Drabble (and possibly ficlet) request thread
Like madame_ugly before me, I'm going to open the floor to some requests here.
What you do:
Give me a request for a drabble. This can be as vague as you want or as specific as you want. Leave the characters open or hand select the ones you'd like me to use. Prompts can be a single word or a phrase. I like the idea of suggesting a phrase or a request for some specific opinion or thoughts from a character, so feel free to do that. I'll even attempt something as tangential as "Frances Worthington's thoughts on Stella Terrano" or "PT No. 9 goes shopping with the coupons he's clipped that week", though I may have to politely decline if you completely stump me or it's way out of character (I'll try to make it work, though).
I will have to decline anything that would give away a detail of the plot that I'm obviously hiding, but I'm sure you understand which things are off limits. An obvious example would be something like: "What is Circe really up to?" I'm not going to answer that one just yet. If you make a really specific request, please try to stick to things that have already happened or are happening right now in the story. Okay, enough with the "rules"...
What I do:
Create, at the very least, a 100 word text-only drabble. I reserve the right to explode a prompt into something a little larger, like a ficlet, and to include images. I like including images, so I probably will include at least one, even for the drabbles.
I'll do these here and there, so there will likely be some waiting involved, but I'll honour all requests eventually.
So, bring it on, oh gentle readers.

I'd also like some stuff from the children of Strangetown. Jolene and Jordan Smith's take on their parents (what with them being so old and all).
Anything from Mint's POV (she's deliciously bratty).
Vid's kids (sorry, names ellude me right now). Especially Vid's kids take (if any) on his being away from them due to his Circe humping (I realize they might be toddlers, so it might not be from their POV exactly).
Silly wise, I'd LOVE some Bigfoot appreciation. I realize that's kind of out there but, hey, can't hurt to ask.
(yes, I'm deliberately avoiding the more main characters since I figure a lot of people will be interested in them)

There are some great ideas here that I haven't got around to thinking about much, like the younger kids, so that could be interesting. Mr. Doe is "due" *groan* to get some more air time soon anyway, as is Chester (but just a little).
You even thought of Bigfoot. *snicker* (I see him walking around town all the time and it cracks me up.)
