I have a bunch of drabbles to post for my 100quills claim, but I like to have at least one slightly longer piece, or at least half a dozen drabbles in a community post. So, this is your opportunity to get a drabble or short fic of your choice written.

The rules are as follows... must be Harry Potter (character, gen) or Harry/?, as my claim is for the Harry as a character. I will write slash, het or gen, and in a limited possibility of threesomes. (If you request a threesome, I reserve the right to write either pairing instead of the threesome, though I will give it a shot.) I will try to write minor characters, or characters I haven't written before, if you don't get to picky about your idea of their characterization. I will do my best to humor just about everyone.

So, give me a character and a (short) prompt in the next few hours, and I will try to write it tonight.

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.

(Feel free to use the 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.

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.

A more convenient way to post all of my drabbles from the drabble tree threads, so that I can link to them, and tag them better. Forgive me if you've seen these, I'll reuse this post as I go.

( Follow me down... )

I used to run a website called 'Impulsive' which was for all slash pairings of Harry Potter (the character, not the pairing. I don't read much het in the fandom, unless it involves Hermione, and almost no femslash, though I don't know why. I like a large range of slash, but mostly just Harry.

I like Harry/Snape best. I get an urge for Harry/Draco from time to time, and I like Harry with the various Weasley brothers (except Ron, except for trio!fic, though I have now written this pairing). I also like Harry/Neville, though I think that's mostly the quality of the writing I have found. (Neville, when done well is quite intriguing - try this Charlie/Neville story. Also there was a Neville FQF a few years ago that produced a memorable HP/NL story that involved virginity and the thorns of a plant that induced the need to shag. It was much better than my lousy description.)

Anyway, in other fandoms, I've found communities dedicated to just one character, and I was wondering if one of this focus existed, or if anyone would be interested in me reestablishing one if there wasn't (meaning Harry/m fic exclusively, with the occasional art piece, if anyone is interested)?

That being said, I've got to finish typing up the last story that I wrote for HP QFAC, and get it up this weekend. I'd really appreciate any recs you guys have for these pairings, any length, style, even your own stories. I am in a mood to bury myself in some reading, and I'll need something to do in between going cross-eyed coding the database for Heliopolis, and doing all of my various uploads tomorrow. Recc me some fic, please.

ETA: Thx to bethbethbeth who pointed me to the Harry Potter Newbie Guide, I found harryslash and harry_slash, the third listed is not a slash community, nor in keeping with its mission statement of Harry-centric, but I'll be checking these two out.

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

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.

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.
