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 above mentioned spoiler cut.
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...
+ Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley, Aziraphale removes a queer kid from an abusive situation and Crowley excels at parenting
+ Star Trek (any TV), any or ensemble, a juvenile alien that is Totes Adorbs and also Very Dangerous Indeed
+ Tortall, Keladry of Mindelan + any, Kel is Very Not Good with kids but she's also a really good teacher, once kids are that bit older
We are now using 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 2021 collection. See further notes on this new option here.
