comment_fic | Friday: Side Characters

Happy October! I'm your host,

templefugate. While today is my last day, don't be too sad about me having to leave. I'll be back to host again later this month, where I will be bringing with me a week's worth of spooky prompts. Today, however, we will be focusing on side characters. You know, all those characters you love but who barely get any screen time. Like a parent cheering on their kid playing Tree #3 in a school play, let's show some love for the characters that have a small role but make a big impact.

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...
+ MCU, M'Baku, his first trip to America
+ Sweet Valley High, Claire Middleton, grief
+ The Lord of the Rings, Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, an old woman in a new world

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.
