Drabble Fest

[jadesfire]

EDIT: Drabble fest now closed! I have 21 prompts (eek!) so hopefully eventually finish some time over the weekend...

Thanks!

Everyone seems very 'meh' at the moment, so I thought it would be good to cheer things up a bit. Last time that happened, I ended up opening another comm, but as I'm already modding three, I figure I should keep things a little more contained this time.

Every now and then, when the mood takes me, I hold a drabble fest, in which I offer to write drabbles or ficlets on demand and on prompt.

Well, I'm in the mood, so prompts are now OPEN. As I'm also feeling slightly dappy, I'm particularly asking for crossover prompts, but that's not compulsory. Just a word or a phrase or a quote plus a fandom (or two) will do nicely.

This is open to anyone at all - regulars or if you've just wandered in randomly. *waves* Nice to see you. Have a seat, have a drink and can I offer you a drabble? And yes, I know I already owe people drabbles already, but I know what they're going to be, I just haven't put words round them yet.

The list of fandoms is below, so take your pick and prompt away! I'll keep it open until at least tomorrow morning so hopefully timezone issues can be dealt with...

Fandoms

Doctor Who (Preferably New Who, but any except the First Doctor)
Torchwood
House
Buffy (to the end of Season 6)
Angel (Seasons 1 and 2)
Star Trek (any but Enterprise)
Criminal Minds
Terry Pratchett
Stargate SG1 (I've read SGA but not seen any yet...)
Sapphire and Steel

OK, since all the Americans are obviously still asleep (well, apart from Becky)...

How about some Buffy. Giles (by himself or with anyone else you care to put him with). Prompt: watch (as in wristwatch, not Watcher - or both, if you like!)

Hmm. I need a Giles icon. Have Nearly Naked Jack instead :-)

I'm going to pretend that didn't make me laugh.

*wanders off and shuts up again*

*g* Your sleep patterns just don't fit in with anybody else's atm :-)

It's nice to hear you are getting some, though.

Sleep, that is *g*

[fandom-me.livejournal.com]

Oh, christ. I slept 19 out of the last 24 hours.

Some? That's one way of puttin' it. *G*

[unfeathered]

You've got a lot to catch up on!

Bounce bounce...

Yay! Sapphire and Steel...and letter K!!

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Sadly my prompt-mojo is as absent as my fic mojo, so I'll just throw random lyrics at you and want to to write Torchwood/Doctor Who drabbles with it, that okay?

You're not awake yet / I've been the entire night / and asked myself quietly / what you'd do if I left now / I'm the rain and you're the sea

Here's a crossover prompt for you *g*

Torchwood/Stargate SG-1: (Special bonus if you include Thor *g*) Torchwood has something that the SGC thinks should be theirs. Jack & Jack interaction, maybe a bit of Daniel and Ianto too *g*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Prompt collected and being worked on :)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Sounds more like Sesame Street ;) Hokay, will see what happens.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Random lyrics are fine - will see what I can do.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

o_O you don't want much from your drabble, do you? *senses a long crossover coming on*

We'll see what happens... :D

[bironic.livejournal.com]

How about... House/Star Trek ("any but Enterprise" sounds good to me), or failing that, House & company watching Star Trek.

[dark-aegis.livejournal.com]

*hangs head* I tried for something shorter, really. ;)

But if you want something shorter, um...

Jack meets Jack. Scenario up to you :)

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Ooh!

Daniel Jackson meets the Librarian of Unseen University. (Giles just met him in my action figure universe. *g*)

[miss-zedem.livejournal.com]

LORNE/IANTO!!!!!!

*cough*

OK, so Lorne is in SGA more than SG1, but that's a technicality. And you know their characterisation well from TIC (trust me, Lorne's player has nailed him completely - snarky, clever, given to understatement etc).

If you're not feeling up to that, then I'd like Ianto/Nas, Jack/Hywel, Jack/Hugh, or all of the above. And yes, those are slashes ;)

Your prompt (for whatever you choose) is Rugby (as in the sport, not the place).

*bounces*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

We'll see what we can do - I'm not ruling anything out. Yet. :D

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Suitably random - I like it :)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Oh good grief...the worrying thing is that I can really see it...

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*shakes head* what are you trying to do to me?

We'll see what happens... *sigh*

[bironic.livejournal.com]

:) Not enough House/ST crossovers in the world.

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

Jack and Hugh on Discworld. Prompt: Unseen University faculty ball. (As in "dance", just to clarify.)

Huge congratulations to you if you can do anything with that in 100 words...

*sneaks off with the coffee urn*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Oh good grief...that's like a crossover squared.

I may need the coffee urn back *chases after you*

Time

[I lack a proper Giles icon, so this will have to do...]

Time

In the end, he took the watch off and put it in his desk drawer. Of course, there was still the clock on the wall, but he could turn his back to that. And since there was still no computer in the small office, he could completely avoid having to see the time.

He couldn't watch the seconds tick past, waiting and wondering where she was. When she was going to come home. If she was going to come home. It was better that way. Because even without a clock to count the seconds, it always felt like too long.

Just trying to keep you on your toes!

*hands back urn with innocent smile* I refilled it for you...
