Subject: A prompt reply . . . heh heh.

To start, for the record: I tried to come up with something to make the pants prompt work. I do want to make an effort to participate in each one, but in this case, my characters just aren't the sort to be pantless. But I am sorry for ignoring that one.

A) Honestly (and in light of wanting to participate in every one, both writing a prompt and commenting on all the others), every other week is way too often for me. I think once a month would be a lot more manageable for me.

. . . But of course, I'm only one data point. I recognize it's not fair to everyone else to do it less often just because I'm in a bad work situation right now and have almost no functional free time. I'll certainly bow to the popular vote on this.

B) Literally doesn't matter. If you're ever busy, shoot me a message in any medium, and I'll happily do it for you.

C) Literally anything. From anywhere. In fact, have some random ideas:

*short snippet of the EPC version of one of your PPC characters

*short snippet of one of your PPC characters before they joined

*snippet of an AU version of one of your PPC characters if they were background canons in a continuum of writer's choice

*someone turns into an animal unexpectedly

*a piece of equipment malfunctions

*a stranger arrives

*meeting a Flower from outside your character's usual department

*an entire room disappears

*your agents encounter a physical sign of past events and react to it

*adventures of a mini in HQ

*a store in New Caledonia

*visiting someone from pre-PPC life

*how one of your characters would react to/think about the piece of real world media you most recently consumed

*meeting an animal (or plant?) your character never encountered before

*gnomes

*cafeteria food

*making a mess and trying to clean it before it gets noticed

*a ghost, maybe?

—doctorlit is aware that most of these only work for PPC characters. That is because the PPC is the only canon he truly cares about, anymore.
