Yayyyy. :P Officially in the Christmas spirit - my house looks like a holiday bomb went off and now a prompt table! It'll be an interesting challenge to keep things under 300 words...........
It does make us better! At least, it makes us work a little harder, rather than just posting whatever word vomit came to mind. *cough* That first one is exactly 300 words, haha - I had to shave just a bit of Miles' grumpy internal monologue. :P
Our chapter cap is 6 (I think, from what we worked out with the last prompt table), just to get a mix of pairings and genres and such. Which is not to say you can't keep writing (obviously), but 6 is the maximum spots the same fic can take up on the table. If that makes sense? (It's 30C here right now, I'm melllllting)
(Also, because when people click through the table, they're going to read all the chapters anyway.)
I'll update the table once a week, and hee, you'll be the first :D
Okay, sounds good! If I decide to write more than that, I'll be sure to split them into different fics - everything I'm working on right now is a kind of bromance bit but I could always dip into some Charm too for something different. ;)
Oh right - it's summertime there! I can't imagine that kind of heat for Christmas. Of course, I'm also complaining because it's somewhere around 25F here (what is that in Celsius? Like.... -4?) and let me tell you, that is flippin' cold for California.
I didn't know that before, so good that you mentioned it. I sort of had an idea to put all 25 in chapters of one fic, but maybe I'll take a different approach. (Anyway, the main thing is challenging myself, not being linked to. :D)
I'm not sure if I'll participate (even if trying to write under 300 words sounds challenging and interesting), I might not have time, with the Secret Santa stuff. And these are really the wrong prompts for me, since everything I know about Christmas comes from TV and movies. And right now, looking at the prompts, all I got is crack, so you're probably better off without me trying to write them, you know, for your sanity.
But good luck everyone (especially carlier36 , who got an early start- you go girl!) and happy holidays.
I don't think I have time to participate either. :( But 300 wds is really short for me, so we'll see. Pressies for Secret Santa come first. ;)
Yeah, if I finish my Secret Santa stuff with enough time and energy, THEN I'll think about the prompts, even though I haven't done so well last time around (I only wrote one that didn't even get linked to the table and Gizzi didn't even read it, even though it was all her fault for giving me the idea).
(I kinda want Ivy-confused-Christmas-crack now tho...)
LOL, I'm not sure you do, most of them seem to be weird fantasy!au's that don't make sense. And it would probably end up less "Confused-Christmas" and more "what is this Hallmark nonsense?" But with extra crack.

Indeed.
Word limits are a common foe for writers. But I think it makes everyone better in the end? Sometimes crazier. But better.

That's the table if you want it. (And if I've coded it right)

I'm posting my fills as individual chapters in an AO3 work - I'll just link to the chapters!
