Hee-hee!

My entry on this was awhile back, but the second of the two drabbles did indeed feature Evil!Trees.

Which you know they probably secretly are.

Nicely done!

Thanks!

I didn't steal inspiration from you, honest, I didn't even read your fic until after I finished mine and was browsing through memories and trying to figure out the challenge number. Oh, and I liked yours too (I'm just bad at reviewing.)

Now, if one were to take every prompt and make it somehow evil or menacing ...

(Plot bunny looks around, ignores the carrot with "almost" written on it, and starts hopping towards the carrot with "ornament(s)" on it.)

:D No, I didn't think this was because of mine at all. The same "take" on a drabble prompt usually occurs to several people. It's actually better when the prompt is more open-ended, because it's easier to vary it.

"Trees" was not one of the better prompts to me, nor "presents" or "wrapping" or "awards."

Things that are too specific and/or too far outside of the Winchester Worldview tend to kind of fall flat to me.

There are lots of great older ones, so you could ignore "ornaments." No one would hurt you. :)

I agree that the more limited prompts, like "trees", do tend to inspire the same sort of fics -- now that I've gone back and read them!

Although I think it's very interesting to see how much varitey there is within those limitations!

I'm a little odd in that I tend to work better (IMHO) within the more restrictive prompts, although the results may not be the most original.

Give me a prompt like "trees" and I have fun. Give me a nice, open, you can go anywhere with it prompt like "almost ..." (which I think is a good prompt) and I flounder.
