Drabble Meme

[unfeathered]

Since everyone else seems to be doing some variation of this one, and I've already requested a drabble each off smithy161 and mad_jaks, I feel I ought to join the club!

So the first seven (because it's a nice number and I don't want to commit to more than I can deliver) people to comment on this post get to request a drabble from me.

Some kind of prompt as well as character(s)/pairing would be greatly appreciated as I'm not very good at coming up with things out of thin air!

Fandoms
Buffy
Angel
Doctor Who
Torchwood
I could possibly manage Firefly too at a pinch, but I've never tried to write it (mind you, I've never actually written Torchwood either)...
Oh, and if anyone remembers Press Gang (which would possibly have been my first fandom, if I'd known such a thing existed), I could have a go at that too!
Crossovers between the above are also fine. :-)

Hmm. I suspect I shall have to do this meme at some point...

I think, actually, I'll ask for a crossover.

Ninth Doctor meets Lorne, preferably before he meets Rose. He sings for Lorne, in fact, and Lorne has to mention Jack, but not by the name the Doctor meets him under or as a Time Agent, or as a conman.

[unfeathered]

Blimey - you don't ask for much in 100 words! *g*

Will have a go. Never written Lorne before, though I can't imagine he's too difficult...

[morgynleri]

*attempts innocent*

You asked for an idea a little more than just characters or pairings... and well... I have a weakness for both Nine and Lorne....

And, y'know, I don't mind it being a set of, say, linked drabbles... or a ficlet...

[unfeathered]

Oh, it's going to be ficlet! Couldn't get all that into a drabble. Might make it into a double drabble though.

[unfeathered]

Done, and up here.

500 words, in the end. Lorne talks too much for drabbles! :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

another Jack/Giles crossover? Please? Pretty please with ice cream on top?

[unfeathered]

OK. Same 'verse or different?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

whichever you feel more comfortable with. I loved the original, but loved the way you just wrote them more.

[unfeathered]

OK, you get yours first, because it was the easiest!

My first attempt at dialogue-only – because the dialogue came first (as always, it seems!) and there wasn't room for anything else in 100 words! Also extremely non-smutty for me. Sorry if you were expecting smut! *g*

Jack/Giles, same 'verse as Connection, set after LotTL.



"Has something happened? You seem… happier."

"I am. Bizarrely, considering what I've gone through lately."

"Lately? But…"

"You saw me last Tuesday? Yeah. Been over a year for me, though."

"Time travel?"

"Yep."

"Ah. You found the Doctor?"

"Yep."

"Yet… you didn't stay with him?"

"Hey, the rate I age, I could have stayed away decades and you wouldn't know!"

"True. But you didn't."

"I… got what I wanted. And I missed my old life."

"You mean…"

"Yes, Giles. You."

"I… see. In that case… Suppose you get down on your knees and show me how much you missed me?"

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Now why would you think I'd expect smut from you?

I LOVED this! I just got out of a 3 hour staff meeting to find this waiting for me and suddenly I'm smiling! *bounces* Absolutely loved it!!!!

[unfeathered]

Oh, I'm glad you loved it, and that it made you smile after your meeting.

And the fact you loved it made me smile! :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose I could beg/bribe you to write more in this verse?

[unfeathered]

You know there's going to be more. It's already started. I've told you several times! *g*

I'm just trying to get Master Plan finished so I don't have two long serials on the go at once.

Even that's been interrrupted by all this Jack/Nine stuff - and that's been interrupted today by these drabbles, because my brain's just not feeling focussed enough for proper writing.

So there will be more. One day. I promise. :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Woot!!! Time for a happy dance!!!! (I know I've been a nudge about this, sorry, and I just LOVED this drabble!!!)

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Heee that's just perfect *g*

And just makes me want to read 'Connection' all the more :D

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Jack/Giles? Sounds *shiny*

Point me to it please?

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Oh I think I've spotted it.. "Connection" - that one?

[unfeathered]

Yep, that's the one.

