I like the number method. I have kind of an odd idea for the prompts. Instead of just coming up with a word or two off the top of our heads, or song lyrics, or something like that. Why don't we post our favorite lines from our favorite movies or TV shows. Nothing that would be too terribly familiar or too involved, but just one or two lines from our favorite scenes. Much like we do with the HBX challenge except it's writing Harm and Mac with lines from different shows. Haven't you ever heard a line on a show and thought "I wish Harm had said that to Mac..."? -- Fic Recon

In reply to: Pixie 's message, "If two people pick the same numbers, the second person would simply have to submit a new number. That's the same thing I do (or at least try to do), if two people pick the same prompt in one of the other formats we've done. And this method is actually more random than the one I used in the first ficathon, where I decided who got which prompts." on 06:01:16 10/04/07 Thu

For example someone could post as a prompt "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn", or "There's no crying in baseball" (LOL just kiddig on that one) or "I'd rather spend a lifetime fighting with you than making love with someone else", or just the word "Rosebud". I'm sure there are some lines from favorite shows from the past in scenes that we've watched over and over from Moonlighting or the Star Treks or Dynasty or Picket Fences or Alias, or Scarecrow and Mrs. King etc. (NT) -- Theresa, 21:28:31 10/04/07 Thu
- Well, you know that Admiral *did* say "There's no crying in JAG Ops"...LOL (NT) -- JAG Junkie (Ronda), 21:50:50 10/04/07 Thu
  - LOL! I don't think I'll use that one. These prompts don't have to be really well known, just scenes that we love that mean something to us, where we thought that was damned good writing. (NT) -- Theresa, 22:06:24 10/04/07 Thu
- I would love the "No crying in baseball" one! I'm sure it would make things overly complicated for Pixie, but one possibility would be to give each writer 3 kinds of prompts -- a word, a quote, and a scenario -- and they could use any one or all of them. (NT) -- lska, 01:36:29 10/05/07 Fri
