Help!!!

I just received the summer_of_spike '5 days to go' reminder email. And I have nothing. Oh, I've fiddled about with PSP and produced a couple of wallpapers and two or three icons, but fic? Not a word. No drabbles, no ficlets, not even a haiku.

So I'm asking for drabble ideas. You all know I stay true to my boys, so don't expect anything other than Spike and Xander. But give me a scenario, or an object... give me something, and I'll see what I can do with it. Any requests that don't get make it into my SoS submissions will be kept until I come up with something fitting. Hopefully something will spark my muse.

Hee! When this came through on the comment email I read 'art deco penguins' as one suggestion. ROFL!

These are certainly unusual. I'll definitely try to come up with something for some of them. Thanks!

Oh, I forgot that the e-mail does that! You could also read "penguins tap dancing" and "tap dancing easel" (which makes me think of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast") :snicker::

"Art deco penguins" isn't as odd as you might think -- I got the ideas from a bottle of Shakers vodka: it's art deco in overall design and has a stylized outline of a penguin etched on the front. You can see a picture of the bottle here (http://www.packworld.com/articles/Departments/17799.html?ppr_key=06.2004&sky_key=06.2004&term=06.2004).

Such pretty bottles! It might have to be 'art deco penguins' after all. Hee!
