Brevity is the Soul of Wit

[ladyoflorien]

Trying to get back into the swing of things after a crazy busy start to March, and then being gross-sick for a week. So Happy #FicFriday!

Continuing the new tradition from here:

— Leave prompts in the comment section below
— I will respond with at least 2-sentences of fic, unless I get carried away
— You can request anything (take a look at my interests for ideas), including OF
— Leave prompts for 140 Character Fic over on Twitter, too! Use the hashtag #FicFriday
— Brevity is the soul of wit
— HAVE FUN!

If you have a #FicFriday post of your own, link me to it in the comments so I can prompt you as well! Happy writing, everyone!


My #140CharFic fills from Twitter (3/15):

Firefly
For Fi, prompt: Zoe-fear
"She was good with folk on the field. 'Keep your head up, eyes open. Probably won't make much difference, but maybe you'll live.'"

Hell on Wheels / 3:10 to Yuma crossover
For Fi, prompt: Lily-William-growth
"She's seen the growth of the railroad; if honest, helping William nurture his land and seeing what it may do brings more delight."

Seabiscuit / Changeling OC crossover
For Fi, prompt: Red/Tiwa-belief
"She never says, 'Don't look down!' Doesn't have to. Holding onto each other, he needs no reminder he's safe. His eyes stay open."

The Three Musketeers
For Fi, prompt: Porthos-old friends
"The truest companions are born from conflict. Call it ego, posturing, pride - Athos laughs, teeth stained red, and Aramis sings."

Ha! Don't say that, because the last time I was teasingly pressured to write something longer the muse clammed up on me and I ended up just today sending a (really awful and crappy short) fill for a prompt left almost a month ago.

BESIDES, YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT OF BREVITY BEING THE SOUL OF WIT, GOSH LI. ;)

Meh, no pressure. <3 I'm quite happy with 140-char fics, I'm just terrible at prompting for them. :D Though it might seriously be time to re-read some of the old ones we came up with.

BREVITY DOESN'T ALWAYS GIVE ME THE FEELS I CRAVE, GABBY, JEEZ.
