Prompts?

[spindizzy]

Hey guys - this post is going to be a sticky, so feel free to come back to it whenever you fancy! I'm doing my best to make it easy to find.

I WOULD LIKE YOU GUYS TO LEAVE ME PROMPTS, IF THAT'S OKAY. Any fandom you think I'm into or would like, any/no pairings, as many comments/prompts as you'd like. I just... Want to make a repository of things for me to write in the future that's a bit less intimidating than going through the ff_exchange backlist. Like, I won't promise that I'll get to everything, but I really like the idea of having a fixed place to look for inspiration?

PLEASE HELP ME TO SEE HOW LONG THIS CHAIN OF POSTING FIC EVERYDAY CAN LAST.

Write something to completely crush my Mass Effect feels. And then when you played a bit of it, something to destroy my Life is Strange Feels.

[spindizzy]

I am going to keep copies of this comment so that when you come back like "SUSAN WHY" I can just point to it.

[thebaconfat]

I want an original thing based on those tweets you RT'd about makeup being magic. Magical girls! With magical makeup! And lesbians!!

[spindizzy]

The trouble is that I remember retweeting these, but I can't remember what they said. Curse Twitter not having a proper search function! I WILL BODGE SOMETHING TOGETHER.

[thebaconfat]

Prompts!

- Laeta being stubborn
- Meryt struggling to be direct about something
- Jemis' first time seeing Rahad's face
- The story behind that attempted strangulation
- More of that time Joshua accidentally left a key in Reckert's office

[spindizzy]

Oh man, all of these are great. ESPECIALLY Meryt trying to be direct - that is such a good idea, thank you Baco!

[thebaconfat]

I need to think of Seifer/Zell requestes!!!!!!!!!!! Besides just any snips of DTG you are willing to share. WATCH THIS SPACE

[thebaconfat]

Seifer & Zell - infirmary
- status effects
- Zell being totally incapable of turning down ridiculous challenges

[spindizzy]

I feel like this comment could just be ONE fic, not gonna lie. Maybe in reverse order.

[squeemu]

OH MY GOD

OH MY GOD

OH MY GOD

[spindizzy]

I have no idea what the ridiculous dare would be, but it could only end badly. And maybe with berserk Zell trashing the infirmary.

[squeemu]

There's a reason Dr. Kadowaki keeps a bunch of sleep spells junctioned. although. Maybe she doesn't use magic, because you need to have a GF, and those eat your memories and what if you suddenly can't remember how to fix people?

Hmmm.

Sleep powder. There are regular SeeD patrols that go out and gather the ingredients for her.

I'm just picturing the dare to be something like, "Let's see who can kill more grats," except Zell wouldn't cheat unless Seifer did it first.

[spindizzy]

There's... Para-magic? Which is how soldiers have magic when they don't have GFs, as far as I recall? (I could be completely wrong on that.)

... Oh, now I'm picturing Kadowaki monitoring SeeD candidates who are losing their memories due to GF use and I'm trying to work out whether she'd be okay with it (her job is literally to patch up children and teenagers after they've damn near killed themselves and each other), or whether she keeps filing reports about the adverse effects and Cid keeps ignoring her. ._.

Sleep powder. There are regular SeeD patrols that go out and gather the ingredients for her.
That's a really sensible idea! And I imagine that it's one of those weird jobs where no one's really proud to go on it, but they know that if they DON'T do it they'll be going into surgery with no anaesthetic at some point. >_>

I imagine it starts off as that, and then it escalates horribly and turns into an argument about whether the T-Rexaur killing grats counts if they lured it in, and how can they tell who lured the T-Rexaur.

[squeemu]

OH MY GOD, I totally forgot about para-magic. *facepalm* Odine figured out how to manufacture it, right? Or, uh, figured out how to let non-GF users use magic. (As a side note, it's really interesting that you still draw that magic from them. Although maybe it's actually innate magic that you draw vs drawing physical spells, I'm not sure.)

