Hello, everyone. I’m
squidgiepdx and your host for the week. Today's theme is random tags. How random, eh? So if you need inspiration, you can head over to AO3 and click on the
"Random Tags" part of Browse Tags, and get a bunch of them. Then all you need to do is pick something and run with it, whether it's writing a story about
Roommates or
Forehead Touching, or maybe even
Drag Queens. Whatever the tag, run with it!
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...
+ due South, Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski, "Roommates"
+ 9-1-1, Any &or/any, "Forehead Touching"
+ Stargate Atlantis, Any &or/Any, "Drag Queens"
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!
