Politely nicked from scribble_myname:

Fic/shipping meme

1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Get prompts from people using numbers instead of names.
3. Write a fic of fifteen words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers.
4. Author, DO NOT read the prompts before you choose your characters

Please, everyone, steer me away from my critiquing. I've got my list of characters ready to go, and not a single one of my usual suspects are on it. Help a girl out.

So I've been feeling less than thrilled with myself lately as far as writing goes. I haven't written anything original in a long time now, and that pains me.

I'm going to ask a favor. Give me a prompt and a setting, anything from vague to intricately detailed, and I'll come up with something original for you. If you have some preferred character archetype or set of character archetypes for it, don't be shy.

I sure don't expect to be overwhelmed by too many prompts, but if I am, I'll let you know I've got all I can handle.

ETA: Wow, you guys, thanks. I have enough prompts for now. You're all awesome.
