FICATHON PROMPTS

[tootsiemuppet]

It is Friday, and you know what that means! Ficathon!

The rules of fic still apply:
- you have time until next Friday, 12 o'clock midnight GMT (so in effect, the night between Friday and Saturday).
- you can write as many fics as you like, with any rating you like
- put in the prompt as the title to your comment
- if your fic is too long for one comment

*cough* I got some in under the wire just before this went up....

Eta hang on, were you using 12 am for midnight or midday? I was assuming midday, in keeping with our style guide... ack! Flail?

[tootsiemuppet]

No worries, I'll just add them now. That's what the edit button is for.

[snakey]

\o/ So, do we have until 12 noon or 12 midnight next week to write these? *sneaks stealthily back into the fandom, shhhh*

[tootsiemuppet]

Ahh, make it midnight. :)

Fanny/Charlotte – beaux

[ilthit]

A Good Bet

‘I shall never get married,’ sighed Fanny. She was drooping over the little tea-table in the sitting-room, knowing full well her mother taught her better than to ever slouch, her stiching dangling from her idle hand.

‘Possibly. However, I am quite drowning in beaux and could pick and choose if I liked.’ Charlotte sat primly at the edge of her chair, straight-backed as she stitched.

‘You cat! I could take any of your beaux if I liked - and so could the pig-girl! I shan’t get married until I find the perfect man, and I don’t think such exists.’

‘Fib! You know you were all but in love with Mr Pullings once.’

‘That was a long time ago and in any case, he’s married. But you can’t marry a sailor, or you’ll never see him! And if you marry a medical man, he might stick around, but then you’d have corpses in your cellar and horrible books with pictures on the bookshelves. It’s the same with all the professions. You’d have to marry a lord or a second son with a private fortune, someone who doesn’t run off or bring his work home

Oh dear, turns out Charlotte wouldn't have been able to point to the Bible to condemn gambling. Apparently it's one of those things that isn't a sin.

Aww...*g*

Mrs Williams/Mrs Morris – Scandalous!

[ilthit]

The Very Idea

Continued!

[ilthit]

‘These letters concern Mrs Tewt and a famous London scandal involving a certain lady, who shall remain nameless as her case does not concern our little community here. The case hangs upon the testimony of the maid. The lady and Mrs Tewt had been bosom buddies, and there shall be more about that later,’ Mrs Random tittered, ‘and they had been seen everywhere together - theatre, opera, restaurants around the city. It was said that the lady supported Mrs Tewt, who was quite penniless. Her husband had abandoned her long ago, and good for him, if you ask me. Well! One morning, the maid says, she came to awaken the lady and draw the curtains, as was her duty, and she came upon her lady in bed with Mrs Tewt, both naked as the day they were born (though there is a rumour that Mrs Tewt was still wearing her garters) and asleep in each other’s arms. Now that alone she found most queer, but said nothing, and brought them dinner in bed as she was bid. When she returns, the ladies are sitting up, now somewhat covered, and locked in a passionate

Undoubtedly the reason you ASKED FOR IT. :D

Re: Stephen, Ducos – ‘les yeux'

[tootsiemuppet]

This was wonderful. And coming from someone who's not even in StC, you can believe that. Brava! :D

*applauds*

Re: Stephen, Ducos – ‘les yeux'

[tootsiemuppet]

Oh, I assumed Ducos was a PC from Show the Colours. *blush*

My ignorance is showing.
