The request lines are open!

Okay, so I really, really wanted a Tenth Doctor/David Tennant user pic, and darling, generous greatbriton gave me the opportunity to ask for one when she posted this meme in her LiveJournal.

In fact, she went well beyond the call of duty because she let me make suggestion after suggestion, and then she let me send her some photos, all so she could make me what I envisioned in my crazy little mind. In fact, I told her she should change her name to "ReallyfreakingawesomeBriton" because "great" no longer covered how wonderful she's been. But she wisely decided to keep her user name, because that's really long and tiring to type. *GRIN*

Anyway, the meme she used stated that the first ten people to comment to her post would get a customized icon of their choosing. In return, the requester has to post the same meme in their journal and offer to do something creative that they enjoy (like writing fiction, or making icons, or whatever).

GreatBriton made me some fun user pics (see above for one of them, whoo!), so it's my turn to offer something of myself. I can't make cool icons, I don't have the tools or knowledge for such a thing, but I can offer something else:

I can write for you.

Therefore, the first TEN people to comment in this post (heh, my chatty replies will not be included in the count) get to request a writing of their choosing from me. It can be a review/commentary of a favorite television episode, or it can be a piece of fanfiction. If it's fiction, you can even suggest a pairing, or name an individual character you'd prefer I focus on. (Within reason. I have a small handful of things I won't write, but I'm generally flexible.) Who knows? Your requests may help me jump-start my creative writing muse, which is always a good thing.

Fandoms I can do:

The X-Files, The West Wing, Supernatural, Bones, NCIS, or Prison Break. Firefly, possibly.

I can even try Farscape or Doctor Who, but I'm new to those shows so I don't know how strong the character voices will be (I'd have to take the time to watch some episodes and try to get them into my head, in order to do them right).


I can't promise anything extraordinarily lengthy (after all, ten stories and/or reviews is a lot to put together and it will obviously take me some time), but I will do my very best to write something (one hopes) entertaining and interesting for you to read.

I don't like when memes force you to post in your own journal, so if you request something from me and don't feel that you have the time or creative interest to offer something to your own f-list, don't feel obligated to post this in your journal.

However, if you are motivated to give it a try in a way that you can offer, go for it. The possibilities are out there: fiction, drabbles, icons, vids, meta, whatever you like! I'd love to see what you may be inspired to create.

So. greatbriton did such an amazing job and was so generous with her time that I offer her first crack at suggesting something she'd like me to write. (Briton, I don't believe it will occur, but if ten people happen to post before you, don't feel like you can't suggest something -- I will make the time to write for you, no matter what! I owe you big for all the work you put in to make those icons for me. *hugs*)

As for the rest of you... what may I do for you? :)
