H/C Alphabet Challenge to tg

[tarotgal]

Hi all :-) First off, I want to assure the people I haven't finished gifts for yet that they're all started and all on their way. I know I keep saying that, but it's still true. I keep hitting writer's block, which has been slowing things down a little. But slow and steady... I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THEM!

That being said, I feel the need to write little somethings/drabbles. And what I'm asking for from you all is to give me prompts. I want to write one H/C drabble for every letter of the alphabet. I can't promise sneezing in every single one- that's up to the muses- but I'd like it to be a collection of hurt/comfort drabbles.
So... what I'd like you all to do is:
1- Pick a letter
2- Tell me a word that starts with that letter that you want me to write the drabble about
3- Give me a character or pairing you want me to write the drabble about

Only one word per letter, first come, first serve. Give me something challenging, people!

But, um, not too challenging ;-)

Depending on what I think of the results, I might post them elsewhere... but I won't include anyone's names when I do that.

EDIT: You may certainly suggest more than one letter, but please wait a day or two before doing so in order to allow everyone chance to jump in.

ANOTHER EDIT: And thank you all- I'm glad you liked the idea and thought it was fun. I can't take complete credit, though. It's a variation of something I saw a user on pornish_pixies doing :-) She got much stranger pairing requests than I've had so far... but maybe that's because mine's not restricted to one fandom

Oooh, this is an awesome Challenge!

I have so many ideas I can't stand it, but I'll play fair and just pick one for now (unless I'm allowed more, but I'll still wait and let others have a crack at it first.)

That being said, I'm going to jump in and claim the letter F, for fever. I'd like it to be about Legolas (big shocker there!), paired with Gimli if possible. Thanks!!

Gotta pick W

[sirenprincess]

Ohhh, I love this idea. LadyKorona and I have been having fun coming up with a whole alphabet-o-fun. I hope its okay if I make a suggestion.

How about whipping for W. I would like Nagi from Weiss to be the comforted one. I'd be okay with either Schuldich, Omi, or Crawford for the pairing.

Hope that's not too hard a challenge. Feel free to change it around if you want.

PS--I LOVE your Weiss mood indicator.

Re: Gotta pick W

[schtiel.livejournal.com]

*has to sneak in to giggle about imagry of Crawford whipping Nagi.* X3

Re: Gotta pick W

[tarotgal]

I'm glad you and Lady K had fun coming up with a whole alphabet worth! Hey, the idea wasn't originally mine so you're welcome to write an alphabetical drabble series of your own! And I'm very glad you jumped in and made a suggestion! Thanks :-)

I didn't change it *too* much, apart from adding a couple pairings in passing. Hopefully you'll like the result (just posted). I'm not so experienced writing Nagi... and I'm fairly sure this is my first Omi/Nagi... but I hope it's all right.

[tinadp.livejournal.com]

What a great challenge, so hard to pick only one letter though! I'm picking R for rain. And although I really think I should pick something different for a change, I'm not going to. Puppy fic please :)
Can't wait to read these!

[tarotgal]

LOL No worries. I always enjoy writing the puppies, you know that! And wet puppies... mmmmmmmmm. Nice choice!

[silverelf.livejournal.com]

Hmm, this is interesting. :D Very creative! :D

Okay, I'm going to be original and ask for A. Allergy. And the pairing... maybe Angel and Collins? Since it's allergy, I won't have to worry about the AIDS part. D:

You rule kinda. :D

[girlwithtulips.livejournal.com]

Hee! This is such a cute idea! :D

Hmm... 'Denial', if possible. Take it any way you like! And Hornblower/Bush, gen or het ok :)

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

[girlwithtulips.livejournal.com]

Why did I write 'het'? *headdesk* I meant slash, eep. Gen or slash is ok.

There's something seriously wrong when I think slash and type het! lol

[tarotgal]

MY MUSES LOVE YOU FOR CLARIFYING!

Last night before going to bed I was hit by the drabble faerie for this one but I think it works sooooooooooo much better with slash. But you specifically said het. So I was depressed all day today and worried nothing else would hit me. So yay! Now if I can only throw away all the useless brainstorming all day and remember what I was going to write last night... heehee

[girlwithtulips.livejournal.com]

Ack! *l* I'm so sorry for your day of wasted brainstorming but so excited about Bush/Hornblower slash!

