My dear fagenders, are you sitting comfortably?

... or perhaps uncomfortably?????

then let us begin...

This week we have five movie quotes for you,

1. “It’s an ancient carving, they all look kinda weird…” [from the film Rumpelstiltskin]

2. “Where she leads, I follow.” [from the film Snow White and the Huntsman]

3. ”From the world below, to the world above…” [from the film The Company of Wolves]

4. “You Smell Delicious.” [from the film Hansel and Gretel Get Baked]

5. “I wish we knew who cast this terrible spell on you.” [from The Muppets: The Frog Prince]

Do you dare look at the clips and trailers under the cut?

( Of course you do!Collapse )

So we start Grimm month with the titles of some less well known Grimm stories:

1. The Singing Bone

2. The Devil With the Three Golden Hairs

3. The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was

4. The Poor Boy in the Grave

5. The Turnip (LOL)

Well done to drizzlydaze and moriwen1 for suggesting this month's theme - fairy tales with a dark twist!

The poll contains all the suggestions from last month's poll. We have also added suggestions from earlier polls and made up a few more to make up the numbers.

Pick which theme you would like to see us feature for JUNE. As usual, we are not going to explain what each theme is; they may or may not be what you think! In the box beneath the main poll, we’d like you to suggest the theme(s) YOU would like to see for MAY.

These suggestions will then form next month’s poll* along with another suggestion that the mods will throw in themselves. In the event that we have less than 10 suggestions, the mods will fill in the rest to make up the numbers. If your theme suggestion isn’t picked, then you are welcome to suggest it again in other polls.

Remember: your suggestions for themes should be broad so that it’s easy for us to make up 20 prompts. For instance, ‘teacup’ is too narrow, but ‘Alice in Wonderland' works (more or less). Please expand on your suggestion in the comments to this post.

* We reserve the right to reject, tweak or combine any suggestions that are unsuitable, inappropriate for everyone or unworkable for us in any way. This might be because the suggested theme is a) too narrow and we can’t think of 20 prompts, b) too similar to a recent theme, or c) because it’s just plain unpleasant (i.e. sexist, racist, homophobic etc).

The poll will probably close at 12.00 GMT, (i.e. if I remember), on Friday, 31st May 2013. If there is a tie, the mods will choose the theme to do first from the winners and the other winner(s) will follow the month(s) after and there will be no poll for that month(s).

Onto the good stuff:

Poll #1916018
This poll is closed.
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 21

What theme would you like to see for JUNE?

My suggestion for a theme for JULY is:

Thank you for your time.

P.S. If anyone would like to volunteer to be a guest prompter for a month, let us know in the comments. The mods would still do the posting and will have to approve all prompts set, but we would like think others can have a go if they want to!

I thought I wasn't going to get anything written for the comm this month, but then along came the picture prompts.

Setting: A slightly AU BtVS season 4, around the time of The Yoko Factor/Primeval. What if Spike's cunning plan had worked, basically.
Rating: PG-13 for a little suggestive nastiness
Pairing: Mention of Buffy/Riley

Our final set of ‘What Might Have Been’ prompts is a picture round!

We’re giving you five pictures from some of James and Sarah’s other roles and we would like you to pretend they are Spike and Buffy and tell us (or show us with graphics) what’s happening! How did they get in this situation? Where is the other while they are doing whatever it is that you think they are doing?

Or perhaps you want to make some icons or graphics? Or write a meta about Buffy and hospitals? Or use clips from the shows/films in question to make a short Spike/Buffy vid?

Due to LJ's problems this week, the prompts post doesn't seem to show up on the community, but can only be seen on Friend's Lists. Therefore, I post again:



What Might Have Been, oh if only for these pesky emotions...

1. Separation

2. Longing

3. Jealousy

4. Fury

5. Minor Irritation

Setting an alternative ending to Entropy and kind of a replacement for parts of Seeing Red, I suppose
Prompt If only Willow had found the Magic Box cameras before Spike and Anya did anything
A/N This is an AU in which the Magic Box cameras were the ones that were spotted first, and investigated, instead of the creepy garden dwarf. (There's still background Spike/Anya as per canon.) It's *significantly* less dramatic...
