Prompt list for the fifth Older Not Dead 'Promptathon'

Feb 27, 2010 15:35

I apologise in advance for the length of this, but we had such a wonderful response this time. I'm posting this today as it was ready and some of you might like to get creating straight away. However, Aingeal and I won't pimp it around until Monday as we know fewer people are around at weekends ( Read more... )

Wow, what a long list ... I hope my muse will cooperate ;)

One tiny thing: The ?. ?/?. you placed under "Leverage" were supposed to be for "any fandom". Maybe you could move them to the end of this list? I guess that happened because I edited my comment ...

nakeisha February 27 2010, 16:23:50 UTC

It certainly is! I hope so too.

Oh, no! I don't believe it. If I checked this once I checked it a dozen times, I kid you not. How the hell did I miss the ?. before the ?/? I just don't know.

No, it wasn't you. It was me. I screwed it up again *sighs* I guess I looked at it too many times. *Bangs head on laptop*

My apologies.

Duly fixed.

nicis_anatomy February 27 2010, 16:33:35 UTC

He, it's no problem. Don't worry. I would've missed it too. Actually, I did, when I checked the list the first time, looking for "my" fandoms. And then I went back thinking about the high amount of prompts for this show and who might have added them ... ;)
I will promote this later at madame_director.

nakeisha February 27 2010, 16:47:34 UTC

It is to me *sighs* But it's fixed; it's just I checked so many times. I know it was fairly easy to miss. Glad you caught it. Thanks.

Oh, thank you very much indeed. I appreciate that.

You'll see a few Kort/Jenny were prompted by someone other than thee and me *g*

Happy writing. *Eyes own muse*

wow - what a long list indeed!

Some prompts has given me a few ideas for both fics & graphic art!

Will pimp this out at my journal. :)

nakeisha March 1 2010, 12:20:21 UTC

It's the longest we've had!

Oh, good *Rubs hands*

And thank you!

... Damn. That is a huge list. The any fandoms could be fun for me...

nakeisha March 2 2010, 14:08:06 UTC

It certainly is *g*

And it has indeed been fun for you *g*

femme_slash_fan March 2 2010, 15:09:54 UTC

LOL it's only been 2 so far... plenty more coming.

nakeisha March 2 2010, 16:32:23 UTC

Hm... I have written a 500 word story using one of the prompts for Gibbs, but I'm not sure, if it would work with the general theme here. It's set after Gibbs and Hollis broke up and about how Gibbs is cursed, because no relationship after Shannon really worked out. So it somehow has the 'love theme' (and maybe the break-up could be work as 'hate'), but no real pairing - more gen/past-relationship (Gibbs/Hollis or Gibbs/Shannon, Gibbs/Jenny) :(
I can't use it here, can I?
I mean, it wouldn't be a big problem, if not, because I would use for ncisdrabble100 anyway *g*

nakeisha March 11 2010, 16:24:07 UTC

Hmmm, now that's an interesting question.

I think it would depend on how long after Gibbs/Mann had split up. If it was pretty much instantly, then yes, because it could still be about the pairing and why they broke up. But if it's some time after it and it's more about past relationships in general, then it wouldn't really fit.

Gibbs/Shannon wouldn't fit because of the age thing.

It's difficult because this is for pairings, but given the theme and some of the prompts eg. 'walk away and don't look back', it can easily be a pair breaking up/having literally just broken up and it's about that, then it fits. But from what you say your quintuple drabble isn't really about that, is it?

nicis_anatomy March 11 2010, 16:32:08 UTC

I don't know ... I think it's hard to use the theme "hate" with a pairing, isn't it? ;)
I haven't mentioned how long it is since they broke up. I used the prompt "Why do romantic dates ... always end sanding your boat" from that scene in 5.03 and that this was the moment when the relationship really ended. And then he realizes that no relationship ever worked after Shannon(/Jenny) and that maybe he should stop trying (=don't look back?).
Hm ... maybe I can rewrite it, so that the story takes place right after Hollis left to make it work? That would take only a few changes.
Or I will not use it for this community at all.

And yes, Shannon wouldn't work - I realized that on my way home ;) Sorry ...

Scratch everything I wrote earlier... I changed it into the break-up scene with a 'move on and don't look back' theme in the end. That should fit here ;) (if not, I can always delete it again)

nakeisha March 12 2010, 16:28:20 UTC

Well done you!

Actually 'hate' can work well if indeed it is break up or someone cheating or even the 'I hate your new ties' *whistles*
