Random Fic Stuff

[omorka]

. . . That I'm posting in the open instead of under the ficcers-lock just for giggles.

story_lottery 2/7
01.	#01 - a shooting star	02.	#06 - traffic lights	03.	#07 - laughter
04.	#17 - a mayfly	05.	#23 - a chrysalis	06.	#29 - a camera flash
07. BONUS PROMPT! #12 - a sunset

It's going to be really hard not to write these all as Eureka fics. "Ephemera" as a theme is already pretty Eureka-esque. (That, and I can write non-novelette-or-longer fics in Eureka. GB/RGB, not so much, unless they're really silly bits of fluff.) Then again, "ephemera" also works pretty well for the Whoniverse. It would be amusing to try to broaden my horizons and do each of the seven in a different fandom, but I don't know if I could come up with worthwhile ideas in seven different fandoms. (Hmm. GB/RGB, Eureka, Whoniverse, Firefly/Serenity, Max Headroom, CardCaptor Sakura, The Incredibles? Not in that order, of course.)

In other news, rounds_of_kink has opened prompts for Round 13. Someone throw some prompts at it in fandoms I can write, please?

IJ porn battle just began taking prompts again, too.

And I'll think about prompting for both.

So soon? Thanks for reminding me; I haven't checked them in a while.

It was really a coincidence I noticed; I just thought, "Huh, I should check on that - oh."

Also, I thought about prompting for rounds_of_kink... and then I read their FAQ. "The main fandoms"? I repeat, the main fandoms! WTF? So offended. I do have some TV fandoms, but I'm definitely not going to submit prompts somewhere with that attitude. It's like posting a giant "stay out" sign, seriously. Argh.

*scratches head* But those are the comm's main fandoms. I mean, they say specifically that they're open to any fandom, not just the majority ones in that community. Why is naming the ones that they have a lot of a sign of an attitude? I'll admit, I'm not in any of those except for Firefly, and I didn't see it as unwelcoming at all; they've been really friendly to me.

Edit: But I did remember to drop a bunch of prompts off at the Porn Battle. :-)

But they didn't say "the comm's main fandoms." They said:

"Of course, we have the main fandoms - SPN, SGA, SG-1, Buffy, Firefly, etc." That doesn't sound to me like they mean these are the main ones for the comm at all; rather, it seems pretty clear that they are stating these are "the main fandoms" period. Like, "of course we have these fandoms, because they're the main ones and every exchange would have them." And yes, I find that unwelcoming. Maybe it's just poor wording, but in that case, it's very poor wording. (Nor would it surprise me at all if that's exactly what they thought; that attitude seems far more common that I would have expected.)

*shrug* I didn't take it as indicative of anything other than their own community, but I suppose it's ambiguous. You might, if you really feel that strongly about it, drop a note to one of the mods and let them know how off-putting you found their wording, because I'm 100% sure they don't want to be exclusive in that way.

I'll think about it, though I admit my first instinct is not to, as it could easily lead to Arguing On the Internet, which is always something to be avoided.

I think you know about my RGB history. Red and I often speculated that Janine and Egon had a daughter, Jenny, who much to Dad's displeasure went into the family business. We figured that at some point GD hired her as a consultant to see if there were any possible military applications to paranormal energy. :)

And this had to do with hard-core LJ Kink how, dear? you're being a bit non-sequiterish. (Is that a word?)

I'm dreaming of Eureka kinkiness. And maybe some 'Being Human' too. Heck, kinky fanfic for everyone!

I wonder if Rounds of Kink takes prompt submissions from non-writers?

[jeff-morris.livejournal.com]

She said RGB. I'm operating on low sleep. Bite me.

On second thought, you've been watching "Being Human". Skip that.

Eh, some of the story_lottery fics will probably be genfic. Not all of it, certainly. But some.

RoK doesn't require a commitment to write in order to prompt - in fact, I think of the six fic I wrote for the last round, only two were from someone who also wrote something for that round. One of the more prolific prompters is actually a slash community, which by definition doesn't write at all, although presumably its members do.
