for this comm, just in case:
Years – Dollhouse, Adelle and/or Adelle/Dominic. Something pre-series about Adelle's past
Passion – LotS/Buffy crossover where Cara Mason meets Faith LeHane and sexy times ensue
Travel – Kat, gen fic, on the way to another village we see that Kat's priorities are different to Honor's

Would that work?

Date: 2012-03-29 06:33 pm (UTC)Might have to skim one of them and/or rewatch an episode or two to get the characters straight in my head before I start.

Date: 2012-03-30 09:28 am (UTC)I think there are two or three eps I've not yet seen, so I might try and do that too (after Vampire Diaries is caught up with). :)
Blood Ties Fic
Date: 2012-05-01 06:30 pm (UTC)In particular I've heavily glossed over events in the finale episode - I haven't access to the DVDs right now so I can't check, but I've used my original fix-it plan for part of it and winged the rest (makes more sense in the fic.) The fic runs pre-series to post-series with Mike/Vicki, Mike/Henry and Mike/Henry/Vicki featured. The timeline is probably a mess but I don't think canon was exact with the details, although I'm happy to be corrected and to adjust timings accordingly.
I just saw your entry saying you're going to be busy for the next four weeks, but if you'd be willing to beta, I'm happy to wait - there's no deadline on this piece. If you're not interested, just don't respond, and I'll post a public plea on my LJ later :D
Either way, thanks for the inspiration :D

Off to bed now, I think! Meant to be in bed a half hr ago... oops?

Date: 2012-03-29 03:40 pm (UTC)Issues like trust and forgiveness always make me think of Darken/Kahlan, but could also clearly work for Cara and Kahlan - how Kahlan forgives Cara for what happened with Dennee, or how they bond over protecting Richard and learn to trust one another?
Kat, people - how she, the High Queen, deals with her responsibilities, and how she'll never have a normal life, but maybe she doesn't want one...
Blue Skies, questions - this made me think of some sort of ridiculous questionaire that needs filling out. Special talents, seeing the future...maybe, anyway.
Feel free to ignore any and all of these if they don't work.

Date: 2012-03-29 06:37 pm (UTC)So many good things in here, I'll ponder them for a while :D I can always rely on you to come up with good stuff :D
no subject
Date: 2012-03-29 04:18 pm (UTC)Purple - Drusilla is unhappy. The world has gotten too loud, too fast, too harsh, too confusing. She misses the old days. So Spike brings her a present. A playmate for his princess - before he even knows who Willow is, or that she's the friend of the Slayer, he brings her to his princess, all dressed in royal purple. - PLS O_O Or you could do a crossover and make it Jennsen aslkdjfsd! Which works because Jennsen wears purple all the time anyway ^_^
Game of Thrones
Hail - Tyrion takes the Iron Throne. Hail the new King. Maybe he marries Dany. Because. Tyrion/Dany asdfjdfskdfds.
Black - Tyrion and/or Jaime are driven from King'S Landing, and take the Black as the only option of survival left. Jon Snow has a soft spot for Tyrion, but Jaime pisses everyone off.
Legend of the Seeker
Trust - The way Cara knew Zedd finally trusted her was that he used his magic on her, trusting she wouldn't turn it back on him.
Leaving - Cara and Dahlia presumably spent a lot of time together, yet Dahlia is nowhere to be found in Cara's temple in the beginning of S2. So when and why did she leave, and how did their farewell go down?
Stars/Sun/Sky - Together, Shota and Zedd can move the stars through the heavens. To Shota this is a sign that they were destined for each other. To Zedd it is a sign that they may never be.
Moon - Corah, the were-calthrop hates the moon even as it sings in her veins.
Seconds - It's odd how long seconds can seem, when at their end you will die. The death of Darken Rahl, burned in green flames.

So much good stuff. I'll definitely be writing some of these :D
