#more cake

Preamble, because you don't know me.

Yeah. So. 20 years ago I got a degree in creative writing and basically did nothing with it. Fun fact - the guy who wrote John Winchester's journal was my capstone advisor. Which is... so wild considering I had zero interest in Supernatural until late 2025. Man, if only I'd known then what I know now. Actually, it's probably for the best.

It's been a long time since I've done any creative-fiction writing - just years and years of academic research. Not that academia isn't both a hoot AND a holler, but creative writing is a muscle...

I also can't stop thinking about destiel - so, here's a messy little experiment.

I have several more in drafts - but I figured I'd ease into it because it's Pride and I wanted The Boys To Kiss.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: ER (TV 1994) Rating: Not Rated Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Peter Benton & John Carter, John Carter & Lucy Knight, Peter Benton & Lucy Knight Characters: John Carter (ER TV 1994), Lucy Knight, Peter Benton Additional Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Hurt John Carter (ER TV 1994), Gunshot Wounds, Hostage Situations, more cake!, Gun Violence Series: Part 17 of Bad Things Happen Bingo Summary:

On the hottest day of the year, a hostage situation breaks out in the ER trauma rooms. John Carter, Peter Benton, and Lucy Knight are at the center of it.

John is hurt, badly. Peter's former student. Lucy's teacher. The two of them must work together, under the worst circumstances imaginable, to save his life.

“Please let me help him,” Peter manages to get out, although it’s almost impossible to hear his own words over the pounding of his heart. His voice cracks. “Please. Please. He’s hurt. He’s my friend. He’s… he’s a good person. His name is John. John Carter. Please, man. I helped your friend. Please let me help mine.”

This poll was pretty clear! The majority of invested participants wanted to have the option to use a favorite past prompt as one of their fills! As such, you will find the prompt 'Any Past Prompt of Your Choice' in Slot #30 in the official Sicktember 2024 prompt list.

We know the question has arisen, 'But mods! What if I've already written all the past prompts!' and 'But I already wrote my most favorite prompt during the 20XX event!' And our suggestions are as follows:

Find your favorite past sicktember prompt and look for a new way to interpret it, twist it, or turn it.

Write your favorite past sicktember prompt fic using different characters or in a different setting. Or a whole new fandom!

Rewrite your favorite past sicktember prompt fic from another POV (a different character or an outsider)

Write a sequel to your favorite past sicktember prompt fic!

Work with a friend to 'remix' one of their past sicktember prompt fics. (A remix is a fanwork that is a re-envisioned version of an earlier fanwork - fanlore.org)

For those of you who will be tackling the best way to re-use a past prompt, we hope you'll keep in mind that everyone loves MORE CAKE!!

There's an artist I really really like and we follow each other and they had an idea & drew it out and I saw it and it's the same idea I had but I have been writing it out with a friend and now I feel like shit bc we basically had the exact idea and I know it's stupid to be upset because there's only so many ideas in the world especially when you are in fandom and I don't wanna be upset but i am and i'm not upset at them or anything just more in the fact that fandom makes me feel like i'm not allowed to draw the same things as other people because it's not original and i've never had this problem until recently and it fucking sucks.

I'll still end up doing it, but it wont feel the same now and it's fucking stupid that i feel this way about it because more cake is always good but fandom isn't the same anymore so the possibility of being called a thief weighs heavy on me now especially with how I've had it happen to me before in the SW fandom with something else.
