I can't tell what this picture is.

Handcuffs? LOL

[darkhavens]

Yup. :D Lots and lots of handcuffs.

[paceisthetrick]

Yep, that's what I thought.

So we're allowed to make this one XXX? (not sure what is permitted on these comms...)

[darkhavens]

Any rating is allowed, just include a rating in the headers.

The prompts are only open for a couple of weeks, until the next one is posted, so this one is actually closed now, BUT! Twice a year, we have a 'Past Prompts Revisited' month, where you can post fic for any of the past prompts.

The next 'Past Prompts Revisited' actually starts next week and runs over Xmas and New Year, so feel free to write something as XXX-rated as you want to, just hold off on posting it until I make the Mod Post on Wednesday night.

Thanks, and have fun! :D

[paceisthetrick]

Okay, so that I am clear on this -- you can only write for the current post? I actually saw the past prompts post and assumed that they were all fair game.

Thanks!

[darkhavens]

Yes, you write for the current post.

slashthedrabble gets a new prompt every week, and slashtheimage gets a new prompt every two weeks, mostly, though sometimes I get distracted or completely forget that it's Wednesday until it's not any more. *g*

[paceisthetrick]

LOL I understand. I have trouble remembering any day of the week.

Are there other slash comms on DW?

[darkhavens]

Plenty! :D

Best thing I can do is point you to this list of fandom newsletters. You can pick and choose your fandoms and then go and hunt down the newsletter watchlists (what comms they're harvesting links from) and you should find what you're looking for.

Happy hunting!

I'm worthless! I am completely monogamous to Edward/Carlisle, who have nothing to do with twilight LOL. All of my other writing is original fic. I don't do multiple fandoms. :)

But I am looking for comms to participate in, if they will welcome slash.

I'll check it out. Thanks!

[darkhavens]

I was monogamous (Spike/Xander of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) for several years, and then a friend introduced me to Stargate Atlantis and I fell for Sheppard/McKay before the end of the pilot ep. I cursed her for weeks!

Since then, I've collected a whole stable of pairings, all of whom own a piece of my heart. *g*

I suggest playing with the DW search engine to see what you can come up with, but I do know there's this one, fiction_drabbles, which accepts original fic. And they have links to more original-fic-friendly comms on their profile page.

I am a hardcore Buffy fan!

But I totally ship Buffy and Angel. :)

Spike and Dru 4EVAH!

[darkhavens]

Buffy and Angel deserve each other, in oh, so many ways, but even before I discovered slash, I never really felt their tragic romance.

Spike and Dru was a love story of the ages for me and I revelled in it, but she threw him over for a chaos demon, all slime and antlers! Poor Spike needed someone special to help him over his heartbreak, and Xander was the perfect candidate. *g*

[paceisthetrick]

LOL

Now see I just stopped watching Buffy when Joss broke all of my favorite pairings up. :P

Xander and Anya!

[darkhavens]

I very nearly stopped watching when Joss made Spuffy canon. I never did forgive him for it, but by that time I was so invested, I had to keep watching to see how it ended. *g*

Xander and Anya were a fun pair to watch. She was so delightfully, honestly blunt and curious, and Xander was a darling, letting her figure out how to be human again and only stepping in when she asked for help.

[paceisthetrick]

Bunnies *shudderz*
