Third annual drabble ficathon?

[rosathome.livejournal.com]

Would anyone else like to have a go at this? Let's stick with the 'it's OK for people to write fic based on several prompts or none at all, and for several people to write to the same prompt' policy of the last two rounds.

Leave prompts in the comments to this post and then in a week or two I'll put up a post for drabbles/links to drabbles. ETA: Just a reminder that everyone is welcome to submit prompts to this post, whether or not you plan to write fic.

Previous rounds are here and here if you'd like a little inspiration.

I'll play. :)

[rosathome.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

[darth-tigger.livejournal.com]

I'll play, though I can't promise anything amazing - my entry last time was my first and only foray into fan-fic!

[rosathome.livejournal.com]

Great - we just need some prompts now!

[legionseagle.livejournal.com]

Count me in

[legionseagle.livejournal.com]

Prompt number one:

The Doctor takes Ann travelling in time. She's given a major historical mess to sort out, so history goes the way it always should.

[gair.livejournal.com]

I'll have a go, but I can't guarantee anything (term starts on Monday and I may literally not have any spare time in October).

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I'll have a go! By drabble, do you mean ficlet or 100 words?

[rosathome.livejournal.com]

Whichever you prefer. Mine invariably end up being longer.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Ah, a ficlet then. :-)

Prompts:

Peter's first sea command.
Edwin and the Dodds after the events of RMF.
Peter suddenly and unexpectedly being reminded of the events of The Marlows and the Traitor.
Patrick's first day at his new school after RAH.
Ann and Draco's first child (yes, ankaret, I'm looking at you).

I can't promise to play this time due to Events At Work, but, if it hasn't been done before*, my first prompt is:

The exchange between Giles and Captain Marlow about the Surfrider incident.

*And if it has, would someone mind pointing me at it?

[lizarfau.livejournal.com]

Prompts:

Why Ginty goes to Ireland (it says somewhere in the Anne Heazlehurst book that that was what AF had in mind with her) and her thoughts about going

The Marlows' "cousin who practised her pretty wiles on the unsuspecting grown-ups" either a) is sent to Kingscote or b) turns up to spend the holidays at Trennels

Anthony Merrick proves he really is an MP and gets involved in a sleazy sex scandal ...

[lizarfau.livejournal.com]

and indeed, on reflection, one could combine either of the first two scenarios with scenario three ... :-)

[nickwhit.livejournal.com]

And whether Ginty forgave her family for forgetting her birthday...

Prompts

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

What Lois did after she left school, and how successful (or not) she was at it.

Giles finally comes out when home on leave and admits he's gay.

Nicola outgrows her interest in the navy and finds something she can excel in.

Rowan gets fed up with being a caretaker for Giles and leaves the farm (and maybe goes off round the world with Nicola).

Ann rebels against always being the helper.

Redmond gets her comeuppance.

Hurrah! I have some prompts too:

What Mrs Marlow REALLY does all day (I'm thinking Belle du Jour, but maybe we shouldn't go there!)

Some kind of comeuppance for Tim, because I am mean - perhaps Laurie dumps her the minute they leave school, or she gets squashed by the failure of her first professional production.

Pomona Todd meets Neville Longbottom.

A prince/millionaire/film star falls in love with Ann and her family are astounded.

Ofsted inspects Kingscote.

Nicola, or one of the others, encounters Edward's distraught mother as she recovers and realises what they've done.

But any will be nice!

Ooh, good ones! I'd already thought of something rather like one of yours combined with one of mine. [is evil] I daresay we can mix and match.

I dearly hope it's the gay Giles one - I love that idea.

Sorry, was me above, not signed in.

Re: Prompts

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

One of those prompts is sparking off something for me! I'll try to get it done.

Re: Prompts

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

IT IS! I shouldn't really say. [looks demure]

Re: Prompts

Whee!!!
(possibly slightly over-excited by that)

I think Mrs. Marlow is a secret writer, and suddenly becomes a best-seller in the mode of Angela Thirkell.

[serriadh.livejournal.com]

It's probably too late to prompt, and I'm not sure I'm up to actually writing Marlowfic, but I would adore anything at all with plenty of Rowan in it. Perhaps Rowan meeting up with Janice Scott after school, or her getting fed up with the farm and snapping at someone. Anything at all, though, would be wonderful.
