Christmas Prompts?

Post by missy_misery » Mon Nov 15, 2021 5:28 am

Chris suggested we take things wider this season and ask if anyone wanted to do any holiday prompts or exchanges this season?

Cool, I'm in. EDIT: I am no longer able to take on any further requests. I will edit this message in case this changes.


My potential prompts (pick whichever you prefer):

Simpsons:
  • a story with Bart, Lisa and the other kids going on an adventure
Venture Brothers:
  • a story about Sirena
  • something about the Alchemist or the other members of the Order of the Triad (as a group or separately)

I like that adventure one...

Gimme a bit to think on possible prompts myself. Is this like a thing where we throw some ideas and then take one someone else picks?

Well, already trying to work on something but I guess I did have a few ideas I'm kinda torn on...

- A snippet involving Bart and Allison. Probably much shorter.

- Something involving Janey and Nelson and sneaking into things

Maybe all three'd get done given time but I guess I can take a prompt for priority's sake? Also, realize they're not that... holiday-y. Maybe just being in wintertime?

My ideas:

- A family reunion, either with scattered Bouviers or Simpson relatives.

- An alternate meeting for Marge and Homer

- Bender and Zoidberg go into business together.

One for Shirt and One for Chris from their requests, in reverse order:

“Ugh,” she grumbled. “I never should’ve said yes to meeting you like this.”

Hank gave her an awkward smile and fixed his mask. “The bat requires your assistance,” he said. “The Bat will never tell anyone you saw me in this park.”

“Right, thanks,” she grumbled. “Your maid and your dad are going crazy trying to find you, you know that, right?”

“My dad? I have no father,” Hank said. His eyes went steely as he said the words, and part of Sirena was more attracted to him than she’d ever been before.

She rolled her eyes. “I made you a tuna sandwich,” she said.

He nodded in approval. “The Bat agrees with this gustory feast.”

She rolled her eyes. “Wow, I can pick ‘em.”

But she couldn’t help but smile when he offered her some French fries.


***

They stood side-by-side in front of the music hall, eyes as wide as saucers.

“Wow,” breathed Lisa. “This is it, Carnegie Hall!”

“It’s just like I dreamed it! Though it’s probably going to be even more refined and sophisticated inside,” Allison said. The two girls shared a single look before grabbing each other’s hands and running, squealing, into the sanctity of the institution.

There was, of course, much to be seen there – glittering brass, wonderful, beautifully thick carpets. And they got to see it all hand-in-hand, laughing and running all the way.

Both have great writing, Missy.

Particular thanks for my present. Seeing those two on a friendly basis just warms my heart. Extra props for a lore-friendly* reconciliation between Hank and Sirena.

*Gonna admit, I tend to ignore the "the Bat" element in my own VB fanfics, since I have no idea whether it was intended as a plot arc or just a one-off joke, but I respect those who can work it into a functional universe.
