I am bored and sick (cold) and stuck at home. Share with meeeeeeee!

1. Tell me about a springkink prompt that you claimed thinking that you had a grasp on it, a vision so to speak. You knew exactly where you wanted to go, only to be derailed by the characters, the plot, your muse, your cat ... You name it! Tell me what happened. Where you able to muddle

1. I was so excited to claim "Bleach- Shunsui/Nanao- bondage/opulent settings-velvet couch, satin pillows, silk scarves, and leather gloves- 'Nothing less should touch your skin." Romantic BDSM for one of my favorite pairings! I learned far too late that I cannot write BDSM. At all. I freeze up, terrified of getting it wrong. Not claiming a BDSM prompt again.

2. "Orgasm: The Fifth Noble Truth" was the easiest fic for me to write. I checked out so many books on Buddhism from the library and barely ended up using them at all. I still like how that fic turned out.

[animadri]

1. Yeah, I can see how that could happen.

2. Oh yes. You did a wonderful job with that. Nice to know that you were so relaxed and comfortable writing it.

Want to hear about the Muraki/Hisoka WW2 prompt I didn't claim, because I knew there was no conceivable way I could do it that month?

[veleda_k]

I know I do!

[p_zeitgeist]

You guys are all too indulgent, allowing me to rattle on about this one without having to actually, you know, try to write it!

The prompt was WW2, games, high society, blackout. This is the recipe for an epic; in my brain it went instantly to the bizarre comedy/crossover place. (So I may be about to disappoint you horribly, I'm warning you right now.)

This one features the version of the guys where Hisoka and Muraki have resolved the worst of their differences, and where Muraki's been killed and recruited for the Summons Bureau -- in other words, the version growing out of the last thing I did for stagesoflove. Muraki's still Muraki, see: he's still doing research and meddling with things he ought not meddle with, and he's figured out how to do a certain amount of time travelling. For technical reasons, he's really the only one who can do said travelling, although he can take people with him when he does it

Oh, don't worry. The peer pressure comes later.

There was this Hakkai/Gojyo prompt I claimed for the summer round (which I think someone else wrote last round) which was the futuristic AU one... and I was really sure I knew what I was doing with it. I've actually written loads of it. It's still sitting on my computer. The problem was, I couldn't make it finish. It just... kept on going. On, and on, and on.

(I just finished writing for a tenipuri holiday exchange, heh. I couldn't get my ideas together, started writing in the last week, and ended up sitting there and just writing and writing until I had nine thousand words and the most plot I've produced in a year. For a smutfic exchange. I obviously have some kind of curse going on -- the more smut the exchange/challenge calls for, the less I seem able to write it. And when I wrote for a genfic exchange I had to produce an alt version of the story because two characters really, really wanted to have sex. I give up! XD; )

[animadri]

That seems to happen often when Hakkai and Gojyo are involved. *G*

Your muse just likes to be contrary. One day you'll both be on the same page. Not that we're complaining or anything. We love it all!

I've come down with a horrible head cold, and misery loves company, so...

1. I thought I had this brilliant idea for the October 31, FF7 pre-game, Vincent, "polluted aristocracy" prompt. I started it on at least four separate occasions, and each time it was this drippy, broody, roiling Harliquinesque horror that is never going to see the light of day. Ever. I just posted to the discard thread about it a few minutes ago.

2. The one that clicked. Oddly for me, not a FF7 one, though they all flowed fairly easy, especially the Zack/Cloud reverse striptease fic, "Put It On." The Cloud/Reno phone!sex one, "Intercourse," was fun as well.

But, the one that popped into my head fully written, and all I had to do was hurry up and type it was the Sam/Dean Supernatural fic, "No Accounting For Taste". 1,111 words, I wrote it in less than 45 minutes. When I went back to edit it a few hours later, I couldn't find any mistakes: not a typo, not a misspelled word, misplaced comma, same words too close together, nothing. The way it appears in the

roiling Harliquinesque horror

Is intrigued!

When I went back to edit it a few hours later, I couldn't find any mistakes: not a typo, not a misspelled word, misplaced comma, same words too close together, nothing. The way it appears in the posting is the exact way it came off my fingers without a single, solitary change.

Wow! Sounds like you were in the zone (as some call it).

The best part about being more of an artist than a writer is that I don't have to worry too much about a prompt being claimed before I get a chance to do it. So I made a big list of all the prompts that looked inspiring, but didn't make the claim for a particular prompt until I'd gotten the piece done. :) You could probably look through the comments on the claim posts and figure out exactly what day and time I got each of them done. XD

I'm not entirely sure what I'd have done if something did manage to get two claims before I finished it - probably email it to the person whose prompt it was after the reveal, and then wait a few weeks before posting it to my LJ and DeviantArt space, so as not to step on the toes of the people who claimed it.

ETA: Got my Yuletide fic done and uploaded! *gloats obnoxiously* Haven't started on my yuletart and renji_rukia exchange pieces yet, though. I really ought to do that.

[animadri]

Whoa! You're doing yuletide and yuleart? *bows down*

[telophase]

Even better, doing yuletide having never written fanfic except for an anonymous entry to one of the many anon kinkmemes out there XD before. I decided to do that because two of the fandoms nominated were the self-published comics that rachelmanija wrote and I drew, so I figured it would be sort of funny-yet-nifty for someone to receive "fanfic" by the artist. Plus, I had an entire plot outline in my head for a story set in the one I offered.

Naturally, that was not what I matched on. But for reasons I can't go into now without potentially revealing info about the fandom and recipient I ended up with, All was Well and I was able to write something that I think will be acceptable. :D

I went for yuletart and the Ren/Ruki exchanges because I had so much fun with springkink. :D
