Moderator post: give us your flashwork prompt suggestions!

[fiercelydreamed]

People seemed to like the idea of a monthly flashwork challenge post, so that's what we're going to start with. Based on suggestions we got, here's our basic plan of how to run the challenge (which we'll be testing out this month):

- Put up a post for prompt suggestions
- A few days later, hold a vote for the theme by poll*
- Announce the challenge theme, kicking off a three-week period for posting challenge responses
- Rinse, repeat**

So, the comment field is ready and waiting: let the prompt suggestions commence!


* Thanks again, kind people who bought us paid time!
** Adjusting formula as needed.

Zombie apocalypse.

Someone had to say it.

[landshark]

Well now I don't have to make a false identity and do it myself.

Someone had to say it. Damn Zombies!

Wow, zombie apocalypse is a tough one to compete with, so I'll go the other direction: grocery shopping. It may be boring in some fandoms, but I bet even in fandoms where grocery shopping is really grocery shopping and not code for 'getting supplies for a heist' or 'going offworld' I bet it could be fun and sweet and interesting.

I say DIY/home improvement, in honor of my BFF constantly inviting me over--and then making me build tons of crazy Ikea furniture against my will.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Dreams.

Road trip.

Weather: don't let bad weather get you down! It's possible our northern hemisphere members could do with a climate challenge right now.

Dancing: tango, ballroom, hoedown, dancing around a subject, dancing on the ceiling, balls, ballets, if I can't dance I won't be part of your revolution.

Assumptions, made either by the queer character(s) about each other or by those around them.

The Pants Game

[shewhostaples]

What's the Pants Game?

[were_lemur]

You take a movie (usually Star Wars, in my experience) and quote it, but substitute the word "pants" for one of the words. Which results in:

"Judge me by my pants, do you?"

"You have pantsed me for the last time." (Said in the threatening Vader voice.)

"These are not the pants you're looking for. Move along."

Or you can do Lord of the Rings:

"I will take the pants to Mordor, though I do not know the way."

Just a random bit of fannish silliness, thrown in because I was feeling random and silly.
