[Drabbles, ficlets] 'Blue Skies' posts

[shimotsuki]

The Blue Skies Drabblethon at day_by_drabble is up and running! There have been a lot of posts, many in fandoms I don't know (and some I'd never even heard of -- who'd have thought that there would be a fandom specifically for the 2010 Alice In Wonderland?). And new folks are still welcome to join if anyone wants to take a shot at a drabble or thirty, 'drabble' being defined as up to 1000 words for the purposes of the comm.

I've actually managed to post something for all of the first three prompts, although I don't think I'll be able to keep it up, since the next few weeks are going to have their share of distractions (example: tonight I'm meeting jadeddiva to see a Certain Movie).

Harry Potter -- Not that I'm being sappy about Remus/Tonks under the influence of DH-2, or anything *cough*. The AU one is actually a plotbunny I'd had in mind for a couple of years.

The Colours of War (187 words | PG | DH)
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Remus(/Tonks), Teddy
Summary: War is grey. But, sometimes, life is not.

House and Home (997 words | PG | AU, May 1998)
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Remus/Tonks, Kingsley, Andromeda
Summary: Remus wonders if the post-war world will finally give his little family a chance to make a home of their own.

Vorkosigan -- I obviously can't wait for the Ficathon to start, lol. Not a lot of Vorkosigan fans at day_by_drabble, though, it seems.

Pyrotechnics (285 words | PG | post-Memory; no major spoilers)
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Simon/Alys
Summary: Alys and Simon have better things to do this year than attend Gregor's fireworks display.

Loved "pyrotechnics"! Oh, Simon. And yes. I can't wait either. I have a ton of prompts all ready to go.

Oh, thanks!

I'm not so great at inventing prompts, but I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with. (I may resubmit a prompt I tried last year that went unfilled, if that isn't frowned upon!)

Wow, look at you being all productive! ♥

Have fun at the cinema tonight. I can't wait to see the movie either, but I'm going to have to, as they are not showing it down here. ;) Tell us all about it when you get back?

Now if only I could be this productive with my work writing projects, lol. (What can I say? It was a weekend! ;) )

Do you know, I've never seen any of the HP movies in the theater before? (One I saw on DVD, and two more I saw all or part of on airplanes.) So I guess I really should make an effort for the last one! Especially since the general reaction on my f-list is pretty positive.

So sorry you're going to have to wait for your next trip home to get to see it, though. :/

Are things really, really hot there? When I start wanting to complain, I should remind myself that you must have it much worse!

There is a reason you don't have work writing as your hobby. ;)

It'll probably be great to see that movie on the big screen. We know at least one battle that will be pretty epic in scale.

I'm going home in August already, so not that long after all - and both Boyfriend Faxe and my HP!BFF are waiting for me with seeing it.

Right now we have the rainy season. This means that it rains at least every three days and the temperature rarely gets above 35C. It's very pleasant here right now, except for some very aggressive mosquitos...

August isn't too long to wait! And it's so nice that you have a trip home to look forward to.

Wow, if 35C with rain (and therefore endless humidity) is pleasant, the hot season must be truly incredible! Hang in there...

No it's very soon, and I'll be in Denmark for three weeks, so I'm happy.

Well in April we did have days when my car insisted that it was 50C outside, and that would invariably be the days when they cut my power for 6 hours at a time.... So I'm finding it very nice right now indeed. ;)
