sherlock scenes

I've always liked prompt tables. They appeal to the list-lover in me. I have a problem with prompt comms and writing challenges, though. They make me feel pressured, which is not conducive to productive writing (for me). My favorite prompt comm ever is [livejournal.com profile] 50scenes, so I looked over their five table choices, picked fifteen prompts from each one, alphabetized them, and made my own table to work from.


So here's what you'll find here:

Fandom: BBC's Sherlock.

Characters: Any and all characters and pairings are possible.

Solid headvoices (at the time of writing this): John, Sherlock, Mycroft.
Burgeoning headvoices: Lestrade, Sarah, Harry Watson.
Headvoices I'd like to acquire: Mrs. Hudson, Donovan, Anthea, Clara.

I'd say Moriarty, but I really don't want him in here, thanks. I have a couple tricks I can use if I need him for a story. Same goes for Anderson. And Molly, to a much lesser degree. (I don't dislike her, she's just pretty much the anti-me, and it'd feel weird to have her in my head.)

Themes: Judging by the ideas that popped into my head as I was choosing the prompts, this table will probably mostly be genfic (expect a lot of sibling fic) with a little pre-slash thrown in there. There may be some actual smut but if that's mainly what you're looking for, I suggest you look elsewhere; I'm more interested in the characters' brains than their bits.

Format: All these stories will be at least 100 words but not more than 1,000 words. And they'll be scenes. Nothing deeply plotty. Moments of backstory, brief snippets of present-day conversation, characters making observations about other characters in their own heads, maybe even some speculation about the future...

I think I'm gonna have fun with this. :D
