I am opening another drabble tree. As always, anyone who reads this is welcome to contribute, and I will respond to every drabble posted with one of my own.

( As always, the rules: )

(Feel free to use the newly updated The Almost Totally Random Writing Exercise Generator, and just ignore the first parameter, or assume it to be "drabble (100 words)")

To get you started, here is the drabble using the generator, as chosen by vegawriters.

Title: Cookies and Milk
Fandom: Bones
Pairing: Temperence Brennan, (Seeley Booth, Parker)
Rating: PG (200 Words, a true double drabble 100+100)
Prompt: drabble (100 words) * female character * hot cookies and cold milk, varietypack100 : 059. Food

She didn't know what to say to him when he looked up at her with those wide, bright eyes, as if she could make everything all right. Temperance knew better than anyone that things didn't always turn out right in the end, and things sometimes happened to the people that you loved, no matter how hard you wished it wasn't so. Still, she realized that you couldn't explain things like that to a four year old, even when you couldn't bring yourself to tell an awkward lie. She didn't know for sure that Booth was going to be all right.



When Tempe was little, her mother had a simple answer for bad days, scraped knees, and bullies. Cookies, hot from the oven, and a glass of milk, always made things look better. She wasn't Parker's mother, and Booth's injury was a lot worse than a scraped knee, but she wanted to make him this little boy, who clung to her hand like a lifeline, feel better. She didn't bake, but there was a vending machine down the hall. Two dollars and a quarter later, she held Parker's hand and shared his cookies and milk. Maybe, it would be all right.


The first word of the next drabble would be right.

100quills : 051. Understand HP/DM, (HP/RW friendship)

It's a new month, and some of you have a little extra time due to it being Independence Day in the states, so I am opening another drabble tree. As always, anyone who reads this is welcome to contribute, and I will respond to every drabble posted with one of my own.

Rules:
1. The drabble should be 100 words, but I'm not going to be very picky.
2. Each drabble should start with the last word from the drabble that came before it, but you can start with any drabble posted, not necessarily the last one on the list.
3. The only way the drabbles have to connect is through that single word. Any topic, fandom, pairing, rating is acceptable.
4. It's fine to have multiple responses for a certain drabble. It'll make the thread branch out and look tree-like. Just post yours in response to whatever drabble you are following.
5. If your drabble's rating is higher than PG-13, note it in the subject line, just to be courteous.

Title: Lolita
Fandom: Original
Rating: PG (200 Words)
Prompt: original female character, an illusion of control

I recently had cause to meet up with someone from my past, a lover of my teen-age fancy. He was so much older then, a man, subject to my girlish affections. Our age difference, now, is very little in the scheme of things.

Of course, it was not insurmountable then, either. My wisdom outstripped my age, and sometimes even his. He much disliked the times when I let the artifice drop and turned that knowledge on him. It is a skill I have since perfected, and it still thrills me to turn it on the unwary.

I pinned him before me, with my gaze, a small, secret smile curving at my lips. I painted him the truth with my husky, child-like voice, and teased him with the description of his folly.

He turned the conversation back on me. "You think you know, but that was a long time ago. What makes you so sure you know me so well?"

"Little or nothing, I suppose, but what did Lolita care about a man's opinion, beyond that of her ability to manipulate it?" I raised one eyebrow in silent challenge and let the side of my mouth turn up in a teasing smile.


Smile would now be the first word of the drabble on any topic for whoever chooses to respond to this.

For those of you who are unaware, a drabble tree is a series of drabbles, written by various authors that follows the pattern of the first word of the next drabble is the first word of the previous one. Any author can respond to any drabble, so that there can be various branches to respond to, and it fans out like a tree. Feel free to jump in at any time, with any pairing or fandom, and as usual, I will do my best to respond to every person who posts a drabble, whether it follows my own, or someone elses.

Guidelines

1. Each drabble should start with the last word from the drabble that came before it.
2. The drabble should be 100 words, but I'm not going to be very picky.
3. The only way the drabbles have to connect is through that single word. Any topic, fandom, pairing, rating is acceptable.
4. It's fine to have multiple responses for a certain drabble. It'll make the thread branch out and look tree-like. Just post yours in response to whatever drabble you are following.
5. If your drabble's rating is higher than PG-13, note it in the subject line, just to be courteous.

