Monday - Cozy Mysteries

[momma-66.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I’m momma_66 and I have a week planned of subgenres of fiction and first up is one of my favorites!

Today's theme is Cozy Mysteries.

"A subgenre of crime fiction in which sex and violence occur off stage, the detective is an amateur sleuth, and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community." - wikipedia

My favorite cozy is The Cat Who series. The series is light and fluffy, with a few twists to keep you entertained. And who doesn't want to read of a man being bossed around by his feline companions.

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling…

~ Any. Any, crime solving felines by night, lazy ass cats by day

~ MCU, Any Female, armed with a ball of yarn and knitting needles


We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2021 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out the just created Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet. For more recent prompts to write, you can also use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community.

While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

Good Omens, Aziraphale & or/Crowley, using their powers to help find a killer at a masquerade (or similar, e.g. rehearsal for a play or dance) in a small town.

I’d love to see them in Asian corporations and/or somewhere in Asia, if you’re feeling inspired.
