Prompts Post 2016

[thisbluespirit]

Have a favourite guest character you'd like to see fic about? Have a specific idea for a story involving any minor/guest character(s)? This is the place to leave it! Anyone is welcome to leave prompts, even if you're not planning to take part & please do keep leaving prompts until the ficathon opens for posting (27th Feb 15).

Please note: no one is obliged to claim a prompt to take part, nor is it an exchange - if you leave a prompt the author claiming it may interpret it in any way they choose.

Prompts
Prompts will be struck out as claimed. You may initially claim up to two prompts at one time. Once you complete at least one fic for the fest, you may then claim another if you wish to. I'd like to encourage variety, so only one claim per prompt, please. You may claim your own prompt.

If you would like to reuse or claim a prompt from last year's list of prompts, feel free to do so.

Once you've chosen your prompt(s), head over to the Sign-Ups Post to claim it!

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

I just tried to add a few, and my comment was marked as Spam.

[thisbluespirit]

It's all right - the mod still sees everything! ;-) It's probably because of the link, LJ is always iffy with links in comments.

[scripsi.livejournal.com]

I'm so bad at thinking up prompts. And I'm so predictable...

"Queen Galleia and power balance."

And why, yes, I DO have a story in mind... :D

[thisbluespirit]

Nothing wrong with being predictable! :-)

So many good prompts! I am going to have to write at least one of those, if I can just decide which.

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Craig and Alfie meet Strax, and put Strax's nursemaiding skills to the test.

[thisbluespirit]

Heh, that's a fun one! Added to the list. :-)

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

Salamander meets the Master. Fireworks happen.

(This is one someone else posted last year, and I just saw 'Enemy' a few months ago, so I'm intrigued. :) I'm tempted to claim it, myself, when claims open up!)

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! Added to the list. :-)

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Strax: a situation that calls for grenades

Vastra and Jenny: a Sherlock Holmes mystery, the way it really happened

The Master of the Land of Fiction: imagination

One of Susan's human classmates: sizing up that new girl in class. (Or are people who were never actually on-screen but whose existence can be reasonably inferred too minor even for this ficathon?)

Any Castrovalvans: ordinary life in a place that you don't know shouldn't exist

Rassilon: thoughts in the tomb

Bambera and Ancelyn: Bambera/Ancelyn. Just... Bambera/Ancelyn


Um. That's way more than I meant to do. Sorry. Once I got started, I couldn't seem to stop. :)

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

:-O Ooh, I like that Casatrovalvan one!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I will have to think up others, but off the top of my head:

DI Patricia Menzies, case-work or adventures with someone, or just being sarcastic at any given Doctor and/or companion.

[liadt]

One man/woman/green being and their Kroll.

They said derring-do - Garron and Unstoffe

On campaign - Graff Vynda-K and Sholakh

Later after tea... Prof Rumford.

Drax - down and out in Brixton.

Re: By the power of Kroll!

[thisbluespirit]

LOL, they're great! Also, nobody would know what you've been watching lately. It's not in the least bit obvious. (But a great season to rifle for one-off characters.)

[newmoonstar]

Because I've recently finished watching the Third Doctor's era (and honestly how can you not love all the characters in the Peladon stories?):

King Peladon- regrets

Alpha Centauri- courage

Queen Thalira- rebuilding

and finally, a crack prompt:

Aggedor- Venusian lullabies make him docile, but rock'n'roll makes him DANCE!!

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! (And, lol, Agadoo, Aggedor?)

[john_amend_all]

Happiness Patrol AU where the companion's Ray. (With her more upbeat personality, does she sail through the auditions and end up in a pink wig?)

Astrid Ferrier, her pre- or post- Enemy of the World adventures.

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

I just watched 'Trial of a Time Lord' for the first time, and I've got a few ideas from it. :)

1. Perhaps Dibber isn't quite the idiot Glitz thinks he is.

2. Finding out the hard way (repeatedly) that Glitz is a less than ideal temporary ally for the Master.

3. King Yrcanos: Beneath that brash and barbaric exterior beats a gallant heart.

Does she travel with the Doctor, Rory and Amy for a while, and if so, do they manage to mesh well? And what happens when she goes back to Earth--where her father (her main fear) still lives?

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! I especially like that Courtney one - it could be a great fic. I've added them all to the list now. :-)
