And if we all could spread a little sunshine
All could lend a helping hand
We all would be a little closer
to the Promised Land...

WAFFathon: Official Prompt Collection Thread

Fandom is fun, but let's face it... it rains shit on our favorite characters, all the freakin' time. It's time to let them have their heart's desire, give them a moment of peace, see their eyes light up and give us the warm fuzzies something fierce. I hereby declare the first-ever WAFFathon!

( This post is for prompt collecting. Dive below the cut to deposit your warm fuzzies! )

I'll be out of town Saturday through Monday, so please behave yourselves. I look forward to making the internets a little happier along with you!

EDIT MONDAY NIGHT: PROMPTS ARE NOW CLOSED. PLEASE SEE THE OVERFLOW THREAD FOR MORE. THANKS!

another meme cuz i need moar carpal tunnel plz

1: Name your ten favourite titles from stories you've written (or, if you're not a writer, just name your ten favourite titles).

we're talking best titles, not necessarily best fics here? I'm terrible with titles. I can only think of three of which I'm especially proud.

1) The Forever Kind. Like how this gives you a hint that isn't fulfilled 'til the end.
2) Fathers' Day. My favorite kinds of titles are those that put a little twist on a common theme - it makes you want to read the fic so you can find out how it differs. And speaking of which:
3) The Game of the Name (flocked). Don't you want to know why it's not the other way around? I do, and I wrote it. :D

2: If you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence/paragraph/whatever from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favorite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don't mention anything else -- this is merely to whet the general appetite for your forthcoming work(s).

I've posted snippets from my book before, but here's another one:

( villain backstory! )

Here are a couple of other WIPs sitting around on my hard drive...
( a basketballer and a hassid )
( heroes fic from perspective of maury )
~~
( Mohinder's old boyfriend calls him up. i'd forgotten i'd written this one. )
( The Phantom of the Company is STILL a wip! )
( Tidal Waves, Part II )
~~
( i just started writing this piece of crap last night )
~~
( My other big novel idea )
~~
( And technically, Aftermath is still a work in progress. )

I want to extend yesterday's drabblebar because a) I had so much freakin' fun last night and b) tonight looks to be another slow night. (We'll see... famous last words). Pairing & prompt. If you just give me a prompt I'll know what pairing :P :P :P But feel free to challenge me to stretch my horizons and pick an alternate pairing.

If a drabble isn't your speed tonight, feel free to work with the following three audience-participation memes. I'll respond as appropriate.

What do you think are the quote-unquote "trademarks" of the fiction that I write? What type of themes or characterization notes or quirks keep on manifesting in my writing? Essentially, what do you think is a stereotypically tiptoe39 way of writing fic?

Or

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal canon.

Or

Pick a fandom and ask me:
Favorite scene (overall)
Favorite scene that makes me laugh
Favorite scene that make me cry
Scene that makes me RAGE
Favorite shippy scene for_________

Write a drabble based on your current default icon. No changing it! Any fandom or no fandom at all.

( Okay, here we go. )

At comment request I will drabble on any of your or my icons assuming I have time to do so.
