Hmm.

Well, crap. I was thinking of different ways to set up this request / prompty fic I was going to do, but today at work (it got boring,) I thought of a one-shot I want to write first.

I kinda incepted myself with the idea of Arthur and Eames having to spend a night in a haunted house. Like, sexytimes would get interrupted by ghosts and such. IDEK.

After I finish that one (though I haven't actually begun it yet,) then I'd like to do a kind of experiment where I have the premise of a fic*, but I'd ask you all, in a post after every chapter, to challenge me with some weird, cooked out, freaky or funny or random detail you'd like to see added into it. That'd be a real challenge, right? I wonder if I could do it.

What do you think? Could that maybe happen? After the stupid haunted house one I have in my head?





*Something to do with a long train ride, and something to do with dreamshare and scary voodoo stuff. Like I don't know, they have to extract from someone who tries to make zombies or something. IDEK. That sounds crazy even for me.

:D

there are certain things I totally suck at writing
Okay, so, that being said, you'd probably have to exercise a certain amount of self discipline to take on suggestions that may not necessarily appeal to you - not just the ones that do. Is the challenge of having to write them sufficient in the face of having to write them?

Well what I think I'll do is put up a list of things that I can't or won't write. For instance, I can't do AU - it doesn't inspire me. I won't/can't to non-con (too sensitive for that) or anything with kids etc.

OTOH, I hardly need to even say those things because I have a feeling that most of the people willing to play along, will be ones who already pretty much know what I write.

It's true that certain prompts might not appeal to me, but I wonder if I'll be able to turn them around and write them in such a way that will be fun for everyone.

The thing is, I have no idea how I'm going to set it up yet.

MAYBE, I'll ask for a list of prompts before I even start the fic, or maybe after the first chapter? And then check them off as I include them?

That could work?

Don't see why it wouldn't. It's your flist, you just ask them to bear with and feed back until you're sorted. That's what flists do. :D
