dirty words

I'm obviously not going to be attempting nano because that would be crazy, but should I decide in the next few hours to fail gloriously in a plan-free actual-plot-not-just-breakfast fan fictional sort of way now or ever:

What would have been a super awesome Star Trek episode? I'm not asking you to plot a story for me (unless you want to?), but seriously, what would have been a TV guide synopsis you'd have loved to see? (Any crew any series, whateva's your fave of the moment, though I have never written classic Trek before so that might be scary and also I have no 'ships except Kirk/Enterprise.)

p.s. I just got SAD when I saw the number 1,667 today and realized it would mean nothing to me this yeeeeear.

When in doubt, get sparktober BINGO.

( BINGO 2012! )

I didn't read the fine print before I requested drabbles from phrenitis and aj, so.

The first ten people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing*. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (If you absolutely can't write, maybe find a creative alternative? Or not. I'm easy.)

*I reserve the right to refuse if I don't know who they are. Or have never seen any source. Although, that would be highly entertaining, so. GO TO TOWN.

Little Red's edits: JUST WRITE ME SPARKY AND WE'LL CALL IT GOOD. Also, bonus points if you post with an icon of the person/pairing you're requesting. :)

Fine print: It's sparktober! Estimate delivery accordingly.

I signed up last-minute. HOW COULD I NOT??

Now, um, tell me what you'd like to see, plz.

(I'm thinking most likely Atlantis, amirite? But I have strong crackfic desires to write Talia Winters saving herself and Garibaldi from the Psi Corps, because, idk, that's pretty ridiculous. I'm also taking Trek prompts!)

I sort of feel with Girl Saves Boy that it should be, like, unexpected Girl Saves Boy, not like Sam or Ivanova or Zoe who can so obviously kick more ass than anyone else. What do you think? But if I do pick a non-traditionally-kickass character, should I have them use their established strengths (like, Beverly Crusher cures mysterious alien disease! or Diane reprograms Jake's nanites just in time!) or make them kick ass out of their element? IMPORTANT QUESTIONS!

No, really, please discuss and/or prompt me before I feel like I've made a horrible mistake in Pledging To Write Something.

(If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.)

I blame ALL OF YOU! :)

1. aj: FLUFFY DANIEL/JANET. Or, FLUFFY DOGGETT/REYES.
2. anuna_81: Funny John/Elizabeth? Or funny Trip/T'Pol?
3. hihoplastic: John/Elizabeth (duh) - All this domesticity was really starting to freak him out.
4. leyenn: Gibbs/Abby Something trekkish in honor of STO.
5. pellucid: whatever of aj's prompts I don't take! [Because I LOVE YOUUUU even if you don't do the meme!]
6. liminalliz: Trip/T'Pol reunion of jooooooooooy
7. medie: John/Elizabeth - She turns up at his door. This is not a bad thing. Especially since she has beer.
8. oparu: Any Star Trek ship, "Dress uniforms really aren't that bad after all"
9. ficgate: Jake/Diane from Jake 2.0
10. trialia: Sparky closet!smut

Please comment with one word. (Scrabble rules do not apply - the word can be a person, place, or slang.)

I will write a drabble-ish length reply. It might be fic, it might be original, it might be memory, might be, I don't know, a definition? A recipe? A made-up word origin?

I promised last night that I would make art every chance I get and am having a bit of a hard time getting started when hulu is right there with ten thousand shows I don't need to watch.

Help? :)

(p.s. if you want to do this exercise too, I promise to give you a word!)

If you have 1.5 minutes to answer a poll, please clicky this underlined text to go to ashism's journal and give her data for a project thinggy she's working on! I'm not quite sure what it is, but it involves "cashflow" and "higher education" and something.

Please go now! She's offering free icons, it looks like, and since ashism rocks my socks, I'll offer free drabbles to those who answer her poll. Go answer poll, then comment here with what you want!

<3

Please prompt me for ficlets with icons! Use mine or yours. Or random ones you just found somewhere, whichever.

small print: no promises are made regarding length, quality, or actual fulfillment of obligation.

You know my fandoms. :) If you give me an icon for a fandom I actually don't know, I may steal inspiration for a fandom I do know (no promises on whether you'll also know it :-P) or tell you ERROR, TRY AGAIN.

Last night I dreamed a crossover between Star Trek: Voyager and Baby Sitter's Little Sister.

( because omg, nothing more boring than listening to other people's dreams, right? )

If I ever write this fanfic, I'm not telling anyone.
