State of the Writers' Prompts, Old and New

2008 Writing NYR's: Bookmark Post & Five Things Requests

So Yuletide is over, BAH chapter 9 is up, and my Birthday Ficathon won't start until January 27. That gives me a few weeks to regroup and revisit what I intend to work on in the near future.

Here's my current list of projects, requests first, but otherwise in no particular order:

• Reward-fic for kneazles: sequel to Unexpected Connections
  
• Prompt-fic for kerravonsen: either CSI/Tolkien, "Gil Grissom, Faramir; faithful, bright" or CSI/Pern, "Gill Grissom and a (live) Pernese Fire Lizard"


• Prompt-fic for jilltanith: more The Return of the Medjai starring Ardeth


• Prompt-fic for ccmom: Atlantis/HP, "Sheppard, Harry"


• Prompt-fic for treppie: Tolkien/A:tS, "Drogyn; deep places"


• Prompt-fic for maevebran: More SG-1/P&P, "Daniel, Vala, bored now"


• Prompt-fic for aella_irene: Austen/SG-1, "Sam, remembrances"


• Prompt-fic for izhilzha: CSI/Tin Man, "Sara Sidle in the O.Z."


• Prompt-fic for beatriceotter: more of A Wizard for Mary
  
  
• Chapter 10 of Back Again, Harry? -- the Quidditch match & Quirrell


• Chapter 11 of Book's Legacy -- the Tam siblings reach Osiris


• Chapter 6 of Adventures in Rome -- Buffy & Imhotep!


• A sequel to See For Yourself -- Dawn/Clone!Daniel in B:tVS Season 7


• A sequel to Going to Ground -- Atlantis/Firefly, re: the Lantean!Reavers


• More Tin Man conversation fic-- between Az and D.G. next, I think


• More Dresden Files crossovers-- SG-1 or B:tVS or Tin Man or...?


• Anything else that happens to strike my fancy, as usual. *grin*

IN THE MEANTIME. Do y'all remember that old Five Things meme I ran? I did twelve of them before I sort of ran out of inspiration, but they were great fun; I'd love to have some new ones to noodle on when I'm stuck in writer's block.

So distract me with new Five Things prompts. Any fandom I've written more than 1000 words in, or which you know me to be knowledgeable about; I'll leave it wide open this time (just no NC-17 lists, please). Five things Xander left out of his after-action Watcher reports? Five things D.G. said that totally baffled Wyatt Cain? Five things Riddick kept from the Necromongers? Five times Mal understood River, and wished he hadn't? Anything.

--Oh, and leave as many as you like, too; I don't promise to do them all, but I do promise to do as many as I can find inspiration for, so the more unusual and imaginative (as long as I can answer them from a canon basis), the better.

Austen/SGA, John, family

[jedibuttercup]

It has to be a "Five Things" style prompt for this request (although that's an interesting drabble idea).

For example, "Five Things John..." ?

[aella_irene]

Ack, sorry!

Five Things John Shepperd tries not to remember about his family

[izhilzha.livejournal.com]

Five things Greg Sanders never said to Sara Sidle.

[jedibuttercup]

An interesting prompt. I hope I did him justice:

[lt-kitty.livejournal.com]

Five things Book never told anyone on Serenity about his past.

[beatrice_otter]

Batman Begins--five times Bruce Wayne needed a slayer's help.

Five times Wesley regretted going to Watcher-school instead of Hogwarts.

Five times Quentin Travers thought about trying to replace Giles as Buffy's watcher, but didn't.

[ccmom.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'd forgotten all about that prompt. You are better at remembering than I. *sad sigh* lol

Okay...Five times Harry almost stunned Ron but didn't, either because he's a good guy or because Hermione would hurt him.

Although, the one with Mal understanding River sounds interesting.

What about Five times John Sheppard was glad he woke up the Wraith? (how's that for a twist?) Yes, I'm evil. I love it. You'll thank me for it later. Or has it been done already and I missed it?

Happy Holidays!!

[thady.livejournal.com]

He, sounds great!

How about: SG1/x, Daniel, 5 times Daniel kissed someone from another show. (Take your pick) :)

[jedibuttercup]

So, I was in need of inspiration today, and answered your very, very old prompt. =)

Four Times Daniel Jackson Was Kissed Unexpectedly, and One Time He Made The First Move

Five things Major Richard Sharpe kept of Terresa's.

Five things Tully will always remember about the race.

Five things Tealc learned from Luna Lovegood.

[kerravonsen]

*sporfle*

[jonas72.livejournal.com]

I´m feeling rather inspired myself for the first time in years. Maybe I should write something similar myself...

[kerravonsen]

Five photographs Daniel Jackson took while offworld.

Five times Jack O'Neill was stuck up a tree.

Five beautiful things that Faramir made.

Five people who never taught in Sunnydale (yes, I did that one myself, but it would be interesting to see what you would do with it)

Five people River never met.

Five inter-dimensional/cross-universal rifts that Gil Grissom never fell through.

[jedibuttercup]

Here's the first of them:

Five Photographs Daniel Jackson Took While Offworld

(Some nice, nice prompts in the list. Gil & Gandalf, lol.)

[kerravonsen]

Five things Gandalf learned from Gil Grissom.

[izhilzha.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's awesome.

[kerravonsen]

I was inspired by jonas72's idea. 8-)

[kerravonsen]

Five times Gil Grissom inadvertently saved the world.

Five (crossover) characters who never guest-starred on the Muppet Show.

Five people Anya never dated.

[jedibuttercup]

One of these days, I swear, I'm going to find time to reread or rewatch LOTR, and I'm going to go back and do your Faramir and Gandalf prompts. They're shiny.

In the meanwhile, I do still peer at these to assuage the distracted muse from time to time:

Five People Anya Never Dated (Though She Was Tempted), and One She Did
http://jedibuttercup.livejournal.com/353543.html

[kerravonsen]

One of these days, I swear, I'm going to find time to reread or rewatch LOTR, and I'm going to go back and do your Faramir and Gandalf prompts. They're shiny.
(grin)
Looking forward to it, whenever it happens.

5 Times Wyatt Cain [almost] told D.G. he loved her (or visa-versa)

Five things SG-1 told General Hammond that he would've rather they'd kept to themselves

Five times Arthur Weasley surprised the hell out of everyone

Five times Alexander saved Rick and Evie from Certain Doom

Five times Dawn had to rescue Buffy

Five friends Mini-Jack made when he went back to High School

Five times the phrase "And then there was pudding, O'Neill" came out of Teal'c's mouth (I still need to write that, don't I...)

That ought to be enough.

As if you don't have enough

[anabels.livejournal.com]

I am hanging out for the next BAH chapter and more of Adventures in Rome. Which is weird given I have seen neither the Mummy films or any Buffy.

But if you need another brain bender how about:
Five thing Sara Sidel and Hermione Granger agreed on

Re: As if you don't have enough

[jedibuttercup]

If you still remember this--

I finally got around to Five Things Sara Sidle and Hermione Granger Agreed On.

Hope you enjoy!
