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The wishlist_fic community is no longer active, but I participated for several years, and it was a good source of motivation to me to keep writing, so I'm going to collect another 24 prompts this year and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).

So cool that you're doing this! My first thought (because I equate you with the movies now *g*) was Olympus/London Has Fallen, but it's not on your list. *sad face*

So I'll go with Person of Interest since you added that one and I was recently reminded how much I love that show. Either A) John/Harold, alternate ending to the series finale where (since you've written 44 fic - and I've bookmarked that page to read your fic - I'm presuming that you've seen the finale o_O but just in case) you-know-what didn't happen or B) Shaw/Root post-finale where you-know-what ~did happen, how they interact, work together, etc

(Let me know if you can't do post-finale fic because you ~haven't yet seen the finale.)

Thank you in advance!

I am eventually going to pick the Has Fallen 'verse back up, since the threequel's due in theaters sometime next year. But the story I want to tell next there is going to be a lot longer than is suitable for a short-story wishlist like this, so. :)

I did, in fact, finally watch the last season of POI last winter. Not my favorite season of TV ever - my interest waned a lot after Carter died and the arcs shifted to the AI war - but it did have some good moments. And I know exactly what I want to do with the finale, so. :) :) Your prompt is #19/24!

Awesome, thank you! (I stole a shortened version of your fic offering; if I happen to write in any fandoms you like I'll write you a gift in return *g*)
