drabble requests
Jan. 7th, 2006 09:44 pmTo blow $100 on a personalized autographed picture of Luke Skywalker, or not to blow $100? That is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to satisfy my fangirlishness and encourage frivolity, or to be a responsible adult, and do not waste money on things I do not need?
I do undoubtedly have the money, and don't think I'll need this particular $100 at least until I go to Lumos, but that's at the end of July, and I'll have a job by then. But still I tend to be reluctant to use money on things I don't really need, and I don't need Mark Hamill's autograph on a picture of Luke. And if I wasn't going to blow $150 on a permanent account on that sale back in June, when I've been using this LJ for over two years now, then why should I get an autograph when I'm not going to do anything with it other than look at it and squee over it?
I have until tomorrow to decide, and I want it. But it is $100 out of the bank account of a poor college student currently without a job, even if a $100 that I'm not likely to need until either Lumos or when I graduate from college three years from now and have to do something with myself...
Gah. Will think on it more, even though I'll probably end up buying it.
I want to submit a proposal for Lumos, but I have no idea what. That's also something I'll have to think about. But it would be such fun to have a discussion on say, AUs. Wonder if there's one already...
Last night I posted Narnia fic. It's gotten a nice response already (*hugs everyone who commented*), and I'll reply to comments probably tomorrow, but I figured I might as well remind you in case you missed it. :)
But now for the main point of this entry, if you took a look at the subject line.
250 people have friended me, which totally amazes me. But since it's happened, and since it's been awhile since I've done one of these, I'm going to hold a drabble request party.
The first 25 people who comment on this entry with a prompt (fandom and character/pairing, plus a scenario, or inspiring song lyrics/poetry/quotes, whatever) will get drabbles (or ficlets/fics, since things tend to grow on me) written for them. If you're not sure if I know a fandom that you want, ask. I'll try to get them done in a timely manner, but no guarantees on that, just that I will get them done. Limited to only people who have friended me, please.
May the requests begin! *g*

Date: 2006-01-08 06:33 am (UTC)Your Narnia fic was made up of so much awesome that I even made my fiancee read it. I will have to send it to my little brother and cousin if the don't start playing WoW the minute they get home.

Date: 2006-01-08 06:50 am (UTC)Remus/Sirius (Harry Potter), or whatever you feel like, really!
no subject
Date: 2006-01-08 07:08 am (UTC)Ahem, if you don't mind I'd like a Star Wars drabble of Luke/Mara where they have to tell Ben of how they met. Ben can be whatever age and it can be a whatever genre drabble. I'm not picky!
Thanks. :)

Date: 2006-01-08 08:53 am (UTC)"Let’s grab the world
By the scruff of the neck
And drink it down deeply
Let’s love it to death
So button your lip
And button your coat
Let’s go out dancing
Let’s rock ’n’ roll
You’re not the only one
With mixed emotions"
If it's too obscure, let me know. :>

Date: 2006-01-08 09:52 am (UTC)Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Lucius/Narcissa
Scenario: Something to do with Draco as a baby...either pregnant!Narcissa, or the Malfoys after Draco has been born. It doesn't have to be romantic or explicitly sexual, for obvious reasons.

Lucy/Mr Tumnus friendship or relationship
Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles

Date: 2006-01-08 10:17 am (UTC)So let's see... Narnia-fandom, obviously, something involving Peter, post-TLTWATW (unless you've already dried up your imagination on that subject, which I doubt). No trace of incest because I'm quite sure that's one of your squicks, but strong brotherly love would be wonderful.
Now, as for inspirational lyrics (because I'm a sucker for those, and find it often helps)...
Pick the one that inspires you the most:
"Hello, goodbye my friend
Feels like the start all over again"
"Don't want to fall into believing nothing"
"Lately we've been talking about who we are
Seems we don't know anymore"
And once again I've shown that I'm capable of writing an uberlong comment on even the smallest subject. *headdesk*

Date: 2006-01-08 10:18 am (UTC)If possible post-Hogwarts but before they thought Remus was the spy. I like fluff and bad/realistic pron.
Happy drabbling! (squee!)

Han/Leia.
Pregnancy.

Date: 2006-01-08 11:01 am (UTC)I'd love a Star Wars fic, gen, with child!Luke, and possibly a bit of Ben.
Because I love child!Luke fics, and I ahven't the faintest idea why.

Date: 2006-01-08 01:58 pm (UTC)Either Harry Potter's Remus/Sirius or Star War's Obi-Wan Kenobi (whichever floats your boat or inspires your muse at the time) and the phrase, "Oh not again!"
no subject
Date: 2006-01-08 03:43 pm (UTC)But here goes...
I'd love a story about Susan Pevensie, after the end of the series. She'd have been fairly young - in her mid-20s, I think. I'd love to see her dealing with the grief of losing her siblings, and maybe moving on.
