Happy almost Friday, everyone! I’m templefugate, and I'm back with more prompts.

As a reminder, we are using a new posting schedule. Sundays are for Lonely Prompts and sharing the fills that you completed during the week, Tuesdays and Thursdays are for new themes and prompts, and Saturdays will remain a Free for All.

Today's theme is, depending on how you view it, amazing or horrific: Fame! Prompts should have anything to do with fame, from desperately trying to gain it to escaping it.

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ DC, Mari McCabe /& Bruce Wayne, avoiding paparazzi
+ The X-Files, Dana Scully & Fox Mulder, investigating a celebrity medium
+ Any, any, infamy

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community.

While the use of LJ's advanced search options is available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

If you are viewing this post on our Dreamwidth site, please know that fills posted here will not show up as comments on our LiveJournal site but you are still more than welcome to participate.

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word! [community profile] comment_fic

Giffen, DeMatteis, Hughes. Warning for jump scares, ridiculous levels of violence, an extended pro-suicide thought sequence, and a scene that had me wondering if it was possible to fridge a dude.

Hate destroys. Hate makes you into a parody of the person you once were, an empty, scowling mask where a human being once stood, chasing goals that’ll never bring you lasting happiness. Oh, it might give you a burst of fearsome short-term energy, maybe even enough to destroy your enemies, but that’ll just leave you with one last enemy: yourself.

That’s the philosophy by which I try to live my life. Even when I have to watch the news. (Those Death Note fantasies are just fantasies.) But here to articulate a dissenting view is our new op-ed columnist, Despero.

Still better than Bret Stephens! )

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for...

  • Finally getting a phone call made, and finding that (as usual) it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. NO thanks to my phone phobia -- should have done it a month ago.
  • The Harwich - Hoek van Holland ferry. Would be more thankful if the night run afforded more time to actually sleep.
  • Ordering stuff online.
  • A nice warm fuzzy blanket to wrap myself in. NO thanks for a body that feels cold in the evening no matter what the air temperature is. ALSO no thanks for deliveries that make me get out of my nice warm fuzzy blanket to answer the door.
  • Good Drugs.
  • Filk cons I can get to by public transit.
