Hello! Come on in and join us. :D Since our last theme was full of sunlight -- or, at least, typical daytime activities -- let's give the globe half a spin...
Today's theme is dusk and nighttime. Prompts and fills can relate to things that happen at sunset or during the night. Sleeping, dreaming, settling in and getting comfortable, enjoying the company of others, feeling relief at finally being alone... Then there's the night life, the city lights, the starry sky above, sparks and glows in the dark, shadows that may or may not be worth exploring... Whatever your characters can sense or do that is especially special in the dark of the night.
Feel free to add specifics to your prompts, like whether you'd prefer a gen fill over something shippy, or if you have a squick or trigger you hope to avoid. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are always welcome. ~_^
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 things started... + Guilty Gear, Sol Badguy (+/ Ky Kiske) + Sin Kiske, campfire memories + Batman/DCU (any 'verse), any Gotham resident (+/ any) + a late-night shopkeeper, last customer of the night + author's choice, any (+/ any), they should be asleep, but the view of the stars is much too enchanting to miss
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!
