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-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) :)

Since you always give me some of the best prompts ever, you can prompt me anytime. You know I'm going to be using both these prompts, right? :-)

So, if I'm doing Avatar for you, that means it can't be Katara/Zuko, right? (Yes, I already know the answer to that. I was just checking.)

Yay! :)

Hey, if the prompt leads you down the Katara/Zuko road, I don't mind. It's not the pairing that grabbed me when I watched (which still surprises me!) but I can appreciate K/Z when it's written well - so don't censor yourself on my account :)

Yeay! Though, with a prompt like "iron maiden", it's going to have to be about Toph! :-)