Sorry, you probably didn't spot it before because I hadn't sorted out my tags that far back - it's on them now, though.

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

(y)

I've been having a tidy up myself and I found a couple of drabbles I'd almost forgotten I'd written :D

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Oooh, drabble for me? I'm too tired to think about anything specific, but something Torchwood/Doctor Who would be nice

[unfeathered]

OK, I actually have an idea on standby, so you can have that! :-)

[unfeathered]

Yours is up here now - I decided it makes more sense to post them separately than hidden here in comments!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

How about Torchwood, Jack/Owen? Or Jack and Owen would be be good, too.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Oh, and you said prompt, didn't you? Uhm, how about what Jack sees when he looks at Owen.

[unfeathered]

Oooh, I like that one! :-)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Oh, good!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Uhm... Right. feeling sorta bad for coming along and asking for a drabble when we hardly know each other, but I guess you can always ignore me in favour of someone else if you want, so... ♥

Jack/Doctor, prompt... over the years.

*bounces happily*

[unfeathered]

Of course you can have a drabble! :-)

Jack/Doctor, prompt... over the years.

Hmmm, I wonder where you got that prompt from... *g*

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I wonder where you got that prompt from... *g*

Yeah, wouldn't you like to know? It shall always be a mystery *grins*

Yay, drabble! *bounces*

Hm. What do you think. Should I try to make icons, 'cause I need to make Jack/Doctor or Jack!icons in general, should I try to write or should I just read something? *flails*

[unfeathered]

Um. Icons are good. And are the one thing out of your list that I can't do. So... icons. :-)

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Right. Icons it is, then :D

[unfeathered]

OK, here it is - and sorry it took so long!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

*jumps up and down excitedly*

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I thought I was too late, but I'm not. Yay.

Um, Doctor Who, please! How about something set during series four where Donna meets Jack and discovers he and the Doctor have, um, previous. Implied or explicit slash, I don't mind.

[unfeathered]

Ooh, I thought I was too late, but I'm not. Yay.

No, that was just us chatting again... *g*

Um, I'll have to rewatch TRB before I attempt to write Donna, as I've only seen it the once, but it's a good prompt! I like it.

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

So the first seven (I was safe sticking to 15 because I'l never get that many request *G*)


Have I made it??
If I have may I have Torchwood please? Jack: in a box (alone or not I'm not fussy)

OMG Press Gang - that was Dexter Fletcher and people wasn't it????

[unfeathered]

Well, no, I don't think I'd get 15 either, but I wasn't going to risk it! :-)

Yes, you are No. 7, so you have made it.

Jack: in a box (alone or not I'm not fussy)

Hee, that makes me think of Elliot and Keith having box sex in Scrubs!

OMG Press Gang - that was Dexter Fletcher and people wasn't it????

Yep. Possibly my second tv character crush (after the Fifth Doctor) and definitely my first fandom. Got the entire series on DVD for Christmas two years ago - still brilliant! Well, it would be - it's Moffat! :-)

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Yes, you are No. 7, so you have made it
YAY I was having trouble counting (I was still rubbing sleep out of my eyes *g*)

I don't watch Scrubs so if that's what it makes you think of by all means feel free to rewrite that very situation I shall totally not recognise it :D

it's Moffat!
It was? Well I live and learn

[unfeathered]

Oh, I wasn't going to copy Scrubs. It was just a silly one-line joke, really: Elliot mentioned her and Keith having 'box sex' after movign in together (hence there being boxes around) and then they cut to her getting out of one box saying "Was it good for you?" - and then Keith getting out of another! Very silly, and not at all what Jack would do. *g*

it's Moffat!
It was? Well I live and learn

It was. And see my post here for a bit of a comparison between the two shows, and one character in particular... *g*

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Uh... so Elliot's a girl then??


What!? I told you I didn't watch the show....







Oh pick yourself up off the floor already!!

[unfeathered]

Yes, Elliot's a girl! :-)
