Knocking the rust off the typewriter keys

I've been reading and admiring everyone's "2012 fic in review" posts. There's been a lot of fabulous writing over the last year ( Read more... )

Personally I think it would have been highly entertaining to do the YIR for your drabble but then I'm cracked that way. *g*

I'd still be looking hard at Warehouse 13.

Heh, I'm not ruling it out entirely. I'm ridiculously rusty at blogging too for that matter, so everything's fair game at the moment. *shifty eyes*

I'd still be looking hard at Warehouse 13.That definitely qualifies as a most brilliant idea. Only thing is, for some reason I'm generally lukewarm about writing (or even reading) WH13 fanfic - don't know why, but it's one of those shows where my enjoyment is pretty much confined to watching the canon and chatting with the OH about it ( ... )

I LOVE the green card idea.

And hey, sooner or later one has to write at least one story for a megafandom. I think it's the law or something...

Yay!

*nods* Too true.

And that reminds me, I also wrote a ridiculous crackfic for BBC Sherlock in 2012 (as well as the drabble, I mean) - so my published output is approx. 1000% more than I thought it was. *dances about*

I have a weird habit of checking out all my mates' picfor1000 pics before scrolling down to my own and I had immediate prompt-envy for your pic. It's beautifully photographed and just unique enough to get the gears turning. Hope you have fun with it!

Oddly enough the first thing I thought of was your S&G icon. *points*

If the photo is really hopeless then free association is your best friend.

BTW, while researching a possible plot bunny I discovered that in the 17th century, 'pike' was a euphemism for penis. But of course you know that, right? ;-)

Well, it is fireworks... I figure if I'm really stuck I could just take it in its metaphorical sense and write sex sex sex. Y'know, business as usual ;)

Well, naturally I knew that. In fact, I'm pretty sure Captain Pike here travelled back in time just to make it so. *g*

it's always much easier to brainstorm other people's prompts than my own

WHY IS THAT. I did that when I signed up for (shh let's never talk about it after this one time) kink_bingo, where everyone else's cards looked SO achieveable.

High crack -- oh do it, do it.

TBH I think it's because there's no pressure when you're brainstorming vicariously. Whereas when I do the same with my own prompt pic, there's a part of my brain that's growling, "You had better think up something good or this will fall flat, fall FLAAAAAT I tells ya!"

I've signed up for three of the bingoes - binghi? - but I've never been grabbed enough by the results to write something. Maybe the problem is that there's so much overlap? ('Fever/illness' is on all three. Also 'Wildcard', WHAT'S WITH THAT.)

But I know, I know I could totally rock mundane_bingo. If it still existed. *mourns* I don't suppose there's a silly_bingo out there? *investigates* Phooey. *cries*
