What to write for this week-end?

[benebu]

+ multi_ficathon is running - 25 prompts in 24 hours anyone? The clock is ticking... (link to the rules post)

+ rarepair_shorts has launched a Clue(do) ficathon. I'm thinking of Bill/Sirius with the Revolver in the Library, but I'm open to suggestions (if you don't mind them having about one chance in 10 of ever being written).

+ Of course, I have to mention writing_game's current

Have you thought about stealing some of
dailyprompt's prompts?

It is! Okay, I'm partial because I've already held a Cluedo challenge on one of the French comms I mod (which makes me kind of proud, because lately I've resorted to borrowing challenges from English-speaking comms more than once, but nope, this one I had thought up all by myself^^) I've been trying to come up with good ideas and find myself quite limited by the range of items offered. Plain old 'Quill and Parchment' or '** spell' would have suited me better. (At least, this is my theory for why in spite of staring at my blinking cursor for hours yesterday, I have nothing to show.)

You just do that :D

I'm having trouble with my first prompt on writing_game - well, the prompt, and the fact that I want to write in Life on Mars, which I've never written for before. (But at least I have my DVD at hand, surely it should count for something?)

Considering that I was never inspired by daily_prompt to write even once, nahh ^^;; I should probably browse old 31_days prompts though.

You can cheat and modify your answer to get a different prompt. *coughs*
what's Life on Mars about?

Really? I love their prompts.
You know, you can also use past writing_game prompts^^

Yeah, I thought about that. Or I can skip my first prompt, right? (Seriously, next time? Home will be: pick whichever square that inspires you to write something.)

Life on Mars ♥

British show, 2 seasons. Set in Manchester. 2006. DI Sam Tyler is in a car accident. He finds himself back in 1973. Is he mad, in a coma, or has he travelled back in time? Nobody knows, himself least of all. Why trying to figure *that* out, he joins the 1973 police - they think he's the new transfered guy they were waiting for. He's in for a serious cultural clash (what do you mean, 'proper police procedure'? We beat them up til they confess. Works a treat!). It's intriguing, it's fun, the characters are wonderful, and there's one case the team works on per episode. Plus all the angsting you can get about poor-Sammy-poo, lost in the past, with nobody to talk to about his predicament. Well, nobody who'll believe he's sane, at any rate.

There's been a US remake, but I can't tell you about it because I haven't seen it.
