Backstory drabble meme

Inspired by schiarire

Her entry, and all the drabbles, are here.

Leave me a drabble of backstory. It can be about anyone -- one of your characters, one of mine, someone else's, no-one's. Anyone. Then I'll write one for you.

Ready, set...remember.

Fattening up my profile

I am bored because I'm at work, and the imput for what I'm supposed to be doing doesn't materialise because the pinscher is busy having hissy fits about things that can't be changed any more.

So, to relieve my boredom, I went through the list of everybody who has me friended in my profile, and ganked exactly two of their interests from them that I didn't have on my own list but was honestly interested in.

With the one exception of polaris_starz: she had so many interests that, erm, interested me, that I ganked three. And tekalynn, who unfortunately doesn't list one single interest, even though I know she's interested in many, erm, interesting things.

Then I added the names of all the actors/-tresses that are on my RPage icons and that I didn't yet have; I had Alan Rickman whom I use on father_grigori's icons, of course. I was not astonished that I'm the very first person to list Ameet Chana (on the icons for pteppicymon) among my interests, but I was rather astonished that there was several communities interested in or even dedicated to James D'Arcy (Lt. Pullings from "Master and Commander"; schiarire electronically turned his hair yellow for me, and I'm using him on the icons for beth_metatronim). So I joined one of the James D'Arcy communities that is called masters_mate.

I didn't make a list of what I ganked from whom, so I can't set up a formal game of people recognising which interests I took from their list, and offering drabbles of choice to everybody who identifies both their interests correctly. However, I do remember some - if you identify an interest that I got from your list, and I happen to remember that I indeed took it from you, you do get to give me a subject for a drabble, and I will write it presto pronto. Yes, woelfle, even Ben Hur slash...

woefle wins!

woelfle guessed both the interests I ganked from her list right, and now gets the promised drabble: Ben Hur slash, yay!

( Especially for Yap Zer Howlingwolf - here you are, m'dear )

And the offer still stands: whoever guesses what interests I ganked from them, and I still happen to remember whether that was right (that's called a Game of Chance, or Gambling), wins a drabble of their choice.

And one for cob_web as well

cob_web guessed right as well as to what interests I took from her list, and so she gets a drabble as well. She wanted a happy drabble, and left the rest to me. It turned into a happy drabble about a character supposed to be unhappy.

The offer is still open - get them while they're hot! The longer it takes, the more likely I am to forget which I took from whom.

Factoids from my life

At the bottom of the escalator in the train station where I get off to go home, there was a puddle of blood this evening. Just sitting there. Not smeared, not nothing.

And on the way home, I bough two fresh figs entirely because there's something utterly salacious in the way figs lie in your hand, soft and plump and taut and just begging to be squeezed, let alone bitten into...

Drabblage

vikitickytembo wrote a drabble for me, about my OC in the Discworld RPG. It is here, and I am very happy about it.

So, balance of a productive day: drabbles received: two (the other one is here); drabbles written: five, including those behind the following cuts.

The first is  Imp/Ade from Discworld RPG, and it's for minkhollow, who guessed my riddle right as well.

And the next one to earn her drabble was litsares She requested a drabble about Jocasta Wiggs, one of her characters in the Discworld RPG.

( Boredom )

I still owe a drabble to marchenland. I do original text as well, you know, if you don't feel like Wraeththu fanfic - just give me a subject. I even do poetry when sufficiently provoked, and not only for fictional purposes within roleplaying. So just tell me what you'd like me to write for you; you've earned it.
