The Good Wife Summer Comment Fixathon
The ficathon is now closed! Thanks and slow claps to everyone who played, it's been awesome!
Welcome to The Good Wife Summer Hiatus Comment Fixathon!
The show’s too good to need much fixing, but the scenes we prompt and create here would make it PERFECT! Please to 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.
Filled prompts are handily compiled HERE.
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, one per comment, 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, crossovers, and RPF are also welcome.
Examples:
Alicia/Will: An hour’s not enough
Jackie, Owen: Fighting for babysitting duty rights.
Kalinda/Blake: Unfinished business
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
Prompts/fics do not need to be anonymous but anon commenting is enabled 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 disrespectful about anyone’s fic or choice of prompts.
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.
What are these shiny banners?
