December Daily prompts

[resonant]

muccamukk reminded me that it's time for the December Daily posting meme! (This suggests that, though it doesn't feel like it, time is actually passing.)

I've done this for a couple of years now and it's always fun.

Specify a date if you want; otherwise I'll just answer them whenever.

This year, in addition to the usual kinds of questions, I'd also love to get storyish prompts. Storyish meaning you never know what you might get: two sentences of a story, or a description of a story that will never exist, or a love song about how much I like that trope, or a rant about my pet peeve about that trope, or I know nothing about that canon except what I see on social media and here's what I think it might be about, or Ten Reasons Why I Love/Hate/Am Indifferent To that character, canon, or trope, or ...

As always, I'd love to hear about it if you're doing the meme too.

1. krait - "I pick December first, and will start things off with some backward reflection: Talk about a fandom you're no longer active in."
2. mific - "what about the Wraith in Stargate Atlantis? Ever tempted to write John/Wraith fic?"
3. clevermanka - "How are Brian Johnson and John Bender are doing these days?"
4. pauraque - "Something fannish (a character, a ship, a show, a trope) that you initially disliked, but that grew on you. What changed?"
5. terminally_underwhelmed - "What's a popular trope that doesn't do much for you, and an unpopular one you love?"
6. runpunkrun - "something you recently learned about yourself"
7. muccamukk - "Favourite power couple(s) and what makes them work so well together. Can be storyish or not."
8.
9.
10. mific - "what about crossovers? Have you written any?"
11.
12. marginaliana - ghost stories
13. runpunkrun - "a new thing you tried "
14.
15. - Guardian as described by someone who only knows it via social media
16.
17. ride4ever's birthday prompt - "Storyish prompt: for any due South fic you've written, write a prequel or sequel snippet for the fic or meta about the before-or-after that can be imagined about the fic's story arc."
18. mific - "the genderswap trope where a character's gender is changed. Yes? No? Maybe?"
19. runpunkrun - "fake dating: yes or no"
20. minoanmiss - "One of my favorite tropes is Then Let Me Be Evil. What do you think of it/have you explored it/so on and so forth?"
21.
22.
23.
24. runpunkrun - "John and Rodney in 2020"
25.

Okay, here's a few ideas - any date is fine.
Storyish responses are great - unsure if you need the topic specified as well.
Anyway, what about the Wraith in Stargate Atlantis? Ever tempted to write John/Wraith fic?
And what about crossovers? Have you written any?
Finally, the genderswap trope where a character's gender is changed. Yes? No? Maybe?

I know nothing about that canon except what I see on social media and here's what I think it might be about

Ooh, I'd love this for Guardian, if you're willing. (Any date.) :-)

December 12: ghost stories

[ride_4ever]

I choose December 17th because it's my birthday.

Storyish prompt: for any due South fic you've written, write a prequel or sequel snippet for the fic or meta about the before-or-after that can be imagined about the fic's story arc.

Oh man I wish I could do this but I just can't commit to it every day this month.

But I will try to think of a suitable question for you. *contemplates* One of my favorite tropes is Then Let Me Be Evil. What do you think of it/have you explored it/so on and so forth?

[muccamukk]

I've it helps, I've seen people black out some days, or just ask for a couple a week or something. Or do it in January. Lots of people do it in January.

7th. Favourite power couple(s) and what makes them work so well together. Can be storyish or not.

[clevermanka]

How are Brian Johnson and John Bender are doing these days?

[runpunkrun]

just throwing some stuff out here, take what you like:

something you recently learned about yourself
a new thing you tried
fake dating: yes or no
John and Rodney in 2020

I pick December first, and will start things off with some backward reflection: Talk about a fandom you're no longer active in.

(I'll probably be making my own post for this in the next day or two! If not, I'll do it as "Journaling January" again.) :D

December 4th: Something fannish (a character, a ship, a show, a trope) that you initially disliked, but that grew on you. What changed?

And I'm doing it too! My post just went up.

[terminally_underwhelmed]

What's a popular trope that doesn't do much for you, and an unpopular one you love?

[coffeeandink]

You took a break from fandom for a few years. Now that you're back, what's changed and what's stayed the same?

[clevermanka]

I'm doing this in January and my call for questions is here.
