Advent fic offer + Christmas cards + Rosh HaShannah headcanon/ficlet sketch thing

[marta_bee]

(1) I'm trying to get back into the practice of writing fic and I'd like to do something for Advent which will be here before I think any of us would like to admit, so I'd like to ask for prompts

If I can give you an advent fic prompt I would say ACD Sherlock, slash, Holmes/Watson, pining!

[marta_bee]

Thanks! As I said I may not be able to fill them all but I do like that theme and I haven't written nearly enough ACD, so I will certainly try.

[indybaggins]

Pining is my favourite ACD trope, it works so, so well for them. I know how these challenges go, so it's totally fine if you don't got to it! But if you do, I'm very much looking forward to reading what you come up with :)

I'd love a glimpse of Faramir and Merry during those days in the Houses of Healing. We know Faramir asked Merry about Eowyn. But I'm sure that Merry wanted to know about Faramir's encounter with Frodo in Ithilien.

[marta_bee]

Oh, lovely idea! I think I've written a story that Mery featured into giving Faramir insight into Eowyn, though I'm trying to think which. Maybe I'll have to poke around and find it.

But Faramir and Merry sitting by a wall in the sun and trading tales of Frodo - wouldn't that be a lovely ficlet? The usual proviso applies (I may not get to all, so don't be disappointed, etc.) but I will do my best.

This is brilliant of you to offer, and if it's not to much trouble, I would love a ficlet. Right now I'm ravenous for everything MCU Steve/Bucky, but I'm happy to read Star Trek (Kirk/Spock) or Tolkien (anything involving Elrohir or Faramir, gen or slash).

Prompt: cold (originally I was thinking temperature, because come December it'll be summer here in Australia and I'll be thinking longingly of winter, but it can also mean illness if that suits you better).

If you'd like to receive a card from Australia, please message me (via LJ or tumblr) an address I can send one to!

Thanks so much again for thinking of me ♥

Themes that have more than one meaning really appeal to my inner linguist. It also may be fun to play with cold in an emotionally distant kind of way.

I have a few ideas and we'll see what I can come up with. Usual provisos apply (time and inspiration come and go, I may not get to all prompts to please don't be disappointed), but if I can I'll definitely write it.

Hey I made an LJ account for this :)
If I could give you a ficlet prompt...it would probably be ACD Holmes/Watson, with something fluffy, like Holmes in a fit because he needs a case or something (just a thought, can be anything), because there really isn't a lot of ACD fluff around!

When I saw your message on tumblr I danced a little. I have never been offered a prompt before!

[marta_bee]

Yay! Glad to make your morning a little brighter.

You're right, there simply isn't enough ACD fluff in the world, which is ironic because basically every canon story opens with the most charming domesticity. Whereas BBC Sherlock is angst city in some ways but there is just so much fluff in the fandom.

It would be... not wholly inaccurate to say I have an idea. Or three. We'll see what I can come up with. Thanks for helping me do this.

Hey there! Thanks for thinking of me for this.

Your missionprompt, should you choose to accept it:

ACD Holmes, H/W, "glittering"

Good luck, and have fun with the advent and the writing of cards. (I used to do them, but not any more; time is seldom on my side. Well done you, getting started in such a timely fashion.)

Thanks again!
