prompts

[meridian_rose]

I seem to have so many ongoing projects and bingo cards and the like - and then I remembered the 30 days of fiction meme I started way back when. I have just a few fills left on it. Then I can start the second semester prompts

7) Write something dirty (take that how you will)

8) Write a scene as a cat

13) Prompt: underwater - I suppose this would be ideal for more Nala the mermaid :D

15) Prompt: shots fired

17) Write a scene with a character in a foreign land, unable to speak the local language - I've got something High Queen/Kat planned for this

25) Prompt: noir style a genre of crime film or fiction characterized by cynicism, fatalism, and moral ambiguity - I'm really stuck on this one. No ideas at all, especially if I want to avoid getting bogged down in all the genre cliches.

Any ideas or advice? General stuff or suggestions from fandoms I've written in or the ever growing number of original fic verses?

Just off the top of my head - I'm at work, my computer is slow as molasses so I can't scroll back through all your fics - wouldn't characters from your Aura/universe fit into a crime/noirish/morally ambiguous story? Wasn't there a fic where she was helping another character investigate a mysterious death?

Oh, that's a good point :D It's just everytime I look at the prompt I hear 'A broad walked into my office' and I'm seeing the b/w docklands or smoky private detective's office. Carter, who's investigating the crimes is definitely cynical enough to fit the profile so thank you :D
