no excuses writing meme, askbox version
(Nicked from iambickilometer):
drop one of these bad boys in my askbox and i will post, without editing
- FIRST — the first two sentences of my current project
- LAST — the most recently written two sentences of my current project
- NEXT — the next line. meaning i will finish the sentence I’m on and write a new one, which you’ll get.
- [insert prompt here] — you post a prompt, and i’ll write three sentences based on that prompt, set in the same time/setting as my current project
- THE END — i’ll make up an ending, or post the ending if i’ve written it
- BEFORE THE BEGINNING — three sentences (or more) about something that happened before the plot of my current project
- POV — something that’s already happened, retold from another character’s perspective
- A – Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.
- B – A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.
- C – A ship you have never liked and probably never will.
- D – A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.
- E – Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?
- F – What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?
- G – Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?
- H – What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?
- I – Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?
- J – Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)
- K – What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?
- L – Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)
- M – Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.
- N – Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).
- O – Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
- P – Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).
- Q – A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.
- R – Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?
- S – Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)
- T – Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
- U – Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
- V – Which character do you relate to most?
- W – A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.
- X – A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.
- Y – What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?
- Z – Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)
