Prompt Request: YOUR Characters (AKA "Let Me Write You Some Fanfiction")

[kiyakotari]

Prompt Submission Closed for Now

(While I work on what I've gotten.)
May open again later.

What it says. I want some prompts, and I want them to be about other people's characters. I want to write using characters other than the ones I normally work with. I might produce a drabble, it might be a ficlet. I doubt anything will really qualify as a full short story, but you never know.

There ARE rules.

1) No matter how well you think I know the character, I want at least one link (or you can eMail it to me, if you prefer, at maxwellsdemon02@yahoo.com) to an example of YOUR writing about them/using them. Character profiles would be nice, if you've got them already put together, but aren't what I'm talking about. I want some fiction that uses them, so I can get a taste of their personality, their quirks, their tendencies. Their brain, if you will.
2) Can be one or more characters, but if you give me a huge group I can't promise I'll use them all.
3) I don't care how often you write with them...if they're fanfiction characters, I won't do them. I'll do characters named after or inspired by the characters of others (doll people, this probably mostly applies to you), but that's it. And I reserve the right to decline such characters (though if I do, you can suggest another), because in many cases they aren't really the point of this exercise. For example, a character named Gaara who lives in a big city in the somewhat distant future, has red hair and green eyes, and fights zombies to survive each day would be totally appropriate (and fun). A character named Gaara who lives in the desert and likes sand would get a big fat middle finger.
4) I want more than just character names. Names, locations, situations, items to interact with, things to muse on (for first-person pieces), anything. But not just names.
5) You want smut, I'll write smut. But you'd better give me some DAMNED good insight into the dynamics of the relationship first. I won't write non-con for these requests.

For examples of previous successful prompts formats (though of a different nature than these), see This Post. It should give you an idea of the kinds of suggestions that will get the most response from me. There is such a thing as being TOO specific.

If I think of anything else, I'll add it, but that's all for now. So Prompt Me Hard!

(This experiment brought to you by the fact that I'm taking creative nonfiction right now, and I want to write some fiction so bad I'm going to start chewing my toes off soon. And this week's prompt at Resinality just isn't doing it for me.)

NOTE: I've screened most of the posts of character writing examples, because quite a few people have indicated they didn't necessarily want their work-in-progress type stuff bandied about the internets. And I know that I usually feel that way myself.

Well... it might be nice for you to do something within Time Knights if you liked. Link: www.rakurakutei.com/theloft/photo_album.htm

Hmmm... I don't know your characters as well as I would like, however, Trent and Apollo would be fun to work within your characters somehow? Perhaps Darryl was being attacked and Christian finds him? He's hurt and brought back to the Loft. How would Darryl deal within those dynamics... and Trent probably hitting on him the entire time (and possible smut is fine by me). ;)

How does this sound? Stupid/good/feel free to change....

I'd love to see you play with any of my boys! :D If you're up for it, I could email you a short something or other? (I think the only writing of them I've posted in my lj is... um. smut. ha ha.)

Well, the logical choice would be Edward Trinley Fell.

The illogical choice would be Professor Hugo, with a side order of Erling.

But actually? I'd really like to read your take on Ira. I have very little written around him. **muses** I'll see what I can do.

Ooohhh I love it when you do these X3

I'd love to see what you can do when you tackle writing my Russian, Sashenka Romanov (Sashe, for short).

The scene would be Manhattan, 1949, fresh from WWII, now inching to the Cold War. A hotel lobby, as a spy dressed like a gentleman. Brief interaction with Dietrich, my German Nazi from WWII, but he doesn't recognize her as anything but a business client from Russia.

Part for the afternoon. Cut to the night scene in the hotel dining room, where she's now a lady with a wig of tumbling black curls.

"Have we met?" He asked, "A man does not easily forget seeing eyes like yours."

Sadly I don't have any of their WWII/Cold War stuff saved, but I hope their personalities came through enough in those pieces for you.

If you don't mind reading through my crap writing, I'd love to see anything you feel like doing about Christopher and Noah. I have two versions of these characters/their stories, so I'll introduce you to the one that is a little more coherent at the moment.

Short backstory: Risto and Noah are twins living under an oppressive government that might be the Nazi regime, and might not. I'm not sure yet. Christopher, the younger brother, tends to be irritable and pessamistic, while Noah tends to be laid back and at least appear to believe that everything will be alright in the end. They tend to be branded as Gypsies by the government, but are not part of the Roma. Instead, they are simply travelers.

Very short drabble about the two can be found here. It's not much, but it shows a bit of their dynamics. In this scene, they're probably somewhere in Nazi-occupied Austria, attempting to cross south into Italy when it was still neutral, where they could blend in better than up north.

wooo, this is too tempting. please rsvp me a spot and I will think of who shall come over and romp through your mental playground. Do you have anyone in mind that you'd like to borrow from my brood?

[kurimja.livejournal.com]

Oooh, this sounds like fun! I'd try it out too, but people tend to ignore my journals, so I harass my msn mates for prompts instead XD;
Um, if you're at all interested... could you write a piece with the following prompts?

- Kaelen before he managed to fix his chalice
- Umbrae roaming around while still enslaved (while he's still young)
- Forest or mansion gardens

Er, I can whip together a part of when Kaelen was running wild to give you a better idea of his actions, or you can take creative license and make him as crazy as you want. :D

PRESANTS!

[mamon-lugi.livejournal.com]

How many prompts can I give ya? XD

hnn...how about...Big Bu and Luke. :D Cause I lurv them.
And..the situation..is...Bu has been missing for a few days, but is suddenly delivered (literally) to Luke's place tied up/restrained in a big purple silk bow. 8D *tard*

And if you're up for another one(or rather do this one), Present day Marduk and Umbrae sparring....in the rain. XD
