Tuesday - What's in a Name? [DW]

Hello, everyone. I’m [personal profile] luvbarryfefe and this is my first time hosting this event. I hope I do the job well!

Today's theme is What’s in a Name? Prompts can have anything to do with - you guessed it - names! Is your character naming their new baby, deciding to change their name, calling their S.O. by a funny nickname, best recognized by their fancy stage name, or using an alias (maybe because they’re on the run or catfishing somebody?!)? The beauty of it all is that you get to decide; those are just some fun options!

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 the fandom's full name
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.
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, looking for the perfect gender-neutral baby name
+ Any, any, telling your partner you’re keeping your last name when you get married
+ Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy +/ any, “What the hell kind of name is Buffy anyway?”

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. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].

While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!

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

(Funny story. My brother's name is Elisha and on paper a lot of people read that as more like Alisha. When he went for college orientation, they had him staying in a room with three girls.)
