prompt request

(no subject)

I'm making it my personal goal to write every day for NaNo. To that end, I'm asking for prompts.

Specifically song lyrics.

I don't guarantee that I'll get to everyone's prompts, but I will write something for every prompt that speaks to me.

So drop me a line here if you have a lyric you'd like to see worked into a fic of some sort. Who knows? There may even be original fic tossed in for good measure.

(If you'd really like to see a particular pairing for a prompt, let me know. If I can, I'll try to accommodate your request.)

You do het as well, right?

If yes, then try this one (I contributed this as a prompt to

sg_rarepairings, but alas... no one took it *sighs):

Cameron Mitchell/Anne Teldy - 'She came to my show just to hear about my day' (The Kooks, 'She Moves In Her Own Way')

I'd love to see what someone could do with this ;)

I occasionally do het, yes. But I don't know who Anne Teldy is...

Oh, you haven't seen "Whispers" of SGA's Season 5 yet? She's the Major in charge of the all-women team. Pity they didn't her more often.

Ah, yes. I've seen it, it's just been a while, and I only saw it the once. :)

Oh, but at least you do remember now ;)

Benton/Ray K -
Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy"

Couches in alleys - Styrafoam feat. Ben Gibbard

Hey Jack it's me,
I don't mean to bother you but somethings been on my
mind.
At the end of this road that climbs the horizon will
be reached in a matter of miles.
And when the wheels cease to spin the walls and the
fences will grow higher than redwood trees.
And I know your demise.
And I fear what will happen when the road fails to
flow under me.

The first time I heard this song after watching Torchwood I was like "...huh"

Dean Winchester in Atlantis

I'm really just looking for song lyric prompts for November, but I might keep this one in mind for another time. :)

Ack, sorry, reading comprehension fail.

You write Supernatural right?
I submitted this for one of the

comment_fic prompts, but no-body took it up:
Dean + or / Castiel, "Just don't put down your guns yet; if there really was a God here; he'd have raised a hand by now" - Editors, Papillion

No pairing.

Massage In a Bottle.

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide. Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time. (Possession, Sarah McLachlan)

Castiel, or Castiel/Anna. Or anything, actually. :D

here, have multiple prompts (my gf has a prompt newsletter and I do the lyric prompts for her so i always have plenty of lyrics lying around for good measure). hopefully at least one will speak to you. no specific requests. Just have fun :)

offer me alternatives
and I decline

Are only winds of change

that enough, 'cause I can easily do you more :) i didn't even crack into my file of oldies lyrics ;p

I let my courage down
I stayed up all night
I sat upon the springs, and I chased away the dreams
That I was wrong and they were right

I dream in color
I live in black and white
But still I have those days when I'm stumbling through the grays,
When I drink for boredom and for spite

I was looking for clues inside my déjà vus,
But I found I'm lost again
I found I’ve lost again
No I never thought I'd go this crazy
No I never thought I'd go this crazy
No I never thought, that I'd go this crazy

So will I suffer
Or will I be alright
I look up into the stars,
Then look down to count my scars,
And I know mercy

I was looking for clues inside my deja vus,
But I found I'm lost again
Looking for ways around the cliches,
But now I'm caught again
Looks like I'm caught again

No I never thought I'd go this crazy
No I never thought I'd go this crazy
No I never thought, that I'd go this crazy

I let my courage down,
I stayed up all night
I sat upon the springs, and I chased away the dreams
That I was wrong and you were right

Looking for ways around the cliches,
But I found I'm caught again
I was looking for clues inside my deja vus
And now I'm lost again
I found I lost you again

No I never thought I'd go this crazy
No I never thought I'd go this crazy
No I never thought, that I'd go this crazy

No I never thought I'd go this crazy
No I never thought I'd go this crazy
No I never thought, that I'd go this crazy

Oh, it goes on and on
When I have the wills,
You only have the won't's
When I have the do's
You always seem to have the don't's
But that's O.K. I'm only burned on the inside

"all my lies are always wishes, you know I would die if I would come back new." -wilco--ashes of american flags

Hmm. If it's not too late to do this... I'd love to see what you can do with some Blue October lyrics.

From "Say It (http://www.metrolyrics.com/say-it-lyrics-blue-october.html)":
You think you’re smarter than me
Well everyone knows you will never be smarter than me
That’s how it goes
I gained forty pounds because of you
Was there an “S” on my chest
Well I confess, you were too much stress
I’d have a heart attack at best
So now I breathe it out, I breathe it out
I spit it on the crowd cause they lift me up, they lift me up, they lift me up

When I’m feeling down
What am I spitting out? spitting out, something we never talk about
It’s called my mind

From "Hate Me ()":
I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again

From "X Amount of Words (http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/blue-october-lyrics/x,,Amount-of-words-lyrics.html):
You're a symptom superficial
To what they call knowing you
Minus the speed,
Could you imagine the phobia?

From "You Make me Smile ()"
And could you be the one that's not afraid
To look me in the eyes
I swear I would collapse
If I would tell how I think you fell
From the sky

.... and yeah, I'm gonna stop but clearly I've been on a Blue October kick lately.

I don't really care which pairings or anything like that. *shrugs* Um... yeah. I should try to give you some non Blue October though.
