Drabbles, anyone?

[shimotsuki]

Snagged and adapted from hrymfaxe, even though I wasn't in time for her art requests. Because it looks like fun, and because I have at least three WIPs I should be working on. ;)

First five comments with a fandom, pairing or character(s), and prompt will get a drabble. If you ask for something [or not], feel free to post this on your journal and offer five of either art or fic that you do, too.

Fandoms:

• Harry Potter
  
• Vorkosigan saga (up to and including Mirror Dance)
  
• Earthsea
  
• (...going out on a major limb here, stylistically...) Kinsey Millhone
  
• Oh! Almost forgot Discworld

It's been a long time since I read the books last, so I'll have to take a look first! But I might come up with something. ;)

I had no idea there were more books after the trilogy!!!! ARgh! And with Tenar no less!! :D:D I will look for them immediately.

Oh, no worries either way -- I didn't mean to give you a homework assignment. ;) But you were my inspiration for this meme, which I've really been enjoying, so if you do think of something you'd like (wouldn't have to be Earthsea at all), feel free to let me know!

The last two Earthsea books are kind of different in style from the first three (after all, they were written so much later), so some fans apparently don't like them -- especially the fourth one, which is partly an Earthsea-internal feminist critique of the magical system and hierarchy. But I like them, a lot. Grown-up Tenar rocks.

Aw, that's really nice of you! :D I may very well take you up on that offer! (and likewise - if there is something/one you would like to see drawn! And don't feel like you have pressured me into this - I'm having a lot of fun drawing for people)

I'm definitely going to look for those books. Maybe they will cure the shakings that will no doubt start when I run out of new Gaiman books.... LOL

Oh, dear, that is really nice of you to offer, but of course now I am all worried that I pressured you into saying that, which wasn't what I meant to do at all ... eep ...

On the other hand, now I'm feeling really tempted to say this, so ... A while ago you did say that you liked a scene from a fic I wrote with Remus lying on a sofa with his head in Tonks's lap, holding Teddy -- that's probably way too complicated for a "drabbly" kind of thing like this, but if you actually felt like doing some kind of simple variation on that someday, I would be delighted! (Remus/Tonks, prompt sofa?) But if you don't have time or this isn't something fun to draw, please don't worry about it. :)

Don't worry about it at all! I would love to draw something for you.

Oh yes I DO remember that scene! (there are actually several scenes in your stories that make me want to draw.... Another is Remus in his small apartment, reading the newspaper for jobs, and wringing the last drops of taste out of a teabag - but I would want to make a full out drawing/painting for that one) I will definitely see if I can't make a drawble of some kind for your sofa-prompt! :D

And now that I have given it some thought: I would like a drabble on Voldemort, prompt: classroom. Is that new enough territory to be challenging?

[shimotsuki.livejournal.com]

Voldemort and classroom it is! That's really intriguing. I have a couple of little ideas, but I'm going to mull it over for a few days. Hmmm... *lost in thought*

"Drawble," hee -- I hadn't heard that before, but of course that's what they are. Thank you for considering a sofa drawble! No one has ever drawn anything from a story of mine before. (I'm also squeeing that you think Remus and his poor sorry teabag might be a subject someday too. :) )
