another round of the ficlet project
You may have noticed that I haven't been writing fanfic. This is bad. So in an attempt to pull myself out of this long slump, I'm starting another round of the ficlet project.
How It Works
The first commenter on this post, on DW or LJ, gets to request a ficlet by naming a fandom from the list below, a character or pairing, and a brief prompt (perhaps a word or phrase, perhaps a situation or time period, even a structure or writing style--I just ask that you don't give me a highly specific plot or a prompt that's too detailed for a 100-word drabble). I'll write a short piece (100-1000 words) and post it in a day or two. Then the first commenter on that post gets to request the next ficlet. (You do NOT have to make a substantive comment on the posted ficlet in order to request, so don't feel obliged if you don't know or like the fandom, the pairing, or whatever.)
Anyone can request; this isn't limited to people whose journals I read. The only rule about requesting is that I'd prefer not to write two ficlets for the same person in the same round. So once I've written something for you in this round, please hold back to give others a chance.
I'd love to get a variety of fandoms and prompt types, but there are a few things I don't write: sexually explicit m/f and f/f, rape, pairings where one or both partners are under 14, heavy kink or BDSM (e.g. anything involving special equipment, serious pain, danger, unusual body fluids).
Otherwise, feel free to be creative in your request. If you ask for something I can't deliver, I'll just ask for a different prompt.
Below the cut are the fandoms I'm willing and able to write.
TV
Movies
Books
Other

Below the cut are the fandoms I'm willing and able to write.

The Doug Anthony All Stars (both RPF and fictional-world [e.g. DAAS Kapital] prompts are fine)

Various gay movies (e.g. Maurice, My Beautiful Laundrette, The Talented Mr. Ripley, etc. If it's got gay men in it, chances are good that I've seen it and could try to write it.)
Other--feel free to ask, and if I don't know it, I'll just ask you to pick a different fandom.

So, somebody make a request!
