Prompts?

[monkeybard]

It's that time again. Time for me to solicit fic prompts! Here's a quick reminder of what goes on:

methylviolet10b proposed the idea of soliciting prompts once a month in order to keep one's creativity flowing and alert.

"On the 1st of every month, I'll put up a "Prompts?" post. You can leave me a prompt in comments, and if it tickles me, I'll agree to take it and write a fic using said prompt by the end of that month. I will commit to taking at least one of the prompts from the post and writing a fic on it. If I do take on your prompt, I'd appreciate it if you'd comment on the fic/drabble/whatever I produce that uses it.

If you're inclined to play along, you too can put up a "Prompts?" post on the 1st of the month, thereby committing to writing at least one prompt-inspired fic that month. No, you don't have to do this every month, or even ever, even if you give me prompts; I just hope others might find this fun and intriguing. If you let me know (or you're already on my friends list), I'll give you a prompt. :-) Hopefully you will find it amusing/inspiring/giggleworthy."

Now it's again the first of the month and so I'm looking for fic prompts! I'll leave the comments thread open for prompts for a week, until 7 October.Plus, if you want to pick a fandom, I offer this list:

ST:ENT
SACD:TLW
ACD's Sherlock Holmes
BBC:SHERLOCK
NCIS
Firefly

If you don't want to pick a fandom, that's fine. I'll pick for you. And if you want to offer a cross-over prompt, feel free. There's always a chance it'll strike my fancy and I'll fic it.  As it turned out in Sept, I wrote three prompt fics utilising all four of the prompts I was given. I don't guarantee that sort of output every month. The only promises I make are that a) I will create a fic for at least ONE prompt, and b) the minimum length of any prompt fic will be 100 words (ie, a drabble).

So...PROMPT ME!

Hmmmm...I bet it's been a while since you've done anything TLW related. Let's see...
Marguerite has to rescue Roxton (feel free to throw the other characters in as well). Smut is acceptable as well. :D

Hmm... I haven't played in that universe for a long time, but I like this. Hmm... ::thinky face::

*clappy hands, happy dance*

Have fun. :D Can't wait to see the results. :D

Sherlock, John, Lestrade. One of the three of them is allergic to pumpkin. Which one? How does this come to light? Is it cracky or angsty or a complete left-field comment that has nothing to do with the rest of the fic? Up to you, of course. :-D

And yeah, seasonal. So sue me. ;-)

[monkeybard]

Interesting. And sad for whichever one it is. Life without pumpkin would be dire, indeed, IMO.

[methylviolet10b]

Yes - a pumpkin allergy would be tragic. Sadsauce, even.

The prospect of a MB written NCIS story thrills me to no end. We have Gibbs (the ex marine), Ziva (the ex Mossad agent) and Tony (the ex cop)....all pretty kick ass in their own right, but I would love to see a story where it's the resident nerd, McGee, who saves the day. And not necessarily by using his brains. Bonus points if you can work in a kiss, a reference to Shakespeare and a dill pickle. ;)

[monkeybard]

My oh my! I do like this. It screams case!fic to me, but I could be wrong. Hrmm...

[ryalin1.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!!! I'm excited that you like it. :)

[methylviolet10b]

And here's a second one, just because:

Sherlock takes John to visit the ancestral estate, visit with Mummy, etc. The family ghosts are *delighted* to have a visitor who can actually take notice of them, unlike the Holmeses. ;-)

[monkeybard]

Oo! Spooky prompt is spooky! (And because this is me, contains ample opportunity for comedy.) Goodness me. Holmes the Elders. What a thought!

[methylviolet10b]

I thought this one might amuse you. :-D
