Dear Yuletide writer,
Nov. 16th, 2009 01:03 pmFirstly, let me say how delighted I am that you share an interest in at least one of my smaller fandoms; possibly even all three. You never know; I keep bumping into familiar names from five fandoms ago or thereabouts. :)
Secondly, these prompts are only a guide if you're scratching your head and saying 'who is she and what the hell do I write for her?' If you've got a plotbunny that's been nibbling at your ankles, expecially if it needs just that little extra bit of impetus to transfer from your brain to your word processing program of choice, go for your life, as we say here. At the risk of sounding pompous, I'd rather you write the fic that you want to write and that has you burning with inspiration and typing so fast the program can't keep up than thinking 'ah, shit, I'd better write this because she wants it' and punching out a dutiful formulaic fic that bores you.
( That said, if you need or want inspiration, or at least prompts, please read on. )
