24 Days of Ficmas: Prompt Me! (Yes, Again!)

[jedibuttercup]

What is the Wishlist?

The Wishlist is a multi-fandom Christmas fanfiction fest. It started very small and simple three years ago: the premise was simply to write twenty-four ficlets in response to twenty-four prompts, posted between 1 Dec and 24 Dec. Fandom gifts, if you will. Since then it's grown and changed a bit.

The community and the rules in detail can be found here.

I have signed up to be a writer. If you want to give me a prompt, please leave a comment on this entry; and if you want to see what I wrote for it last year to get an idea of what you can ask, here's my 2010 master list.

Rules

• I accept the first twenty-four prompts I am given, regardless of who you are or if I know you.
  (ALL SPOTS FULL! If you missed it, I'm sure I'll be playing again next year. *grin*)



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



• If I'm not offering the fandom you're requesting, it doesn't count. (Unless you can talk me into it.)
  
  The current offerings list is: Buffy/Angel-verse; Stargate SG-1/Atlantis; Firefly/Serenity; Eureka; Star Trek XI; Fast and the Furious series; Leverage; The Mummy/Mummy Returns series; The Dresden Files; The Sorcerer's Apprentice; Falling Skies; and, live-action Transformers.



• 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 Character X/Character Y, whatever at me is going to get you whatever.



• If you don't have an LJ account, you can give your DW/IJ/TtH/AO3/whatever name in an anonymous comment, but do make sure to sign it. 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, one a day, starting 1st, Dec 2011.

And that's it! Prompt away: the 24 Days of Ficcish Christmas are only six weeks away!

(In the meantime, I'll be clearing the rest of the rewards and auction fic I owe; I haven't forgotten.)

Hooray!! You're participating again!! Sadly, I'm still owing on last years, so I won't be this year, but I'm excited for all the writers that are this year. It's gonna be fun!

Soooo, my prompt will be Dresden/Sorcerer's Apprentice, set before Changes, and your inspiration is: On the run from a Red Court Vampire attack, Harry makes a wrong turn in the NeverNever and ends up in the middle of Dave's lab.

[jedibuttercup]

Trying to get the two different magical traditions to play well together should prove interesting, lol. =)

[kerrykhat.livejournal.com]

Fandoms: BtVS/Star Trek XI
Pairing: Buffy Summers/Leonard "Bones" McCoy
Prompt: Echo by The Hush Sound

Thank you for doing this again!

[jedibuttercup]

You're welcome. =)

Got a link for that prompt?

Re: *pounce*

[jedibuttercup]

*sporfle* Would you want that as part of my Handle With Care series, or a standalone?

[jenna_marianne]

I would love a Dresden/Marcone Dresden Files fic, especially if you could do a crossover with Buffy or Stargate. Maybe they fall through the NeverNever or a portal to another verse? Too vague?

[jedibuttercup]

Hmmm. I do have some ideas about DF/Stargate crosses that I've been looking for an excuse to use; the Dresden/Marcone will actually take more work from my perspective. *grin* Should be fun to write!

[jilltanith.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

Either a continuation of last year's Dresden/Trek story, or BtVS/Star Trek XI, Xander and Jim Kirk; "I don't believe in a no-win scenario."

[jedibuttercup]

Heh; either should be fun, though Dresden is easier for me to write than Xander. Thanks!

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

This looks fun!

Fandom: The Mummy/Dresden Files
Prompt: Jonathan is a wizard, tasked with keeping an eye on Imhotep's skull. He is not a happy camper with this. Neither is Harry when the two of them show up in Chicago.

[jedibuttercup]

Yay, another Mummy crossover prompt!

(Are you thinking more TV-canon or Book-canon here, in terms of how the skull thing works?)

[ymfaery]

I would like to see a continuation of your Fast and Furious/Transformers crossover universe. If you need specifics, how Dom, Brian & Co. make the deal with NEST, and/or what the gang does once they're there (I had the impression NEST might want Brian to help Sam out with his powers, but not sure what the others would do).

[jedibuttercup]

I do have some ideas in mind for that. =) Will do!

[avamclean.livejournal.com]

Can I play super seat savers and save a spot? My mind isn't in fandom right this very second so I'm having difficulty coming up with a prompt, but I think I can have one for you by tomorrow.

[jedibuttercup]

=) Just get it to me as soon as you can.

