My Lyrics Prompts
In addition to my personal 100-item Prompt List, I'm giving myself a list of Lyric Prompts to write ficlets based off of. I'll add lyrics to the list as I find inspiration. These ficlets (at least 500 words) might be crossover OR pure, just depends on what I'm feeling when I write them. This was prompted by the fact that I constantly write down lyrics snippets that I find particularly fic inspiring, only to lose the pieces of paper I write them on. *grin* I'll also write in the fandom and/or characters that I think I'm gonna write from the lyrics as I figure them out.
NOTE: Some of these lyrics are explicit. Don't click to read unless you're old enough to do so and don't have delicate sensibilities, mmmkay?
