Christmas/New Years Stories

[talonkarrde]

It's actually been quite a long time since I've written (fiction, at least) and I'm actually currently visiting family for four days (and in Arizona) and so I'm in a fairly good position to do stretch those writing muscles. Semi-inspired by joeymichaels, though I've been doing it for RL friends for a few years, but this is the first time offering to the internet community.

No promises for Christmas Day, but I will say that (barring unforeseen circumstances) these will be delivered before New Years. Give me a prompt, as detailed or vague as you'd like (with or without genre/word count/a specific line you want in it/anything at all), and let me know if you'd like it posted here or emailed to you.

No refunds! No returns! I reserve the right to first refusal if you ask me to write something that I have no idea whatsoever about (but if I think I can pull it off, I will most certainly do research and try and make it good). Insert other disclaimers here, to cover the fact that this is actually a bit scary to do.

Oh, and Merry Christmas, my friends; may your home be warm, your dreams close, and your family closer.

Am I allowed to ask? ;) If so...

Prompt: Something I said, or someone I know
Plot device: flash forward/flash back

By email is my first choice, but anywhere is fine.

Merry Christmas to you too. I guess two out of three isn't so bad. :)

Hey, you - do you still want this? I'm making an extra effort to get it done, for, uh, this years Christmas :P

Well hello! Yes, I rather do. :) My apologies, I just caught up to this. Obviously I won't expect it by Christmas ;)
