Some of you might have noticed a certain lack of product coming from this journal in recent weeks. I've been suffering from a severe absence of muses - no words would come together on the page, ideas wouldn't gel, every sentence crumbled under my fingers.

It has sucked mightily. And it may not be over yet. BUT! I wished kitty_poker1 a happy birthday about 8 hours ago and the resulting conversation ended with a stern admonition to write, dammit, write! So I did. And those eight hours produced the following two additions to my BDT of Spander.

Author: darkhavens
Pairing/Fandoms: Spike/Xander of Buffy
Feedback/Concrit: darkhavens @ slashverse.com

Title: First Impressions
Rating: PG
Words: 424
Summary: An alternative first meeting for Spike and Xander
Notes: Written for lishel_fracrium, who chose #001 - 'Cemetery' on my Big Damn Spander Table.

( First Impressions )

Title: Out of Alternatives
Rating: R for gore
Words: 257
Warnings/Squicks: Death!fic but not permanently.
Summary: Spike is out of alternatives
Notes: Written for purrrfickitty who chose #078 - 'Other' on my Big Damn Spander Table. She also provided the following additional prompt: Blood on his hands, its sweet, metallic smell thick in the air. The temptation to lick away the droplet rolling down his cheek was strong.

Make up a title for a story I didn't write, and I will respond with details of those non-written stories. You may, if you like, include details, such as pairings or fandom or whatnot.

Hopefully this will lure my muses out of the opium den they have constructed in my hindbrain. *crosses toes*

Icon made by me, fully shareable for credit, plus a comment would be nice. :D

Also, tweaked and brighter layout due to bizarre lj coding incident. *is still trembling from the panic attack*

I have two Big Damn Tables and no inspiration, so... prompt me!

Go and take a look at my Spander Big Damn Table or my McShep Big Damn Table, and pick an unused prompt from one of them. Then give me something else to work with too - a line, or a scene, or a mood, or ANYTHING!!! - something I can get my teeth into!

Please!

I want to write and nothing's happening and it makes me sad. Help meeeee!

I will take as many as you can give me until I'm done and then I'll amend the post, so if you see this tomorrow or the next day and I haven't ETA'd with 'enough already!' then feel free to add your prompt to the rest. Ta!

Of course, I make no promises about when I'll get them all done, or even if I'll get them all done, I just want something to kickstart my brain before it atrophies. Please. :D

(And please remember to tell me which table you're choosing from, or mention a character's name in the prompt, because I am too lazy to figure it out myself. *g*)
