Prompt list for the thirty-fourth Older Not Dead Promptathon

Nov 01, 2018 11:05

Thank you for the submitted prompts for our thirty-fourth promptathon. Sadly, yet again we had very few indeed. I have added a handful of fandom/pairing free prompts, but the list of prompts is very short ( Read more... )

I didn't contribute any prompts this time because I am still involved with writing the fic inspired by the summer O_N_D promptathon and intended for the upcoming Fraser/RayK anthology zine Body Heat ...and I was trying to stay away from the temptation of yet more O_N_D...and now there's a Fraser/RayK prompt here beckoning me.

This comm is one of the two most inspiring writing-challenge comms -- and THE most inspiring multifandom writing-challenge comm -- of all such comms in which I have participated. Both this one and the other one (a due South snippets comm) have been attracting less and less participation in recent years. I wonder if the era of challenge-style writing is passing away in the face of fandom's fracturing into so many different social media platforms.

Apologies for the late reply, as I said I didn't get a notification there was a comment.

I can understand your logic, I really can. And as I said elsewhere when you mentioned the zine, I'm really delighted you are going to be published in in. I've worked with Bast many times in quite a lot of zines.

I know you have always been a great supporter of this comm with providing prompts and writing stories and I always appreciate it.

I fear you may be correct when you say the era of challenge-style writing is passing away :-( It's a real shame. Anyway, I still haven't made a final decision. But even if I do decide not to go with any new challenges, I won't be deleting the comm, so past prompts will always be available.

Thanks for your support.

Hmmm...I.posted a comment a while ago here under the 34th Promptathon and the comment didn’t show up. Were you screening?

Anyways, I am writing a fic for this November Promptathon. *glances at calendar and at nearness of month-end*

ETA: Oops. I meant "were you UNscreening" (or continuing to leave comments screened).

I didn't get the comment :-( Clearly LJ decided not to send it to me *rolls eyes*

I shall go and have a look.

Good luck with the story.

Finished the fic and posted it to AO3 during my dinner-break at work. Will come back here to post the details and the AO3 link when I get home from work (near midnight or slightly after, Chicago time). I just want to be sure you'll be counting it as a November promptathon fic because that's how I've already described it on AO3.

I think LJ must know I'm considering quitting doing regular promptathons as it again didn't send me a message. Nor did it send me your PM which I've just seen.

I, like others, keep going through phases where LJ insists on me revalidating my email address and I guess during one of those phases when it didn't send emails yours fell through the crack so to speak.

So belatedly of course it will count for November.

Apologies for the delay.

*Pokes LJ hard*
