That knitting error and prompt request
May. 30th, 2011 11:25 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
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~

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.

Date: 2011-05-30 06:40 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-05-30 07:51 pm (UTC)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

Pretty nifty.

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?
