First of all, thank you to

derryderrydown and shewhoguards aka

googlebrat for my stories, The Sound of Silence and The Helicopter. I had no idea who'd written them, so there you are. But again, thank you both for them!

I wrote Three Men, Three Supercars and a Sodding Great Stretch of Romanian Road, or, If They Could Extract And Market It, Top Gear Could Fund the BBC (with thanks to

veronamay and

suggsygirl for the beta, and for reassuring me by laughing during same) as my original assignment, and Is it 'Good Morrow' if it's scarcely after midnight? as an extra when I saw it listed on the Yuletide Madness list (thanks to

mcicioni for the beta on short notice). Thanks to everyone who left such lovely comments!

Oh, and as for 'Good Morrow' -- as I stated it's a fragment for a (then) unwritten first time L/H fic. Judging by the comments, some of you'll be pleased to know that the full story has now been written and is now at the beta's for the second pass. :) Also that the long fic I mentioned has been undergoing some extra polishing now that I 'know' what originally happened, and that one of my betas is working on the version I sent her before the holidays. :)

Also, I have a few ideas and partly-written fics for what happened between the first time fic and the sodding great fic (now up to 39896 words), and after said sodding great fic, so there'll be plenty more coming!

Firstly, 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. )
