A slight clarification on prompts

[beatrice_otter]

First, everything's going well so far. We're getting some good prompts in, and there are some that I can't wait to see someone write--thank you to everyone who's thought some up. Some things I should make clearer about prompts: the phrase/word/idea/lyrics is not optional, and I reserve the right to add one if you don't provide one. Also, the plot element shouldn't be so detailed as to map out the whole story. The point is to give the authors inspiration.

examples:
PT, Owen: What he thought of Anakin, the one time they met -- family and blood
OT, General Madine: learning about the 2nd Death Star--fortune favors the bold
EU, Mara/Luke: The honeymoon - this wasn't what I had in mind.

Also, there are a lot of time travel requests, particularly in the EU prompts. I love a good time travel fic myself, but there are many other interesting things the characters could be doing, yes?

Keep the prompts coming, and spread the word!

*raises hand* Question! So with last year's unused prompts, should we copy/paste those to the new post and add that at the end? I thought you already had those saved to be used...?

Really, most of them are fine; easily modified so that a plot point becomes the phrase/idea, and the original prompt call had slightly different specs so I wasn't worrying about them. (You're more than welcome to repost them in the new format if you prefer instead of having me tweak them.) It's just the new ones coming in now that I worry about.

Okay, cool. If you're not worried about those then I'm not either. Some of those people probably aren't even interested anymore, but if they have cool ideas they might spark some fun fanwork anyway, right?
