brumeier, and this week we’re going to be filling decade-specific themes, using 100 words or any multiple of 100. Today’s theme is the 1940s. Your prompts and fills can be anything and everything related to life in the 40s, including decade-specific songs, events, and movie quotes! Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ Stargate Multiverse, Any, “Look I probably should have told you this before but you see... well... insanity runs in my family... It practically gallops.” (Arsenic & Old Lace, 1944)
+ MI5|Spooks, Any, a serial radio show
+ Any, Any, meeting on the eve of the WWII
+ Marvel Cinematic Universe, Any,
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
(Billie Holiday)
We use AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2016 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 1 (not very current), Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 2, or the Calendar Archives, or for more recent prompts, you can use LJ's advanced search options to find prompts to request and/or fill.
While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheets and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.
