The Good Fic TGW Comment Fic Meme
Welcome to The Good Fic TGW Comment Meme! Here, you can prompt, read, and write any pairing, genre, or rating of fic for the CBS drama The Good Wife.
Rules and format adapted from the lovely folks at bitesize_bones .
First, some basic info for you:
Sorry, what?
In case you're not familiar with comment fic memes, here's how they work:
- someone leaves a prompt in the format shown below
- someone else fills the prompt with a short, comment-sized ficlet
- everyone reads, enjoys, and leaves feedback for the kind writer before beginning the cycle again. Yay!
What do I do?
1) Prompt! Prompts can be anything from a specific scenario, to one random word, to new and exciting pairings, to song lyrics, to quotes, to anything else you can think of. Be as general or as detailed as you like!
AUs and crossovers are also welcome.
Examples:
Alicia/Peter: Atonement
Diane, Will: They argue over who gets Alicia in the firm’s “divorce.” Winner optional.
Kalinda/Cary: Strange bedfellows
2) Write! If you see a prompt that appeals to you, write it! It doesn't matter if you've not written fic before or are nervous or anything else - this is just about having fun, getting some writing done, and sharing the love. :D This fandom needs more fic!
Prompts/fics do not need to be anonymous but anon commenting is turned on for anyone who's feeling especially shy.
More than one person can answer any prompt. However, if you are not the first writer to comment on a prompt, it is HIGHLY suggested that you TITLE YOUR FIC or give some indication in the SUBJECT LINE that you are posting. Else, it's a shame, but those fics collapsed down in the comments tend to go overlooked. :(
Feel free to repost any fics you write in your own journal/ff.net/wherever else you like and to post a link in a comment here to a longer fic in your LJ if it won't fit in a comment - just as long as you wrote it for this meme!
3) Leave feedback! If you just read a really funny/hot/well-written/shiny fic, feel free to leave a comment telling the author this. Who knows, it might encourage them to write more of the same!
4) Rinse and repeat.
What do I not do?
1) Be an asshat. Not all prompts will be to everyone's taste so please just scroll on by instead of being nasty or troll-tastic. Thanks!
2) SPOIL PEOPLE. Anything that's aired in the US is fair game, but any prompts, fics or comments with future spoilers should contain a clearly marked warning.
Where is the obligatory disclaimer?
By participating in this meme, you are saying that it is legal for you to do so wherever you live. No-one but yourself is responsible for any smut you encounter here.
What is this shiny banner?
This can (and should) be used for pimping purposes. (Because more people = more fun times.)
Just copy and paste text in this box into the HTML tab of your journal and voila! Easy-peasy!
