Well, I finally signed up for the primevalathon

[alyse]

At the last minute, as usual ::g:: I bypassed the whole 'think of a reasonable prompt thing' - which is the reason I always sign up at the last minute (well, that and the fact that I prevaricate like a prevaricating thing) - by hitting up the free photo stock sites and picking pretty pictures.

That I can do ::g:: In fact, I'm vaguely wondering if I should follow she_is_to_me's lead and maybe make this a regular prompt thing over on primeval_canon and primeval. I used to do a fic prompt thing once a week over on primeval_canon but no one was interested - I think only one person ever filled the prompts. But perhaps if I make it a monthly or quarterly thing, and lured people in with pretty pictures, it might generate some more interest. I shall ponder some more.

::ponders::

And if anyone on the old flist is thinking of signing up for primevalathon and hasn't done so yet (::eyes you all::) sign ups close today. Because, of course I'd remembered it was the 14th today before it showed up in anomaly_news ::does not look at all shifty::. More information on the exchange here:

livejournal :: dreamwidth :: insanejournal

My plan for today involves a) showering, b) getting dressed and c) finishing the Blue Water High fic. On current form, I may not achieve any of them.

I hate giving prompts. If I'm that interested in seeing a story about something then I'll write it myself (!). Even so I think I err on the long-winded side. I've noticed it is my shorter, vaguer prompts that generally get picked.

I hate giving prompts like I hate staring at a blank page. My mind goes equally blank ::g::

Which is why my prompts tend to be very brief 'three words' or a phrase or something similar. So picture prompts ftw \o/
