Prompt me? (Feel free to read just the first and last paragraphs LOL)

[tarotgal]

Hiya. I don't feel much like writing anything. In fact, I haven't written anything in, like 3 days. I even finished a fic and haven't felt like posting it. Boo. There are a few stories I want to write. One is the Sam with loud sneezes he's embarrassed about. The whole damn thing is written in my head and I even started writing it out. But I haven't felt like finishing it. And then there's an Angelina Johnson having lunch with George and Lee that I've been writing in my head over the past few days, but I have no interest in writing it down right now.

In fact, all I've felt like doing for the past week or so is crafts for swap-bot. I'm working on a fairy whimsey jar right now, waiting for paint to dry. I've made, like, 15 ATCs this week, some for series swaps I haven't even signed up for yet! LOL (Last night I made ones for Districts 11 & 12 and one for Castiel).

My head is killing me tonight (I spent the day at the library, then picking out EXACTLY what I want at IKEA, only to find it was either not in stock or wouldn't fit in our van because we hadn't taken the seats out before going. LOL). I did buy some stuff for a swap and I went to the LEGO store and accidentally purchased a pick-a-brick cup and two employees helped me pick out minifigs I didn't have yet (I haven't opened them, but the guy seemed absolutely sure when he found them for me). I may still be missing the bride, but I kind of don't care about her.

I wonder if that says anything about my life? LOL Anyway, yesterday I learned how to use putty to fill up holes in my walls from pictures, etc. I look forward to doing those fixes tomorrow and maybe priming! Squee! I still haven't picked out the colors yet for anything outside the laundry room. But the house is finally starting to feel like mine. And I've moved my stuff into the kitchen and some of the linen closet. And today I set the Verizon hookup appointment to July. I don't think I'll be moved in until then, looks like.

ANYWAY... my head hurts. And I don't feel like writing anything I need to write... so, if you feel like it, post a prompt or something for me? I might not write it, but maybe something will inspire me? I'm feeling burned out. It was probably those bazillion stories I had to write in the span of 4 days before May was over. LOL So, yeah. Post a prompt for me? Pleeeease?

SNEEZY SAMMYYYY
:P

[tarotgal]

heehee! Okay. Two fics later, I'm feeling back on the wagon... off the wagon? Which is the one where I'm writing about sneezy boys? Oh, anyway, I'm going to pick up the start of that other fic and see what happens with it.

[27-jaredjensen.livejournal.com]

Hahaha:) It always sucks to be stuck...I haven't written shit for like, months. At least it feels that way. I'm glad you've found some inspiration!

Well, since you were watching hockey, how about something with hockey? I know our teams are long out but, yeah, hockey. Oh! Or something to do with ice. Ice in a drink or being as cold as an ice cube, something like that. Just throwing things out there.

Also, yea! on IKEA. I love going there but I seem to have the same problem with not thinking ahead and making room for things I buy. That, and I spend too much money whenever I go which, luckily, isn't very often.

[tarotgal]

LOL I go to IKEA a lot and haven't run into this before. (My old apartment was about 90% IKEA furniture). But I'll just keep my eye on it and maybe it'll come back in stock soon. *crossing my fingers*

My sympathies RE; Ikea. It can be useful sometimes, but a royal pain other times.

Um, prompt, yes. I've had this one idea for a Hornblower fic bouncing around in my head for awhile, so maybe you can do something with this? Warning, it's a bit long.

So after much thought, I finally came up with a head-canon to explain why Horatio's cold disappears mid-way through that chapter in "Atropos"; someone in the palace saw he was ill, took pity on him, and gave him the 1800's equivalent of a decongestant, which masked the symptoms for a while. That's just background, though, and my actual prompt is as follows;

After leaving the palace, Horatio decides to take a tour of his ship to ensure she's being fitted out properly. While there, the medicine wears off and the symptoms come back...with a vengeance. Bonus points if he tries to talk through an impending sneeze two or three times, then gives up, locks himself in his cabin, and succumbs to a sneezing fit. Why do I like torturing this man so much?

I hope your creative drive comes back soon. I know how it feels when the writing urge deserts you.

Also, a very belated CONGRATULATIONS on the new house! It sounds like you're really happy with it, and that's all that matters.

[tarotgal]

Aw, that is awesome. I can just see Horatio all itchy to finish up the tour and get to his own, comfy alone space to sneeze in private. That's so him.

I don't know... this seems a lot longer than what I'm in the mood to write. But I'll let the idea simmer. If you write it, be sure to send me a link. It is an AWESOME idea!

[wig-powder.livejournal.com]

I've got a lot of writing on my plate right now, but I'll probably take a crack at it sometime this summer. I'll *definitely* shoot you a link if/when it happens.

[tarotgal]

Oh, and thanks re: the house. I'll be a lot happier once all the major work is done and I can move my things in. But it's nice to have something I've dreamed of forever :-)

I don't know if you've seen X-Men: First Class (if you haven't, you should. It is amazing!). But if you have, I would love an Alex fic or a Sean fic. And it's my birthday, so it would make me really happy to get a fic-present!

Or, if you haven't seen it, I would love Charmed or Once Upon a Time, either Emma or David/Charming.

Thanks!

I bought the movie when it came out on DVD, having not seen it, and actually never watched it. I just put it in and watched it (yay, I liked it. I'm glad I bought it LOL)

I've always really liked Alex, even if they screwed with his character a wee bit here. The Summers' boys are always SO angsty and Alex more-so than Scott, usually. But I'd be happy to take a stab at a quick Alexfic tonight. Might not get it done until tomorrow, but I'll willing to give it a shot and see what falls out.
