*waves and offers drabbles*

amataraReal life (if it ever was gone) strikes again: planning for The House We Bought continues, and after holidays and two blessedly quiet weeks of courses, work is also back with a vengeance. All of which I penitently offer as excuse for my lack of both posting and reading/commenting. (Basically, those stolen half-hours on the train to work are all I have for now, so it boils down to either reading some fic, or writing some, but seldom both. And as I don't want to give up the writing - well. *sighs*)
Which is why, in compensation, I offer you - drabbles! Because I haven't written any yet, and dearly want practice; and because a few half-hours on the train seem perfect for the format. So: drabbles!
As for the type of drabbles on offer: it recently hit me that nearly all my stories are either gen, or gen with UST, or have a very mild sexual sheen, but few of them actually are about sex, and I'd like to remedy that. So I would like to put out a call for drabble prompts, in any of my preferred fandoms (doesn't need to be one I've written in before), that are in some way related to the sexual. I'm not saying I'm going to write hard R, because I almost certainly won't (so please don't make your prompt too explicit or too kinky, or you'll risk me getting stuck), but I'd love to tackle the theme and see what I can do with it.
Your prompt can be anything: word, sentence, description; all I ask is that you pick a pairing you think I have some affinity for. Again, doesn't need to be an über-favorite for that - but please, don't ask for Harry/Snape, or Delenn/G'Kar, or - well, those kinds. *g*. If you're not sure about a pairing, just ask in the comments. If it turns out I can't wrap my head around it, I'll just come ask you for another one - but I do promise I'll give it my best shot. So please, fire away!
And - oh, if anyone would prefer a gen drabble after all, feel free to ask that, too! I'm not in any way making demands here. :)
ETA: I'm not making any promises about timing (still some other stuff on the table too - haven't forgotten you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mithen!), because I can't, really. It'll be finished when it'll be finished. Hope you're okay with that. :)
