Giraffe Call: Evildoers and Bad Guys

aldersprigIt's time for a Giraffe Call!
February's theme is Villains! Bring me all your stories about bad guys & gals, antiheroes, creeps, jerks.
Caveat for this call only: I will write no more than two prompts per character, or I might end up writing an entire call about Rozen and Baram.
Leave one or many prompts, and over the next weeks, I will write at least one story to everyone's prompts.
(If you posted in the pre-Giraffe Bus call last week, you can post again and get two stories, or reference your earlier prompts)
Prompting is free! But Donations are always welcome.
For each $5 you donate, I will write an additional 500 words to the prompt(s) of your choice. I will also write 100 words to another one of your prompts.
Prompts can be related to one of my extant settings (See my landing page-landing page) or they can be for something completely different.
This is a "giraffe call" because the first few calls helped pay for the Giraffe Carpet in the bedroom of our new-very-old (1879) house. It being mid-winter, we are beginning to gear up for a spring of renovations.
First up: More raised beds!
At $25 in donations, I'll order take-out! Reached!
At $35 in donations, everyone who donated will get an additional microfic written to their prompts. I will choose 1 non-donater at random to receive an additional microfic as well. Reached!
For every $50 donated, I will do a one-hour livewrite on Etherpad or googledocs during the next month. Reached!
At $80, I will write two extra 500-word continuations - chosen by prompters picked by random number generator.
$100 will pay for the wood for the next set of raised beds! (that's about 1/4 of the total)
At $120, everyone who donated will get an additional (3rd) microfic written to their prompts. I will choose 2 more non-donaters at random to receive an additional microfic as well.
At $140, I will do an additional call about the 2 baddies of your choice.
If we get to $140, I will take suggestions for further incentives!

I also take payment by Dwolla

Date: 2014-02-08 06:01 pm (UTC)Antiheroes (Unicorn/Factory): An outlaw who sabotages the factories in effort to protect her village and the unicorns, and she is a total badass that only new guards will willingly confront.
Evildoers: People think that criminals cause problems, but most of them make small, unique gems of wickedness. For wholesale evil, you need people who believe they are doing good.
Villains: Complete Monster, Magnificent Bastard, Dark Magical Girl, Karma Houdini, Affably Evil, and Killer Rabbit sit down to a game of cards. Who wins and why?

Creeps, jerks: A magical setting in which women can protect themselves from unwanted touch by wearing a tattoo of a snake that will bite would-be harassers or rapists.
These are all non-character-specific prompts, so feel free to use them for diversification.
I will be boosting the signal on DW, LJ, and FB.

Good mother AND a Magnificent Bastard. She has her reasons...
Old Man Winter (any winter personification) really has it in for the (town, city, village) place this year.

Date: 2014-02-09 09:09 pm (UTC)Because I sort of dumped this in an established 'verse which needs some context, I will very likely try a second story to one of your prompts in a less context-heavy world.
Thanks for prompting!
