Ficlet O'Clock: Bring ye commentfic requests!

[scribblemyname]

A meme I did once a long time ago from the incomparable xenokattz:

Give me
a) a fandom/original world
b) a character/pairing

Then add any (or all) of the following
1) an image
2) a quote (but not in the same fandom)
3) Your battle cry
4) a recipe

First 10 prompts will get a strict drabble commentfic; that is, a 100 words very brief fic. No promises after 10 although I'll do my bestest.

I admit, I'm a bit worried about what she's about to do. Now that I understand her ability a bit more, I'm also concerned on the impact that would have on her relationships with others, Pieter in particular, but not just him, either.

Well, unlike Rogue, Ashen doesn't have any issues with her ability and she has control over it. This piece addresses that she didn't realize she had never tested whether she transferred life while sleeping. Fortunately, she doesn't.

That's good. It could have been horrible for her if she did.

And I totally considered doing that to her, but... Commentfic. That would've opened up a monster of a story.

Hmm.

I almost want to say that you should have let that monster story out.

I've got too many as it is! I wanted to write ficlets, finished ficlets, and I'm grateful for them.

Well, as much as I like having stories there to read quickly, I'm a novel writer/reader, so I'm all for getting longer pieces to read. I like to encourage longer stories so I have more to read.

[scribblemyname]

Fair enough. I just have enough sprawling WIP and finished drafts that aren't finished stories to every once in a while demand shorter fic from the muse. 365 stories in 365 days kinda behooves me.

Yeah, you need the shorter ones to get the challenge done. I hope the picture prompts have been helpful. You did seem to get quite a lot done this weekend.

[scribblemyname]

They were awesome. Thank you!

You're welcome. :)
