Drabble (and possibly ficlet) request thread

[strangetomato]

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.

Wow, that's an interesting one. I've heard about that Glabe character, but I've chosen to ignore her existence up to this point. Would it seem weird if I mentioned her now, I wonder? I could get it to work, I think, if she was only present for a brief period when the twins were young. I easily could say that none of the Curious kids would remember her all that much, and nobody knows anything about her, past the handful of photos.

Now I'm thinking that she's Glarn's sister, for sure. I would have tried for scientific partner if she didn't have the same name, but his sister could be his partner too. I'm already planning out where she may have ended up, her possible children, what came of her research, etc.

She what you've done? ;)

Hehe...I'm glad you found the "Glabe" thing interesting,I was going mad not being able to talk about it with someone.. I guess I like Sim mysteries a bit too much eh?

Sim mysteries are what it's all about. There's so much to dig up and interpret. It so interesting to me.

I've been thinking about the Calientes being half alien a lot lately, as you can see in my latest challenge post, and this Glabe thing is somewhat related to what I've been thinking about there too, so you mentioned it at a very good time.

Now... more pondering.
