Random prompts anyone?

Sep 15, 2010 23:19

I have a nifty book called "The Complete Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook". I realized while looking something up tonight that most of it makes for great fic prompts. So, if anyone wants an entirely random prompt that ranges from mortal danger to extreme crack, here's what to do ( Read more... )

blithering, wtf, random, writing

No promises on getting anything accomplished with it, but . . . let's go with 194, 238, 96, 70, and 506.

Yeah, I picked five. I LIKE OPTIONS.

*chortles evilly*

194. "How to survive if you are buried alive"

238. "How to vomit correctly." (No. Really.)

96. The tail end of "How to jump rooftop to rooftop"

70. "How to escape from a bear."

506. The "There is no Santa Claus" speech.

Bonus points if you use them all in the same fic?

Oh man, said fic would be EPIC.

We'll see what I manage to come up with.

Bonus points AND cookies!

I am going to match these up with my still open snapshots prompts so I think this will become crack.

I take uhm 24, 58, 99, 106, 180, 236 and 333 and please 2 barrels of spare time.

caffienekitty September 16 2010, 15:49:59 UTC

I knew I should've set an upper limit of five. Doing that now.

24. How to fend off a shark

58. How to fend off a charging reindeer

99. How to jump from a moving train.

106. How to survive if your parachute fails to open.

180. How to sneak out of a meeting.

236. How to cure insomnia.

333. How to get a job you're not qualified for: Shoe salesperson.

No free time available, I'm afraid.

aescu September 17 2010, 09:34:26 UTC

Oh... I shouldn't have read that, I'm exploding with ideas right now and too much other stuff to do O_o
333 + 5.08 + Dean/Sam/Cas as Al Bundy? weird...

I'll bite...217

caffienekitty September 16 2010, 15:44:13 UTC

217. How to survive a rollover in a car.

bubblesbrnaid September 16 2010, 11:44:57 UTC

190
420
310

What the hell, right?

caffienekitty September 16 2010, 15:43:10 UTC

190. Ooo. "How to survive if trapped in the workplace" Subsection: "In a lion cage - If the lion is not immediately visible."

420. How to survive baby-gear overload

310. How to repair a dropped cake. (Wedding cake in the book)

bubblesbrnaid September 16 2010, 15:51:48 UTC

The sad part? I already know how to repair cakes. My mother used to make wedding cakes on the side and I was the poor schmuck who ended up stuck in the back seat making sure the damn things didn't shift during transport. :)

190. Any workplace, or specifically one I've been employed at? :)

caffienekitty September 16 2010, 16:57:40 UTC

Entirely up to you. Real or metaphorical lion cage and who you want in there as bait/distraction, also up to you. ;-)

Sorry, but I don't think I have the skills to write anything

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude! Come on! You know I know you do! Give it a shot, even if you never ever show it to anyone. :-D
