Genprompt Bingo Card - Round 18

[thisbluespirit]

I signed up for genprompt_bingo again! (You're shocked, I'm sure). And now I have this lovely card to play with:

Imprisonment	Winners and Losers	Fix-its	May Morning	Yes, but is it Art?
Worst case scenario	Virtue and Vice	Mirror, mirror: Doppelgangers, clones and evil doubles	A Battle / Fight / Confrontation	Superpowers
Factories and other Industrial Spaces	Angst	Wild Card	The Nature of the Soul / Consciousness	Touch
Surreality	Early Morning	Someone calls in a Favour	Trust	College / University / Education
The North Wind doth Blow	Steel	It was a Dark and Stormy Night	Historical AU	Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics

I also got my intoabar assignment this morning, which is: Silver walks into a bar and meets... Regina Mills! And, lol, I could have come up with that crossover myself, intoabar! It'll be fun anyway.

Nice

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks!

[liadt]

Have fun bingoing and baring:D

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! And I will try not to get confused and go birring and bangoing instead.

[liadt]

Lol, sounds like a new internet dance craze:D

[astrogirl]

That is a great bingo card!

And, ha!, yes, I was scrolling through the intoabar assignments to see what everyone had gotten, and I literally laughed out loud when I saw yours. It really is just so very you as to be almost boring as a challenge assignement! But I'm sure you'll do something fun and interesting with it, and I look forward to reading it. And, selfishly, I am very glad you're writing two fandoms I actually know.

Especially as, I swear, every time this challenge happens, there are fewer and fewer matchups where I know both, or even just one of the characters. It makes me feel downright out of touch, I tell ya! Although every time, there are also always a few combinations that I find utterly delightful. This time... Man, I think I would pay actual money to see Discworld's Death meeting Jason Mendoza. :)

For my own part, I'm amused because I was sitting around yesterday wondering if being brave and insane enough to sign up for Doctor Who as a whole was going to bite me in the ass, and thinking of a few possible characters that would probably be in the "doable, but not necessarily easy or exciting" category for me, and, wouldn't you know it, I ended up getting one of the first ones I thought of! Only now that I have the assignment actually in front of me, I may be seeing some potentially fun things to do with it, so no doubt all will be well.

I know! I would have done that myself at some point eventually, I'm sure! :lol: Where's my combination I would never have otherwise thought of? But i'm sure it will be fun and I think I know how to do it, so that's good.

Jason would never ever get that it wasn't a cool costume. XD

Ha, what are the odds? (Always good, it seems.) Well, selfishly, I am looking forward to seeing what you do with it, because that's a combination that's got such good potential lurking in there - I mean, they both know a thing or two about memory wipes from opposite ends and being dictated to by computer programming and they've both existed in some weird realities. And those are things I think you're probably exactly the person to play with.

Yay! Obvious for you or not, it does seem like a potentially cool combination of characters and canons to play with.

LOL! Yeah, he totally wouldn't.

Ha, what are the odds? (Always good, it seems.)

I know! Last time, out of four canons with big ensemble casts, I somehow managed to get the one character I was hoping not to have to write! Although that one turned out fine, so, hey.

Heh, I hadn't even thought about anything that complicated yet. Maybe I'll manage something that profound, or maybe they'll just get tipsy and talk about their exciting adventures and whether or not Michael's existence makes any scientific sense. I dunno. :)

[thisbluespirit]

Well, Zoe is a short, stubborn human who went on a very strange journey one time in order to learn how to be better a person and then had the memory forcibly wiped from her, so I think Michael'd be able to relate to her at least. But getting drunk and debating science and logic is also a very good option! Zoe wouldn't buy the whole Good Place set up, it's true. She could probably be quite infuriating about it!! XD

Last time, out of four canons with big ensemble casts, I somehow managed to get the one character I was hoping not to have to write!

Ha, that's fatal! I almost signed up with Ripper Street, because I thought that could be particularly interesting with Silver and then wondered about what would happen if they counted the not-a-werewolf from S5, or I got that one character who's the only one anyone in Yuletide cares about and I therefore no longer want to write? And changed it to Department S just in case. I suspect it was wise, but RS would have been cool.

[astrogirl]

Whatever I end up writing for them, I think I'm gonna have to do a bit of canon review first. It's been ages and ages since I watched much in the way of Troughton episodes -- which, now that I think about it, seems like a shame that ought to be rectified for its own sake. I'm not 100% sure what I even have available, though. I might just end up witching "The Mind Robber" for the fifth or sixth time, and while that's always a good way to spend an afternoon, I'm not entirely sure how useful it is in getting Zoe's character down enough to feel better about writing her. Well, we will see!

The odds of something like that are low enough that it kind of seems like it should be okay to risk it, except that past experience really does demonstrate that random chance is not really our friend. :)

The war Games! It's only ten episodes long, you can fit that in no problem. ;-p Although it is a very good one if you do have the time. As are a lot of them. And then there's that ep in The Krotons - is it 2 or 3? - that is basically just the Doctor and Zoe being smug geniuses at each other for ten minutes in the middle. You should definitely watch that one. Whichever one it is. But The Mind Robber is always good, it's true.

In the meantime, I shall have to rewatch the first ep of OUaT S7. Such hardships we've set upon ourselves!

[astrogirl]

The thought of re-watching "The War Games" is surprisingly tempting, although, yeah, that is quite the investment of time. And "The Krotons..." You know, I don't think I've seen "The Krotons" since some time in the 1980s. I don't remember loving it, which is probably why I haven't watched it since then, but the thought of "the Doctor and Zoe being smug geniuses at each other for ten minutes" does have its appeal.

[thisbluespirit]

The Krotons is mostly just okay with some bright spots, but if you can identify whether it is ep 2 or 3 where Zoe and the Doctor take the Kroton's tests & find the episode, it isn't a big time-investment and it is indeed a complete joy while it lasts.

The War Games is always a worthwhile investment, even if heartbreaking. ♥

OH MY GOD.

[astrogirl]

I know, right?!

[theseatheseatheopensea]

Oh, very nice! Yay for prompts!

[thisbluespirit]

You wait for ages and then 26 come at once! XD

[theseatheseatheopensea]

Haha, it's a good metaphor for the whole writing process. No inspiration for months... and then 10 WIPs at once!

Good luck! *throws inspiration glitter*

[dimity_blue]

That looks fun!

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! I think so. XD

[paynesgrey]

Ooh, nice prompts. Which one do you think you'll do first?

[thisbluespirit]

Good question! I actually have something in progress that will fit the factories square and my intoabar fic might work for Imprisonment or Surreality, so I think I know which line I'm going for at least.
