Days 11-14 Prompt Round-Up
We're finally in the home stretch with regard to prompting and I'm happy to say we suffer from an embarrassment of riches. There are so many prompts of so much variation (yes, there's even a sword swallower option.), many which very open ended, that authors and artists should have no problem with finding something that makes a rabid plot bunny start chewing on their brain.
Nevertheless, we still have a couple of days left, so feel free to add to our treasure trove of prompts if you have something you'd love to see someone possibly tackle or that you, yourself would like to write/draw.
Gen
Prompt #135: Pairing(s)/Characters: Padfoot
For Fic/Art/Either: either
Prompt: What was Padfoot's journey across the North Sea to Hogwarts like, did he have any adventures or run into any trouble in his travels? Think Homeward Bound meets Escape from Alcatraz. ;)
Maximum Rating (G to NC-17): any
Prompt #113: Pairing(s)/Characters: Gen, but would prefer Sirius and his friends as main characters.
For Fic/Art/Either: Fic
Prompt: They were all told about the cursed purple sapphire, yet they chose not to believe in it. According to legend, you have to touch the purple sapphire and horrible things will happen to you. So of course, acting on a dare one of the characters (author chooses who) will touch it. As is expected, nothing horrible happens until a few days afterwards. At first it is minor things like a beloved family heirloom or a possession gets broken as if by unseen hands, but then it becomes terrifying when the person slowly goes mad.
Maximum Rating (G to NC-17): Any rating
Likes: character exploration, ancient curses, detective work, friendship, hurt/comfort, angst, madness, having the pants scared off of me, classic ghost/horror story. Author can take it anyway they want, really. I'll be happy with creativity in any form.
Dislikes: happy endings without explanation

Prompt #120: Pairings/Characters: Sirius, Hogwarts students and staff (especially the Weasley twins!), Harry
For Fic/Art/Either: Either!
Prompt: Sirius dies after only a few months in Azkaban and shortly thereafter, shows up as a ghost at Hogwarts. But he's not haunting the school--he's haunting the Marauders' Map. How does one adjust to death, encourage mischief, and avoid exorcism as a criminal and all-around Bad Influence? Who finds out that he's haunting the Map? And how does he react to Harry's arrival?

For Fic/Art/Either: Wherever the Muse may take you.
Prompt: 'The first thing he thought when he saw her were that her eyes were the colour of death, but he'd had enough etiquette lessons beaten into his head (Thick-skulled lout! his mother said) not to say so.'

For Fic/Art/Either: I see fic, but if the Art Muse is insistent, go ahead!
Prompt: People didn't suddenly change their opinions of Sirius overnight, October 31-November 1, 1981. Who doubted, and why?

Maximum Rating: NC-17
Likes: Angst, suffering, and woe.
Dislikes: Simple explanations, character bashing.
Slash

For Fic/Art/Either: Fic

Maximum Rating (G to NC-17): NC17
Prompt #124: Pairing(s)/Characters: Harry/Sirius
For Fic/Art/Either: Fic

Maximum Rating (G to NC-17): any
Likes: canon, all sexualities are good: feel free to either slash any Marauders or go solidly gen