To get you started, here is the drabble that I owe softly_sweetly for her request:
Harry Potter fandom, Severus/Draco, Prompt - 'New Sensations'

varietypack100: 080. Why?
Draco looked across the room, to where Severus seemed engrossed in the book in his lap. His only distractions were the crackle of the low fire, the occasional crinkle of old paper as Severus turned the pages, and the slow, steady sounds of their breaths. His overwhelming urge to fidget and demand Severus' attention suddenly fled as he realized that his only option was to submit. He would wait until Severus was ready to release him. Draco felt a sudden sense of peace, and relaxed further into his bonds. He finally understood that his only responsibility was his master's pleasure.

Pleasure would now be the first word of the drabble on any topic for whoever chooses to respond to this.

I'm in a funk and trying to be creative while also hoping to be entertained. So, I am hosting a Drabble Tree :)

I'll get this started.


Fandom: House MD (Cameron)
Genre: Gen (100 Words)
Prompt: housefic50 030. Coffee Mug

Cameron dragged her spoon through her overly sweetened coffee, resisting the momentum of the centrifugal force generated. It wasn't what she wanted, but she didn't want to face the lounge in its Valentine's glory of pink balloons and candy hearts, to find something else.

Despite House's constant accusations to the contrary, she wasn't much of a romantic. She just thought actions spoke louder than words. Anybody could buy a spray of flowers that would die in less than a week, or a bag of festively wrapped candies. She wanted more than token gestures.

Sugary wasn't the same thing as sweet.

100quills : Prompt: 070. Harm
100quills : Prompt: 082. Worse
lover100 : 064. Needvarietypack100 : 098. Writer's Choice

General rambling, mostly aimed in the direction of: elmyraemilie, the_minx_17, and softly_sweetly.

So, I'm trying to get ready for Quills for a Cause by setting out some idea of stories I might like to write, ideas to tackle, etc. since it starts in a couple of days, and brainstorming and writing are really different functions in my brain.

1) I think I'm going to write some Hermione/Fred/George stuff. It will be something different to tackle. I haven't written it before, and it's fun to read. Other than p0rn, I have no real story ideas yet. Must think of something less amorphos.

2) I was thinking of the requested Harry/Draco/Severus stuff and I came up with an idea, an actual suggestion of involved plot. The thing is that it could take up the whole month as it is a STORY not a vignette like I normally write. It won't do much for my 100quills totals, but it will stretch my writing muscles in a good way, the way I have been trying to for a long time. I am worried that I will not do it justice, or that I will freeze up in the process.

Also, I don't know if I really want it to be H/D/S, even though that was the initial inspiration. It would work well as a H/S story and be much easier to write, but the inclusion of Draco adds a lot of layers of complications to the plot that make it interesting and harder to write.

I am also worried about it coming across as trite and done before instead of original and engaging, as it could be. It's another aspect of doubting my skill - sub-plots, showing not telling, engaging dialogue rather than narration, all of the things I struggle with to shift from vignettes to novelettes. Especially since I have a thesis and goal, but not all of the details from a to b.... It's like free-falling, and I'm worried about getting stuck, like I have when I've attempted this sort of WIP in the past.

I don't know, yet. *shrugs*

HP QfaC, hpqfacforum is a charitable event that uses the creation of fanfiction and fanart to encourage people to support HIV/AIDS research and prevention. It runs through the month of February and I've signed up to participate, since it is a cause I support and because I am feeling inspired to produce more fanfic.



I just signed up and as such don't have a sponsor. However, I am willing to take requests, provided they aren't too detailed, and they are a pairing I can write. I generally write Harry-slash (preferences for Snape, Lupin, Neville, Draco, Weasleys [but not Ron]), Hermione/Snape, Hermione/Weasleys (including Ginny, but not Ron), or trio!fic.

So, even if you can't sponsor me or another writer, but would like to read something by one of these pairings, drop me a comment. I'm going to try for a fic a day in February, and I've got my 100quills and other claim tables to fill out.

Claim Table for 100quills, 100 fics, Table 4, Harry Potter. There will be a lot of slash, a little het, and some 3-some stories here. Proceed at your own discretion.
