Dropped Prompts/Plotbunnies for Others

SO I just went through my backlog of prompt call prompts and these are the stories I know I'm not going to be filling.

I'm still going to do (at least) one prompt per person from my backlog, but yeah figured I'd post this now for reference. Anyone may feel free to claim these, just point the original prompter (the user in parens) to your creation!

• magic animal familiars in contemporary settings (perfectworry, Companion Animals Prompt Call)
• Companion animals in a furry setting. Does it ever seem creepy? (skjam, Companion Animals Prompt Call)
• A human and their companion animal have a supernatural bond. (satinroseironthorns Companion Animals Prompt Call)

[The Real LJ Idol Season 10] Week 8: No Comment

I often don't realize what I should say until later, well after the fact.

"Actually, I kinda got stuck in class staring at my goal sheet. Stigma doesn't actually really come up in the goal I'm focusing on in-class because so many people at my church are open about struggling with mental health issues. That's actually one of the reasons it's one of the few places I consider my community."

Usually I say it has to do with my learning disability, but it's not just that. It's also personal and cultural. I'm a wallflower, I'm softspoken. I prefer listening sometimes, especially if it's a topic of interest to me (or it's something I think I might be able to synthesize into something new).

However my silence doesn't mean I don't have opinions or ideas. Get me comfortable and talking (preferably about something I have an interest in) and you'll find that I can talk up a storm and probably won't stop talking and I have lots of ideas gathered from research, and listening to other people.

This year, I'm trying to stretch, to actually be vocal about my opinions because this is a crazy world we're living in, and well, I'm trying to be more visible. If I want to be a published author, a resource-bridger, and a real change agent, I have to learn to speak up to create and be those things.
