(no subject)
I'm comforting myself for not being able to write (either the story I want to continue, or the stories I volunteered for, or anything, really) by posting all the prompt fills I can lay my hands on from months gone by when I still knew how to use a keyboard.
I'm not sure I've actually written anything that wasn't a prompt fill in the last few years. Well, except for my Purimgifts stories, which is possibly why I always end up sweating (happy joyful) blood over those. Weird.
Start With a Larger Pot - Avengers. Prompt: After their missions, Steve makes food for all the Avengers.
Playing From the Bench - Supernatural. Prompt: Jess is a hunter; Sam is the ghost she's not sure she wants to stop haunting her. It was supposed to be shippy, but I... don't really want to ship Sam Winchester with anyone, never mind his ceiling girlfriend.
Decide What It Means - My So-Called Life. Prompt: Rayanne/Angela, "I want to rob lumber mills and hospitals with you, and just bewilder the hell out of people. The way love should."
That last one is hands-down my favorite, though somehow in a way that makes it okay that no one reads MSCL fic. And this is the magic of prompts, really, because somewhere in the back of my mind I always wanted to write a Rayanne story -- maybe not this Rayanne story, but something -- and on my own, I can't imagine I would have.
One of my biggest fandom wishes (right next to more Ray/Brad) will always be that MSCL could be more recent, and yet somehow still be the show so many of us watched as teenagers, so that there could be dozens of Rayanne Graff stories out there. Because I always felt like, in the show's mind, she was That Girl You Knew When You Were Young, who's then gone from the story forever. And I still resent the hell out of that.
...My new big fandom wish is a Generation Kill/My So-Called Life story where Ray Person and Rayanne Graff have even one second of interaction. That's probably going to happen any second now, right?
Completely unrelated to all of this, that Avengers story up there is... a bit awkwardly written, in all honesty. I always mean to put a note up here when I post to AO3 and then I never do, but if you want to try my attempts at writing Avengers you're probably better off reading A Big-Screen Life, a.k.a the story that got me the most hits and kudos-es I'll ever have on anything. Shut up, this is a lot for me.
