Discussion: finding prompts. When you want to write a prompt fic, do you look to communities? ask your friends/reading list? searches? another method?

Not much writing today with taking on some extra visits at work but I have a little time before I'm away to my bed so I'm going to try and get something finished.

With prompts it varies. I have a lot of unused/lingering prompts from a multitude of challenges at my comm and some of them are left over from my LJ days and at some point I will need to decided what to do with those. These days I tend to look at the notes of fics I read because some people include links to the source and I now have this bookmarked whether I use anything remains to be seen.

This week is crazy, so there won't be much writing until probably the weekend. Things settle down pretty well after Friday, though, so I'm hoping to make up for lost time the rest of the month.

There are two LJ communities I look to for my prompts -- I don't really need to go looking because I know there will be something good coming up. One community hosts a monthly challenge which I usually participate in; the other is once a year, but I sign up for so many prompts they last me for months and months afterwards!

Heading back up the ramp towards my next story. Will hopefully get to that in the morning.

I get prompts from several different communities here on DW, and I am never out of stock despite being in a bunch of very small fandoms.

I wrote a bit for my WIP and drew a bit for my bingo.

I rarely go actively looking for prompts outside of the exchanges/the bingo I take part in. I don't write because I want to write, I usually write because there's a fic I want to see that no-one else has written (hello, tiny fandoms!). I'm very happy to not write when there are no plot bunnies.
