Thursday: Another Time, Another Way
Oct. 29th, 2015 12:01 amGooooood morning/afternoon/evening/whenever you're reading this, ladies and germs. I’m your host for this week
writinchica2k, and I call today's theme "Another Time, Another Way". Prompts can be basically anything related to alternate timelines- 'for want of a nail' situations, different historical eras, different character meetings, what have you.
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.
If your prompt or fill contains anything that can be a trigger for the reader, please add a warning for that to give the reader the chance to decide if they want to read or not.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing. 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...
+ Being Erica, Erica Strange, "Do you think I could have saved him if we met sooner?"
+ Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy Summers, the perils of slaying in the goth-riddled '80s
+ Dragon Ball Z, Mirai Trunks, he accidentally goes too far back in time
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 2015 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.

Len just stared skeptically.
"Wait," Barry said, "Are you a future you? Like are you from after next month."
"Yep. And you definitely forgot last time."
"Well, I don't make the same mistake twice," Barry promised.
"You actually do. Very frequently."
"Are you mad at me for something, Len?"
"Just, next time you have the chance to go into the speedforce, don't. I was worried sick."
"Aww, that's sweet," Barry said and leaned in for a kiss. "You're my knight in shining armor, saving me."
"Barry!"
"Fine, fine, I promise I won't go into the speedforce. And I will remember our anniversaries. Any other advice on making future you happy?"
Len paused. "In the future, you try that thing in bed you said you didn't want to try. And you actually really like it."
"Really?"
"No. Worth a shot, though."
Barry laughed. "You're the worst."
"And yet you keep coming back."
Barry kissed him, and this time Len let him.
"I guess in the future I never get enough sense to leave," Barry said, smiling.
"Nope. You sure don't."

"But you don't get it," said the guard, "the Christening really was a week ago. We're still cleaning up from the party. See?"
The witch-fairy glanced behind the guard, into the open palace door. She could see decorations scattered around, and a banner that said "IT'S A GIRL!!!"
"Son of a bitch," said the witch-fairy.
