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. )

Orific. 1,546 words. Wren's Make Prey-verse. This probably won't make sense to anyone but me and chirachira, but the short of it? Boy Gets Caught In Snow Storm. Boy Finds Cave. Boy Finds Baby Dragon Sleeping In Cave. Boy Decides Baby Dragon Would Make A Very Good Warm Blanket.

The following ensues.

( 'I am the crown prince, you see. I am allowed to have nice things.' )

Warning: These two are utter retards.
