double your pleasure (or mine)

Ok, you crazy bunch. We've been doing some practice in my writing shop, and one of the prompts was to write a little piece to a provided photograph. I, being me, feel like taking this to the next level since I feel that doing this just once was not enough for me to fully enjoy it, you know, sample the textures and play around with it for a little while. I felt vaguely cheated out of it.

Now, the deal a present to you is as follows: you prompt me with two words, the first one I will use as a reference theme for a photograph, and the second will be the actual prompt for the written part of the composition. You can provide fandom, character or whatever else you feel would bracket the field.

Fandomwise, the usual suspects apply; original work is always a pleasure and the length would be kind of ficlet-ish (believe me, I could be more vague here).

Another option (because I really like you) would be for you to provide the photograph and the second word of the prompt. I want to work on my picture-taking skills a bit, yes, but I also want to expand my creative horizons, you see.

How 'bout it? Would you help a lost little soul out?

*pops in randomly* Ok, I'll play! =)

How about... crossover, SPN/DA; Dean & Sam, wee!X5-49?(s?) POV:

(Dude, I so suck at this-- it took me ages to think of two measly words! *pouts*)

Aw, I'm so glad you're... intimidated by it? I guess? O_o

*grins and bounces* It's awesome you're so excited! I was all 'Dear God, this is hard; how do people do this?!', and then I finally decided what I want (crossover and characters), and then I was stuck on the words. I really wanted something atmospheric and tactile, and you almost got a smell for the picture word, but I went-- 'Naah; I like drama more'. =D Also, I'm a firm believer in specific prompts -- you never know how other peoples' minds work! You could ask for "carrot, fluffy" and think 'there's no way the author can not write about bunnies!', and then you get a 'carrots gone bad in fridge and are moldy' fic and go O_o?! See? Communication, communication, communication. =D

...and obviously, I thought way too much about this! *sheepish smile*

Is that a subtle hint that I should do something similar? *nudge nudge* :P

HEY, YOU! *squishes*
