24 Days of Fic: Prompt Me! (Yes, You!)

[jedibuttercup]

Okay. So pprfaith did this first, then polgara_5 and azraelz_angel and avamclean. But I was totally okay with resisting the urge to follow until I started reading their prompts....

*ahem* Anyway. Two extra limiters on this, since I've got other fic deadlines looming all around: (a) these are going to all end up drabble length, or maybe up to 500 words, so keep that in mind as you prompt; and (b) I'm limiting the fandom list to ten I've written either lots of or very recently.

Wishlist 2010

Rules:

• I accept the first twenty-four prompts I am given, regardless of who you are or if I know you. (LIST COMPLETE!)



• You give me characters/pairing, a fandom and a prompt.



• If I don't know the fandom you're requesting, your prompt doesn't count. If you want to check up on my fandoms, check out my body of work here.
  
  Choose from the following: Buffy/Angel-verse; Stargate SG-1; Firefly/Serenity; Eureka; Star Trek XI; Leverage; The Mummy/Mummy Returns; The Dresden Files; The Sorcerer's Apprentice; and Avatar: the Last Airbender.



• Your prompts can be for a crossover or not. Either is fine. It can be a quote, an idea, a specific situation, but the more you give me, the more I have to work with. Throwing Faith/Dean Buffy/Daniel, whatever at me is going to get you whatever.



• If you don't have an lj account, leave an anonymous comment, but make sure to sign it with a name (possibly your TtH name, if you're coming from that end.) If you do not sign with a name I will not use your prompt.



• I answer the prompts in the order I like best and post them here and on TtH, one a day, starting 1st, Dec 2010.

And that's it! Prompt away: the 24 Days of Ficcish Christmas will be here before you know it!

The Dresden Files, Michael Carpenter.

Thou art indeed just, Lord, if I contend
With thee; but, sir, so what I plead is just.
Why do sinners' ways prosper? and why must
Disappointment all I endeavour end?

Wert thou my enemy, O thou my friend,
How wouldst thou worse, I wonder, than thou dost
Defeat, thwart me? Oh, the sots and thralls of lust
Do in spare hours more thrive than I that spend,
Sir, life upon thy cause. See, banks and brakes
Now leavèd how thick! lacèd they are again
With fretty chervil, look, and fresh wind shakes
Them; birds build -- but not I build; no, but strain,
Time's eunuch, and not breed one work that wakes.
Mine, O thou lord of life, send my roots rain.
--Gerard Manly Hopkins, priest

Ooooo, what a thinky prompt. *chews fingernail* ♥ Michael!

[tygermama.livejournal.com]

The Mummy/The Mummy Returns + Leverage

When Grandpa Rick calls, Eliot comes running

When Grandfather Jonathan calls, Sophie wonders what it's going to cost her this time

When Hardison finds out Sophie and Eliot are related, he can't stop laughing

then the team has to steal/replace with a forgery a sacred dagger that can be used to raise the dead

(and if you wish, you can prompt me, I don't have time to do this meme but I'd be happy to write you something)

[jedibuttercup]

Oh, lol, yeah, I think I can handle that.

I spy Buckaroo Banzai on the list of your fic: can haz a Leverage cross with that crazy crew? =)

[tpeej.livejournal.com]

I would love Star Trek/Stargate(Spock and Teal'c).

[jedibuttercup]

Oooo. *thinky* Eyebrow heaven.

[po-thang.livejournal.com]

Okay, how about Jack (from Eureka) meets Evie (Mummy/Mummy Returns).

Another experiment gone wrong...another Uh-Oh moment for Jack. Either Jack is thrown back in time and meets Evie or Evie is brought forward to present day.

Either way, things are about to get interesting. :-)

[jedibuttercup]

*snickering* I would have said time travel was canonically impossible in Eureka before this season, but now....

[kaylashay.livejournal.com]

Sorcerer's Apprentice / SG1

Balthazar and the Stargate in general... "Not again..."

[jedibuttercup]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Yes.

[speakr2customrs.livejournal.com]

It's a shame your list doesn't include Big Trouble in Little China! I would have requested something in the 'Big Trouble, Little Slayer'-verse otherwise.

[jedibuttercup]

Welllllllllll, for youuuuuuuuuuuu..... ♥ I'll see if I can come up with something.

[lady-with-cats.livejournal.com]

Sorcerer's Apprentice, the "Prime Morganian".

Whatever pairings/rating, but I would love to see some plotty action, or maybe an introspective piece about being the Prime Morganian? :D TY!

[jedibuttercup]

LOL, sure. There was a lot in that movie that I ended up fic-patching, but that title, I hadn't even touched yet.

[polgara-5.livejournal.com]

*pushes way in and saves a spot*

yay!!!

And I totally understand word limitage. I'm freaking just a little over this, but I'm hoping to get a head start on several of mine since I have the next three days off. Yay!!

[jedibuttercup]

*grin* Holding your spot!

[azraelz-angel.livejournal.com]

Fandom: Angel/Star Trek XI
Characters: Illyria / Bones
Prompt: She's the only member of the Enterprise that hasn't been to see him.

