December Gift Exchange

[bookblather]

It's the last month of the year! Time to take stock of this year (disaster), of your hopes for next year (less of a disaster), and exchange presents with your fellow RainbowFic members!

The rules are these:

Post a comment to ask for presents. Your fellow members can then leave comments giving you prompts. Feel free to request specific kinds of prompts- images, songs, quotes, whatever you prefer to write to, maybe even a paint-by-numbers. Each can be used as a novelty beads. In addition, if you use one of these prompts during the month of December 2020, you'll receive a graffiti credit as well as an extra novelty bead should you so desire.

Go forth! Celebrate! 2020 is nearly over!

Along the lines of what you asked me earlier, what kinds of colors are you interested in/emphatically not interested in? And how many Edward/Julia prompts are you okay with because uh. I'm a mite obsessed.

Some quotes and songs for you!

1. How You Get the Girl, Taylor Swift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjwTwvtwFlE

2. "...to every life there eventually came a moment when one had to accept the fact that the shape, the pattern, the direction of the future was entirely out of one's hands, to be decided unalterably by chance, by fate or by God. There was nothing to do but accept, and from this to proceed, doing the very best that could be done.” - Dorothy Gilman

3. First Person, Jenny Owen Youngs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSOiv2DpkD0

4. “I am in the process of nailing Mr. Humphrey Griffin to the wall so thoroughly that future generations will mistake him for a tapestry." - KJ Charles

5. You're Gonna Go Far, Kid, The Offspring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weqK155M_4o

6. “Change often starts with the smallest of whispers. Like-minded people building it up to a roar.” - TJ Klune

Thank you! ♥

As long as it's not the colours I've done/in progress (Acanthus, Cloudy Grey, Ecru & Snow White), that's great! Like you, I think the shorter prompts seem more natural for this, but OTOH, unexpected combinations can spark all sorts off, so basically, whatever you think will work.

And I am definitely okay with Edward/Julia prompts! XD There should probably be some prompts going spare for other people, though. Heh.

Excellent. *makes plans*

I'll try to keep them from taking over the PBN. XD

HEY UH SORRY THIS IS SUPER LATE

Twilight

1. Embody (Is it really a lie if you make it true?)
2. Ecstasy (Finally free.)
3. Spume (Elizabeth watches the waves.)
4. Ode (Jack writes.)
5. Petrichor (It rained on the day of the funeral/wedding (pick one).)
6. Piscine (Feeding the fish.)
7. Evenfall ("The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life-time.")
8. Absinthe (Look, sometimes you gotta get drunk.)
9. Cluster (Firing squads.)
10. Lissome (Jill Edgington. I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT ELISABETH SLADEN OK.)
11. Beguile (The Crime AU: how Edward and Julia get together.)
12. Firedog (Sitting by the fire on a snowy evening.)
13. Particolor (Emily Iveson is made up of so many different lives.)
14. Sine qua non (Edward and Julia.)

You should know how hard I had to fight from making a prompt that said "It's Jack and Bill, not Jack and Jill."

Yay, thank you! ♥

I'm glad you liked yours, too.

Also I am laughing because a) I was going WHAT DOES ELISABETH SLADEN HAVE TO DO WITH THIS? for quite a few moments before I remembered my own tragically wasted casting and b) there is no way you could know this, but there is only one person in my entire canon - including Edward and Julia - who would actually always approve of their weird marriage, and that person is Hanne Graves.

But! I have an idea. XD

[bookblather]

LOLLLL I'M SO GOOD AT THIS XD

I can't wait to see!

[thisbluespirit]

I've just spent 18 months idly writing a giant AU that revolves around Hanne being the only one who wants them to get married. You are VERY GOOD. XD

[bookblather]

I desperately want this AU now. GO ME.

If I can ever finish editing the thing, you may have it! XD
