Claim your prompts here!
Remember:
- Writers have 2 weeks to claim a prompt (Today until Monday, December 1)
- 1 prompt per person
- First-come, first-served. If you want a prompt, don't hesitate
- Stories are due Wed. January 7th
- Fic must be a minimum of 2500 words. Any rating is accepted.
- Spoiler warnings should be used on both prompts and fics involving spoilers for the later episodes of S5
- Once the adoption period ends, any unadopted prompts will be available to anyone who wants a second prompt.
- Claiming a prompt to write is a commitment. Please do not claim a prompt to write unless you are willing to get it done by the deadline. If you need to withdraw for any reason, please make sure you let me know so the prompt can be released
Prompts are loosely organized by first name (where we know the first name) and split into "Gen" and "Ship" groups. Any prompt containing even vague spoilers for S5 has a warning in front of it. I did discard a few prompts for being too vague, too long or too short (one word). A few of them were very similar as well.
Have at it!
ETA: I will go through and strikeout prompts as they are claimed, but ALWAYS CHECK THE COMMENTS TO MAKE SURE THE PROMPT YOU WANT HASN'T BEEN TAKEN YET. I'll keep up to the best of my ability. At least until LJ goes down tomorrow and all. :\
