jedibuttercupWhat is the Wishlist?
The Wishlist is a multi-fandom Christmas fanfiction fest. It started very small and simple several 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 in past fests, just click the wishlist tag.
And that's it! Prompt away: the 24 Days of Ficcish Christmas begin only a month away!

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 in past fests, just click the wishlist tag.
Rules
- I accept the first 24 prompts I am given, regardless of who you are or if I know you.
(POST CLOSED!) - You give me characters/pairing, a fandom and a prompt. (Please don't skip the prompt part).
- If I'm not offering the fandom you're requesting, I reserve the right to refuse the prompt.
The regular offerings list is: Buffy/Angel-verse (no comics); Stargate SG-1; Firefly/Serenity; Star Trek XI or TOS; The Marvel Cinematic Universe (Avengers, Guardians, etc.); Eureka; the Fast and the Furious series; Leverage; The Dresden Files; Grimm; Falling Skies; The Walking Dead; Person of Interest; Sleepy Hollow; and the Riddick-verse. (You could probably also make a case for things I've watched, read, or written for lately that didn't make the 'very familiar fandoms' list; check my left-margin bookmarks for that.) - If I find your prompt in any way offensive, I will disregard it, too. Fair warning.
- Your prompts can be for a crossover or not - either is fine - and should be in line with what I usually write. (That's a loose guideline, I know, but basically don't be deliberately ornery, okay? I don't have the energy for it.) 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 2014. (At least, that's the goal. I may not hit it, especially this last year considering certain RL events, but whatever I don't make, I'll finish before the next December 1 for sure; I always have).
And that's it! Prompt away: the 24 Days of Ficcish Christmas begin only a month away!

You'll be 2/24.

Date: 2014-11-02 05:36 am (UTC)Well, it's pretty difficult to prompt for the sequel to a sequel that hasn't appeared yet, so.
One thing I'd like to see is a crossover that's only half on your offered fandoms list, but maybe? *fingers crossed* A MCU Avengers/Modesty Blaise crossover? Modesty, Willie, Clint and Natasha, any two or more; shared history? Pairings welcome but not required! ;)
if not, then:
BTVS/Iron Man: There's a reason Dawn Summers is so smart; she gets it from the guy who turns out to be her real genetic father, Tony Stark.

Date: 2014-11-02 05:44 am (UTC)(I did mean to get to your prompt a lot sooner, but, well. I didn't write at all this spring, grief being what it is, and the muses have been idiosyncratic since. But I did manage to reread canon and take lots of notes. November's gonna be busy, but I'll get it done.)
The Tony Stark prompt ... I don't think I've done the lost family route with the Avengers before; sounds like fun!

Date: 2014-11-02 07:04 am (UTC)Modesty was a refugee girl of unknown background who rose to become the leader of a criminal gang while she was still a teenager, made a fortune, and retired in her twenties. Willie Garvin was a Cockney mercenary who joined her group (The Network) and rose to become her right hand and best friend, he's probably about 10 years older than she is. In spite of both of them having many lovers over the course of the books, their own relationship was always platonic.
Anyway, both of them were superior fighters, and Willie was unparalleled with his throwing knives -- throwing anything actually.
The books cover their adventures in assisting British Intelligence.
I could go on and on, but if you try the stories on TtH I think you'd get a good idea of the characters and maybe even be tempted to read the books!

Date: 2014-11-03 01:42 am (UTC)The two stories that Marcus wrote take two different approaches to putting Modesty in the now; in one story, she's youthful in the same way that DC used to keep Superman and Batman eternally 29. In the other, something that happened in the second book of the series is the basis for the plot. So, Modesty Blaise is the first book, and A Taste for Death is the second one.

(Also, JSYK, I did finally look up Modesty Blaise, and place an Amazon order; the first book arrives at my office Monday. :)
