The call for prompts is now Closed!!

open! For the next 24 hours Until I write all the current prompts, I will taking your prompts on the theme of Spooks and Creeps, Ghosts and Ghouls.

I will write (over the next week) at least one microfic (150-300 words) to each prompter. If you donate, I will write to all of your prompts, and write at last 500 additional words for each $5 you donate, to the prompt(s) of your choice.

In addition to the donation incentives below, I have two new incentives:

For every linkback I receive, I will post another 50 words on a story (See the poll for setting here.

I will write, for the story with the most commenters by Friday morning, a piece about that setting.

And, of course, donations are always well-received:

If I reach $35 in donations, I will post an additional 1000-2000-word fic on the subject of the audience's choice. Reached!

If I reach $65, I will write at least 2 microfics for everyone, whether or not they donated. Reached! Add a second prompt if you haven't already!!

If I reach $95, I will write to every prompt I get in the next 24 hours - if something truly bugs me, I'll ask you to re-prompt (or a third prompt to each prompter). At this point, please allow up to 2 weeks for the writing to be completed. REACHED!!!

If I reach $120, I will record a podcast of an audience-choice story and post it for everyone to read. Also, everyone who tipped will get double wordcount.

If I reach $150, I will release an e-book of all of the fiction written to this call and the last one. At this point, please allow up to 4 weeks for the writing to be completed.

I'm still saving up for the giraffe carpet, which will be installed the first week of October November (still can't find a plumber)!










Request

Could you write a story about the main Addergoole characters celebrating Halloween together as small children? I know it would have to be non-cannon but I'd love to think of them all being chibi ghosties and ghouls together.

If not that, then a story about an Addergoole professor enjoying Halloween in the past.

Shadows

A shadow reaches toward the light rather than away.

A well-defined shadow where there is nothing to cast that shadow.

A shadow reaches for the person casting it.

I'll give you the same visual prompt I created for [personal profile] ysabetwordsmith when she asked for prompts about ghosts:

series of three snapshots: pairs of shoes hanging from telephone wire, same scene plus ghost standing in one of the pairs of shoes, same scene minus ghost and ghost's pair of shoes; photo credit to Seattle Rex, photo manipulations to jjhunter

Larger version can be found at my journal here.

Spooks means FBI! More of the Cali/CM crossover :D

Are there ghosts in Reiassan, and do they interact with the magic in any interesting ways? Maybe a ghost of one of Rin's ancestors?

An Addergoole student changes on Hell Night and becomes something scarier than anything ze's yet encountered.

I promise I will read it today and decide! (I didn't read it yesterday because I was tired from, as you'll recall, spending all day at the museum!)

Hmm, I don't know! However the story wants to go?! I think I want a happy ending.

Er, okay, I guess Shahin-and-Emrys isn't really a happy ending yet. It has temporary happy endings? Like Ioanna deciding to have Tolly's baby? Oh, and there was that one girl, the one who almost escaped, didn't she have a happy long-term relationship?

Memories of reading about this type of creep

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creep_%28deformation%29

back in engineering school lead to thoughts of some kind of ghost or demon or something that can make statues and such move, but only very slowly.
