Just reply to a prompt, and leave your own for someone else. No pairing or length requirements, here, but there's a Zosopp one in that com, too. (which is now live ( Read more... )

Title: Goes Without Saying (XD Does the title count for the cliche fill?)
Pairing: LuSopp if you want or just nakama-ness
Rating: G
Word Count: 135
Note: Another lame and quick fill, my apologies...brain isn't firing on all cylinders at the moment

It doesn’t come up, not even in passing or in vague allusions. Luffy’s got a thing about the past being the past and the present and the future being far more important. And it’s an admirable way to live but it’s not for everyone. Talking works for some as well as silence does for others. Still, the sniper doesn’t raise the issue either and it’s not because he’s ashamed or feels guilty. While the outcome of their argument might not have been appropriate, the reasons for it were not entirely one-sided. It’s more because of the way Luffy basically ruined his shirt during those last moments at Water 7, so much snot and salty tears and grasping, needy fingers that stretched the cotton threads beyond the point of elasticity. And because Usopp did the same.

Prompt: Brown

It may be quick, but it's not lame to me - to the contrary, I think its simple, direct brevity is very appropriate to the prompt. Not to mention being sweet and true. ♥

Talking works for some as well as silence does for others.

I really like that you include this. Way too many people seem to assume that it's more virtuous to be quiet than to be verbal, at least in fiction, rather than both being valid.

I've been thinking about that time recently (popping around through older arcs), nicely played, I like it.

Haha, nice try... ;)

Gonna finish something I need to get up before I forget again, and get to work on some of these fills, myself. ^_^

(I feel like I've been doing the chaos thread wrong - sorry for the overly-long and earnest fills! Will try to keep this one brief, at least.)It's a quiet day at the Spider Café. In one corner, Miss Goldenweek is busy painting, not with the strong, vibrant paints she uses for her colour traps, but her softer watercolours. Paula (a.k.a Miss Doublefinger), who pauses to look down at her painting for a moment, sees a small, quiet plaza with a few tables and chairs, trees who've dropped their leaves, houses in different styles around it, sparrows on the ground and a few people sitting down or walking by. There are little leaves here and there all over the painting. The people are small, scrawny, hard to make out; though she does note the man holding an accordion with a 3 on the top of his head. Almost everything is painted in various shades of brown ( ... )

To your note: not at all, you've been doing fine. Write what moves you - long fills are not anything to be avoided, short fills are good, too - any length is fine so long as its what you want to write. ^_^

Also - prompt?

As for the fill - very nice. ^_^ For some reason, I always like seeing Miss Goldenweek - and I have no idea why she didn't occur to me on this prompt... went in a completely different direction. Which... I will post as soon as I finish this other thing. o_O; That aside, nice feel in this.

Looking forward to your fill!

Good god I can't write anything I set out to. This response was supposed to be Usopp POV. GAH ( ... )

Well, it worked really well as a Kaya POV! Adorable. <333 The repetition of "politely" is a neat touch. ;)

Sorry for the deletion! Realising I'd put "tourniquet" where it should be "sling" was so embarrassing I felt a strong need to repost. orz No doubt there are still errors in this one, but hopefully not as big ones. (Nitpicks welcome because I'll repost it later to ffnet at least, maybe my own journal as well!)

Title: Disarmed
Word Count: around 1 000 words
Rating: PG (for violence shown and implied)
Characters: Nami, Robin
Pairing: intended as Nami/Robin, but ended up so mild it can be read as gen
Prompt: To (two) arms
Note: Contains wild, unconfirmed speculations Robin's Devil Fruit abilities and of Nami's new weather skills.

"Honestly," muttered Nami, her voice shaking slightly as she tied a makeshift sling for Robin's right arm, the taller woman bending down for her convenience, "of all the places you could have picked to get hurt in, you just had to pick that one... Don't move that arm until Chopper's had a look at it ( ... )

Nami caught her quickly. "Take it easy. Lean on me," she said in a low tone, worry mixed with firmness in her voice. Robin allowed herself to follow the admonishment, relieved there were no enemies between them and the broken shed. She closed her eyes for one moment and focused ( ... )

Sorry this took so long, my internet went out over the weekend. I really like what you did with this prompt - you quite cleanly managed to work in both possible aspects of the prompt, and you did it very nicely. You've got a good voice for Robin, too, which I enjoy. Good work! ^_^ Now, what can I do for this prompt...? *thinks*

I'm not sure how you managed to capture exactly the sort of sentiment I was thinking of when I used brown as a prompt, but you did. Liked the character choice and Paula's thoughts and the quiet nature of the piece.

Re: Brown printfogey May 20 2011, 04:57:55 UTC
Thanks! To be honest my very first thought was an autumn forest and either just plain Nami/Usopp or Nami thinking about Usopp, but then I felt that gee, maybe I should widen my writing scope a little more. And then Miss Goldenweek started to cough in headspace so I went with that instead.

(Were we ever told where Spider Café 2 is actually located, btw?)

:DD It sounds all too plausible, I say! And knowing what some of the things they've seen have been, I can't even fault Luffy and Usopp too much for jumping to this delicious conclusion...

lol, so them. Also your prompt. XD *feels guilty forever until that story is finished...*
