Occasionally I have a good idea
So, ever since I first got a Twitter account (uh, a year ago >_>) I've wanted to try an idea. 140 character fics. I'm always looking for interesting new writing exercises, and I thought it would also be a fun and useful way of utilizing Twitter to send something more positive out into the ether than just, "I'm having fruit loops for breakfast!" Also, because I love alliterations, I was thinking of doing it as a weekly thing every Friday. I never use the #FF hashtag, so why not reassign it? #FicFriday #140CharFic
Long story short, I tossed the idea out to my feed yesterday (yes I know, Monday/Tuesday, not Friday, but people were having tough Mondays and I thought they could use a little cheer!), and it was met with a lot of positivity. I think I'm going to make it a thing from now on, and if you guys want to jump on it as well, all I can say is go for it.
Here are my filled requests:
As you can see, it's fairly simple (though, holy COW some of the fics you guys have written me in return = CHILLS), and so far I've been including the @ names. Which would technically make these less-than-140-character fics. So far, my only rule is to have a "0" on spare letters by the time I'm finished. But, guys? It's really, really fun.
Feel free to spread this around! #FF

Here are my filled requests:
- BBC Robin Hood, Guy/Marian, for Rachel:
"He wanted to believe he could be different; he wanted to believe she could love him, even if he remained exactly the same."
Hell on Wheels, Lily/Robert, for Laura:
"But it wasn't until after the lecture, when he looked at her with eyes as pregnant as his Kansas thunderstorms, that she knew."
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., Brisco/Dixie, for Missy:
"She's the fire in his bones, and he's the steady man she never did have. Together they reckon they're something akin to whole."
Milliways 'verse, Maid Marian-Lily Bell, for Amanda:
"She has a home to rebuild, a sure place in a troubled world. But so does Lily. A missing roof of hope, & faith in progress."
Once Upon a Time, Graham/Regina, for Jen:
"It's been forty years since she's seen him cry. Now as he shudders, pushing her back, he's unaware that there is one heart aching."
Milliways 'verse, Charles Xavier-Queen Regina (Mills), for Fi:
"He can feel it, even rooms away from the main bar. The echo, the humming. He clutches his head, and knows. The Queen is here."