Sorry for being an airhead! *l*

[(Anonymous)]

H/C hmm? How about pain for the letter p, and make it Obi/Qui. :)

~A

[a4o.livejournal.com]

What a great idea !

If you're up to it, here's my little challenge :

V : Veritaserum, Snape/Dumbeldore

Muahahahaha !

[lilyfrost.livejournal.com]

How about E for 'exhaustion' (physical and/or emotional) with, another two E's, Elladan and Elrohir? *big blue kitty eyes*

I'd like... M

[kiss-me-caustic.livejournal.com]

M for... Midnight, if I may. And I'd like it to be Cedric/Oliver. Great idea for a challenge, by the way - I look forward to the results.

Vignette

[deerda.livejournal.com]

OMG - rubs hands together...."think Deb think"
okay here goes...
"S" for Sleep and.....Legolas and Aragorn (hey shhh I know what you're thinking :)

[(Anonymous)]

T

Torn

Daniel from SG1(can be gen. or w/ Jack)

Lurve sneezy Daniel :)

tma

[katleaf.livejournal.com]

I'd like to request: Q for quiet with the pairing of Legolas/Elrohir please...

[iff]

I do very much like this idea!

If I could, I'd like to request L for Lonely...Yami no Matsuei, pairing of Tatsumi with either Watari or Tsuzuki.

[tarotgal]

Whoa. Spoooooky! Last week I was flipping through channels and stumbled on an anime that looked so terribly familiar. I blinked and literally shouted "OMG it's Yami no Matsuei!!!" I'd never heard it dubbed before *facepalm* I keep forgetting it's on and missing it, even though I have a video tape ready to tape it. Doh! But I've seen bits and it's refreshing my memory bigtime. And Watari... mmmm, sexy accent! *rubs hands together* I could definitely work with that... But Muraki sounds closer to Bert from Sesame Street. Ugh! Still, it's definitely relit my interest in the series and the nummy boys *G*

Anyway, as I was watching it an hour or two ago, I was thinking how interesting it would be to try a sneezefic with the characters. And now you've given me an excuse to! heehee!

[iff]

That is pretty spooky! I just happened to have been reading the most recent volume, so...yeah. Glad I could give you a reason to work with them! *grin*

The only time I've seen it dubbed was this pop-up video type thing that they did with the first Queen Camellia ep. Some of the things that they came up with were hysterical, and it was worth putting up with Muraki and the Guushoushin brothers' so-very-WRONG voice casting.

They're actually airing it on TV now though? That's impressive.

[tarotgal]

They're actually airing it on TV now though? That's impressive.
And they're not cutting it or toning down the sexual themes, either, which is even more impressive!
Anyway, they're showing it on AZN, a channel I didn't even know about until I stumbled on YNM. It's the channel for Asian America but doesn't seem to have a lot of anime, so I'm just thrilled one of the few is YNM or, rather, Decendents of Darkness. But, yeah, it's not mainstream TV...

That is pretty spooky! I just happened to have been reading the most recent volume, so...yeah. Glad I could give you a reason to work with them! *grin*
I only hope I do them justice! *worries* I've had a picture of Tatsumi up on my comp for a week hoping that will help :-)

It's sad that Dr.M's voice is so unfortunately terrible. I get so pulled in by the uber-sexy seme visuals and then he speaks and I want to throw the TV out the window. Man, the pop-up video type thing sounds amazing, though! LOL :-)

This comment has been brought to you by the letter N

[brigidmn.livejournal.com]

Can I have N for naughty (duh) please? And some yummy Percy and Olly, pretty please?

BTW - your giftfic is about half finished - the muses just want to keep incorporating themes on me. It's going to be sad to finish it. I love/hate it when stories mean that much to me.

Re: This comment has been brought to you by the letter N

[tarotgal]

No worries *hugs* Love your subject line here! LOL!

I actually have a naughty!Percy P/O fic in the works... so I'll have to come up with something different plot-wise for this one. Nothing's hit me yet but it's only a matter of time.

Holy sheep! Scratch that. Lightbulb just suddenly turned on as I was about to hit the 'Post Comment' button! Totally have a plot now. Oohhhh yes. Naughty indeed...

