It is again time for a new prompt. We are now trying our new prompt types and the first one to come up is the picture with a word connected to it. So the prompt for week #123 is:

I liked the picture too. Knew it was the one I wanted to use, as soon as I saw it. Don't know yet what I'm going to write but hopefully it will come to me *g*

Question about tagging. From the way you've tagged this it looks as though we tag with the word prompt even if we chose to interpret the photo in a completely different way. Is that correct?

[aleathiel.livejournal.com]

I was just looking for clarification really. It would be too complicated to have a tag for the picture separately and since tags have to be words anyway...

[aleathiel.livejournal.com]

Would that be as well as or instead of the word only tag?

And it might be nice to have something in the list of tags that acknowledged which of them were photo prompts, so yes, maybe that would work.

That sounds like a good system to me. Thanks for thinking about my question.

So, do we have to take the picture and the word as one prompt? Or, are we able to chose between one or the other?

You can choose between them or use both. I took this from the original post where the new types of prompts were announced:

You'll be given an image, along with a word. As with the prompts we currently have, it will be up to you how you use it. You can choose to write about the image, refer to it in passing as a photo or painting on the wall in your story, or simply incorporate the word that accompanies it. If you know someone who can manip, you can have the image altered to suit your needs.

I hope this helps!

I have 3 questions, all interlinked:
would it be alright to do TWO fics for a picture/word prompt; ie: one for the picture, one for the word?
if so, can i do what a couple of other people are doing and have 2 accounts going?
and if so (again) would it be alright to effectivly "mule" it and post the "hello, i have done a fic" bit on TtM with the second account, but have the link go to my main account, or would you prefer I keep to the account i posted with? (argh complicated question!)
thanx
