Timestamp Meme

[jadesfire]

Just in case there's anyone out there apart from topaz_eyes and myself not engrossed in fandom implosion...

As I said yesterday, I'm NOT reading the latest Harry Potter, so you can assume this journal to be a spoiler free zone. As well as very, very quiet as everyone flees LJ in fear of spoilers.

I'm tied to the computer, attempting to study for most of day so if anyone does want to drop in and say hello, I'd be very happy to see you.

I'll even write you a ficlet :) It's a while since I did a drabble-fest, and I thought I'd try something different this time...

Timestamp meme
Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

I just blitzed through the entire book in about five hours in sheer self-defence. Now I've handed it over, so I don't have to hear the constant "C'mon, hurry up, I want to read it!" that I got.

I'm back now, though. And about to go join in with the memeage. It'll be good to be able to get my brain away from all the serious fic that's on my writing list :)

*blinks* Good grief, woman! Speed reading or what?!

It's a good meme :) Any requests?

Hmm. *digs through stories*

Ooooh. Five minutes after your drabble 'Girdelstehe'.

*g* Excellent! It might be tomorrow morning, but I'll see what I can do :D

A drabble, 100 words exactly:

Rose was going to die. Grasping the railing, she gasped, trying to suck in air as the edges of her vision started turning black. The Doctor came over to help her sit on the console room floor, easing her down gently and holding her as she shook. This was it: she was going to die laughing.

Across the room, Jack put his hands on his hips in annoyance, sending fresh waves of giggles through her until tears were rolling down her face. He shook his head, huffing a little.

"Anyone would think you'd never seen a man in tights before."

Your last line just killed me. This was exactly what I'd hoped for: an absolute gem of a fic.

*joins Rose with the laughing*

*happy grin* Brilliant prompt, thanks! Glad you like :D

Ooh thank you - that drabble just cheered me up (I broke myself with one of prompts *facepalm*)

You're welcome :)

Oh hon! Which one? I'm around today (duh) if you want to email/msg...
