Prompt Post #18, Newsletter #83 (29 April - 5 May)
Monday, 29 April
Self-prompt: Clameron with a twist. David and Nick notice how smitten with one another Sam and Miriam seem to be and set forth to get them together. May turn out to have some Dave/Nick, too, we'll just have to see! Fill: Could you (want me)? (David Cameron/Samantha Cameron; Nick Clegg/Miriam Gonzalez-Durantez; eventual Samantha Cameron/Miriam Gonzalez-Durantez) (Now complete)
Tuesday, 30 April Self-prompt: In the aftermath of the House of Lords reform and constituency review debacles, Nick is dealing with the difficulties that have arisen from finding himself infatuated with the two most powerful men in the Conservative party, at the same time as struggling to control the all-out war the two government parties have declared on each other. Fill: Best Laid Plans (established George Osborne/David Cameron; eventual George Osborne/David Cameron/Nick Clegg) (Work in progress - as of 5-May-13 through part 41c)
Wednesday, 1 May No new fills
Thursday, 2 May
Self-prompt: I was issued the challenge to write Camerkel based on this: “You can have as many concessions to your argument for as many times you can make me come.” Fill: Debating Techniques (David Cameron/Angela Merkel)
Self-prompt: Not sure if this has been done before. I was imagining what the daemons (from the book series His Dark Materials) of some of our governmental figures would be.