Also holy craaaap, that's a really interesting idea with Kadowaki. Even just monitoring SeeDs and noticing memory loss. And yeah, I can never decide how... much she's had to steel her heart against the horrors of her job vs how much she is an advocate vs somewhere in between.

....ffff, that is ALSO an idea about going into surgery without anaesthetic if no one goes out to get the right medicine.

...Kind of also want to see a story now that's just about the SeeD who train specially to be a combat doctor/healer. (Also don't think they're stuck to healing -- they have a number of Zombie spells and can fuck you right up if you're susceptible to it.)

Seifer claims Zell lured it in by yelling so loud. Zell thinks it must've been Seifer, if he's trying to blame this on Zell.

[thebaconfat]

I JUST REMEMBERED ABOUT FANFIC CLICHES!

- whatever pairing you want and hypothermia
- or stuck in the middle of nowhere
- or both
- or zombies
- or all of the above

- Seifer and Zell meeting the alternate timeline or future version of themselves that are Totally Doing It

[thebaconfat]

Other Seifer/Zell ones!
- jailbreak
- ballroom
- stakeout

[spindizzy]

\o/ \o/ \o/ JUST WHAT I AM AFTER.

[squeemu]

yessssss you are amazing for having this as a sticky and making it so easy to find, thank you. I thought I might have to tweet you and ask where it was again. XD

UNCHARTED
- everything
- the time it was Elena's idea to go someplace dangerous and stupid (and Nate followed her even though there was no guarantee of treasure)
- patching each other up
- Elena teaching Nate how to shoot properly
- Nate finding random treasure in the middle of ruins. Elena comes over to see what it is and it's a -- piece of old copper? Nate, put that down, you don't know where it's been.
- aka Nate has to wash his clothes sometime because he fell in mud and now his trinkets are spilling EVERYWHERE

ANYTHING WITH THE UNCHARTED/SHADOWRUN CROSSOVER, ANYTHIIIIING

FF8
- concentration and casting magic
- what they've been taught vs what they actually encounter
- that time Seifer and Zell accidentally got assigned as roommates and no one noticed until after they'd already started moving in
- Zell vs Blobra and the ensuing mess. (The 100 Wateras aren't for the monsters; they're for him.)

MADOKA
- sometimes things go right
- fluff for Madoka and Homura 8|
- anything with Madoka's mom in it (or maybe Important Life Lessons her mom taught her? idk)
- the time Homura tried to kill Kyubey
- temptation / it doesn't really matter

SPACE LESBIANS
- on the run
- barfights for fun (and profit?)
- out of ammo

LESBIAN NOIR
- stakeouts
- When I said throw the book at him, I didn't mean it literally

[spindizzy]

YOU ARE AMAZING. LOOK AT ALL OF THESE.

I am going to work my way through these, this is so great. Thank you for leaving them! Yeah, having it be a sticky is SO GREAT because hopefully it means that if people go "Hey, I want Susan to write a thing!" they can just come back and say so at any time. :D :D :D

[squeemu]

FF8 CONT'D
- Kadowaki and memory loss
- Annual mandatory psych evaluations for all SeeD and Garden staff
- SeeD field medics (possibly Xu? possibly Nida? Idk)
- amnesia from a concussion vs GF side effects
- SPEAKING OF, specifically Seifer and Zell, amnesia from a blow to the head

[thebaconfat]

Goodnight/Billy as ladies!!

[spindizzy]

Baco, Baco why would you do this to me

Baco I have like 500 words of Billy watching Goodnight attempt to put on traditional femininity and both of them hating every second

Baco

[spindizzy]

Goodnight Sweet Polly Olivered her way to war.

Billy dresses as is most practical and looks gorgeous as a side benefit.

Together they punch everything.

Yuri and Victor awkwardly returning to their hotel room after they just basically declared their love on live TV???

Yuri watching Victor skate and Having Feelings About It

Yuri dragging a drunken Victor back to their room and putting him to sleep (it's like trying to put a drunk octopus to bed. an octopus that won't keep its clothes on)
