Writing calisthenics - prompt me please!
Hello friends! Due to a conglomeration of life circumstances (mostly good, actually! Things are better than they have been in quite a long time! However:) I have been consumed by non-writing activities and have completely lost all momentum on any and all writing projects. *Sad trombone*
But! All is not lost. My workplace is shutting down for a week-long summer break, and I hope to use the time to stretch my atrophying writing muscles and get back in the game. My plan is to do a version of @greywash's old Spring Break Creative Calisthenics exercise: solicit prompts from y'all lovely people, on which I will attempt to write a ficlet a day and whip myself back into shape. Rules include: pre-planning is allowed, but no extending the composition window beyond a day.
This is where you come in: please help me in this endeavor by submitting prompts to my askbox! I will generally do better with prompts that are not super-specific: stick to a character or pairing—details on welcomed fandoms & characters below—and a broad scenario, kink, or just a word/concept. Examples: "Judith/Camilla/Coronabeth, trauma bonding, truth or dare," "Jaheira/Nine-Fingers, Plant Growth, erotic asphyxiation."
Active fandoms & the characters I feel capable of tackling in them (I want to steer clear of For All Mankind since the story I'm trying to return to is in that fandom & I'd like a palate cleanser):
The Locked Tomb books: any female characters, plus Palamedes. Particular soft spots for the Tridentarii twins, Camilla, Aiglamene, Gideon and Harrowhark. I am not as solid on the first-gen Lyctors or Edenites, but would be up for giving them a shot.
Star City: I am not caught up, LOL, but trying to get there by Monday! Soft spots for Irina, Tanya, & Roskova, and any sexual combination thereof, especially incorporating surveillance.
Baldur's Gate 3: Any of the female characters, with particular interest in Jaheira(/Nine-Fingers), Shadowheart/Lae'zel, and Minthara. Also love Karlach, although I have written quite a bit about her so might like to branch out.
Dragon Age 2: My DA OTP is Isabela/Aveline, and the character of my heart is Merrill. Would also be excited to spend some time with Cassandra and/or Varric. Doesn't 100% have to be in the timeframe of DA2, but my interest wanes the closer we get to Veilguard.
Georgette Heyer's Cotillion: Feel like I could pretty easily hop into a piece about the continued adventures of Freddy & Kitty, especially as they may involve Kitty falling enthusiastically in love with every beautiful girl who crosses her path, and sharing this information with Freddy.
Jeeves & Wooster: Big fan of buddies/frenemies Bertie & Honoria, and also of femslashing Honoria with any of the women who appear in this canon. (And I do mean "any." The weirder the better.)
Passchendaele universe: A long shot, but anyone who has read my original Passchendaele ficlets series and wants to prompt me on any of the pairings or characters therein, you would totally make my day!
Thank you, friends! Here's hoping I can jumpstart my writing brain over my week off. <3
