Fine. We'll do it the hard way.
Right. So. Long story short, I have a horrible case of writing block, going on two months. The kind where I can't open any story folders without being overcome by a screaming case of the fantods. And I'm pretty much out of safe, legal forms of distraction from the condition.
In this state, I don't trust myself not to ruin anything I touch, but if I don't try something, it is entirely possible I will pop down to the neighborhood liquor store for a bottle of absinthe and then go get my entire face tattooed and change my facebook profile to SITH LORD. This is the tame option; the thought of getting up to real trouble just makes me tired.
So here's a different thought. I'll take prompts, instead. From anyone. Lob some questions about characters into the comments, and I'll try to answer them. I don't care who it is, just as long as I don't have to think about plots or any works in progress or anything. Linear reasoning is bad, it's not working out for me right now. They could be DVD-commentary questions on existing stories, they could be random questions directly to the characters, they could be essay questions, or Dear Abby questions. Pretend it's a reddit AMA, whatever you're dying to know.
In return for your consideration, here's a very pleasant remix I'm currently grooving to, featuring the Notorious BIG. I can't write, but I can rec music like a mofo.
