When Shane is twelve he almost has to give up hockey. He's come online and his senses are getting stronger and he keeps zoning out, focusing on the sound of skates on ice or the cheering of the crowd or a million other things.

Shane loves the game but he hates when it's unfair.

first meeting sentence starters.

send one to have our muses meet for the first time.

“Sorry, were you just talking to me?”

“I think you dropped this.”

“You look lost. Need some help?”

“I don’t usually talk to strangers, but…”

“You’re sitting in my spot.”

“Whoa! Careful!”

“We’ve never met, right? You seem familiar.”

“Is that seat taken?”

“Sorry, I think I just spilled something on you.”

“You’re blocking the doorway.”

“Were you just staring at me?”

“Excuse me, do you know the time?”

“Wait — are you the person I’m supposed to meet?”

“I’ve been sent to find you.”

“Please don’t be alarmed, but I think we have the same bag.”

“Do you work here?”

“I’m fairly certain that’s mine.”

“You’ve got something on your face.”

“Sorry, I thought you were someone else.”

“Do you know the way to ___?”

“You’re hurt. Do you need help?”

“That’s a fine ___ (cloak/hat/book/etc.). Where did you get it?”

“This might sound strange, but can I hide behind you for a moment?”

“You look like you could use a friend.”

“I think your dog just stole my lunch.”

“Hey, you dropped your coin purse.”

“I think we’re stuck in here together.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to overhear, but…”

“Are you the new neighbor?”

“First time in town?”

“I’m not sure if this belongs to you, but…”

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“I’ve been hearing a lot about you.”

“Do you mind if I join you?”

“I think you’re in the wrong place.”

“You seem… out of place.”

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but are you following me?”

“That was a close call.”

“Not to alarm you, but someone’s watching you.”

“Mind if I walk with you?”

“You look like you’re in trouble.”

“Was that your doing back there?”

“You don’t look like you’re from around here.”

“That was impressive. How’d you manage it?”

“I’m guessing you’re not here by accident.”

“Do I want to know what just happened?”

“You might want to keep your voice down.”

“Is it always this strange around here?”

“I have a feeling we’re about to become acquainted whether we like it or not.”

“Looks like we’re in this together now.”

Prompt me with a ship or character and one of these if you like! I want to write some short ficlets.

[capriciouswrites]

Would you accept a Star Wars/ Game of thrones fanfiction request?

Hello! If by request you mean prompt then sure! I make no promises though. I’m not familiar with the entire scope of SW characters, and my GoT interest is pretty Sansa specific.

Also I’m not always prompt on prompts! I am planning to do a fic a day month later this year though and I often turn to see if I have existing prompts for that. But sometimes a prompt doesn’t spark joy. But always happy to receive one!

If you mean something other than a prompt then let me know what you mean instead and I’ll answer that question!

[cuttlemefishwrites]

Let’s play a game. Send me a potential AU and I’ll tell you five fun facts that would happen in a story.

[letsdosciencetoit]

This has been one of the most fun ask games in a while. Please send me more!

[letsdosciencetoit]

With the Hiatus upon us, I want to revive this. Send me an idea and I’ll give you some facts.

Svetlana clicks on the television and settles back against the couch, glass of wine in her hand. The vodka is close though — she already knows this is going to be an experience that needs alcohol, she's just not sure what kind or how much.

"An arena eating a leg has never happened before, Chris. Do we have any updates about what went wrong here?"

Let's play a game to get me to work on my writing

Word: viscous

I am deeply shammed to say I don't have the word. I have written three (plus) sentences though! Thank you

[capriciouswrites]

Writing word game: “unfortunately”

Which unfortunately means that the magician is summarily kicked out of Gotham — when Jason is just getting up the nerve to ask some of the questions he doesn’t completely want the answers to.

[seeingteacupsindragons]

Let's play a game to get me to work on my writing

Rules:

You send me a word.

If I have the word, I give you the sentence.

If I don't have the word, I have to write three sentences, or edit three paragraphs.

If I have more than 20 instances of the word (and it's not a filler/super common word akin to "the" or "like"/a name), I have to write five sentences or edit five paragraphs.

[radialarch]

I'm feeling indecisive today, so I shall give you two tropes and you can decide which you're feeling.

Huddling for warmth

or

Battle couple

Figurative or literal on either is great

"battle couple" was obviously never going to be anything else but hockey

------

The Centaurs are down two in the third period when Roy draws a tripping penalty. Shane's already slinging a leg over the boards. Ilya for the face-off, Barrett on the right. Shane settles his mouth guard into place and leans down to watch the puck drop.

