No, You Are Wrong. You Cannot Have A Pony.

[rionaleonhart]

Today, I rushed from London to Brighton for a seminar that, I discovered upon arrival, had been cancelled.

Mildly put out, I returned to my Brighton abode, where I found a large and intriguing-looking package waiting for me. The details on the back informed me that the sender was a Vayne Aurelius, who, I discovered after a quick Googling, is the protagonist of a game called Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis.

This was perplexing.

I opened the package to find a copy of The Thackery T. Lambshead Pocket Guide to Eccentric & Discredited Diseases, the editors of which, according to the blurb, 'received their medical degrees in a dream', and a rather charming and apologetic note from Mr Aurelius, written on the back of a 'Combat Basics 1' exercise sheet ('What to do if you encounter an extraterrestial:'), in which he explained that someone had wished that he send me the book and expressed his hope that I didn't mind receiving it. Inside the book was an empty envelope, on which was written 'To my dear Wainwright, with affectionate regards, Lady Cloudesley'.

I am deeply, deeply confused, and I have absolutely no idea who is responsible, but thank you so much! (I love the level of detail that's gone into this.)


I'm not participating in National Novel Writing Month this year, but I've decided that I'm going to try to at least write something every day during the month of November, whether it's a snippet or a full fic or part of a work in progress. Yesterday, I wrote a tiny clip of Jane and Cho snogging in the interrogation room; today, I am calling upon you to help me.


Give me a prompt, and I'll write you a ficsnippet. Multiple requests are more than welcome!


Feel free to request from anything you know I know! (Requesting from things you don't know I know is acceptable, but in that case it would probably be an idea to include a request or two from something you know I know as well, so you don't end up with 'BARNEY WAS A PERSON (PROBABLY). HE WAS PLAYED BY NEIL PATRICK HARRIS (I THINK, BUT I THINK EVERYONE'S PLAYED BY NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, SO I CAN'T BE SURE). HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER IS A SITCOM, SO AMUSING THINGS PROBABLY HAPPENED. THE END.') Crossovers and the like are, of course, fine.

(I'd be delighted if you made Mentalist requests, but please bear in mind that I'm only just starting to write these characters, so I'm still trying to get to grips with them. I've seen up to the first-season finale.)

Make as many requests as you'd like (and please don't feel you have to know me well to request a snippet); as I've said, I'm going to be trying to write every day, so any prompts would be gratefully received. Thank you!

I'd like to read about Derren Brown solving a murder. Probably in the 1930s, Poirot-style.

I'd love to hear more about the adventures of Luxord Brown. *__* Perhaps with Pokemon, since the addition of Pokemon makes everything better. I think the Derren half would be confused as to why he was in a video game yet again, and the Luxord half would be wondering why Shadows were suddenly electrical rodents. xD

Prompts, prompts, prompts... I'm not good at giving prompts, so some random ones (not sure how many are feasible).

You could always join me and picaropicara in our bid to write fandom-hopping Axel and Roxas fic!

Final Fantasy 8 - non-AU fic that involves Garden in some way, because it's an amazing creation. Focused on Squall if possible?

Legend of Dragoon - Dart and Lavitz have a night and crazy hijimks ensue.

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Hayner, Pence and Olette trying to reconcile Sora with some sort of memory (dream?) of Roxas.

And yeeeeeah I generally suck at prompts.

[harveytheayeaye.livejournal.com]

Derren Brown, the Winchesters and an amusing hat?

[nomelon.livejournal.com]

Ten meets Richard Hammond and the two of them instantly distrust one another. And there's a unicorn. An evil unicorn. And a race.

[futuresoon.livejournal.com]

Jane meets a Nation, any of them, and tries to figure out what they are. GO.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Derren Brown/TARDIS/Doctor.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

JANE/EVERYONE, PICNIC. :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

If you do not write this I will kill you.

[ladyofshallnot.livejournal.com]

I REQUEST THAT YOU PLAY PERSONA 4 SO THAT I CAN HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT IT.

If you haven't already.

[thebaconfat.livejournal.com]

I would absolutely love anything Fullmetal Alchemist, whether it is Ed and Al being Ed and Al together, or Riza and Winry being badass ladies together, or Greed and his cronies hangin' around bein' jerks together, or Roy/Hughes. Or Roy/Riza. So, er, basically anything? <3

[bubbles-san.livejournal.com]

I would very much like to read some more of that Camp Rock/Supernatural crossover you started aaaaaages ago. (You knew it was coming.)

