Hello everyone!

The year is fast coming to a close (halfway through September already, yikes!), so it's time to knuckle down and get some serious writing done between now and Christmas. I'm aiming for 500k again this year, so that means a lot more fics between now and the new year.

Inspired by the idea of [livejournal.com profile] adventchallenge, I'm seeking to fill up a list of 25 prompts, with one to be posted each day from 1st December through to Christmas Day. I won't call it a bingo card. Anyone who knows me knows my propensity for starting cards and never finishing them, so this is a list (lists I can do!). I will be setting myself a 500 word minimum for each fic, just because I love to torture myself. What the bunnies choose to do after that is their prerogative...

So, what I'm looking for is lovely readers to leave me 25 prompts (one word, a sentence, concept, theme, first line, last line, whatever). Prompts do not have to be Christmas themed (I like variety). Just reply to this post, numbering them as you go.

Will the fics be Torchwood centirc? Of course they will. Why else would you be reading this, unless you're a GoT fan and were hoping to see Jon Snow in a Santa hat. Not going to happen (sorry).

First in, best dressed. Once I get to 25, that's it, so if someone else leaves 25 prompts before you get your act together, well, it'll be a whole year until you get another chance. Perhaps if you have 25, leave a couple and come back in a few days.

Hoping to get to 25 prompts quickly, but will keep nagging for more until I've got a full list.

Thanks and look forward to filling my advent calendar!

My brain is so bemused by the first comment that all I can hear is burble burble burble... I'll come back later when the white noise stops.

I came back but all I got is...

Lol, penguins. I love it. Definitely going to squeeze them into a fic somewhere. Something semi-Christmas maybe, with snow and penguins and general hilarity... :)
