Ten-Request Meme

[persephone_kore]

Snagged from labellementeuse

The first 10 people to comment on this post get to request a drabble (or ficlet, if I feel like it) on a subject/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal (not that I'd enforce it if I could, but that's how it supposedly goes). Post all fandoms you're willing to write(/draw) for.

Fandoms:
X-Men (and satellites) (may include X-Project)
Harry Potter
Young Wizards
Neopets
Abhorsen (warning: I don't have the books with me)
Star Wars (warning: limited knowledge of EU and obscure movie details)
Enchanted Forest Chronicles
Winnie the Pooh
Vor (...maybe?)
write-ins may be considered, especially since I suspect I'm forgetting something

Special Rules: If I'm not able or willing to do your request in good faith due to cluelessness, differences in interpretation, or sheer defeat (such as discovering I can't do a decent Miles-voice; I have no idea), I will ask if you want something else or reinterpret wildly. Though I suppose I could probably do a hundred words of almost anything; whether they'd be any good or just embarrass us both is another question.

Edit: First ten people to comment requesting a ficlet! There are considerably more comments than requests, as I've filled the first few in the comments and some people have responded further. I'm currently at 6 requests, 6 completed. (Maybe I should give them their own posts?)

How did I miss this one?

*glee*

May I request YW, with something Carl and Tom as they are most days?

And please feel free to request something back, drabble request always open!

Carl looked up from the latest development in claudications as Tom came in the back door. "There you are. Did the koi have anything interesting to say?"

"Plenty." Tom sat down at the table and picked up his pen, twiddling it against a notebook. Today was a longhand day. "I don't know how most of it applies yet, but I did pass along a koan that seemed applicable to the macroflagellates' problems."

"Good." Carl indicated the kitchen counter without looking. "I made you a sandwich."

"Thanks."

After a moment, Carl added helpfully, "You should eat it. You could always think of digestion as an editing process, if that helps."

Tom barked a laugh and retrieved the sandwich. After swallowing the first half, he dived back into the process of making fiction from his life.

Thank you so much! This is brilliant and the last line is perfection.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. :) I wanted to capture a bit about "day jobs" as well as that an ordinary day for them probably does include a lot of wizardry.
