Because it ought to be my birthday all month long

Okay.

It's not a secret by now that I am completely and totally obsessed with Supernatural, and that the only way I can work through this obsession is by writing fic.

I'm thinking casefic at this point (don't worry, I'm not giving up on the other WIPs I have), but because it's my birthday + 1 day I am going to make you work for it.

Give me a prompt for the case you've always wanted to see the boys take on and they never did. It can be anything from a one-word prompt ("UNICORN!") all the way to a full prompt complete with your favourite secondary characters or whatever.

After that I pick the prompt(s) I like best, and I'll write it (them). Also, I am happy to beat either boy into a puddle —within the confines of a casefic— for the record, if that's part of the prompt. It's not a secret that I'm a h/c whore.

Sound good?

I thought so, at any rate. ;)

Aaaaand GO!

You know this is like asking me to go shop for my own present, don't you? You're just wicked!

But, since you asked ...ever see the movie 'The Descent'? Bloody, twisted mess that thing, but if you watch those kinds of movies (and I do, she admits) there's a certain dark, horrible charm and despair to the underground in that movie. So many narrow spaces, giant unknowable caverns, underground rivers, endless chasms, and a desperate need for light, rope, strong arms, and sanity. I'd really like them underground. Not the brief, easy, oh, look it's a mine shaft in Windego underground, but deep. Stygian darkness where signs of any previous explorers is probably kind of creepy and where unexpected shafts of sunlight maybe seem like the light of heaven itself.

As to why they have to go spelunking? Author's choice. Any manner of monster, supernatural or otherwise could be down there. There could be tormented spirits who wreak absolute havoc topside and whose bones can only be found, salted, and burned deep underground. Evil, nattery little stone fairies, a vampire or pack of vampires or even a werewolf gone mad and to ground, anything that makes you say "oooh!" I just think it'd be awesome to get them down there and to try to keep them whole, alive, and working with the only food and light that which they can carry with them.

Damn. Now I want to watch 'The Descent'. I blame you. :)

Oh, and of course, you can't go underground like that without getting stuck and lost and separated.

Oh! Also! Happy Birthday!!! God I'm crap. *kicks self* *hugs you* Hope it was wonderful, darling.

Also again... that didn't post where I wanted it to, and I don't know where this is going to post, so, oh god, I'm gonna hit post and then I'm going to run far away so you don't know it was me with the random out of order comments, despite, you know, the giveaway that is MY NAME. *cries*

Okay, you made me laugh really, REALLY hard! :D

The new style of LJ has a really annoying nesting comment system which is hard to navigate. I reply to the wrong thing all the time. :P

Thank you!

And you are not crap, you are adorable. :)

Of COURSE NOT. That's the whole point! Well, one of the points.

DANIEL JACKSON! EEEE!

Okay, I'm calm. Composed, even.

Daniel Jackson is my Dr. Sexy. Guilty, guilty pleasure. ♥

I'm all about Amanda Tapping, myself, but I really like the whole team. SG1 are awesome. :)

I love her. She's always thinking, never selfish, and she's badass in way that's awesome without being completely unrealistic. But, Daniel. I just want to give him cookies.

Can I second...? I'm seconding... *raises hand to second* THIS. With a side order of whumped Dean and badass, protective Sam. And by side order I mean one of those places where they serve you copious amounts and you don't think you can eat it all but then YOU DO.

Or. You know. Whatevs.

*shuffles off*

Lots and lots of Dean whump with stray, whimsical Deanacisms, and lots of badass Sam. Also? Sam's huge and caves underground can be so tight and small. This can be comical or dangerous or scary or horrific. Just, you know, saying.

That said, any one of these would make an awesome read.

I think I can manage that. Yeah. I can definitely word with underground cavescapes.

Yeah, I agree with this one. I am already Getting Ideas™. It is likely to end up long, so don't hold your breath.

I haven't seen the movie, but I will be sure to check it out. The landscape sounds a lot like some of the dreams I've had, so I think I can make it really, really creepy. :D

I love this idea. It's going to take a while to write it, though. I want to do it justice.

And yes, I totally know it's like asking people to shop for their own present, but I work best with prompts, so.

Wuha. I think this will be awesome. So, I can easily wait. :D

Do check out the movie. I'm kind of picky about my horror movies and that one gets my seal of approval. I think they do such a wonderful job with the landscape of the underground world. It's so completely alien, but then there's touches of the above which just make it more creepy and awful. Not to mention, hooboy, panic and hallucinations galore. Bit of gore, though, just as a warning.

You know I love yarking up prompts. If I could get paid to do it, I'd be the happiest girl on the west side. It's fun. And apparently only requires me to sit here and go "what if" and not do any of the actual work that requires talent, time, and mojo. It's a win-win.

Sounds cool. I'm a little picky about horror movies too, but it sounds like the kind of movie I'd like.

I love your prompts. Your "what ifs" seem to strike a chord in me that makes me want to write-write-write.

So, win-win for me too. :)
