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.

Good point, good point. I probably couldn't fit every little thing into it, whether the ideas were awesome or not. Then it'd just be a kitchen-sink-fic. So maybe I'll just ask straight up in the beginning for little scenes, small ones. Things that will fit. Like, "Oh, I'd love it if somehow, I don't now, the smell of orange blossoms was in the fic" instead of, "And then they have sex on a moving tractor in a corn field."

Maybe more like details than plot points?

Yeah I think to start that would be a good idea to be vague. And between chapters think readers could get more specific to the story arc. You'd still have to be a choose carefully. But if your readers know your writing style, it's likely they'll prompt things that will work.
