not me daydreaming about writing a Sullivan/reader fic where the reader's father is Sullivan's neighbour who she's come back to Kembleford to visit...

not me imagining slightly meddlesome father pushing Sullivan to be more open because "if you let her just assume things, she'll assume the worst"...

damn it y'all got in my head with FB again, i'm meant to be going to sleep

🍂 🍃 Hello and welcome to our fifth annual Flufftober 🍂 🍃

Wow, we’re so excited to be back for our mini-anniversary and even more excited to have you here with us!

As has become our tradition: let’s fill the month of October with as much fluff as possible 🥰 since it's our mini-anniversary, we have a little surprise for you aside from the main list of 31 prompts and the alt prompts you're used to...😏

As with all our events, our standard blog rules apply, and you'll find answers to most questions on our FAQ post.

Below the cut, you'll find the necessary posting info and all the prompts in writing. If you have any more questions, please feel free to send us an ask.

Prompt Extras

Once again, we're offering you the option of Prompt Extras. You're more than welcome to replace prompts from the original list if they don't work for you for whatever reason - no explanation needed.

Aside from last year's fan favorites, we once again have a challenge for you: five rather romantic prompts - but make them platonic!

But wait, there's more...

As a little treat for our mini-anniversary, your Modmins got together and voted on their favorite prompts from previous years. We present:

Remember, you can use the Prompt Extras however you like:

to replace a prompt from the original list

to create even more content aside from the original prompts

mixed together to enhance one or more of the other prompts

Whichever way you use them, have fun and go wild 💚

We hope you like these prompts, and now

Happy Creating 🥳

one ask about if I'd still write for Sullivan and here I am, making the office all aesthetic and putting on era appropriate music to try and entice myself back into the swing of writing...

that's all it takes

this is your casual reminder to just send people your questions, because it may inspire them more than you know...

[ohnopoe]

are you ever going to update Do i Wanna Know? (obi-wan fic) I just read it and i’m DYING PLEASE

Hey there, this one I've debated on for literal years...

I think at this point, I have to say no. I've considered trying to go back to it a few times, but the flow is absolutely gone now, and I can't see myself finding a resolution to it that would feel right, so I'm gonna call it abandoned. I'll try and edit the posts to state this soon.

[ohnopoe]

Excuse my, mmm, curiosity? But, are you doing well, are you ok?

Over a year late to this one, oopsies!

Hi there! I'm doing pretty well, thanks! Been dealing with a handful of health problems and life is still lifing, but all in all, I'm in a decent place, thank you for asking!

Sorry I dropped off into the void with no explanation!

[ohnopoe]

By any chance will you be active again and writing for Sullivan 👀?

That is such a great question... I have no good answer for it.

I haven't written anything in about 2+ years, unfortunately, although I have been meaning to get back into it. Adding to that, I am quite far behind on Father Brown. So, possibly, I'm not ruling it out entirely, but if I were to do so, it wouldn't be up to date with what's going on in the show.

Sorry this is an unconclusive answer, but all it's all I've got at the moment, that and an 'I hope so', because even though it's been years since I've watched the show, I still love that surly detective.

Hello!! Secret Santa here to say I have no forgotten you but my month was way more insane than planned and I will still try to get it done in the next week or so but it may be a tad bit late if that’s okay! Hope your having a great week and happy first day of winter!!

Hi there!

No problem at all! I'm in exactly the same boat tbh.

I hope things are ok for you! Sending lots of holiday hugs your way!

[ohnopoe]

Hello!! I am your gifter (idk if that even makes any sense lol) for startrekkingaroundasgard Star Wars gift exchange! Just wanted to say hello! I am currently in the letting an idea come to me stage so if you have a more specific request for a fic, let me know ☺️💖

Hi hi!

It's lovely to... meet (?) you!

I wish I could be of some help, I too am in a similar boat lol. All I can really give ya is I'm always here for prompt lists/sentence starters or tropes, if that helps at all? So if you find inspiration hiding away in some deep dark crevice, I'm more than happy to see any number of cliches or prompts if they help you!

But more importantly than that, I just hope you enjoy yourself. Don't stress, just see what you vibe with and I'm sure I'll love it! (I can assure you I'll love anything more if you're not stressed out with it!)

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

[ohnopoe]

Hello! I was just wondering if you were going to do the Secret Santa fic exchange again this year? That was so much fun and I would love to participate again ❤️

Oop! This got lost in my adhd brain's 'gotta reply to that soon' vault lol.

Unfortunately, I won't be making the fic exchange this year. Between being way too busy and not having had a chance to write almost all year, it just wouldn't work out.

I'm participating in one that is now closed for registrations, otherwise I'd be plugging that like mad right now.

BUT! If anyone knows of some other fic exchanges PLEASE lmk and I will promote them loud and clear for anyone interested!

[ohnopoe]

one of my favorite things about fanfiction is how many writers don’t necessarily consider themselves fans of the original work. lots of writers just saw the movie or read the book and were like “that was unsatisfying but now I have yet another canon to fuck around with”

[ohnopoe]

You’ve heard of one shots, now get ready for none shots! It’s when you think of an idea for a fic and then don’t write it

[ohnopoe]

The amount of effort ficwriter does in order to write a fic. "nah the story doesn't need to be that accurate it's just a fic I'm not getting any money out of it" and then as they keep writing and posting their browse history is something like "moon calendar in 1981"

[ohnopoe]

Writing is not about 'telling an epic story' or 'making something that will outlive you'. Writing is about going "You know what would be fucking awesome?" and then committing word crimes

[ohnopoe]

Sorry I’ve been so inactive, life has been busy as heck. But I am still around and I just wanted to say I still see every like/follow/reblog, and they still make my heart swell 💕

[ohnopoe]

I'm blaming my exhaustion on this BUT...

Annie au! with Max Lord, where he's the Warbucks and reader is Grace...

[ohnopoe]

happy birthday to me. i'm tipsy and would very much like a hug from frankie about now... or jack to steal me away... or din to just... be with me tbh

[ohnopoe]

I had every intent on doing 28 fics for the 28 days of February (because I turn 28 during it), but life said NOPE! And gave me a lot of personal stuff to deal with instead...

So! Would anyone be interested in a prompt a day? Some might be pictures, some quotes, some themes, and just a ‘do whichever ones you want’ vibe to it all

Lemme know if there’s any interest!