Brief fight over the puck, then it slides out back and left, easy pickup for Shane. The net-front's crowded. He circles around, passes to Ilya. Pass to Dykstra. Barrett's screening the goalie, and Ilya gets the puck back, he's drawing back, he shoots--

Off the post. Shane lunges for the rebound, shoots. The puck bounces off Miity's skate, still live. Chouinard gets it, passes--

Shane's in front of the net, Ilya somewhere behind him. The crowd's screaming, and Shane knows, knows what Ilya's doing, can visualize the wide set of his mouth, the stick hitting the ice, the shot. Miity's blind. Shane's own mouth is grinning as he fucking jumps, looks back--

The puck sliding under Shane's skates, Miity's dropping knee pad. Shane can't even hear the goal horn above the roar in his ears. Ilya's fist punches the air and then Shane's on him, shouting, heart thumping, mouth on his cheek. Barrett's pounding Ilya's back, Shane's, everyone's. "How the fuck," he says, "under your goddamn feet--"

"He was gonna shoot," Shane says, and looks up at the clock.

Roy's back out of the box. Five minutes left in the game, down one. Coach is gonna pull Hayes in a second. They can get another one, 6-on-5.

It's Ilya's line for the face off. Shane has to get back to the bench, but Ilya's arms are still around him. "We have this," he says breathlessly. "Shane, we have it."

"Not yet," Shane says. Presses his visor to Ilya's, hard plastic clacking. "Win the face-off, okay? I'll see you back out here."

"For you," Ilya says. One more squeeze, before he lets Shane go. "Then you'll score me a goal, yes?"

Ilya wins the face-off. Hayes out, Shane back over the boards. "Point," he shouts, and Ilya doesn't stop moving, doesn't break his stride. Drop pass, sweet as anything. The puck hits tape, safe in the cradle of Shane's stick. The ice is singing under Shane's skates.

4:39. Shane shoots. Puck through the air, past the defensemen, Miity's glove, bar down, in.

Ilya crashes into Shane, lifts him off his feet. "Shane, you gorgeous--" His voice is hoarse, his eyes glittering under the arena lights. "That was fucking beautiful."

Shane says, "One more?"

Ilya looks at Shane. Looks out toward the bench. Coach is waving them in. The air is thick with anticipation, electric.

"One more," he says, and holds out his hand.

Ottawa. How'd they get here? Tied game. The Centaurs are a point away from making conference finals, and the crowd is screaming its head off.

Shane takes the hand. "One more," he says again. A promise, this time. "Let's fucking do it."

I cannot wait to see what happens.... I'm literally on the edge of my bed... All ur writing is a phenom to me tho!!!! Ur soulmate au?? Chefs kiss, the boys are so dumb how tf did they not notice or get caught for so many years??? The other soulmate au is also brilliant, especially because I'm such a fucking sucker for a good hollandry friendship fic!!! And genuinely ur world building plus all of the issues u touch on in ur AUs is so fascinating to think about!?? u r such a gem of a writer!!!!!

Thank you! This comment made me smile so much I had to share it with my friends. And then I had to figure out how to respond. I didn't figure out how to respond, but I feel like I should, so just gonna do my best! Love "lowkenuinely", it really paints a picture. I love being called freaky (affectionate) as well! I am so crazy pleased you like my world building and my weird playing around ideas. Thank you so very much for your very kind words! I really do appreciate it! Hopefully you'll enjoy whatever rolls out of the pear shaker next as well! (Might be next magical realism, might be something else, no one knooooows)!!!

hi! i would love to make a podfic for “quick, he needs more hockey!” - i saw in your ao3 bio that you’ve established blanket podfic permission, but wanted to follow up and ask about the privacy settings for a potential podfic. since the original work is locked/for users only, i’m wondering if you want the podfic to also be for users only? this would be my first podfic contribution so i want to be sure i’m not stepping on any toes. thanks for writing such a fun story!!

Hey! Super excited to hear you want to podfic quick! I would prefer that it be locked/for users only but I don't require it. The main reasons I lock are because of AI scraping and bot comments. AI scraping is less likely for auditory/pod fics and I won't be the one getting the bot comments. Which is to say, if you feel super strongly about having it unlocked, you can, but it's not my preference. I do require that you don't use AI in the making of the podfic (which I know is in my permission statement, but wanted to reiterate just to be on the safe side -- super sure you wouldn't!) Super excited to listen to what you do with it!

Send me a ship and a sentence, I'll write the next five

Head over to the ask box and go crazy guys!

Ilya does not know the right way to tell Marly to wear a cuff cut off of Shane's shirt. He's not sure there is a right way. It's insane, it sounds insane.

What he does know is that he took the shirt out of the hospital room and he folded it into his luggage and brought it back to his house and cut both cuffs off and folded the rest of the shirt to keep.
