I have a present for you, flisties.

I came up with this last night while talking to [livejournal.com profile] slybrunette and [livejournal.com profile] gigglemonster about my particular prompting style/preference when writing/etc. I talked about how cool it would be to create something of a "prompt vault" and that's just what I did.

random word vault | lyrics vault | world locations vault | ETA colors vault

It's of the "refresh and receive a new prompt" variety. You could click on each one and have three different prompts for a fic. Or just grab a bunch, I don't know. Right now though, a lot of the lyrics are various Tom Waits lyrics (because he rocks and has a huge discography), and the world locations thing is admittedly random. You could get anything from Graceland to Manhattan to Hanoi. *shrug* I may add more "vaults" for different things, like maybe one just for colors or titles or... any number of things. We'll see. I'm currently still planning to add prompts to the links above.

I hope you guys find these useful. Feel free to share with friends.

ETA: I would love to know if you use this in your writing!

What like that Harper's Island continuation fic you're going to write me?

I know I already told you but this is AWESOME. Sometimes, like recently, my muse is so uninspired and these prompts are PERFECT!

Thanks so much for putting in all this work!!! YOU ROCK!

Well hopefully this helps. There's not a huge variety. I mean I didn't pack the whole dictionary in there... YET. Too time consuming. But hopefully it helps a little.

That is wicked cool! :D

Glad you like!

You know I think this is wonderful, but it bears repetition.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
I do.

I do.

Hopefully it's useful.

Looks like it should be - and I love Tom Waits, so.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Tom Waits is pretty awesome.

Holy mackerel, that's cool!

Thanks! Hope it can help you out from time to time.

Wow, what a fantastic idea! I am definitely going to come back and really explore later--this is exciting! I love the Placebo lyric, eeeeee.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
I would love to know if you use it on any of your fics! :)

This is very cool. *bookmarks* Thank you ♥

You're welcome.

Love it! I think I'll totally be using this if I need a break from research!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome!

[identity profile] bebitched.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
This is really neat! I can't wait to use it to prompt me for something :D

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Me either! Good luck!

[identity profile] turquoisetumult.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Neat, KC! This will be very useful for many, I think!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2010-01-04 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so. It's got all the spontaneity of asking a friend for a prompt and none of the guilt if you can't come up with something good to write for it, lol.

Thanks! This is very useful for me in original writings. I already have some great prompts to work with!
