"I Teach Restriant." "Your Seamstress Must Be An A-Plus Student."

So, yesterday, my film presentation went great, especially considering how little time I had to do in. Now it's on to stressing about the next paper that's due in a week. Hopefully, the internet will be up in my apartment tonight - have I mentioned that it went out yesterday? Which would be really nice. I'd love to be able to do research in bed. (Especially if 'research' is code for... okay, sorry got sidetracked).

Am between classes right now and so, so tired. All I want to do is take a nap, and the sugar from the hot chocolate I had earlier utterly failed to kick in, and there are no bakeries less than five blocks away, and this school has no vending machines.

So, the main reason I'm posting. 

I have a fic flopping around in my head (totally the fault of [personal profile] smillaraaqalthough all she really did was feed the spark that had been lurking for a while) and it needs some structure. So does anyone have any good prompt/challenge coms with just 4-8 prompts in a set? Like [profile] 4purposes, only not.

Hmmm . . . can't think of any with 48, but I know one with 27, if that's any help.

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2007-09-27 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, I mean 'four to eight.' Under 10 is the main idea - I'd like something a little more managable than the two novel length fics I have in process.

*facepalm* Can't believe I missed the hyphen. [livejournal.com profile] 7_virtues and [livejournal.com profile] 7_deadly_sins_ would fit the criteria. That's all I can find at the moment . . . I recall there was a masterlist of all the challenge comms somewhere, but can't find it.

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2007-10-01 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a problem, I've done stuff like that numerous times before.

And I'll check out those comms.

YAY! Glad the presentation went well. :D Eh, paper-shmaper. You'll do fine.

Of course, having steady internet is a huge help.

There must be something going around (more mentally than anything.) I've been freaking exhausted all week. Course, it doesn't help that my routine has been thrown to hell in a handbasket between work all fuckdifed (amid going into work Monday night, store picnic yesterday, and a store meeting tonight....) plus, a change of sleep schedule so I can get up to walk the dog on mornings I have the car...yeah.

Hrmmm....know of no small prompt coms...may dig and see if I can find you anything...

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2007-09-27 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, steady internet would be a huge help.

IF ONLY I HAD SUCH A THING! *is annoyed*

God, your week does sound horrific. Nothing like have an completely topsy-turvey schedual to make to you more tired. And since you didn't have a dog before, you've got a whole new creature to take into account and care for.

Well, if you come across on, hopefully with nicely angsty promps, let me know. It's not a big deal or anything.

[identity profile] pzb.livejournal.com 2007-09-27 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Still no word on where they're going to get off their asses and fix it?

Yeah...it's almost over, thankfully. Today went blessedly fast. Pray tomorrow does too.

Got your card today! Yes, I do like Degas and impressionism, but I have to say, I really do like the other one. XD That absolutely needs to be a fic. XD

I know it's not a big deal, but sometimes it's just nice to have that word or so handed to you to spark what it is you're trying to get out.

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2007-10-01 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No. And who'd believe them if they did? The last information about when it would be up said last Sunday.

God, there should be Hakkai ironing naked fic.

Yeah... I didn't find a short challenge comm, but I did create a Forget-Me-Not playlist with someone awesome songs, and the lyrics might be how I organize it. Also, I'm not writing it linerally, I'm doing what I usually do where I just write the bits that I know, so for the moment it's easy.

However, I came across a com called 30_lemons and I really need you to fly over here and slap me, because I was looking at the prompts and going, 'this would be fun to do for H x Y .... but I've practically already done half of them already, and i want to be poly fandomic... I know, Mal and Inara would be perfect! I need to write them and this prompts are great!' Just... sweet jesus, just kill me now.

[identity profile] pzb.livejournal.com 2007-10-01 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
*sigh* Asshats.

There absolutely should be a Hakkai ironing nekkid fic.

*snort* Hon, if I slapped you for that, you'd have to slap the living hell out of me for all the projects I pile on myself, but at work and home. I'm insane, stupid, and totally stressing half the time to finsih things. (or, in the case of home, I just don't finish things...) So I'll slap you if you slap me.

Speaking of fic... any ideas on how to get the bondage started? Because I wanted to write something with Yaone in handcuffs of shackels, and I'm having trouble.

Something like, she's imprisioned, only she has lock pick and got captured on purpose, and Hakkai's fee and walking around the castle cause they think he's human, and he goes in to talk with her, and they have to pretend to make out because guards are watching and why else would a human be bothering the demon prisoner? How does that sound?

And yes, I'll slap you if you slap me. What's a little physical abuse between sexually frustrated/romantically inclined couples?

[identity profile] pzb.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Hrmm....not sure why anyone who isn't supposed to would be waling around Houtou....Maybe they don't know he's there?

Course, that doesn't help the reason why they would have to make out, does it?

And yes, I'll slap you if you slap me. What's a little physical abuse between sexually frustrated/romantically inclined couples?

LMFAO. You know, some couples get off on that sort of thing.... XD

I was thinking it was a human castle that Yaone entered nontraditionally, and Hakkai and co walked in through the front door.

But fuck it, this is too much more for what should just be angsty bondage fun. So, *cough, cough* if you happened to know who requested H/Y bondage, maybe you could get her to give a setting/set up?

Oh, and I still owe you bubble bath fic, don't I?

You're suprised that couples get out on a bit of violence? After you outlined that post-series battle-sex fic?

Re: So Sue Me, I'm Into The Rough Stuff

Ahh, now, human castle makes much more sense.

Well, I spoke with the person who requested it, and now that she understands the castle thing, it makes perfect sense and she says go for it. :D

Eh, bubble bath when you get to it. :D No rush hon. You know that.

I'm not surprised at all that couples get into violence. (You know a lot about my sex life, but you don't know everything XD) I just found it highly amusing worded the way it was. XD

Well see. I might take a crack at the Jien/Mother request, because it's a little more cohesive in my head. We'll see.

Oh, holding out on me are you? ....And... I have to ask, but should I be concerned in any way, or just jealous?

Re: So Sue Me, I'm Into The Rough Stuff

[identity profile] pzb.livejournal.com 2007-10-03 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Do what you need to hon. Don't force it if it won't come.

Not really holding out...just didn't want to be rubbing in details of any sort. XD And no concerns - it's never anything THAT rough. But remember the hair pulling and the like? Speaking from experience on that one. :D

I was pretty sure that was it. Just had to check. (Your paranoid, over-protective, romantically inclinced boyfriend says hi, by the way.)

*waves* Oh yes, you can let the boyfriend know everything is just fine. I call the shots in that department, so there's nothing to worry about.

Oh PLEASE PLEASE do write that. PLEASE. You know how much I crave good Jien angst! *koff*

I'll do my best.

Because nothing says love, like writing about creepy, abusive, incesful sexual relationships.

Check the post in about fourty minutes. And if you want some DOku angst (which, does it count as Jien angst if it's about his childhood?) maybe you could look at the request a couple of comments below? *tried to look cute and inticing*
