Week of Drabble-a-thons: Day 3 - Schmoop

WEEK OF DRABBLE-A-THONS
DAY 3 – SCHMOOP

Welcome to the Week of Drabble-a-Thons (yes, finally, I remembered and stuff). Today’s theme is schmoop. Below the cut are any prompts I received ahead of time to play with, but you can also leave prompts in comments or write off the cuff (as long as it’s on theme).

Rules/Set up of the game

1. We’re aiming for smaller pieces, so try to keep them no longer than the maximum of one livejournal comment. If it gets longer (because sometimes we are slaves to our muses), just link us to the complete piece. If you’re responding to a spur-of-the-moment prompt, please post your drabble directly beneath the prompt request. If you’re responding to a listed prompt, simply hit reply and post.

2. The subject line of your ficlet/drabble: Prompt Number (if any): Title if you have one (rating) – Fandom & Pairing

3. The game is MULTIFANDOM and open to all genres, pairings, characters, etc. However, if you work from a prompt, try to actually complete that.

4. Your fic response MUST be on the theme of the day.

5. At the end of each day, I'll add a master post of the fic.

6. Play nice and please, please, please pimp this on your friends list. The more people aware of it, the more people who can play!

PREVIOUS DAYS: Day One – First Kisses, Day Two – Clichés, Day Three – Schmoop, Day Four – Jealousy & Possessiveness, Day Five - Hurt & Comfort

NOTE: You can continue to play with the previous days' challenges, just keep them in that post.


--Today's theme is Schmoop and below are the prompts I received ahead of time on this theme.

( The prompts for day two of the drabble-a-thon... )

These are all the prompts I received ahead of time. You can still submit prompts in the comments and/or write off the cuff as long as it’s schmoop. If you need any help with coming up with ideas, the prompts list from schmoopfest is still available at schmoopfest.

Again, the challenge is open to all fandoms, characters, and types of fic.

Tomorrow’s theme is jealousy/possessiveness, so feel free to leave more prompts.

So get to playing! And again, please spread the word!

a non-drabble-a-thon update...fun times, indeed...

I'm attempting to come up with some writing responses for Day 3 of the drabble-a-thon, but currently am quite ecstatic because I think I figured out how to deal with one of the things that bothered me about my apocalyptothon first draft. So I want to fix that up and get it off to beta as soon as possible, while the ideas are still fresh. I was struggling with this one particular element to the story and while I was meditating today it just hit me.

Thank goodness for that as I need time to get it back from beta and I want to post it before I move next week (and ohmygod, I move next week into my own house! Yikes.)

I highly recommend Joel Osteen's weekly podcasts to people, even if you're not Christian. he's everything that religion *should* be, very positive and hopeful, never judgemental or talking about how evil people are. And I don't know if it's just me, but I swear, sometimes, it's like he's talking directly to me. Like his topic will resonate so much and I just walk away from the podcast with a much better perspective on life (and, for me, God).

What do I have to do in order for Annie to leave on All My Children? Just when I think she couldn't annoy me more, she finds new ways to irk me. And I admit, that my great love of Greenlee will always biased me against certain characters, but she's just so irritating. She doesn't have one redeemable trait. How is that even possible?

So I read that Vanessa Marcil is again in talks with GH. And I think that would be awesome, especially if Jagger sticks around because think of the fun that could be had. Or if they pair her up with Jason because they had such potential last time around. And yes, the character of Brenda (like Greenlee) is another one of those characters that I adore beyond reason.

Anything new on One Life to Live worth tuning in? I'm still mad about how they killed off Nash. Nash/Jess and Nash/Tess were the only pairing(s) I enjoyed.

Lots of pimpage!!!

Anyone know where I can find some great Phelps/Lochte icons? I've come across icons of each boy separately, but I'd love a few of them together. Please, help me feed my obsession a bit more.
