Perfect Duet's paid account and the Oakum Meme (II)

[esteven]

Some lovely person was so kind to gift perfect_duet with two months of paid time. Whoever it was, please pm me, so I can thank you properly. :D The gift makes the Oakum Meme so much easier because it brought the subject headers back.

So, once more onto the breach:

Here at this post you will find all prompts/requests we have so far received on LJ and on DW

Of All the Islands in All the World (part 3)

[anonymous]

He became aware that Stephen had been talking for some time, cataloguing aloud the morning’s discoveries and dwelling at length on a possible new varietas of some xerophytic plant or other that would likely stun his botanical colleagues

Hmm, that might be a problem. Although it needn't stop people requesting or writing movie-oakum, or pieces that are between books or just not described at all (like the weddings).

Ah, but it might need research at some stage?

Depends of the type of fic, I guess. You could go for something packed with historical/canonical detail, or you could just go for two people and a bed.

Two people in bed may not work for the Diana and the Khat prompt?

Re: Of All the Islands in All the World (part 4 of 4)

[anonymous]

Okay: two people, one bed, and some khat. How complicated could that be?? :-D

Re: Of All the Islands in All the World (part 4 of 4)

Sounds like you have written it already. Why don't you fill the prompt then?

Re: Of All the Islands in All the World (part 4 of 4)

[anonymous]

Because I want someone to write it for me! That's the whole point of the prompt! :-)

Re: Of All the Islands in All the World (part 4 of 4)

[anonymous]

Filling the request is anonymous, so who is to know you filled your prompt yourself?

Re: Of All the Islands in All the World (part 4 of 4)

[anonymous]

...I would!

Also, I'm pretty sure you could all guess. It would have a lot of dialogue, not much action/description, lots of Jack-watching-Stephen, probably some sort of angst about gender-roles/sexuality/etc on Jack's part, probably an assumption that Stephen was bi - oh, and it would cut off just as it got to the sex :-D

...I would!
Ah, but what about the needs of the many outweighing the needs of one?
*sniggers*

I'm afraid I am busy with another prompt.

Re: Of All the Islands in All the World (part 4 of 4)

[anonymous]

The many can sod off! I've already written three stories (even if only one actually fitted into the meme) *sulks*

Re: Of All the Islands in All the World (part 4 of 4)

[anonymous]

*hugs and snugs*
I've provided the link for one, done two, am likely to do a fourth. ;D

Re: Of All the Islands in All the World (part 4 of 4)

[anonymous]

You are highly productive *hugs back* and I can't wait for the fourth \o/
It would be good to have a few fills from people other than you and me, though!

Re: Of All the Islands in All the World (part 4 of 4)

[anonymous]

*nods*
Are not three others at least around too? It would be nice :D

Re: Of All the Islands in All the World (part 4 of 4)

[anonymous]

I will fill one of the other prompts, I have said I would - but I've been a bit busy with work lately and can't really get down to writing it until Tuesday at the earliest. So probably not posting until Thursday or Friday.

You are not alone!
