Thursday - Birthdays & Other Milestones
Hello, everyone. I’m captainamergirl I am your host for today.
Today's theme is Birthdays & Other Milestones. With the holidays coming up, important events like b-days, bar mitzvahs, graduations, etc. tend to get overlooked, but they are just as important as those red letter days and should be celebrated too. How does your favorite character react when they turn the big 5-0? Do they welcome getting older or do they go into crisis mode? Graduation day is something every kid looks forward to but what if your character is failing all their classes (whoopsie!)? Is your character celebrating a week, a month, or a year of sobriety? There are many ideas for this theme. Let’s go!
Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Any, any, 25th wedding anniversary
+ Any, any, buying a house
+ General Hospital, Danny Morgan + / any, the first birthday without his mom
+ Superstore, Bo Thompson/Cheyenne Lee, their baby’s first steps
We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2024 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].
While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.
As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!
If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word!
