December Posting Meme
Wow, it's been awhile, yeah? (PS, I did post an xover US Election Day rant. You can find it on AO3 if an xover between Captains Crane and Rogers interests you. Steve and Ichabod go out for pho).
Anyway, this has been going around and gosh I used to do this sort of thing all the time and it led to GREAT prompts and ideas and things, so maybe it will kickstart me out of current state.
Pick a date in December and give me a topic, and I'll ramble on it for a bit. It can be anything from fandom-related (specific characters, actors, storylines, episodes, etc.) to life-related to pizza preferences to what in RL has been sucking out my lifeblood and all energy since January. Fic is a definite possibility too.
I'm stalling out a bit on Yuletide -- and it's entirely possible that everything could really, really blow up on or about Nov 27. heh. But, in the meantime, I'd love to get some things going and would love to return the favor!
(By the way, once Yuletide is done, how about 3 sentence ficathon in Febuary or March?)
Dec 1: broadlybrazen please talk to me about baked goods! the good, the bad, the ugly. which kind is the most fun to make? which kind is objectively THE BEST? which rules them all & in the darkness binds them? A response here,
Dec 2: xahra99 a Temeraire ramble -- Rank the dragons in Temeraire with the dragons in LOTR and a series of your choice (eg McCaffrey series, How to Train Your Dragon, The Natural history of dragons, etc etc)Or, you know, just write something about dragons

Dec 5: yalumesse Can you describe Morgan, please? (You've made physical descriptions of her here and there in the stories but I have real trouble picturing her.) Also, if that's too boring, how about: When did you first know Morgan was going to be such a (lovely, endearing, heartbreaking, fun) important character?
