Hello everyone, and welcome to the first Watchmen kinkmeme unfilled prompt challenge/contest! Contest will run from Sunday, November 08 until Sunday, November 15. The rules are simple:

-Whoever fills the most prompts will win two months paid LJ time, as well as a nifty graphic to put in their userinfo or what have you.
-In order for fills to be counted, they must be linked in a comment to this entry. Please include a link to the prompt and to your fill, if they are in different threads.
-All fills must be at least 500 words to qualify, and please put some effort into them. I really don't think this will be an issue at all and goes without saying, but...I'm saying it anyway just in case. XD
-Again, the cutoff for fills will be 11:59 pm, Sunday, November 15.

A few notes:
-I do realize that there are a few people in the fandom who do not use their personal journals, in which case we can work out an alternative prize. I think we can save worrying about that 'til we see who wins, yes?
-There may also be prizes (at least graphics) for second and third place, as well as oldest prompt written. If anyone has any ideas for other fun categories, I'm completely open to suggestions. :D

Unfilled prompt indexes are linked in the third kink meme post for your perusal. :)

And...GO! Have fun, everyone! :D

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

Hokay, places my writing can be found!
-My fic journal
-FF.net
-Operation: Mindcrime (unfinished, on the kinkmeme)
-Growing Up Is Not An Absence Of Dreaming (likewise)
-If you want to do something from WIP meme 1 or 2, I can roll with that.
-There's also comment_fic, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna go back through there and find everything I've written. Check in the Repo, Buffy, and Kane and Bon Jovi RPS archives. I actually don't think I've ever written Watchfic there. *Cough*Becausesomeonekeepsbeatingmetoit*Cough*

Those of you with little to no knowledge of Operation: Mindcrime. (Which I'm pretty sure is my entire flist minus one person. XD) Does this video seem as ridiculous to you as it does to me?

...mostly because my music collection is pathetically depleted. But since I'm beginning to build it back up (and also since I'm putting off the writing I'm supposed to be doing right now), it is meme time!

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post a line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.

Unfilled prompt index for the third Watchmen Kink Meme. I've organized these by character/pairing to make it easier for folks to find prompts that interest them, but please keep in mind that many of these are only a preference and may also be open to other pairings. Also, anything that's focused on two (or a group of) characters will be listed under that pairing, though a few of them aren't necessarily shippy. There's quite a bit of this in the OT3 section.

Feel free to let me know if you see any typing or HTML fail, broken links, etc., or if I've missed any prompts. It's entirely likely. XD

Not currently doing a completed prompt index because I think watchfic_dir has that pretty well under control, but if you guys would like one in list format like this, let me know.

Index is current through page 22 as of 03 Novembre, 2009.

( Can't sleep, prompts will eat me. )

Now, will all the folks still bitching about how Cohen was too cheesy please shut the hell up? XD

Also, a meme:

The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about one another. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

And the chronological readthrough rolls on! Today's reading is all of chapter two, if you're following along with that. Sorry I'm posting this so late. In covering-my-ass news, I'll be locking down the Chapter One scans in the next day or so (because making the entirety of a copyrighted work publicly available makes me just a little nervous), so if you haven't read it yet and want to, you might want to head on over there.

( I should be drinking a toast to absent friends, instead of these comedians )

Sorry it's taken me so long to get these up. Will have Ch2 up ASAP, know it's late as hell. :P

( Under The Hood )

Starting Watchmen chronological readthrough today! Like I said, I'll be posting up scans one chapter at a time. wings_on_flames has the reading schedule up here for those who want to follow along; otherwise you can always just read the chapters as I post them.

There was some talk of doing discussion questions but it never really came to anything, so if anyone wants to do that in the comments, I'm totally open to it. (Heh, understatement. FEED MY INNER FANGIRL DORK PLZ. XD) Will get Ch1 supplement up as soon as I get GN back from Nik; I don't have those bits scanned yet.

( At mignight all the agents and the superhuman crew go out and round up everyone that knows more than they do )

'Cause we're all a bunch of nerds! XD

I'm gonna be putting up scans as we go along, so if there's anyone here who hasn't read it and wants to, this might be the time. :D *Pokes you all and attempts to drag you down into the fandom vortex*

havenward posted this via TwitPic. Thought I'd transcribe it for folks who can't read it.

Soldier:

First things first. If you're reading this you're fucked six ways to Sunday. No one's coming to rescue you, princess. It's just you, me, and a whole lot of demonic SOBs who want to see your insides on the outside. Pray if you want, but no one's listening anymore. On the bright side, you'll be dead soon and this'll all be over. Not that that's any real consolation considering what comes after.

Hey, look, your last meal is candy! How awesome am I?

The pocket knife won't do much damage, but it's better than nothing and it'll still take out an eye or rupture an artery if you get in close. Keep this on you at ALL TIMES. You've survived this long, keep up the winning streak [? Doesn't look like "streak" but can't figure out what else it would be].

You can't have too many flashlights. You can kill someone about twenty different ways with that little thing, too.

About the bandaids, one word: Chuck.

Dean Winchester

I'm starting to rethink the Rorschach costume. Something about a fat Ror just...doesn't seem right. At all. XD Plus last time I wore a trench I looked absolutely ridiculous. Of course that one was bright fucking yellow and thrown together the night before. (It was "superhero day" when I was in, like, ninth grade. I was insistent on going as an X-Men character and wasn't about to wear spandex, so...hello, Jubilee! I wound up being one of like, three people to actually dress up. Yeah, I was THAT kid in high school. XD)

Uh. I almost think I could pull off Nite Owl? A very, very fat Nite Owl. But I hate the GN costume which means I would drive myself absolutely insane making the movie version. Which...honestly sounds kinda fun. XD Hmmm.

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea. XD (And YES, Nicole, I can hear you calling me a nerd all the way from Arizona. XD)

In other news I'm surprisingly awake for someone who managed to grab all of two hours sleep max last night, especially as most of that was one long string o' weird. :/ (I still wish I could remember more of it. Might've made for an interesting plotbunny. I just remember it being very bloody. And wandering around/hiding in a semi-abandoned mall-like area?) Ah well. Hopefully means I'll be able to get some decent sleep tonight. Need to get some hardcore job-hunting done tomorrow. Really hoping (and I cannot believe I am about to say this) that Toys R Us calls me back. Bleh, scary thought, but...need. Job.

Anyway. Debating if I feel like heading to the Landing. I don't really feel like walking today. Laaaazyyyyyy. :P In a random crafting mood but don't have much in the way of supplies, so probably ought to write. Keep checking the kinkmeme "just to see if anything's updated" and finding new prompts I want to do. Damnit, Estella, if you're going to perk up at the slightest suggestion of a bunny, you could at least stick around long enough for me to actually write the damn things! I don't even want to think about the current state of my bunny list...

Anyway. I'm...going to go now before this degenerates any further into random babble.

Choose one character of mine. Ask me any three questions about them that you like. Sexuality, preferences, history, the stupid little things that make a person tick... Keep in mind that this may give you spoilers I haven't written about yet.

Alternately, you can ask 3 questions about me.

Both is fine, too. :)

I found the rest of my WIPs, so I thought I would do an addendum. A few of these have been semi-abandoned, but I still have them laying about, so there is a vague thought of finishing them.

( Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Smallville, RENT, Buffy, Good Charlotte, Bon Jovi, My Chemical Romance, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Treasure Planet, Harry Potter )

Could also add the stuff from the alphabet meme, but...laaazy.

findmyantidrug (whose memes I seem to be ripping off wholesale tonight) gave me Laurie and Dib. And I am bored as hell, so I shall do both. :D
