comment_fic | Free for All Saturday [DW Edition]

Hello there! Technically it's not Saturday anymore here, but it still is pretty much everywhere else, so please enjoy this Free for All! XD;; (Oof, I keep posting later than I intend to lately... Sorry about that.) If you've had any ideas that didn't really work with Tuesday's or Thursday's posts, now's the time to prompt 'em. There are no themes to follow for prompts or fills. Be free, and have fun! ✎

Just a few rules:
1. No more than five prompts in a row.
2. No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
3. Use the character's full name and the fandom's full name for ease in adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
4. No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
5. If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
6. If your story has possible triggers, please warn for them in the subject line!

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

Are today's prompts not catching your eye? No worries, because we have plenty of older prompts that just might do the trick! You can browse through the comm's calendar archive (here on LJ or here on DW) for themed and Free For All posts, or perhaps check out Sunday posts for Lonely Prompt requests. (Or, you can be like me, and try to save interesting prompts as you see 'em... and then end up with multiple text doc files full of [themes + links + prompts] that you can easily look through and search for keywords.) Multiple fills for one prompt are welcome, by the way! Oh, and you are very likely to find some awesome fills to read as well, and wouldn't it be nice to leave a comment on those lovely little writing distractions? ~_^

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 2024 collection.

If you are viewing this post on our Dreamwidth site: please know that fills posted here will not show up as comments on our LiveJournal site, but you are still more than welcome to participate. =)

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so… and spread the word! comment_fic

A friendly reminder about our 2024 posting schedule: Themed posts for new prompts go up on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day for new prompts of any flavor. Sundays are for showing Lonely Prompts some love, whether by requesting for someone to adopt them or by sharing any fills that you've recently completed. As of February, posting will be done on both DW and LJ, with the LJ version of the comm periodically imported to DW.

any, any, an event at the winery

any, any, a rough night's sleep

(Set at any point after RE3 and/or its remake.)

Carlos watched unmoving shadows.

Sometimes, it's hard to turn it off. Sometimes, it's impossible.

He only heard crickets outside. Knew only bats and owls hunted. There wasn't even wind to rattle the window. No rain. Nothing on fire. No reason to stay alert.

No need to keep his breaths silent and his movements careful -- everything controlled. Nothing would hear him or be able to sneak up on him. Everything was secure -- he'd checked.

Then why wasn't he asleep already? He definitely needed sleep. He wanted to sleep. What was wrong?

Carlos could only hope that tomorrow night would be easier.

Oh Carlos I know that feeling of maybe tomorrow all too well. You can feel the insomnia in this. Thank you so much for the story

Yeah, I've had some nights like that myself... (regular insomnia, not zombie outbreak survival trauma >:P)

You're welcome, and thanks for the prompt! ^.^

some days it feels like zombie outbreak survival though

Poor guy :')

any, any, cryptid storytelling

Kings, Jack/David, someone to answer to

Brooklyn 99, Kevin/Jake, with permission from both their partners, Kevin does what he needs to do to keep Jake calm and less talkative (and therefore less annoying to Kevin)
