The Big Damn 2012 Writing Project
Dec. 10th, 2011 07:14 pmThe Big Damn 2012 Writing Project
Since I'm the kind of writer who works best when being enabled, I comebegging for prompts bearing gifts. I'm taking requests for next year, and the rules are ridiculously simple:
1. Give me a prompt (character/pairing + summary/song/quote/poem) and a month. Any fandom I'm familiar with is a fair game, but if you prompt something I'm not really comfortable with, I will ask you to reconsider ;).
2. I will write you a fic that is min. 1000 words long and post it according to schedule: one fic per month. I'll also take 6 freelance prompts with no specific deadline, which makes a total number of 18 fics to be posted in 2012.
3. If I decide that your prompt would make the most awesome Vampire Big Bang ever written, I'll shamelessly remove it from my schedule, put there one of the freelance prompts, and give you your fic when Big Bang posting happens.
So, who wants to play?
January: Damon/Katherine
He'll never be able to hurt her like she hurt him. (for
goldy_dollar)
February: Elijah/Elena or Klaus/Elena (or Klaus/Elijah/Elena) - it turns out she's the rope in the Originals' tug of war (for
wheatear)
March: Elena POV D/E + in the most biblical sense, I am beyond repentance from this song (for
ever_neutral)
April: Damon-centric, if it pleases you, milady. With hints of dark Damon/Elena?
APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.
After the torch-light red on sweaty faces
After the frosty silence in the gardens
After the agony in stony places
The shouting and the crying
Prison and place and reverberation
Of thunder of spring over distant mountains
He who was living is now dead
We who were living are now dying
With a little patience. (for
lunatics_word)
May: zajebisty prompt, który Skye zapewne wymyśli 30 kwietnia, a ja dostanę sraczki literackiej i wyprodukuję 5k zamiast 1
June: Dark!Stefan
Well it's a cold, cold world
Where we choke what helps us breath
Oh yeah, we choke what helps us breath
Until we go where no one knows
I hope this world is as forgiving, even after we are living
And so we lie down, lie down, in the blood (...)
Andrew Davie - Lie Down In The Blood (for
aniloratka)
July: Stefan/Damon +
I sit in the back of a bus watching the world grow old
Watching the world go by all by myself
I took a faith full leap and packed up all my things and
All my love and gave it to somebody else
But how do I know if I'll make it through?
How do I know? Where's the proof in you?
And so it goes, this soldier knows
The battle with the heart isn't easily won
but it can be won (for
aerintine)
August: Wesley and Faith
Prompt: "Nightcall" Kavinsky feat. Lovefoxxx, ze ścieżki do Drive
I'm giving you a night call to tell you how I feel
I want to drive you through the night, down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dark, but have no fear
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you boy
But you're still the same
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you boy
But you're still the same (for
le_mru)
September: Damon/Alaric (for
aevenien)
October: Caroline/Tyler
So scared of breaking it that you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters I will never send
Sometimes these cuts are so much deeper then they seem
You'd rather cover up, I'd rather let them be
So let me be, and I'll set you free
I am in misery
There ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back (for
cala_jane)
November: Damon/Elena
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven (for
pamsblau)
December:
Freelance Prompts:
* Caroline/everyone
Beauty untamed
Stupid and wild
Poster boy, you're society's child.
or maybe
Look at me, I'm only seventeen
It hasn't been too long but it's been lonely.
By the way, you said you're here to stay
Let me love you 'til tomorrow
Then it will last a year and a day
Maybe we're here to forget. (for
youcallitwinter)

Date: 2011-12-10 06:39 pm (UTC)But I warn you - I'm absolutely terrible at writing those boys in a shippy way, so I'll probably end up with gen. Is that ok with you?
no subject
Date: 2011-12-10 06:41 pm (UTC)Gen is totally fine. I just need the two of them sharing space and THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH FIC. If they just so happen to, you know, start making out in your story... just let it happen, bro. :D
(this song is on my next Brothers fanmix. I can't stop listening to it. It's so them.)
no subject
Date: 2011-12-10 06:52 pm (UTC)Making out is highly unlikely, but TVD fandom taught me to never say never ;).
You are so right, the Salvatore fics don't happen nearly as often as they should! Your rec request yesterday made me painfully aware of this fact. I've been thinking and thinking, and still I have nothing to offer except for one chaotic meta :(.

no subject
Date: 2011-12-10 07:47 pm (UTC)Multiple Caroline pairings would be good, or even Caroline/her own awesomeness. Any month xD
no subject
Date: 2011-12-10 07:52 pm (UTC)Look one thread below XD.
I love a good Caroline challenge, so I don't complain :D. I don't do multiple pairing fics very often, so it should be more than interesting.

Of thunder of spring over distant mountains

I JUST REALLY WANT DARK!DAMON FOR SOME REASON. (Uh, maybe because first season Damon had the best hair ever?)

Date: 2011-12-15 09:20 pm (UTC)The only month that hasn't been taken is December, so maybe I'll just put yours on the pile that has no deadline?
And, again, just like with the December meme - if I am to write a pre-series, how far back do you want me to go? :)
