The Lusty Month of May (prompts post)

[vjs2259]

I am still of two (or three) minds about how to do this, but here goes. songhay  had a lovely suggestion about a fic duel over set quotes (see comments to last post), but I feel I am not up to it for this first outing. However, I think it will be our next go; sometime this summer. (And songhay , I'd appreciate your help setting it up when the time comes!)

And to get us started...

The story I've started is for the prompt 'cherry blossoms.' So that's one.

How about--

John explains the Easter bunny and chocolate eggs to Delenn
April showers, or alternately, sprinkler system
spring planting ceremony/ritual

any lyric from It Might as Well be Spring: sample

'I'm starry-eyed and discontented, like a nightingale without a song to sing. Oh why should I have spring fever, when it isn't even spring?
I keep wishing I were somewhere else, walking down a strange new street, hearing words that I have never heard from someone I've yet to meet.
I feel so gay in a melancholy way, it might as well be spring.'

YAY for spring and YAY for prompts!

As I fully intend to write on at least one prompt once we see what comes out, here are a few I'll offer in return:

Spring Cleaning
Something about Daylight Savings Time - Do the Minbari have it, do they have something similar, do they mark it with a ritual, etc.
John reflecting on his favorite part of Minbari spring - preferably set at least 5 years after moving there.

What a woman have to do with the flower a man give to her. Delenn try to understand why human male give plants as a gift. :P

I think this will be worked into the one for songhay's erotic poem :)

[jedi_penguin]

I think I'd like to try my hand at this one, please. It's a bit unclear to me if it was actually claimed, or whether the poem fit this prompt in addition to another. If it's gone, that's okay too.

[vjs2259]

Oh please do take it, that'd be great! It was an add-on to my story for songhay's poem prompt and can be left off. The prompts are not exclusive btw, the more the merrier. I was just trying to get something for each prompter.

Spring Equinox Prompt

[songhay]

Valen said "The Spring Equinox Festival provides a way to connect with Minbar through food, creative activities, workshops, music, ceremonies and folklore.

Spring celebrates the awakening of nature after winter, a time of new growth and potential, a time for all that is new and possible, a time to let go of whatever may be hindering our own growth!

It is a time for meditation to bring us out of our winter period of reflection, and make a symbolic planting of seeds representing our intentions, wishes and goals that we will nurture and grow over the coming months - a true celebration of rebirthing your life and nature itself!"

What form would such a festival take? How will Delenn and John spend their first Spring Equinox (feel free to create a Minbari sounding name)on Minbar?

Erotic Spring Poetry about Roses in Bloom Prompt

[songhay]

S.A. Sheets wrote a poem entitled "I Love to Lick Your Rose."

Write an erotic poem from John's POV or a short fic in which John adds a naughty love note to Delenn's Easter basket explaining how he loves to lick her rose. (LOL)

I like this poem v. much. I have something in mind that will bear on the subject :)

I'm no prude, but damn, that poem gave me quite a blush (LOL).

Likewise with the blushes! The story won't be as...interesting and a little off topic but that's how these things go.
