Prompt Me, Please?
Fellow writers/readers/cheerleaders! Lend me your prompts!
Um, okay. It's 10pm, I worked nearly 10 hrs, and I'm a bit cracked. Sorry :D
Essentially, I'm looking for prompts for some fics I have in progress (or ones that need to be "in progress" like, two weeks ago...eep). Mostly looking for random words/scenarios and such. Below the cut, you'll find the text of my original post on my own LJ. If you're willing to play along, comments here or there are totally fine!
Basically, what's going on here is I have a few fics that I need to write, and either the original "prompter" has left it totally open and hasn't responded to my questions regarding preferred genres, cliches, kinks/squicks, etc., or I have fics that might not reach their required word length *cough*bigbang*cough* without an additional subplot or two. *woe!face*
So what I'm asking is for you to prompt me! These don't have to be complex prompts (in fact, for this particular purpose, I'd kind of prefer they weren't)--I'm simply looking for general scenarios or (even better) a few random words or phrases that might morph into a plot bunny (often what you'd see in the "objects" or "scenarios" or "actions" bit of a fest prompt).
Please understand that since some of these things are for anon fests, so if I take your idea, you might not get thanked in the author's notes in the fest (though when the fic goes up on my OWN lj, I will be thanking you then!). Also, understand that there's a chance I might not use something you prompted here. It doesn't mean I didn't like it! It just means I didn't use it for something I'm writing on a deadline that's fast-approaching (there are a fair number of those, though....eep). Also, nothing says I won't come back to this post months later and use something someone left. Sometimes the bunnies have to be left alone to hop around quietly for a while before they come up and bite me :D
I'm mostly looking for prompts in the Harry Potter fandom, with a Harry/Draco pairing. BUT, I wouldn't object if you wanted to leave something here for one of my other fandoms/ships (post will be up shortly that lists those--will be a sticky post. Main ones right now though are Hunger Games, Inception, and Demon's Lexicon, though there are nearly a dozen others).
Thanks again guys!
(Oh, and a note about kinks/squicks/genres and cliches I do/don't write: Feel free to prompt whatever, even if you're unsure it's something I'm likely to write. I'll give most anything a shot (yes, there are a few exceptions), and just because I might not write EXACTLY what you've prompted doesn't mean it won't spark a bunny and get tweaked so it can be used in some other way!)
