No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I neglected to ask this year, but if anyone has a spare set, I'd gratefully take 'em

Every year I ask someone to get me a set, and every year I forget who it was! Maybe Minnow, I think...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh, yeah, I must have promised someone a set, so...good question.

ME!!!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wonder if this could help writing fic.

How much prompt is too much? One of the artista in the reverse bang is doing 5 ch for each of her prompts. She is mad talented and publicly fast since she is doing two prompts, five each.

She's got a great sense of story and her pics are always emotional. So I wonder how writers work with that. Doing a collaboration with her would be amazing. But five is a pretty big prompt.

Would you, as a writer feel backed against a wall?

Because books.

Five does seem like a lot. With that many, she's sort of telling the story for you.

Would you, as a writer feel backed against a wall?

Probably. But it would depend. I did fine with a prompt once that was, like, "Shoelaces, sacrifice, blue". I can deal with that, or with a random quote.

But the prompts that are like, "Jack falls down a hill and breaks his leg and Daniel has to carry him back to the Stargate and they talk about their childhoods"--those I can't do. You gotta let me see the story myself, and I will fit it to the prompt.
