No True Pair

[thisbluespirit]

corvidology very wisely suggested I take the plunge this time and sign up for no_true_pair, which was obviously right, because what it is, is basically the 15 Characters meme except you're expected to write at least some of the resulting prompts. I mean, clearly, I should have done this the second I saw it crop up at fandomcalendar, but, idk, it's been a weird year or so...

I signed up with this assorted list:

1. Clara Oswald
2. Copper (S&S)
3. Jenkins (The Librarians)
4. Alice Jones (OUaT)
5. Charley Pollard
6. Sixth Doctor
7. Annabelle Hurst (Dept S)
8. The Brigadier

I hadn't realised quite how many and how thorough the prompts would be, and I might next time sign up with two lists (a crossover one and an in-fandom one, because you can do that too, apparently), but still I do love the results and at least some of them will hopefully become actual ficlets! You're supposed to post them on the given day for that prompt (Sept 1-28 in this case), but there's also no pressure and no penalties if you fall out of a round.

If any of you would like to sign up, probably best not to click on the cut until you've drawn up your list! (I have swapped the numbers for the characters, but it'll still give you an idea of the questions (and the matching if you're paying attention).

Anyway, I think it might also appeal to some of you as well, and that would be even more fun. <3 (I made a crossover list, but most people were single-fandom, so that's just me being me.)


September One - Clara finds Annabelle's lost [item] and...
September Two - Alice & Six with the title "Ready to Go"
September Three - Annabelle hits it off with someone at a costume party/ball; wait it's the Brigadier?
September Four - Copper & Jenkins - head in the clouds
September Five - Alice & Charley - in the woods
September Six - Clara & Jenkins - hot
September Seven - Jenkins has no idea what they look like to Alice
September Eight - Copper & the Brigadier - play a board game
September Nine - Clara writes a letter to Copper
September Ten - Jenkins & the Brigadier titled "Magic Touch"
September Eleven - Copper & Annabelle - under a full moon
September Twelve - Six & the Brigadier - "wait, did you just make up this holiday?"
September Thirteen - both Copper & Alice reach for the last [item]
September Fourteen - Jenkins & Charley - lessons
September Fifteen - Alice & the Brigadier - "That's gotta hurt."
September Sixteen - while waiting, Clara strikes up a conversation with Six
September Seventeen - Copper & Six - a truly impressive misunderstanding!
September Eighteen - Charley & Annabelle - "Better luck next time."
September Nineteen - Clara & the Brigadier - water
September Twenty - Charley helps Six do the dishes [or whatever cleanup]
September Twenty-one - Six & Annabelle - "You only live once!"
September Twenty-two - Copper & Charley - the heart of the matter
September Twenty-three - Clara & Alice with the title "Roll With The Changes"
September Twenty-four - Jenkins & Six meet up for brunch
September Twenty-five - Clara needs a little extra [choice], can Charley help?
September Twenty-six - Jenkins & Annabelle - purple
September Twenty-seven - Alice & Annabelle "There's a silver lining to this."
September Twenty-eight - Charley & the Brigadier - another year has passed.

But yay. Look. *dances* XD (My choices were very self-indulgent, which might limit the appeal to people who aren't me, but sometimes you gotta be. *nods*)


ETA: Oh. Also hello, sorry for vanishing again. I feel at this point "it was summer, i was very ill" doesn't even need saying. ♥

Yes, I think you would have known maybe three of them, and those ones probably didn't even get the most interesting prompts. If that makes you feel any better. :)

Why is this kind of thing always so much more likely to kick my brain into gear than sensible things??

Oh, that is always the way of things, though. Fic-writing brains are not remotely sensible organs. :)

No, but never mind - next round? XD

[astrogirl]

Maybe next round! Now that I actually know it exists. Although who knows what characters I'll be looking to write about then. :)

Yes, although, honestly, what, you can't write a ficlet (featuring characters i don't know) now and then post it in amnesty? ;-p

Although who knows what characters I'll be looking to write about then. :)

We could even meet in a fandom again! IT COULD HAPPEN. XD
