Writerly Ways

[cornerofmadness]

I'm still too damned brain dead to do up the post I wanted to do for this. I've spent so much time working I can't find time to do much. Fiction still flows but not something I have to really think hard on (so I'm left brain dead I guess).

I will however steal an idea from evil_little_dog. I didn't get a chance to do much for my friends over the Yule/Christmas holidays and ditto with the chocolate box treats. So For Valentine's Day I want to write drabbles and ficlets for my friends. If you want to play, drop me a prompt and a fandom (or ask for original) and I'll see what I can do (let's call this procrastination and fun at the same time). Let's try to keep it to fandoms I know. If you're not sure, just ask. It doesn't have to be shippy in spite of it being Valentine's Day




And now for writing links!

Started an anime today that you might enjoy (I recall you liking horror? but if I'm wrong then whoops LOL). The Promised Neverland is pretty dark and I enjoyed the first episode a lot.

[cornerofmadness]

That reminds me I need to get further on the manga. I'm way behind. I watched the whole first season on Cartoon Network and I do like horror and I like The Promised Neverland (with the exception of the Black 'sister' who is horribly drawn and just weird)

thanks for the rec

Well I am a new friend but perhaps you would like a prompt from me... I think you can guess the fandom 🤣🤣

Riptide, “is this a date?”

I will be happy to reciprocate, if you would like, with any fandom I’m familiar with (check my tags) 😀 prompt away!

[cornerofmadness]

Sure why not. OMG I haven't thought about this show in forever but I DID watch it.

Did I see Simon and Simon on your interest list? I saw one for Phryne Fisher.

[tinx_r]

Oh what fun. (No pressure of course, but squee!)

Yes to both but I should warn I am only familiar with Phryne from the books (I understand there’s a tv series? I am unsure of the differences or if they matter!)

[cornerofmadness]

Sounds good.

HUGE differences from what I can see I've only read a couple of the books. I enjoy both.

But how about this Rick & AJ Simon ; AJ doesn't know how to take a day off.

Hey, if you want more prompts for Valentine's Day, I'd appreciate anything in the Buffyverse with found family and without shippiness. :D

[cornerofmadness]

sure I can do that! anyone in particular

[thenewbuzwuzz]

Thanks! :) Lorne, maybe? Or whoever comes to you.

[cornerofmadness]

Sounds good
