500 Prompts (it's the meme of a lifetime)

[thisbluespirit]

So, since I seem to be really rubbish about writing memes lately (I only managed two of the one I did last time and one of those was late, which is just dismal, and I'm sorry about that; the prompts were great, I'm just being weird about writing lately) I thought it best to concentrate on my ongoing 500 Prompts, because the list just exists as a shiny thing and not a source of stress like unfilled meme prompts, but still allows me to right random things for people, which is a lot of the point of fandom, really.

ANYWAY, this way to the 500 Prompts Meme! Then browse the prompts and attach a ship (of any kind) or TWO or more characters* to an unclaimed prompt.

Any fandom I know is fair game (you can check my tags or my interests for starters), plus any isurrendered things. Crossover characters and pairings are also fine. If you come up with anything I don't know or can't do, I'll just say so. Leave one prompt or a bunch! It's all good.

I have plenty already, but if I'm not doing memes much, then I do want the newer people round to have a chance to leave prompts so I can write something for them too and as many fandoms as possible, including newer ones as well as the old. (People who have left some before are welcome to leave some more, too, though!)


I make no promises about when/if anything will be filled and whether it will be a drabble or ficlet or full-length fic, but equally nobody's obliged to read the result, especially if I take 3 years. I always enjoy looking at all the prompts, though, even when I fail at writing, so I am grateful. (Thank you. <3)

(I was going to say I said last year I was going to concentrate on these and then failed, BUT in fact I checked, and I wrote and posted 10 and have 2 more very short ones I need to type up, so actually, I can do it, even if I may need to have a very long lifespan if I want to do all of them at the rate I'm going. Plus, I think I have a new method of selecting them that might help, plus there's 100fandoms...)



* I have learned I find one character prompts harder and while I'm working on that with the ones I have, I would prefer most new ones to be for 2+ characters.

Oh, man, I still feel kind of bad because I put out a call for prompts for this, myself, ages and ages and ages ago, and got a lot of responses... And wrote a grand total of two stories for it, one of which was very short, and the other of which took me a couple of years to actually finish.

So take heart: you have done much, much better at it than me! :)

I have, I've written about 40 odd overall, I think, but it's just that at this rate I need to have a few regenerations up my sleeve to finish even the ones I've got.

... which isn't to say I don't want more. :-D

And, hey, 2 stories you wouldn't have written otherwise makes a meme worth doing! I'm just kind of dogged, which can be a good thing, and it can be a curse.

[astrogirl]

Doggedness does not seem like such a bad thing in this case. At least it means the world gets more of your writing. :)

Aww, thank you! In some cases, though, I don't know when to give up on a bad thing so, as I said, sometimes also a curse (like OUaT taught us), but yeah.
