24 Days of Prompts Take 6: Let's See How This Goes

[jedibuttercup]

I know I said I was going to put this up weeks ago, but between the yearly vacay and other exchanges I was in and family-related RL frustrations, I've been a bit low on energy. But I have time now, and I could use the nudge to get my writerly butt in gear again. So; let's give this a go!

What is the Wishlist?

The Wishlist is a multi-fandom 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, to be posted in December. Fandom gifts, if you will.

The wishlist_fic community is no longer active, but I participated for several years, and it was a good source of motivation to me to keep writing, so I'm going to collect another 24 prompts this year and see how it goes. :) I can make no promises on exactly when things go up, but I can promise that they will eventually all go up!

(For reference, see my progress on the previous list, stalled for canon review, hopefully all to be finished in November; you'll find the fully completed lists linked there for 2010-2014 as well.)

Rules

• I accept the first 24 prompts I am given, regardless of who you are or if I know you.
  (ALL PROMPTS CLAIMED)



• You give me characters/pairing, a fandom and a prompt. (Please don't skip the prompt part).


• 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 have to have some way to link you the story.


• 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 AOS or TOS; King Arthur: Legend of the Sword; The Marvel Cinematic Universe (Movie-based only); the Fast and the Furious series; Leverage; The Last Ship; Sleepy Hollow (Seasons 1-3); the Riddick-verse; Jurassic Park/World; Pacific Rim; John Wick; and the Mummy-verse (Brendan Fraser version).
  
  ETA: Person of Interest, Transformers movies, Star Wars!
  
  (I do sometimes take other requests, especially for canons on my current viewing list or continuations of other short-stories/fic series on a case-by-case basis; if it doesn't fit the above fandom list, feel free to ask, but I reserve the right to ask you to find another prompt.)


• If I find your prompt in any way offensive, I will disregard it, too. Fair warning.


• Your prompts can be for one fandom only, or a crossover (fusions on a case-by-case basis, and only with fandoms I've written in before) 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?) It can be a quote, an idea, a specific situation, but it really helps to have something to aim for. Throwing Character X/Character Y, 'whatever' at me is going to get you 'whatever'.
  
  (HOWEVER: If your prompt is > 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 have a full time job; the less review/plotting time your idea needs, the quicker I can write it!)


• I answer the prompts in the order I like best and post them starting in Dec 2017. (Sometimes RL events slow me down, particularly the last few years, but I will always get there eventually).

And that's it! Prompt away! (Whichever site you respond on - I'll keep a running total and close the list when it reaches 24).

Thanks for doing this again. Wishlist used to be one of my favorite parts of the Holiday season (along with Yuletide) and It has been missed.

This made picking a prompt this year really hard. When you announced you were going to accept prompts in Oct. I was leaning to choosing another chapter of your truly excellent Buffy/Mummy-verse WIP "Adventures in Rome" (And if anyone else wants to use that as their prompt for this year please do!!!).

Then I re-read Dresden's "Death Mask" and had a mini Buffy marathon in the same week. It got me thinking on why there isn't any Buffy/Kincaid or Buffy/Thomas Raith fic out there. I've both read and enjoyed Buffy/Dresden fic, and I get that he is the main protagonist of the books but he really isn't Buffy's type. Where as Kincaid is so Buffy's type its not even funny. And Buffy/Thomas after "Turn Coat" and "Changes" for Dresden, and after Buffy's resurrection in season 6 just writes it's self. That was where my prompt for this year was heading until I re-read "In This Life or the Next" 1 day before your prompt post went up.

What can I do. I bow down to fate. Please write the next part to "In This Life or the Next" only from Vlad's point of view. I'd prefer if he didn't know that Buffy is slayer and just thinks that Mirena was reincarnated as a normal girl only to be surprised later on. But if you think him knowing that Buffy is a slayer from the beginning is better for the storyline, by all means do that. I trust you.

On another note have you seen Stranger Things and Good Behavior yet? I recently binged watch and I'm kinda in love.

:) That should be doable; the Buffy!Mirena story is one of my favorites.

I've heard good things about Stranger Things, but I don't do Netflix; if my brother picks them up on DVD, I'll probably see them then. But I've not heard anything about Good Behavior. Deets?