Also, Jared and Jensen being domestic together.

Also, I'd very much like it if you would Make Things Up re Lucy and Al, just because I like reading about them, regardless of who writes it, and because it Amuses me when you Make Things Up. (The only thing you need to know is that Al is a hologram and Lucy is an excessively cute seven year old and one of the only ones who can see him.)

Failing those, Pokemon meets Silent Hill.

[darkest-alchemy.livejournal.com]

hmm, prompts.
How about, what became of Bela Talbot? (anything except her just dying, I refuse to accept she just died and ended up being tortured in hell forever more)
or, I feel there should be more crossovers (since I've only read one so far) involving non-Neverwhere characters meeting the Angel Islington. Maybe Castiel. Though maybe this is something I should attempt myself.

[th-esaurus.livejournal.com]

Prompt time!

1) Merlin and Arthur and their Pokemon-having shenanigans.
2) The Master and Derren Brown taking afternoon tea together.
3) Troy Bolton is hit by a pick-up truck and wakes up in Manchester, 1973. Gene Hunt doesn't fucking sing.
4) (OBLIGATORY ATTEMPT TO GET YOU TO WRITE SOMETHING JONAS-Y) Joe, Nick and Kevin take a wrong turn on the way to their next venue and end up in Silent Hill. OH NOES???

[dracothelizard.livejournal.com]

Team Top Gear saving the world from a crisis (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/dracothelizard/TGBigBook11.jpg), superhero style! Got to get ficprompts from the Big Book, after all!

[eclective.livejournal.com]

...ahahaha that was me I am so sorry for abusing the poor wish-elemental. XD XD But it's fun. And he canonically kind of likes it.

It all came about because I had two of those books sitting on my shelf. And if you read the book enough you'll come to realise why this is a really terrifying thing to be true, and so I figured I would share the curse wealth and allow one to replicate on someone else's shelf instead. And I figured "who likes getting random, possibly worrying stuff in the mail?" ...I'm RPing Vayne currently, so he was the obvious choice to send it because he's so darn compliant.

...believe it or not, the envelope was already in there from years ago when a friend and I used to write to each other in the personas of historical figures. I left it in because it seemed like an extra little touch of confusion. I am glad this worked out. XD XD

BALTHIER/FRAN/JACK: PIRATING ACROSS TIME

By which I mean, Balthier/Fran/Jack: stealing some sort of artifact from some sort of castle, possibly involving body swap.

I was trying to think of a Silent Hill request and came up with 'James can't find the map,' and was too horrified by the idea to actually request it. So something Silent Hill related.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

Dean Winchester and Richard Hammond fight vampires! Feel free to attempt to work in Deborah Morgan from Dexter, if you want. She's a lot like Dean except she's a cop and she swears more.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

The Mentalist - zombie apocalypse!

[dots.livejournal.com]

Squall and Rinoa in FFXII land. Possibly running into Balthier. Possibly having a contract to work for Ashe.

[justspaz.livejournal.com]

The Mentalist. What do Lisbon do with the pony Jane got her for her birthday?

I am really curious as to where a CBI agent puts a mini-pony.

[picaropicara.livejournal.com]

Demyx and Sora. JUST BEING DEMYX-Y AND SORA-Y

[tamsin-m.livejournal.com]

Good news: Sam has got back to the present.
Bad news: Gene has come with him.

The Incredible Shrinking Jeremy Clarkson

Unhelpful Dragon versus the Stig. (Or any Top Gear/Merlin crossover, come to think of it.)

[serriadh.livejournal.com]

This is completely OT but I don't have your email address and wanted to share:

"few things disturb me more about modern TV than people being humiliated and misled for our entertainment"

Guess who said that (pretend you don't know already). HOW FAR IN DENIAL IS HE. 'Humiliated' like being made to kill an ickle kitten? Misled like believing someone can predict the lottery? Ahahahahaaaa.

[emmarrrrr.livejournal.com]

I WOULD LIKE SOME JACK/BALTHIER/FRAN.

and maybe some jane/everyone ever, but if you have to pick, some jane&derren brown&luxord, because obvs jane is the real person.
