shapinglightI have a couple of days off, so I've been trying to do some writing. Not much luck so far, I'm afraid. First, I spent five minutes staring at a blank document, but inspiration failed to strike so I had a look through my documents folder. Came across a drabble I'd tried to write which still looked promising, but I can't make it work. Then I found what I'd written of a Darla historical fic back in January, wrote another twenty words or so and gave up. Apparently, I'm not in the mood.
Prompts, anyone? I can't even think of anything porny.
That said, I think the next story in my Spike/Giles retelling season 7 series may be ready to post. I just need to read it through one more time and make sure the bit of tinkering I did this morning really works. If it does, fine, if not, I'll have to tinker again. Either way, I'll post it tomorrow. And then the scary bit starts because I have to work out what happens next.
Oh fic writing brain, why won't you work?
But prompts would be good. Can't promise to write them, but I don't seem to have any ideas of my own.
ETA: re: prompts, at Writerconuk, as a result of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brutti_ma_buoni's prompts talk, I realised that the sort of prompts that work best for me are the 'what if' sort. I'm not so good with single word-type prompts.

Date: 2011-08-25 01:03 pm (UTC)The rules are that you face your opponent down across a table, each of you with a cup of hot, milky, tea in front of you, dunk your regulation rich cream tea biscuit into the tea up to a minimum of 3/4 of the biscuit length for a count of five seconds. Then you pull your biscuit out and the last person to eat the biscuit without having it splosh all over them is the winner. Managing to eat the biscuit is called a 'Nom'.
You must eat the biscuit for it to be counted as a Nom; even if your opponent's cookie crumbles before yours, if you fail to eat yours whole neither of you Nom and there is no winner.
Very silly, much fun to be had, and really difficult if you get a fit of the giggles half-way through :-D
