ABN's LJ/DW Blogging Prompts
I read a blog prompt that challenged us to come up with more blog prompts. Given how much I complain about questions on many blog prompts/question memes, it's probably time for me to create my own anyway! So, here we go. Keeping this public so it can be shared if you so desire. I went for a variety of topics, and included a few fandom-related questions.
ETA: I added several more! There are now sixty questions, and I edited a little.
1. Describe one of the strangest dreams you've ever had.
2. Growing up, did you live in the same place, or did you move around a lot? If you lived in the same place (more or less, at least), do you still live there?
3. What TV, book or movie series would you love to be rebooted, either as a modern take on the series or as an addition to the original series?
4. What TV, book or movie series do you DREAD getting a reboot?
5. What are your religious/spiritual beliefs, if any? Were you raised with those beliefs?
6. List five pet peeves.
7. Write about something irrational that irritates you.
8. What are some things you liked as a kid no one ever talks about, much to your surprise?
9. Fandom: What was the first fandom you were in?

15. Write about a time when you fought for or about something, only to regret it later.
16. Write about something you're glad you fought for or about.
17. Fandom: Do you prefer focusing on fanworks, meta, or do you like helpings of both?
18. What shows or books do you feel had real potential, but ultimately flopped? What do you think happened?
