1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteen words or fewer for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.


1. Rafael Nadal (tennis rpf)
2. John Granby (Temeraire)
3. Jacob Black (Twilight)
4. Dinara Safina (tennis rpf)
5. Novak Djokovic (tennis rpf)
6. Jane Roland (Temeraire)
7. Tharkay (Temeraire)
8. Catullus (historical rpf)
9. Sappho (historical rpf)
10. Maria Sharapova (tennis rpf)

First Time, 4 and 6 (Dinara and Jane)

"Have you ever flown before?"

"No," she said, heavily accented. Her eyes glowed. "It's wonderful."

Angst, 7 (Tharkay)

You knew she wouldn't marry you, he thought savagely, and tore up Sara's letter.

AU, 1 and 8 (Rafa and Catullus)

He'd thought Spain would be dead boring, but Aurelius' new slave looked... promising. Nice arms.

Threesome, 3, 6, and 9 (Jake, Jane and Sappho)

Normally she would have avoided the boy, but Roland was too much woman to resist.

Hurt/Comfort, 5 and 10 (Novak and Masha)

"She dumped me," Maria said miserably. Novak hugged her tighter.

Crack, 1 (Rafa)

He really needed to find out why he'd been turned into a puppy before - SQUIRREL!

Horror, 10 (Masha)

Fuck stereotypes, she thought, and bashed the killer over the head with her racquet.

Baby Fic, 5 and 9 (Novak and Sappho)

"I can't be pregnant, I'm a lesbian!" she snapped.

"Can we focus on the CENTURY?"

Dark, 2 and 8 (Granby and Catullus)

"Ave atque vale, frater," Granby said quietly, and left the cemetery.

Romance, 4 and 7 (Dinara and Tharkay)

"Thank you for coming to my match," she said, and smiled.

"It was my pleasure."

Death Fic, 2 and 3 (Granby and Jake)

"Werewolves, huh?"

"Not as weird as dragons."

"Nothing's weird once you're dead, kid."

I enjoyed them, despite knowing less than half the characters. =)

Thanks! I am kind of a fandom slut these days.

hee hee hee hee hee hee. Rafa, Nole, and Masha are such scene-stealers no matter what or where they are.

lol, I know it. actually I would love to see Masha bashing her way out of a horror movie, blond type-casting be damned.

PFFFT. These are amazing.

For some unexplainable reason, I'm really wanting more of the last Granby&Jacob one. D:

=D

that one was the hardest! they have basically nothing in common. idk, I like to think of the afterlife as basically a big open space where people gossip for all eternity.

OMG NOVAK AND SAPPHO FOREVER PLEASE. Also I'm kind of curious about Granby and Catullus. Although, all of these? Awesome.

[identity profile] meretricula.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
LOLOLOL YOU KNOW SHE WOULD NOT PUT UP WITH ANY OF HIS BULLSHIT.

I thought about specifying whose grave it was, but then I decided it would ruin the suspense. so it's whoever would make you saddest! (I kind of cheated on that one, using Catullus' poetry rather than the character, but... oh well.)

LOLOMG! The Rafa/Catullus fic needs to be expanded to 15,000 words+. Seriously.

Hell, I'D read it and I'm not even into tennis!

[identity profile] meretricula.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
~thoughtful~ did I ever tell you that there's a tennis AU where they're gladiators? it's historically accurate and everything. just saying.

[identity profile] paper-tzipporah.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. I don't usually go for the gladiator AUs, which seem to exist in EVERY FANDOM, but I'll try anything once!

[identity profile] meretricula.livejournal.com 2010-01-07 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I know I read one for SGA, but I can't remember seeing one for anything else! I guess I've never looked, though.

LOL at Rafa and Catullus. Also at "everything's weird once you're dead" ;)
