Prompts?

It's the first of the month, and we all know what that means by now: Prompts! Here be the scoop (verbiage long-since nicked from methylviolet10b):

1. 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.
Addendum from me: The minimum I guarantee to write is one drabble on one prompt, but so far I've taken everything that's been lobbed my way, so the chances are good that if you prompt me, I will write something.

2. 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 is 1 December and I'm looking for fic prompts! I'll leave the comments thread open for prompts for a week, until midnight next Thursday. Previously, I've offered fandoms to pick from if you wanted. This month, I'm not putting up a list. If you prompt me, you'll get what you get based on a) what/how the prompt inspires me, b) what fandoms I feel competent writing in, and c) what I know about you and your fandom preferences.

So... Prompt me, baby! ;-)

Amanuensis, gingerbread, foible, turgid, solecistic. Use as many or as few of those as inspires you, in one fic or many. Double giggle points if you work in the original phrase behind the meaning of amanuensis, "slave at hand."

Merry December!

How about "ice" and "frozen"?

Great words! I have an idea how I might use them, but I won't spoil the surprise. ;)

Considering where I'm about to spend the holidays, these are particularly apropos. Thanks!
