One small step...

[jadesfire]

Everyone who writes goes through dry patches. This is pretty much a Truth Universally Acknowledged, blahblahblah, keep going, you'll get over it etc etc and much hand patting and hugging later, things get better.

Except when they don't, and you're *counts* three months on from when you last finished a fic properly, and you start to think that there's something actually wrong.

That said, I wasn't going to do this, because you know what's worse than having severe writer's block? Putting up a post to help with your writer's block and having to listen to the tumbleweed blowing through your empty journal. But I'm just desperate enough to risk it, quiet as LJ is right now (curse you Twitter!)

So I'm taking drabble prompts. The usual drill: leave me a Fandom, Character and Prompt word, and I'll deliver a 100 word story. Crossovers are fine, but no pairings please. I'll take on Stargate Atlantis, Doctor Who (including Eight (Lucie or Charlie) but not Eleven), Torchwood, Criminal Minds, Discworld, Supernatural and Sapphire and Steel but not House this time around, since I've only seen S1 & 2 and that was a while back.

FANDOM; CHARACTER; PROMPT WORD and a shiny 100 word story in return.

Simples!

If you find a cure, please give me a call, I can't write two sentences I like anymore :/

Oh, prompts: Torchwood, Jack, starlight

Who; Eight, Charley (I haven't listened to Lucie yet); protest


Pretty please?

This will be my third year of writing fic, and I've pretty much accepted that I'll only manage to be (somewhat) productive for about half the year, all told. ::hugs::

Doctor Who; Eight and Charley; bicycle

ETA D'oh! Mad_jaks beat me to it. Is it okay to have two for the same characters?

It's...hard this year, on lots of people, I think. Not sure what's going on, but there's definitely quietness on the fic-front at the moment.

:) Lovely, and I have an idea already, thank you!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*g* Sounds good. Will see what I can do...

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

It's weird - I did plan to write less this year, but this wasn't quite how I'd planned on achieving that!

Yes, it's fine! You know, since it's you ;)

[naye]

Doctor Who; Donna; shiny.

Thank you! I won't blow you a kiss, I think I'm gettinga sore throat.

[nightporters.livejournal.com]

Donna (Dr Who) vs Castiel (SPN), and she's really pissed off.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*sporfle* can't wait to fit that into 100 words...

Brilliant prompt, sweetie, thanks!

I must have some SGA! How about: SGA, Ronon, after.

I've been working on one fic, for well over a year now. The first 10000 words came easy, but the rest...

Hmm... prompt:
Supernatural, John Winchester, 'angels'

XWA

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

w00t! Discworld; Sam Vimes; fatherhood. And I'm not fussed about exactly 100 words unless you are.

[karaokegal.livejournal.com]

Character: Owen
Prompt word: Pride

Torchwood: Jack/Ianto; hot (or heat)

OR

Dr. Who: Ten; chinese food

*hug* I've had six-month dry spells before this. It does come back eventually, and usually with a vengeance.

Hmmm.

Discworld, Moist von Lipwig, photographs (iconographs).

I can't wait to see what you do with that one :)

[morgynleri]

Stargate Atlantis; Evan Lorne; roses

[in-the-bottle.livejournal.com]

3 months? I raise you 8 months. I'm starting to think I may *never* write again...

*cries*

Prompt:

SGA; Sheppard; lightsaber

ie. *points at icon*

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

Ouch, I'm sorry you're dealing with writer's block!

Here you go: Doctor Who, Jack, Aerobics.

[aeshna_uk]

It will pass, I promise. :) Sometimes the brain just needs a bit of extra processing time....

Prompt:

Torchwood; Jack; thunder

[darsynia.livejournal.com]

Doctor Who; Ten; Giddy

edit: Woah, weird! I had a sentence of encouragement and it must have gotten highlighted and deleted out of the post when I went to post it! Sorry :C I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with writer's block! I think a drabble-off is a great way to reignite the muse :)

[fish-echo.livejournal.com]

Torchwood, Owen, home.

*hug* Hope you poke your muse into shape *hug*

*Sends your muse chocolates. In the shapes of letters.*