[lizbet0.livejournal.com]

I'd love more of the aftermath of The Soul Job! How about whichever of these most tickles your fancy?

a) Parker & Hardison run into vampires and have to defend themselves till Elliot & Buffy arrive; bonus points for references to pretzels, Nana, or "Seriously? Seriously?!"

b) What happens to Lindsay after he's free from Wolfram & Hart? (Heh. Maybe he runs into Tara!)

Thank you so much!

[lizbet0.livejournal.com]

(Pssst...Let me know if it's ok to submit a second prompt. I was just rereading your Mummy fic & started to miss Rick & Evie!) :D

[pronker]

Re this list, quoting you from Aug. 16th entry ...

*it's about Energy Field*

"The "Legacy" book series that's supposed to continue where the finale left off has them flying the city home the long way and crash-landing on a minimally hospitable world on the fringes of Pegasus, IIRC. But... I could easily have them repair that "wormhole drive" that conveniently appeared in the finale and oops! Something goes wrong and they crash on a different minimally hospitable world. Say, Dagobah. *snickering* I'd have to pick a good entry point timeline wise, but that could throw quite the rock in the Star Wars verse pond, since half the city would have sudden out of control Force powers, and the city herself would sing like crazy to all the Jedi (or Sith) already out there.

*blinkblink* Um. Remind me of this next time I run a prompt list, would you? I don't have time to get into this right now with the Buffyverse crossathon going on, but my fingers are starting to itch..."

A pox on itchy fingers! not really

soooo, I reminded you...

[jedibuttercup]

Heh. You're right; I'll mark it down!

[sulien.livejournal.com]

Placeholder!

Sorry, but you have so many truly fabulous stories and I desperately want so much more of very nearly all of them that it is going to take me a day or two to single out just one prompt.

[jedibuttercup]

=) Just get it to me as soon as you can.

[xgirl2222.livejournal.com]

Ok here's the pitch.

When I saw you were doing Wishlist again and that you watched White Collar I knew I had to put in for a BTVS/White Collar prompt. There are barley any crossovers between these two shows, and absolutely no Neal/Buffy fic....nada........zilch...........bukiss! I mean come on, Buffy's Mom was an art major who owned her own gallery. Joyce was just the type of Mom to drag Buffy to museums and galleries has part of their mother daughter time in her preteen years. Buffy knows art, I'm sure it was one of the things she and Angel had in common (yet another art influence in her life). You could be the one to introduce that concept into fanon that ever starving mass. Beyond that, you would be providing fic to a sorely underdeveloped niche. Think of it has a public service. Plus the sheer pretty of Neal/Buffy would probably cause world peace :)

Fandom: White Collar/BTVS
Pairing: Neal/Buffy
Setting: Post Season 7 for BTVS, after Chosen, anytime for White Collar
Prompt: Neal never thought he could truly love anyone other then Kate, after being run over by Buffy Summers (literally), he's about to change his mind.

If your still not interested in doing the prompt then I would love a continuation of your Brian/Mia/Hobbs fic "Made That Way".

[jedibuttercup]

... As long as you really mean anytime for White Collar, because my parents have the DVDs and we've only been able to get through to about the third episode of Season 2. *chewing nails* That could ... maybe work.

[kerravonsen]

Placeholder!

Let me go off and ponder your existing stuff, and I shall come back soon.

[jedibuttercup]

=)=)=) Looking forward to whatever you prompt!

[vialethe]

So happy I'm not quite too late!

Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: Mal/River
Prompt: River is trying to reorganize his ship, in various ways, and that's making Mal's life more difficult than he'd like it.

Super extra bonus points if you can manage a crossover with The Mummy, as I think Mal and Rick and River and Evie would get along marvelously.

[jedibuttercup]

You're #14; I just have a very chatty request list. =)

I'm not sure how I'd manage the mechanics of that crossover, but I'll put some thought into it! Sounds like fun.

[graycardinal]

[thinkthinkthink]

[lightbulb]

As usual, my brain kicked out a weirder-than-average crossover idea:

Sorcerer's Apprentice/ST XI -- Spock Prime and Balthazar Blake cross paths in connection with an Ancient Vulcan Artifact[tm] that has somehow survived the events of the film. Maybe they need to work together to figure out what it does, or why it's on Earth, or keep it from being eaten by tribbles (okay, the tribbles are probably over the top)....

[jedibuttercup]

The tribbles are definitely over the top. The rest of it, though... Hmmm!

