Prompt Post

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Okay, I officially hate myself. After all, no one else put words into the prompt generator, and since the prompt generator is officially evil, I must be evil.

Arrhizal

Yeah, yeah, I don't expect anyone knows that one... not unless we have some biology people amongst us. So, check out here and here and here.  Enjoy those limericks, and (might I ask) what is the point of a limerick that isn't dirty?

And remember, as always, you can interpret that as you like. Me, I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do, so let the whining begin.

I will be using that metaphorially. So, I guess I'm going to have a rootless character... or a parasitic one.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

OH... Giles lecture. Totally. Parasitic, demonic plants? That could work.

And yeah, I'll admit I like a challenge. I started getting the prompt generator together after doing the fanfic100 challenge and being disappointed with how easy some of the prompts were. He. Blue. Okay, I can write that with my eyes closed. I pulled words from biology lists, psychology lists, writing prompts, anything I could find that was weird and brought absolutely nothing to mind when I first looked at it.

ok, so we're talking like an air fern or something? spanish moss? too bad i'm in friggin LONDON!!!

How did I know Week 30 would be something like this? Are you sure the generator is random???

I am officially screwed. I think. Where is Declan's arse? I need to start pulling something out of it.

Remember, you can interpret it metaphorically... accuse a person of being arrhizal. Focus on someone or something being rootless. Focus on someone or something being parasitic.

Not that any of that helps me right now, but I'll think of something. And yes, the generator is random, but you should see some of the shit in it: Entheogen, blood, sweat & hysterics, A journey of a thousand miles starts with a quick stumble, Ameterasu. I'm telling you, there's weird, evil damn shit in there.

How did you know there was going to be whining? *g*

I should have known that the prompt was going to be something horrible. Read the definitions and even they didn't help much since had trouble understanding them too *g* To my shock, however, an idea is starting to form in my head. It remains to be seen if it's usable.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Good for you. I'm still in the stuttering... babbling WTF mode.

[piksa.livejournal.com]

I'm quite afraid this week's offering from me might be het. *runs for the hills* Or if not het then gen which is almost as bad from me *g* It's been years since I wrote either of them. It's been all slash for me for a few years now.

I want to thank you again for creating this com. I don't think I would have written this much during this time if it wasn't for the challenges. Even if I whine and gripe almost every week I've had a blast. And will have in the future too, I'm sure. Hopefully I will be able to keep up.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm writing more and more gen these days, so I'll forgive you. And I'm so glad that this comm helps you get the muse in line. It has really kept me going through times I think I would have been tempted to walk away from fandom.

[sunnyd-lite.livejournal.com]

Hey if I could get parental death out of et tu, Brute? I wonder what the muse will come up with on this one...wanders away to placate the muse with caffeine.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

See, I think these prompts just wear the muses out so bad, they're too damn tired to run from us anymore.

Okay, so far I've actually managed to use the word rather than just the concept each week, but this time it will definitely have to conceptual.

Squints at the 2,500 I've already written of the next chapter and tries to work out how best to fit it in.

Personally I think your computer is possessed!

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well see the above comments on what I put in there, and you'll see that the generator is simply evil because I was obviously in an evil phase when I made it for myself.

And conceptual is totally cool. I'm just all atwitter over you have so much done on the next chapter. Me want!

[sparrow2000.livejournal.com]

Maybe you've got an evil twin. Or even better, maybe your computer has an evil twin! I always knew Microsoft was satanic!

The only reason I've got that much done is that I'm out and about a lot next week, so not sure how much time I'll get. Also Mr Sparrow is down with flu (real flu as opposed to boy flu) so I want to get most of it written before he gives it to me! He's generous and thoughtful like that!

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Sometimes generosity is not of the good. I hope you can fend off the flu, and I will take any tidbits I can get from you. I truly am loving the slow seduction.

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

You HAD to make the prompt something to really challenge those of us who are at 30, didn't you?

This might be the sort of thing Fred would say. Unfortunately, I need to really know it myself before Fred can say it intelligently.

Oh my goodness.

I was evil enough to put it in at the beginning, but this is what the random generator created. Yeah, it's not good, I'll give you that.

[umbralillium.livejournal.com]

*stares* Somehow, my muse is figuring out a way to fit this into the sequel to last week's prompt. *faints*

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Cool. I somehow don't think this will fit into my one ongoing WIP right now, so time for some pulling from ass.

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

OMG, are these getting worse the closer we get to the goddess stage?

Well, I suppose trying to put this one in seven will be amusing. ^_^

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

I don't know... the early bird catches pneumonia still seems pretty high on the OMG o'meter. I'm learning to just float with it. OKay, I flail and wail, but I know something will come up.

[artemis-rain.livejournal.com]

Heee! Once again, the weirdest prompts prove to be the ones I can incorporate the most easily!

I can fit this into my next story two or three different ways AT LEAST!

Wait... does this make me evil, too?

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

If so, we can be evil together.

[artemis-rain.livejournal.com]

Awesome. We could start a club!
