Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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.

Can I have one, shrift?

The artist in question (petite_madame) is probably going to come up with a great narrative with her images. Me, I'm just sticking to one picture per prompt. I don't feel like it's my job to tell the author what to write, just to trigger their imagination. And I don't have the sort of confidence in my work she clearly does.
