On Prompts and Fiction

[scribblemyname]

So I've a friend in need of prompts and I collect prompts like candy, even getting a ton of fic written to them besides being chronically behind.

So. Throw in prompts, write to prompts, comment on prompts, whatever pleases you.

1. Canon (fandom or original)


2. Character and/or pairing (optional)


3. Prompt (can be text or image - detailed as you want)