[smokeycat-430.livejournal.com]

Could you write an H for honor? You know how horrible I am at requesting specifics so just pick something that you would like to write about. That'll work, I think.

[tarotgal]

Weeeeelllll... what's stuck in my head for this happens to be a Highlander: the series scene (I'm sort of the keeper of Duncan's honor). Is it okay if I play with that or would you prefer I attempt something in a fandom you're more familiar with?

[smokeycat-430.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll tell you that I don't know a thing about Highlander. I've never seen the movies or show so I won't know what the heck is going on but you can write whatever makes you happy. It is your challenge. I didn't specify anything because I figured you wouldn't want to write anything in one of my fandoms. And I certainly don't want to hold you back if you have an idea you like. ;-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_la_mysterieuse/]

Could I ask for Brothers for B? I've not really got anything specific in mind but maybe Bill and Charlie if you fancied it?

Rosa

[symphonyflute.livejournal.com]

Ooh, can I do one? This looks like fun.

I-Indecision. Charlie/Claire Lost.

[(Anonymous)]

... can I do another one? I've been DYING to see a Lily/James for a while... Can you do U for understanding?
=D
~A

[tinadp.livejournal.com]

Well,I waited.... can I request another? Please, please please :)
I'd like C for chicken soup and i was thinking a Numb3rs fic(Not slash - I'm not ready for that yet!!!!) with a sick Don.
Or, if you don't want to do another Numb3rs fic yet, my other thought was Harry or Ron.

Thanks!

[silverelf.livejournal.com]

I'd like to claim another, if I could.

J - Jetlag. The Wolf and the Elf? *sparkle*

[ladykorana.livejournal.com]

Ok, I'd like to request Y for yearning. Definitely Legolas, paired with Gimli please!

[tarotgal]

I've been wanting to write a specific sea-longing fic for sooo long. And I've had an h/c one in mind that would be perfect for this... but- DOH! It's sick!Gimli.

No worries, though. I'm certain I'll figure something out. Certainly there's more I can do with this word...

PS- I sent your package out today priority. So it should arrive pretty soon.

[ladykorana.livejournal.com]

Honestly, sick Gimli is no problem for an angsty H/C drabble if that's where your muses take you. I'm not picky. Though, of course, I wouldn't dream of turning down sick!Legolas either. *G*

And besides, I've been meaning to submit a sea-longing bunny to the plot bunny generator that would be more for fun with sniffly Legolas...probably something to do with finding out that sea longing screws with elven immune systems or something along those lines. Loads of yumminess potential there!

I'll be on the lookout for the books. I just cleaned out the closet in my old room at my parents' house and I found all my dozens of ST:TNG and DS9 books, as well as my really nice hardback copy of Anne of Green Gables, so it's been an exciting book week for me. :)

Z is for Zealous.

Re: abc challenge

[tarotgal]

Okay... but what fandom/characters?

[deerda.livejournal.com]

Okay I waited - "fidgets" and how about the letter G
for
Galu (elvish for Bless) and how about a Thranduil and a very young/small Legolas

Ooohhh - thanks

[katleaf.livejournal.com]

one more? O for Oblique with a Spike/Willow pairing?

[(Anonymous)]

Don't kill me if this is far too dorky. Just throw chocolate. ;)
tma- again.

X

xebec- a small Mediterranean three masted sailing vessel

Horatio/Archie

I figured- "What the heck- I'm sure that X will be a tough one and sailing can give us a lovely fict. with either sneezy Horiato or Archie or both that would be even lovelier.

Just not exactly certain how the x word will work in- maybe the are fighting in that area- or at port.

K is for...

[kiss-me-caustic.livejournal.com]

Kite - and I'd like Remus/Sirius, please! (Am I the last one then?)

[katleaf.livejournal.com]

Just as a correction - you have me listed as the requester for 'K'... actually it wasn't me. It was kiss_me_caustic. We're both k-names, though so I can see the mistype. ;-)

[tarotgal]

Doh! Yes. Absolutely. I'm just an idiot. Thank you muchly for the correction :-) I was at work during my day of no internet when K was posted and I changed it when I got my internet back without even double-checking. Bad tg! Sorry about that :-)
