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!

Late to the party, but I would like some presents please!!! Probably word/quote-based prompts are better, but images and songs are nice, too! And I will never say no to a paint-by-numbers if someone is feeling Ambitious, lol.

Quotes for you (all from Blake's 7, because I'm going for creaky old SF as a theme apparently):

I hate personal violence, especially when I'm the person.

Wisdom must be gathered, not given.

I've had my head adjusted by some of the best in the business. But it just won't stay adjusted.

That would have been very disarming, if I didn't know that you meant it.

Other people's property just comes naturally to me.

Have you ever met an honest man?

Plus a song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcHVYrcb6As

I really loved making the PBN for bookblather and I'm hanging around in a not-able-to-do-much-else way right now, so would be delighted to try one for you, but if you'd rather wait for someone who's that bit more familiar with your canon (as I'm rather late to this whole party, I know), I understand.

Otherwise, just let me know if you've got any preferences re. colours to use or avoid, or characters you most want included etc. & I'll see what I can do.

Yay, thank you!

I am absolutely down for whatever PBN you can throw at me! The current colors I have open are Ruby, the Hills of Iowa, Cerise, and Lapis Lazuli; I also just recently finished Jungle Green, so probably not any of those. But any other color/character/etc. is fair game, thanks so much!!!

Paint By Numbers for Shadowsong26

Okay, here it is! I used the randomiser again, so if anything wound up too weird or with impossible combinations of characters or whatever, just let me know & I'll happily swap it for something else for you.

Acanthus
1. Sword (Lux - planet destruction)
2. Stone (Riluke - ostracised from society)
3. Pin (Tana – Night)
4. Quill/Fountain Pen (Mel & Sorell & Kes – reincarnation)
5. Dart (Kes - missing scene)
6. Paring Knife (Leyla – cursed)
7. Skeleton Key (Malue / Enairi - trapped together & Luxury)
8. Silk cord (Neremyi – wingfic)
9. Fireplace poker (Sorell / Nida - betting & historical au)
10. Spade (Dallu & Mel & Isshiri - self-sacrifice & stranded/survival scenario)
11. Baton (Malue - atonement & chance encounter)
12. Broken bottle (Telri - kidnapping & hiding an injury)
13. Scissors (Lux / Mariko – Anniversary)
14. Gunpowder (Mariko & Gabriel - enemies working together)
15. Matches/lighter/flint (Lonura / Nolani - staying up late)
16. Belt (Sefalin - deus ex machina)
17. Wire (Lux & Simon & Gabriel - gone undercover & screw the rules I have money!)
18. Razor (Kesshare – timeloops)
19. Nail (Kes & Rema & Fera - animal transformation)
20. Candlestick (Mel – anonymity)

(Relationships - the generator spits everything out as "/" so I just altered to "&" unless I knew it was a ship from your fic and lists, but go whichever way suits you on it. The generator ships it anyway...)

ETA: honestly, if this isn't what you were after I can change it, or you can just ignore it, whatever you prefer!
