Fanfiction prompt lists, and motivation

[timepiececlock]

I've always felt vaguely guilty that I've never yet posted a single fanfic entry to 64damn_prompts, a community I created and a prompt list that I wrote. (actually, I also wrote two sequel 64-prompt lists for akavertigo and her zutara fic Snowblind which she hasn't finished, very sad) It jjust never hit me at the right time. I was busy with my other Avatar fanfic and didn't associate the prompt list with that. I also wasn't inspired by any other fandoms, as I still live in partial denial for Doctor Who, I've basically given up Veronica Mars early in season 3 and have no idea what's going on, and BSG, while entertaining, inspires no fandom feelings in me whatsoever. Kara and Lee can make googly eyes/groins at each other for another four seasons and I still wouldn't give a shit. Heroes... kinda the same as BSG.

My actual fandoms are kind of... scarce, right now.

I'm stalled for anime, though I hope to watch Last Exile sometime soon, and eventually to finish both Monster and Death Note. All are hard to watch on spike travel with AmeriCorps, so it happens only once every two months, when I have a break or transition week. And frankly, Avatar has priority over anime for fanficcing.

I am watching DW, natch, but I no longer feel the need to write fafic for it. My OTP iscanon-forbidden by space and time, so I leave it to others to write and me to read.

The only other thing I'm into writing these days is Naruto-verse future AU Kakashi/Sakura fic, which would probably be just fine for these prompts if I could just bother to care more about writing ninja techniques.

I suppose I could do Harry Potter... but I like thinking up or learning names for canon spells even less than canon ninjutsu.


Ahhh... maybe I should just do it for Kakashi/Sakura. My fic Lucid is going nowhere because I started on a flawed premise and I can't really fix it without totally rewriting it. And I got such a kick out of writing the first few chapters as they are that I'm loathe to rewrite them. I could just start something new with a prompt list.

I wasn't that impressed with Evangelion... I was impressed by portions of it, certain aspects of it, but overall I think its overrated. Especially given the kind of shows I've seen since Evangelion. I think a lot of older US anime fans romanticized Evangelion because it was the first really dramatic anime they were exposed to. All of that's a sidenote, though, and I don't mean to comment on your tastes particularly, just wanted to let you know what I got from the comparison.

I'll definitely check those shows out over break, for as long as I have, anyway.

About the only way I won't get Avatar when it starts is if I get a trailbuilding project, where we might be camping without internet access.
