I have a good icon for this ...

Things which are embarrassing: writing a story, struggling with a title for a story, coming up with one I really like, posting it -- and then browsing back through the history of the archive where I posted it and discovering that someone else posted a story with that exact title (well, almost exact) just a couple of days ago. FAIL, SELF. I did that once in SGA too, and couldn't quite figure out how to deal with it. *flails, hides* It's not a case of conscious copying, more like fannish synchronicity, especially in this case since I didn't even know the other story existed. Anyway, I feel like apologizing to the original author, even though it's not like I did it on purpose? BUT STILL.

I'd really like to write more Highlander, but I'm having trouble coming up with ideas that aren't epic-length. Would anyone like to leave me some prompts? :) I'm not promising to write any of them (I actually have a terrible track record when it comes to writing from prompts, just FYI) but I'm looking for inspiration and I'm not above asking for it. *g* I'm currently underway in a big revision project on my original novel, so it's nice to have bite-sized little stories to work on; it makes me feel like I can actually finish something.

So give me a Highlander character or characters, and some sort of prompt: it can be something abstract and nonspecific, or a specific idea for a story or scene or episode tag or whatever that you might like to see me write ... I'm just floundering for ideas.