Ah, the joys of having an immortal character; it makes the mechanics of the crossover itself much easier, so I can have more fun with character interaction. =)

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

I see you already have a lot of Dresden Files crossover requests. I don't want to be repetitive, but dude, the third Transformers movie happened in Chicago! Okay, it was a terrible piece of shite and Michael Bay should be strung up by his toes for what he's done to our beloved characters and canon, but hell... Whenever I wasn't cringing in horror I spent the entire movie just thinking, "Man, one good hexus from Harry could have saved them a LOT of trouble!"

Magic and Giant Alien Robots technology are non-mixing things. Plzkthx, y/n? ;P

[jedibuttercup]

LOL, yeah, that could be a fun one to write. =)

You're #16!

[morgynleri]

The Sorcerer's Apprentice; Balthazar/Veronica / or & Horvath; for all that we know and all that we are, we're still lost and incomplete, helpless and unknowing.

[jedibuttercup]

#17! You give me the thinkiest prompts, you know that? I liked to have torn my hair out over last years, but I really liked the result. I'll have to let my backbrain boil this one over for awhile. =)

[dharkapparition.livejournal.com]

DF/FireflySerenity



Zoe/Harry past relationship : you can think of my virginity as your little souveneir from our relationship. (texts from last night)

Post movie. Zoe has started to heal and they run across Harry when Mal answers an ad for a job. Harry needs a particular element for a potion/spell and wants to come alng to make sure it's gathered properly.

[jedibuttercup]

#18! Ooo, interesting. (This is really the year for DF crossovers, it looks like. Fun prompt, too. *grin*)

[xiorlanth.livejournal.com]

Daniel Jackson, Harry Dresden (Stargate SG1, Dresden Files), lingual drift.

Hopeful that it's a continuation of Special Delivery, but anything's all right.

[jedibuttercup]

#19! This is a TV-verse cross, then? I'll have to dig out my DVDs; it's been awhile since I've written anything but bookverse Dresden. I have wanted an excuse to continue that story, though. =)

[milady78.livejournal.com]

Fandoms: Angel/Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Characters: Wesley and Balthazar Blake
Prompt: Two possibilities. 1) Balthazar helps Wesley deal with Vail. Or 2) After surviving “Not Fade Away” Wesley ends up in New York and interacts with Blake. What form of interaction and how he survived NFA is up to you.

[jedibuttercup]

#20! Ooooo, that will be fun. I haven't done much Jossverse/SA crossover work yet, and Wes is a good place to connect them.

[edenfalling]

Because I am curious about this Falling Skies thing now... how about the reason Firefly's Earth-That-Was got abandoned was because of that alien invasion? So how do the Falling Skies characters get hold of some ships to evacuate their planet? Or what happens when the aliens discover the humans' refuge and swoop down again sometime during the lives of the Firefly characters?

[edenfalling]

Oh, and as for specific characters, I liked your take on Anne from Falling Skies, and any of the Serenity's crew would be lovely.

*makes note to read your BtVS/Falling Skies crossover soonish, for reference*

[ldydragon7.livejournal.com]

Either more in your Mummy/Leverage verse, the team + anyone else you want to add, ‘Strange Happens’, shenanigans and the rest of the team learning more about what it means to be part of the O’Connell /Carnahan family tree

OR

Leverage, Eliot and Hardison, Forced to pull out a cover story or misdirection on the spot/ anything that focuses on how well they play off each other

[jedibuttercup]

=) Yay, a Leverage prompt! I was kind of surprised it wasn't a more popular request this year. I think I'm leaning more toward the first prompt than the second; should be fun to write!

[jinxed-wood.livejournal.com]

If I'm reading the post above right, you've still got a couple of spots free and I'd love to read this, so:

Fandom: Serenity/Firefly
Prompt: Five times Zoe thought it was time to quit Malcolm Reynolds...
Characters: Um, Zoe... (and whoever else comes to mind :-P)

[jedibuttercup]

Ooo, that ought to be fun. I really love the connection between them. You're #23!

[vesselandpestle.livejournal.com]

Well, if there's still room and all...

Percy Jackson/ BtVS

Cordelia was the daughter of Apollo and now... a camp counselor.

[jedibuttercup]

You're #24! Oooooooooo, Cordelia as a daughter of Apollo: that has potential. Thank you!

[pprfaith.livejournal.com]

*wails*

I missed the chance to get fic from you! That's what happens when I get so caught up in organizing this stuff: I have no time to shamelessly abuse it. ;P

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with some of those prompts, though.
