Y'know...I figure the easiest way to chase the Dinobots out of my brain is to threaten to write 100 fanfics about them. ;) So at lunch today...I created a 100 fanfic challenge for myself. Since I don't really like most of the prompts for the "official" challenge, I instead used various prompt generators to randomly give myself 100 words/phrases, mostly one-word adjectives. Then, I used a die to randomly assign a Dinobot to each prompt. (1=Grimlock, 2=Slag, 3=Sludge, 4=Snarl, 5=Swoop, 6=All of them) I came up with some interesting stuff, actually.
1. Mistake (All)
*gasp!* They NEVER make mistakes. NEVER! :D
2. Need (Sludge)
"Prismacolors! My kingdom for some Prismacolors!"
3. Grumpy (Snarl)
'Cuz that, like, NEVER happens. :)
4. Loud (Sludge)
Irony! Well, only because "my" Sludge is not particularly loud. Ah well. I guess he can be. :)
5. Bitter (All)
Not them, noooooo...
6. Beginnings (Snarl)
"In the beginning, there was Snarl, and he was...not very good."
7. Damaged (Slag)
'Cuz that, like, NEVER happens! *echo*
8. Picnic (All)
This...should be cute. ;)
9. Awkward (Grimlock)
Are you cooing? I'm cooing! ;)
10. Unworthy (Swoop)
Just what I need! MOAR PTEROSAUR ANGST!
11. Neurosis (Snarl)
Not Snarl, no...
12. Beautiful (Sludge)
This one actually works very well, indeed, yeeeeesssss...
13. Terrified (Grimlock)
'Cuz, y'know, that happens a lot. *nods*
14. Children (All)
Well, they ARE children, so I guess that one won't be too hard...
15. Toasted (Slag)
This just works on so many different levels, including the colloquial. *rofl*
16. Grudge (All)
Oh yeah. Dinobots vs. Constructicons FTW. Maybe. Then again, given my utter lack of action/combat-writing skills, I guess we'll just have to see...
17. Forgiveness (Grimlock)
He's...not too good at that, actually. It would have been very easy if he alone had gotten "grudge," in fact.
18. Alone Together (Slag & Swoop)
*headdesk* I swear to GOD! Even the frickin' DIE wants me to write smut! I'm doomed...
19. Sick (Swoop)
Aw! Physician, heal thyself! *snicker*
20. Beloved (Grimlock)
Oh! Cuteness abounds! Totally...
21. Repulsive (Swoop)
Well, well. My chance to actually write something with *gasp* canon Dinobots. OH THE HORROR!
22. Ancient (Slag)
Dang. Was hoping Snarl would get this one. No. Such. Luck.
23. Touch (All)
Whoa! The world does NOT need to see a Dinobot orgy... *drags mind out of gutter*
24. Gentle (Grimlock)
More kyootness!

Wha...? Uh. Yeah. That one'll require some thought... LOTS of thought...

They're gonna looooooove that... *snicker*
27. Outside (Grimlock)
Grimlock. Romping through the wildflowers. You know you want to see it.
28. Ancedotes (Sludge)
'Cuz, y'know, he's such a storyteller and all. *rolls eyes*
29. Conspiracy (Snarl)
Snarl the Conspiracy Theorist. I can totally dig it. Seriously!
30. Trapped (Slag)
I'll let you in on a bit of a secret: Slag's got a bit of claustrophobia. So this should be...fun. *evil grin*
31. Power Struggle (Grimlock)
*rofl* Optimus had better watch his shiny metal hiney. ;)

44. Newcomer (Snarl)
He was one, once.
45. Asleep (All)
This...gives me visions of Absolute Total Fuzz. Oh. My. GOD!
46. Frigid (Grimlock)
Thank God Swoop didn't get this one. I'd've had Absolute Pterosaur Rebellion on my hands. He's had enough of me making him freeze. *snicker*
47. Addiction (Grimlock)
Hmmm...Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
48. Protocol (Swoop)
Swoop doesn't give a fig about it, so that should be fun.
