*takes a deep breath*
Alright.
I've committed to doing this, so I need y'all's help.
A few days ago, microgirl8225 took on a project of rather epic proportions - a fic-a-day Advent calendar starting on December 1st and going all the way to Christmas Day. Well that sounds just about crazy enough to try with a doable word limit.
So here I go:
"From December 1 to December 25 I will write at least 100 words for my friends. Leave your Name, Fandom, Pairing, Prompt, and the Date and I will write you a little something. I'll allow people to start with two dates and then open it up later if I need spots to fill."
Anyone watching my journal with half an eye realizes I haven't written anything in well over a year. I'd like to change that, and I think I can manage 2500 words over the course of three weeks. Most of you know what I watch/watched and which pairings I prefer, but I'm just going to put a little list at the end of this as a reminder. PLEASE hold me to this. Email, DM, PM, public shaming, whatever works. I want to do this, and I feel like I *need* to do this, so have at me.

December 15
December 16 - Kway, Sara/Grissom, early days

December 23 - gracent_dic, BSG, D'Anna Biers-centric

Fandoms: Lost (canon pairings, if I must; "Coake", gen, character-centric, etc), Babylon5 (canon pairings, gen), Firefly/Serenity (canon pairings, gen, character studies), Angel (canon pairings, character-centric, character studies, etc), Farscape (canon pairing(s), character studies, gen), CSI: LV (Sara/Grissom, AU, gen, etc), Criminal Minds (Rossi/Prentiss, the occasional Hotch/JJ character studies, gen), Supernatural (gen, character studies, Castiel/Dean - my first and only slash ship! - viewed up to 7x02), Battlestar Galactica (prefer no pairings or canon pairings, but I'll give anything a go considering how everyone slept with everyone else on that show :-p), ST:TNG (canon, gen), ST:DS9 (canon, gen), Doctor Who (canon, gen, character studies, etc), Law and Order: Criminal Intent (Goren/Eames, gen, character studies, etc), and tons of other things I'm certain I've forgotten. Just ask if you have any Q's.
I will also happily post original fic or continuations of old fics if you like. You can ask for a "time-stamp" from an old fic or request a personal post, whatever. The point is for me to be creative and write and hopefully gift something to you that you want as well.
I'm going to be terrible at this, I'm just warning you ahead of time. But I hope we all have fun anyway.
I'm leaving this post public so non-friended/friends-in-law who might be interested that you want to pass this along to can comment.
