anyone want to give me a writing prompt?

[dbskyler]

fic_rush is this weekend (still an awesome event if anyone wants to join in, by the way) and I have decided to go into it with my very own set of 10 writing prompts, with the idea that I will spend the time writing to as many of those prompts as possible. I might do a bunch of drabbles or ficlets, or snatches of conversations, or a prompt might catch fire and turn into a full-fledged fic . . . but no matter what, the idea will be to keep writing, and to write as much as possible, and to keep myself going by having different prompts and ideas to turn to in the hope that this will lure my muses back from the vacation they seem to have gone on.

Clicking away on the DW random pairings generator has given me 7 prompts, so I am looking for 3 more. So, if there's anything you've always wished I would write, now's your chance! Suggest as many prompts as you like, and I will take the 3 that inspire me the most into fic_rush this weekend, and hopefully produce something on them. In fact I might take more than 3, because possibly something you guys come up with will inspire me more than the ones from the random pairings generator.

The prompts can take whatever form you like, but I'd suggest at a minimum giving me a character or a set of characters, plus a phrase or a setting or a circumstance to get me going. You can also do "what if" scenarios, or "tell me about the time" scenarios, or anything you can think of, really. You can use any fandom / characters I know (feel free to ask if you're not sure), and you can suggest crossovers. If I choose your prompt, I will try to write on it this weekend; if I don't get to it, or don't finish it, then I will take it up again in the not-so-distant future.

Ooh, I'm kind of excited to see what you guys come up with now . . . well, assuming anyone wants to see me try to write to their prompt, that is. ; )

Wait, you want me to try to figure out which Doctors sing tenor, and which sing baritone? :D

(Okay, Ten is obviously made for patter songs . . . and OMG, Six as Pooh-Bah! Yes, some interesting possibilities here, thank you!)

Have you heard Doctor Who and the Pirates? Six and Evelyn do G&S - TO DIE FOR and totally recommended.

After my one completely unsuccessful attempt at buying a Big Finish audio, I have yet to try again, so no, I haven't heard it yet. It's definitely on the list, though! You're far from the first person to recommend it to me.

In what way was it unsuccessful??

I detailed the entire saga here.

Ouchies!!

I agree with you, though - the site is NOT well laid out for finding things. And I've had my own hassles when trying to purchase online - in the end, I rang and placed the particular order over the phone (which I agree isn't really an option when you're on another continent!)

A big problem was that I thought I'd be able to just click a link, enter a credit card, and download -- in and out, 5 minutes tops. The site is not made for that, and as you say, it's difficult to navigate, especially for brand-new users.

I predict that I'll try again some day, but so far I haven't been sufficiently motivated to do it. I'm sure that when I finally do I'll have a much easier time, though, if for no other reason than I'll know what to expect!

*nods* Yes - forewarned is forearmed...
