Unlucky Wednesday

[ohmanishipit.livejournal.com]

Hey, hopefully everyone is having a lucky Wednesday! I’m ohmanishipit and the theme today is unluck. Prompts can have your characters breaking a mirrors and walking under ladders, or maybe they already have their bad luck. Just have fun cursing all your characters with unluckiness.

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...
+ Any, any, trying to contain your bad luck by knocking on wood everywhere you go
+ Code Lyoko, ensemble, it seemed like they were cursed to have a Xana attack every few days
+ Gravity falls, Stanley Pines, even after getting kicked out, somehow his luck had gotten worse

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 2016 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.
