sundays are the worst days for this kind of feeling

pick a--a world, any world I've written in or that you've seen me write in, fandom or original, whatever. And then prompt me on it. Any prompt, be it something you've always wanted me to write, or something you've always wanted to read, or--whatever. Anything.

Hit me with it. I wanna write something.

(example:

Quark: hmm
zuko
"know that aching pull"
Jade: it's the stretch of the burn scar on his chest
it itches when Mai touches it, and tugs when Katara is near.
the end)

Woot, thanks for finally sharing!

I must confess, however, that I didn't really understand it. I'm guessing much of the unfinishedness of it was deliberate, yes? Can you elaborate on what you were going for so I can kick myself for missing it?

hahahahaha

well, it's about "writer's block," so the lines hanging out by themselves are all from unfinished things I've written, or stories that never got started

and then it's about "breaking barriers" so it's stylistically unusual, which also ties into the writer's block, because sometimes you get stuck so you just leave stuff in brackets or are like "make this better," and so...

I thought it all meshed well with the prompt, but apparently the judges didn't think so. Or else they were like, wtf isn't this finished. Which is, in fact, the point. So. :-b

Haha, well done. Yeah, I'm guessing the judges didn't read as much into it as they should've! Alas, it's still a valiant, experimental effort. :)

Truth: I'm often lurking invisibly on gchat and wanna hit you up, but you always have the red Busy signal.
