24 Days of X-MAS: THE PROMPT POST RETURNS

[jedibuttercup]

Sorry for the delay, guys. The work-project that's been playing havoc with my writing life these last few weeks was supposed to be wrapped up before noon today. *slightly mad laughter* Uh. Yeah. Anyway.

What 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.

Rules

• I accept the first 24 prompts I am given, regardless of who you are or if I know you.
  
  (PROMPT LIST FULL!)



• 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 current 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.); the Fast and the Furious series; Leverage; The Dresden Files; Grimm; Falling Skies; The Walking Dead/Fear the Walking Dead; Person of Interest; Sleepy Hollow; Jurassic Park/World; and the Riddick-verse. (I do sometimes take other requests, especially continuations of other short-stories or short-story series on a case-by-case basis; if it doesn't fit the above fandom list, conditional acceptance mostly depends on how long I've been out of the 'verse and how much research it would take to refresh.)
  
  
• 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'.
  
  (NOTE: If your prompt is longer than 25 words, or if you request an idea that can't reasonably be covered in 500-3000 words? See again: whatever. I'm not a magic story-writing machine, and I already have one full time job!)



• 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 2015. (At least, that's the goal. I don't always hit it, especially the last year or two given 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!

Sure. #12/24!

I couldn't decide, so I have two prompts for you to choose from? I'm not picky and would be more than happy with either.

Prompt 1:
Fandoms: Leverage/Jurassic World
Characters: The Crew + whoever in Jurassic World you need
Prompt: Owen approaches an old military buddy of his for the raptor program. Elliot wonders which idiot authorized this disaster waiting to happen. (I just really want leverage crew + dinosaurs for this)

Prompt 2:
Fandoms: MCU/BtVS
Characters: Buffy Summers, Loki
Prompt: "The truth is, when you banish the gods from the world, they eventually come back - with a vengeance. Humans can’t stay away from gods, and gods can’t stay away from humans. It’s the natural order of things."

Thank you!

Oooooo.

.. For #1, are you thinking when the raptor program's just being set up, or Owen wanting to bring him on after the program's already started? Because Eliot having a staredown with Blue. Or the crew finding out what's going on with the Indominus or something. *very thinky*

[kerrykhat.livejournal.com]

When the program is already up and running would be preferable. I basically came out of Jurassic World making raptor noises and wanting a Blue & Rexy buddy cop movie, so any and all dinosaurs if you choose prompt one would be highly appreciated. :)

Okay, here goes: The Dinosaur Job, for #1. :)
