I'm struggling like hell with my story this year. I did last year too, and, hell the year before that. This is a trend that sucks, and can see itself out the same way it came in.

In other news, I'm mad at SHIELD (which is part of my problem with my NaNo, actually), and am prepared to fall in love with The Witches of East End based on the pilot alone.

So far this season The Voice is the best TV I'm watching, what is my life.

I don't even watch television.

I'm worried that I've lost my mojo. Such as it was.

I'm doing NaNo in two weeks and I haven't the least clue what I'm writing. I asked for prompts two weeks ago and my brain just freezes up whenever I go to write one.

WTF is the matter with me?

MOJO WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?!

(I apparently have not lost the ability to be melodramatic.)

GRRR.

Okay, anyway, right now I have two major contenders for my NaNo novel.

Option #1 is an idea I first came up with in 2010, I think. To wit: Harry Potter Post Epilogue (Next Gen) story. James has cast a spell that prohibits Lily from dating until after Albus does (ala 10 Things I Hate About You/Taming of the Shrew). James thinks he's terribly clever because he knows Albus is too shy to date. Lily actually IS very clever, and knows that Albus isn't just shy -- he is also in love with his best friend Scorpius. I initially thought that this story would be from Albus' POV (as is traditional in the other versions, where Albus = Kate)... but this is totally Lily's story.

OBSTACLES: I need the boy that Lily wants to date. He needs to be an OC, and worthy of our girl. Also, I'm in the middle of a different Lily-centric story, and I want to not cross my streams (neither of these are really obstacles. I'm such a whiner).

Option #2: Avengers fandom. I talked about this a little bit when I wrote my Steve Rogers character study. Steve/Bucky. Steve and Bucky never got together before the war -- there was some interest from both parties, but neither of them realized that the other one would be open to the idea, so unrequited UST of a fairly sweet nature. Then Bucky ships out, and gets captured and Steve changes before they find each other again. In the months that they are raiding together as Howling Commandoes they very nearly have a Moment, but end up having a fight instead. Then Bucky dies. Then Steve dies. And that's really where my story would start. (The story would be mostly in the "now" of story time, modern day after the Winter Soldier is found. The rest is told as flashbacks and memories.)

So, tell me Oh Wise Flist -- which should I write? Please to cast your votes in the comments (preferably with a word or two saying why you'd suggest one over the other). Please bear in mind that I have to date written only about 1500 words of Avengers fic. I've done 4 NaNoWriMos worth of Harry Potter fic (plus some). One could argue that fact in favor of either option above, depending on which way it was spun.

I'm feeling itchy to start writing again, but nothing sounds like what I want to write. It's like I have literary constipation.

(Is that too much? That was too much, wasn't it?)

Anyway!

I'm asking for drabble prompts! Drop me a prompt in the comments and I will do my best to write you something that we will be somewhere between 100 and... more than 100 words.

I'll accept Harry Potter and Avengers fandoms for sure. You're welcome to prompt for another fandom, but I make no promises as to the results.

[Error: unknown template qotd]Okay... I tried to read it when [livejournal.com profile] the_disco_fairy  was 12, and I never quite managed to finish it.  I may have gotten bored and wandered off actually.

Anyway, I'm taking the aforementioned [livejournal.com profile] the_disco_fairy to see it on Sunday.  I'm in it for the LOLz ... and okay, maybe a little bit for RPattz.  (I Support Cedric Diggory!)

[Error: unknown template qotd] Hmm... well, on the one hand you've got sex, blood, The Toadies' Possum Kingdom*, Jean-Claude and Angel and Spike and did I mention Sex?  Oh yeah, vampires are sexy, sure enough.  Also undead,  And traditionally soulless, which in certain situations can be a bit of a turn-off.

Then on the other hand, paw, whatever, you've got predator, and hunter, Hey, also sexy.  You've got Oz, and Remus Lupin and Jason.  

After due consideration, my answer is "Yes, please."


*If this song isn't about vampires I'll eat my hat.

[Error: unknown template qotd]o.O

That is SUCH a weird question.  

I want to give it an equally strange answer and say say something like, "cheese."
