sherlockian_syn and I hope you've had fun with my themes this week. For my final fright show, I present to you the spooky and grotesque zombie. Is it the zombie apocalypse? If so, how did it come about? Ancient curse? Science experiment gone wrong? Or are the dead just rising from their graves with no real explanation? In any case, zombies should be featured in those prompts today. Don't get bitten!
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 spoiler cut.
If there are possible triggers in your story, 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
Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Game of Thrones, Jon Snow (+ any), sailing away from the battle at Hardhome and reality truly sets in
+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers ensemble, the Avengers Tower is decked out for the zombie apocalypse
+ Stargate Atlantis, ensemble, Dawn of the Dead AU
We use 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 2018 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 1 (not very current), Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 2, or the Calendar Archives, or for more recent prompts, you can use LJ's advanced search options to find prompts to request and/or fill.
While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheets and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

Date: 2018-07-27 04:30 pm (UTC)“What, you don’t want me to kiss you?” Jupiter pretends to be hurt.
“No!” Trixie glares at him. “Not with that disgusting make-up on!”
Jupe admires his reflection in the mirror. Stage make-up has been one of his multitudinous hobbies over the years, and he’s done a superlative job today if he does say so himself. This will be the first time he’s ever tried to perform an athletic endeavor so rnhanced, but it’s for a good cause.
His girlfriend gives him a less-than-affectionate look. “I can’t believe you’re going out in public like that.”
“It’s a simple 2-K run,” he replies equitably, tilting his head to look at the peeling skin effect with ‘muscles’ showing beneath it. “ I do that a couple times a week anyway.”
Since his high school days on the wrestling team, Jupiter has made a practice of running, if not every single day, at least five times a week. It keeps him in shape--the fact that Aunt Mathilda has started cooking meals with reduced fat and sodium to help Uncle Titus’s cholesterol doesn’t hurt. California culture still considers him stocky, but nobody is going to tag him with his childhood nickname of Baby Fatso, either.
“You look so…icky.”
“I told you,” he says, pulling on his sun visor. “It’s a Zombie Run to benefit the Early Learning Center.”
“I know,” Trixie answers, keeping her distance as if he’ll bite. “It’s just…zombies leave me cold.”

Re: Fill -- Zombie...Romance? (triple-drabble)
Date: 2018-07-28 11:25 pm (UTC)I went to a presentation at a Con a couple years back called "Zombie Zeitgeist", and the presenter suggested that the reason zombies/walking dead are so popular at the moment that that people feel overwhelmed by their lives--demanding jobs, the rush of technology, being treated as anonymous account number by the people they deal with, etc. It certainly sounded plausible to me!
