So the Once And Future Roommate pocky_slash has started the terribly clever Writing Chat Thingy.

The game is very simple: a group of writers from various fandom meet in an AIM chatroom on a semi-weekly basis, pocky_slash issues a prompt, and from thenceforth all writers involved have 15 minutes to come up with some sort of response to the prompt. It may be fanfic or original, the point is that in fifteen minutes it's to be posted in LJ-comment form for all to see and then, hopefully, discuss or pull hair about before you go another around. Now I happened to finally get myself involved with the latest round. (Fandoms are primarily original, Stargate Atlantis, Firefly, The West Wing, Phoenix Wright, etc, etc.) Results on my part were of varying quality, mostly due to my being super rusty at this writing thing. But there are a few pieces I am happy with, and I will repost them here in all of their poorly edited, rushed glory.


( prompt was 'write about a tool'. ergo proxy. re-l and iggy (oh yes i went there). pre-series. )


( prompt was 'hesitation'. original. i guess i was on some kind of robot kick? )

( prompt was 'what the neighbors saw'. Phoenix Wright. Miles and Apol--okay no, Miles and Phoenix. Possibly the piece I am most proud of. I do not pretend to have taste. )

I should be packing to go back to school.

So, naturally, I'm gonna do a Top Five meme instead. Ask for a Top Five Anything ("Top five favorite hats!") and I will answer ("1. Blue Hats 2. Hats on Cats..."). The catch is do not ask for my top five, ask for the top five of any fictional character in a series I have written for/have an interest in. ("i.e. No Gain's top five favorite types of sushi." "1) NONE 2) NONE 3) NEVER 4) CAN'T MAKE ME 5) SUBSTITUTE FISH FOR A PINEAPPLE AND THEN WE WILL TALK.")
