That knitting error and prompt request

[thrihyrne]

After hemming and hawing, I've decided to undo the sleeve of my complicated cardigan and start over. It will be worth it in the long run for the pattern to go in the correct direction, plus my decreases to shape the sleeve were off, so I can get them right for the length that I want. So I'm going to treat myself to episode 7 of Game of Thrones while I undo 2 weeks worth of knitting. :P

I used to write. A LOT. I've been on a bit of a hiatus for, well, almost 6 months now. I'd like to get my toes wet again, so if anyone would like to give me a prompt for a short story, please do. Fandoms for this re-intro into writing are Harry Potter, Tolkien, Slave Breakers, Wraeththu, and even my own original fic with my monks. I really do want to finish that, and I plan to-- just need to re-read it and remember where I was going! Actually, if you want to prompt for a short original fic, that's fine as well. I write anything from G to NC-17 (please specify), slash, and if you would specify characters of interest and/or pairings and some kind of scenario, that would be helpful. Don't know quite when I'll have something to produce, but I'm hoping that a prompt or two (or many!) will get my juices going again. To my delight I recently out of the blue had a review for a Ron/Draco I wrote several years ago; what a joy to discover people are still reading my stories.

For those with a holiday today, I hope that you are enjoying some doubtless much needed downtime. ♥

PROMPT~

Harry Potter (of course).

Ron/Draco. Slashy preferred. ;) You know me. I like it dirty.

Prompt: Asylum. Ron and Draco are both in St. Mungo's for 'psychiatric evaluation.' You can go dark with it if that's what your muse fancies.

Ron, maybe drug addiction? Draco...perhaps suicide attempt?

EDIT: OOH OOH OOH! Or maybe Ron has a sexual addiction. Yeah.

Yeah.





Okay, shutting up now.

Ooooh— that could be cool! I'll definitely put that on the burner. Thanks for the prompt! ♥

How interested are you in the Gondor Steward's family? altariel & I were recently bemoaning the lack of Finduilas Lived! AUs, though that would turn out a lot more than a short story! If you don't mind writing an m/f relationship, I'd find anything with Denethor & Finduilas interesting, perhaps what made Finduilas decide to marry Denethor? (I tend to prefer my Tolkienfic to stay within PG-13 rating.)

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

I love the idea of pursuing what brought Finduilas and Denethor together! I'll need to do some re-reading, but that would be very interesting indeed. Thanks for that! And I can keep it well within PG-13.

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad you find the idea inspiring. Much looking forward to your take on their relationship.

You are watching A Game of Thrones? I am so predictable. I am dying to read a PWP Renly/Loras fic. (I know, GRRM is one of those writers who object in a shrill and hysterical manner to the idea of fanfiction.)

I sympathize with you having to unravel and go back. Not wanting to do that is the reason I have so many literary WIPs sitting around--the need to unravel a bit and re-work before going forward.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

I sure am watching Game of Thrones! My problem is that I don't really know the names of half of the characters, lol. But I could figure out who those two are- the two slashy guys, I assume. And yes, I've heard that GRRM is vocally anti-fanfic. Oh well.

I'm actually not feeling badly at all about taking out the sleeve. In 19 years of knitting and doing my fair share of fudging, altering, and swearing, I've learned that if I'm going to end up spending anywhere from dozens to literally hundreds of hours on something (though I usually don't have projects like that!), it's worth it to undo a major mistake for the sake of longevity of the garment.

Oh, and we need to email this week about our meetup this weekend!! :D

Have a look here: http://hauteslides.com/2011/05/game-of-thrones-infographic-illustrated-guide-to-houses-and-character-relationships/

Someone made a guide to Game of Thrones that is (pretty much) spoiler-free and gets updated from episode to episode.
Pretty nifty.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool!! Thanks so much! :D

[koshweasley.livejournal.com]

Sorry for spam. Looked at the guide, and it looks very interesting though I've never heard of the Game of Thrones.

while I undo 2 weeks worth of knitting.

OMG - I am sorry.

For a Prompt - Theoden / Eomer Perhaps they're talking before they leave for Battle of the Pelennor Fields. They share privately, their uncertainty for the coming days. Eomer confesses feelings for his Uncle and perhaps they share a kiss or such, but they don't let it escalate. Eomer leaves the kings tent with a slight over the shoulder glance, on good terms?

- HUGS -

Thanks for the phone call today, love!! And very interesting prompt- could be a lot of unspoken feelings there as a gap-filler. Thank you for suggesting it!

(((hugs)))
