oldschoolfic back-to-school ficathon prompts up

[brightknightie]

The oldschoolfic back-to-school ficathon prompts are now available for claiming, and there were 15 Forever Knight prompts to start.  To review, the game is to pick a prompt, write a story (500 words or more), and post it to the community by September 30, and yep, you don't need to have submitted a prompt in order to claim one

Oh darn it! I kept meaning to post prompts and it completely passed me by. However you certainly did a great job of representing FK. I tip my hat to you, especially for the "Spin Doctor" Nick prompt. It's right in line with a prompt I wanted to post.

I'm gonna take your Cohen prompt for a spin. 500 words by September 30th shouldn't be too hard, right, lol. ::kicks my lazy muse::

Oh, this was great news! I'm delighted that you will be playing. And thank you for the compliment on the prompts.

>"It's right in line with a prompt I wanted to post."

This is excellent, too. Your remark moved me to go claim the "Spin Doctor" prompt, because this makes it feel more like I'm writing for a concept someone else might like to read, and not only for a prompt I gave myself (which is okay, but just a different dynamic).

Might you share what you had in mind? You don't have to! I was thinking that if they were compatible, I might merge them...

I hope the Captain Cohen prompt works for you! (Now, I did see you post a Masters of the Universe thing, recently, right?)

Might you share what you had in mind? You don't have to! I was thinking that if they were compatible, I might merge them...It wasn't really anything definite but more of a concept about Nick that's always appealed to me. I always appreciated that Nick took the initiative to educate himself. A formal classroom setting may have been a bit difficult but not entirely impossible in some variation with the availability of independent study and night classes. As a vampire with the entire world at his fingertips Nick could have very easily chosen to utilize the school of life rather than a structured academic setting but he didn't. Heck even by choosing law enforcement as a way of giving back he had to pursue formal training at an academy. To me that really emphasizes Nick's desire to learn and grow as an individual

Hopefully, my ficathon story will be one to add to this collection. ~fingers crossed~ Thank you for sharing your thoughts on that; it helped me think of the prompt as hot just one I'd generated myself.

>"Other than Kathy Whelton's "Making Amends" I really haven't seen much fic that centers on Cohen so I think this'll be a nice opportunity."

There's very, very little, and Kathy W.'s "Making Amends" is good. I seem to recall that Lisa McD. once wrote a vignette about Cohen, but those are the only two that pop to mind!
