The prompt at

fan_flashworks for Oct. 10-20 is "Nightmares". I have GOT to write something for this. (If you don't follow fan-flashworks, it's an old style prompting comm, with a new prompt every 10 days. Any kind of fanworks or original fiction/art/etc is accepted, as long as it's related to the prompt.)

I cut back on some of my big novel-sized projects, took a few days off, and have been having a consequent surge in creative energy, which is a lovely feeling. I have outlined one of my Equality Auction fics and wrote a bit of it, and started my Trick or Treat assignment. (Though I might end up ditching that and writing something shorter instead; I came up with something that's probably going to be stupidly long and I'm not sure if I have the oomph for it right now.)

I also nominated some tags for Little Black Dress Flash (here's the tag set) because I think it looks fun. It's a flash exchange - very low minimum, only a few days creating time. From the description:

Little Black Dress Flash Exchange is all about fic with one of your faves + a surprise character. That's it! That's the flash.

Both ship and gen options are allowed; you specify ship/gen and gender or Any when you nominate the tag, e.g. Owen Harper & Any. Otherwise, it's dealer's choice on which character they're paired up with.

My nominations are stunningly obvious as usual. Relatedly: I still have open nomination slots if anyone wants me to add some Agent Carter, Torchwood, or Defenders characters!

Ooh, nightmares, always an excellent prompt!!

It is excellent!

Jessica Jones & Any (Defenders TV)

OMG nooooooo you did not just do this to me. Man I love LBD stuff. I've never done a flash exchange though! Do you really only have three days to write? Still tempting....

Yeah, it's an extremely short writing period - but correspondingly low expectations; you know there's not going to be 10K fic in the exchange. Everybody's writing things under 1K and it's kind of low-pressure and fun. Yes, I nominated Jess and have also requested her.

That sounds like a really fun kind of writing exercise! JESSICAAAAAAAAA (also, MISTY)

Also, because it's a flash exchange, you can continue adding tags to the tagset throughout the signup period; you're not stuck with what's already there.