And psst...I have a post here (http://azraelz-angel.livejournal.com/94627.html). I should be opening it up tomorrow morning to two prompts per person as well - so if you are interested :)

[jedibuttercup]

How did I miss yours....? Traipsing over!!

and... Illyria & Bones? Ooooo. *loves*

A La Challenge In A Can

[brendanm720.livejournal.com]

Rick O'Connell (Mummy) and Balthazar (Sorcerer's Apprentice), Suspicion, Egyptian Tomb.

Re: A La Challenge In A Can

[jedibuttercup]

*rubs hands together* Yeah, I can work with that.

[kerrykhat.livejournal.com]

Stargate: SG1/Eureka - Jack's never been that close to his cousin, Samantha. Which is why he was surprised when he saw her standing with Stark, Allison, and several others in the lobby of GD.

[jedibuttercup]

Heee. I've been following one over on TtH where Sam's like a third cousin and is enjoying having Stark think she's dumb? Kinda fun, though getting repetitive.

But coming at it from this she's-at-G.D.-first perspective has a lot of potential, I think! *rubs hands together*

[sulien.livejournal.com]

Yay! Now, for that Faith/Paul Davis prompt! Situation: Faith's motorcycle breaks down on the way to an apocalypse, but our newly promoted Lieutenant Colonel Davis happens along to give her a ride. Line: "I guess being promoted just means going from Major Disaster to Lieutenant Colonel Storm Crow".

[jedibuttercup]

Hee. Niiiiiiiice. Best Lt. Col. "title" I've seen for him yet.

[jedibuttercup]

'Course! The list is only half-full yet. Prompt away! =)

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Cheese man: "I wear the cheese, it does not wear me"
Giles: "Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people"
Wallace (to Gromit): It's cheese, lad, but not as we know it*

* that's cheating slightly, it's a quote from a Wallace and Gromit picture cartoon book, not the films.


If you need more inspiration...

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

I should add that I did sort of link Wallace and the Cheese Man in my BtVS / W&G crossover The Right Technology, but I didn't do much with the idea.

[morgynleri]

Sorcerer's Apprentice, Leverage, Stargate SG1, Buffy, Firefly. Any one character (or pairing) from each, a set of linked drabbles to the prompt below. Or a crossover any of the latter four with Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Improper heroes, flawed and reckless
Passionate and burning bright
No looking back for the trailing past
No regrets, just this night

[jedibuttercup]

I'll have to do some thinking about which direction to go with that. Neat prompt, though!

[jilltanith.livejournal.com]

I think there's still space here, so . . . how about Dresden Files and Star Trek? "That is not logical!"

[jedibuttercup]

LOL! Though having Dresden in proximity to all that technology....... Hmmm. =)

[stellarluna35.livejournal.com]

Is there still room for another prompt?

If so, BtVS/Leverage, Buffy/Eliot, "Why are all the crazy ones blonde?"

Thanks!

[jedibuttercup]

*beams* Yes, you make #17. Nice prompt!

[maevebran.livejournal.com]

Ok, I'm going to go for A very Dresden Christmas at the Carpenters.

[jedibuttercup]

All the possibilities available to you and that's what you pick? =) Oddly, after reading Changes that's gonna be harder for me than a crossover, but I'll give it a shot.

[avamclean.livejournal.com]

Am I too late? And if not - Save!

[jedibuttercup]

Nope-- you're #18! Saved! =)

[pprfaith.livejournal.com]

I would like you to know that I am currently bouncing with glee.

Also, if you've still got a slot free, I'd love to see Buffy and Harry from your crossover verse going on a date. Naturally, it would go horribly sideways.

*goes back to bouncing*

[jedibuttercup]

You're #19!

And... Oooo. Lol. Way future of my 'verse, of course, the glacial way Harry moves on everyone (except Luccio, but she doesn't count). But.... that oughtta be fun!

(you corrupting influence, you.)

[kerravonsen]

Fandom: Star Trek: XI
Characters: Uhura and/or Spock
Prompt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." -- Eleanor Roosevelt

[jedibuttercup]

Mmm, there's a good one. You're #20! I'll add it to the list.

Firefly/STNG

[(Anonymous)]

I've really enjoyed your work for years now and there was one story in particular that I wanted to see continued over the others: your Firefly/STNG 1st contact story. :D

Re: Firefly/STNG

[jedibuttercup]

I can only put that on my list if you give me a name to dedicate it to. *points at Rules above*

[theotherwillow.livejournal.com]

Fandoms: Angle & Firefly
Characters: Illyria and River
Prompt: "There's a pair of us, don't tell! They'd banish us, you know!" - Emily Dickinson

[jedibuttercup]

Interesting! *marks it down*

[jedibuttercup]

Ooooooo. DOOM wasn't actually on my list of options, but I'll see what I can do.

[bastardsnow.livejournal.com]

If it's not too late... (I'm bad at counting) a Dresden/SG-1 fic would be awesome, with, somehow, a team-up between Michael and Teal'c.

[jedibuttercup]

You're fine; you're #22. =)

Hmmmmmm.... Michael and Teal'c will make an interesting combination, that's for sure!
