Apr. 25th, 2009 01:44 pmSo yesterday I ended up crying to my mum about various things for half an hour, which was actually really nice and helped loads. It was a mixture of one of my best friends being a jerk over nothing and my teachers thinking it's fine to laugh at me for getting mad at this one boy whenever he's an idiot (look, he used to frequently say things like 'I hope someone kills Obama' or 'I want to snipe Obama' and none of the teachers did anything, and now he adds comments like 'Ah, Betsy, my bestest friend' and is purposely even more annoying to me and the teachers think it's funny) and also the fact that I know all these amazing Christian guys and if I ever wanted to date them I couldn't because of my current not-a-Christian status. Also just the stress and the not-actually-learning-anything-in-school (THIS IS A BAD THING, OKAY?) and too many PEOPLE.
This is only exacerbated by the fact that all three of my sisters are hardly available. Mary's in... Utah, and every other week is in the field without a cell phone and having a lot of her own problems, Esther's practically inaccessible because she's always working/at school/with Matt-her-boyfriend, and Katherine (with horrible timing) is finally hitting hormone-land and flipping out half the time.
SO. GUYS. I need prompts for my various WIP's that are original fiction, because honestly I do not know these characters. SO. Here are characters!
Various Wall-fics that want to be written
Sidonie - 16 year old girl living on the Wall.
Flavian - her brother, around 21, commander of 20 horse, one of only three sections on the wall
Adrian - a centaur, Flavian's second-in-command
Albion - 45-year-old Commander of the Wall, born and raised in Britain, is planning to stay behind when the Romans pull out
Tiresius- wizard, part of the command section on the Wall, answers only to Albion (specify age when prompting, I know his basic story from around 18-60)
Flynn - a wizard, was onceu Tiresius' best friend, died when they were both 17
Risa - Tiresius' wife. He was ordered to marry her as part of political manuevering (complicated). Sharp-witted but gentle and kind, and is now the only one who can bring out what is left of Tiresius' conscience
Maris - Tiresius' daughter, born when he was 30
At the First Glimpse of Thunder
Cedric, Holland, and Sebastian Monroe (boy, girl, boy) - 18, 17, & 15
Cecilia Bardsley - 14, their next-door neighbor
Adam Bardsley - 20, Cecilia's brother, currently a Lieutenant in the Homeland Navy
So basically, give me any two (or three) of these characters (crossovers between the two different places are absolutely fine) and a word or phrase. An age if you have Tiresius in it would be great. So yeah! Prompt away? Pretty please?
ETA: I've done two, would love more! Also, OMG TENSES. DANG IT. I CANNOT KEEP THEM STRAIGHT. *dies* If you spot tense mess-ups in my fics for your prompts, there's a 99% chance I spotted it within five minutes after posting it. Sorry!
Much love to everyone giving me prompts!
ETA THE SECOND: Cecilia has an older brother. Huh. *eyes charries* Can't you guys EVER tell me this at a reasonable time?

Date: 2009-04-26 09:03 pm (UTC)Dearest Holland,
I miss you already. I'm sure you'll laugh when you read this, because the pilot ship hasn't even left yet, but I do. I'm sending you all my love back home with the pilot, and if there's any left over you can give it to Celia.
Always yours,
Adam

Darling,
The tin man came to Happenstance yesterday. I know I never buy anything from him, but I remembered how much you love looking over all his stuff and I bought two cups. In my defense, they are quite adorable cups, with handles like half a heart. I'm saving them for when you come back.
I'll just slip this note in with my latest epistle and send it to you. My love always,
Holland

Holland,
We docked just yesterday in Geleden. I think you'd like it - it's not far from the Homeland, and the styles and customs are very similar even if the language is outlandish, but the people are so much more relaxed. Also, they serve the best hot chocolate I've ever tasted. It tastes just like your old nanny used to make it - do you remember drinking hot chocolate by the fire in winter?
The harbor will be freezing over soon, I'd imagine. It's been cold enough this year. If that's so, my heart, I won't be docking in Happenstance as we thought, but rather down further in Bellasay. If that's so, then I'll have to find a way to get to you. It won't be very hard, I'd imagine, not for someone as determined as me.
My love always,
Adam
