Five Years!

[quaggy]

So there was an attack on LJ on my 5th year anniversary. Seems a little ominous, don't you think?

Five years ago today, I posted my very first fic. Actually I posted three. (One of the few times I've ever posted multiple times in one day.) At first, this was nothing but a place where I dumped my West Wing fic, but little by little I started branching out into other fandoms (though I wasn't always successful) and experimented with other fani-sh forms of expression. I even started posting about my life off-line (though those posts are usually friend-locked at the very least). LJ is such a big part of my life now, it's hard to imagine what I would do without it. Twitter just isn't the same and you all know how I feel about Facebook.

So how do I celebrate?  Well, it seemed appropriate to go back to how this all began... with fic. I thought about offering DVD commentary or a fanwank Q&A, but I think new fic is the way to go. Lord knows, I'm a horribly slow writer, but I do seem to turn out 100 word drabbles pretty fast.  So...

In honor of the occasion, give me a fandom and a prompt (or two or three), and I'll give you a 100 word drabble in the next few days (or maybe weeks).

I don't mind branching out into a fandom I haven't written for yet, as long as I'm familiar with it. I actually enjoy trying something new. Though it's always nice to have the excuse to write West Wing too. Can't forget your roots!

 

Happy Birthday, LJ of mine! Thank you for five year's worth of random distractions!

Happy LJ Birthday, Quags!

This is an excellent idea. :D

Do you do Hunger Games at all? Katniss/Gale? I'm horrible at prompts, but making out in the woods would be nice. ;-)

Ooh, my five-year is coming up in a couple weeks!!! Thanks for the reminder. Wow...

You don't have to write me nothin, girl! Unless you feel like writing Life or something. Or link me to some Life you like.

Happy Anniversary!:)

This is a wonderful idea. Am I still in time to request demand a drabble? :D

Happy lj-versary :)

I am just going to assume I can still request a drabble (he who dares, wins!) so I'm going to prompt -

Ugly Betty - Betty, Daniel, cookie cutter.

or

Avatar - Iron Maiden (the show I have on in the background just threw that word at me - I think it's a sign!).

And I totally want to hear your thoughts on The Hunger Games when you're done (I just finished) :)

Ohhh, love me some Quags drabbles.

That scene in Gilmore Girls when Luke set like 100 alarm clocks to wake up Loreli always made me laugh. Because when she goes downstairs and he switches her coffee and talks to the babies.. it's so sweet. Can I pretend it wasn't just a dream?

So what about something with the two of them... Perhaps a proposal or Lorelei telling Luke she's pregnant. I always pictured them with a baby.

(Still pissed at ASP for that whole April mess)
