Prompting Part XXXIV

S3 SPOILER POLICY
THE MEME NEEDS ARCHIVISTS!

GUIDELINES

Anon posting is not required, but most definitely allowed. If you think you recognise an anon, keep it to yourself and don’t out them. IP tracking is off, and will remain that way.

Multiple fills are encouraged, and all kinds of fills are accepted! Fic, art, vids, cosplay, interpretive dance — whatever. Go wild! :D

Don’t reprompt until TWO parts after the last posting of the prompt.

RPF (real person fic, i.e. fic involving the actors themselves) is not supported at this meme.

Concrit is welcome, but kinkshaming, hijacking, and flaming are not tolerated.

THE FILLED PROMPTS POST
When you fill a prompt, please use the appropriate Filled Prompts Post to archive your fill (there are instructions on the actual post).

If the part you wanted isn't up yet, just wait and one of the archivists will get to it, but please, once it is up, make sure you post your fills there according to the guidelines. DO NOT skip out on doing this because it seems like too much effort. If you want your fill to make it to the Delicious archive, that’s the way to do it.

Do not be afraid to ask questions about how it works if you are confused! The mods will be happy to explain.

WARNINGS/OFFENSIVE WORDING IN PROMPTS
Please consider warning for prompts that may trigger people (and also for fills, because some people read in flat view) and phrasing prompts in a manner that strives to be respectful.

Things which you might want to consider warning for include: Rape/Non-Con, Death, Suicidal Thoughts, Self-Harm, Underage Relationships, among others.

That being said, this is a kink meme. As such, there will be prompts that could offend you in a number of different ways. Not every prompt will have a trigger warning, and not every prompt will rub you the right way. If you have an issue with a specific prompt, feel free to bring it up in a discussion that takes place off the meme. However, flaming will not be tolerated regardless of origin.

You are highly encouraged to scroll past any prompt that you dislike.

Remember: be civil, be friendly, but don’t be shy!

THINGS THAT MAKE BROWSING THE MEME EASIER FOR EVERYONE
Please nest your fills. Doing so will make it easier for archivists to save your fills to the Delicious archive. Using subject lines will also help people reading the meme in flatview keep track of what’s happening. Finally, titling your fills (even if it’s something silly) will be helpful to those tracking a lot of prompts or scrolling through the meme.

PROMPT FREEZES
Depending on the rate of activity, there may or may not be a prompt freeze when a part reaches 2000 and 4500 comments. However, there will be one when it reaches 7000. After the 7000 comments freeze, a new part will be posted, and all prompting should happen on the new part.

"It's a winning ticket, John." Sherlock looked ridiculously sad.

"You just won the fucking lottery, Sherlock. How on earth can you turn this into a tragedy?"

"Now I shall have to make all sorts of legal and financial arrangements. I will be in the bloody papers. People will interview me and I will not be taken seriously when I continue to do The Work. Or even the work." He somehow managed to communicate the change in capitalisation effectively. "Or work," he continued. "Or the." He threw the ticket down in disgust.

John grabbed it off the floor.

"Sherlock, you do realize this is not a bad thing, right? And why did you even buy a ticket if you didn't want to win?"

Sherlock ignored the question.

"I will become lackadaisical now. Lestrade will think I don't need to work and will not offer me new cases. My private clients will assume I'm too busy yachting or something."

"Well, you could just... be like Batman."

"What?"

"Be like Batman, Sherlock. Bruce Wayne is hella rich, and he doesn't give up on crime fighting. He buys fancy stuff and keeps at it."

"No one knows who Batman is, John. It's a little too late to establish a secret identity."

"Sherlock Holmes would have to die then. Surely you could work something out. Fake your death. You could hire an actor to be your arch nemesis and then he could lure you up into the rooftop somewhere and pretend to kill you and then pretend to kill himself and then you would both be dead. Not dead dead though. Just, you know, dead."

"But I don't want to be Batman!"

"Why the hell not?"

"Batman was an inventor, not a scientist. I want to be Reed Richards."

"Batman was too a scientist! You want to be a scientist...go be Henry Fucking Pym, you goddamn Contrarian!" John was too mad to even make tea. "Fine. Fine. Fine, fine, fine be Reed Richards!" At least stretchy stuff could come in handy with the sex, John thought.

"Or maybe Dr Doom." Sherlock added.

"What's wrong with Reed Richards? I like Reed Richards." Damn! If he only had agreed to Reed Richards right from the start. Now he would be stuck with a metal mask over those cheekbones, and all the porn about them like "The doctor threw him to the floor and fucked him without mercy, until he cried out and came in thick ropes" would be entirely too confusing with more than one doctor. Who was the fucker and who was the fuckee? Actually, that was surprisingly easy...Sherlock would always be a fucker.

"So are you all backwards on this whole happy/sad thing then?"

"It appears so."

"Been out of the country recently?"

"No."

"Eaten any unusual foods?"

"No."

"Opened any suspicious packages?"

"N...yes...maaaaaybe."

"I thought so. I found a note on the desk that said not to touch you. Then I reread it. You touched the box, didn't you, Sherlock?"

"I touched the box, John."

"Who was the box from, Sherlock?"

"Culverton Smith"

"Culverton Smith, aka The Poisoned-Box Murderer?"

"Yes."

"Well, judging by your symptoms, I would say you have Eeyoritis. Possibly Pollyanistic Eeyoritis. Just kidding, Sherlock. I have no idea what it's called, but you are making good things bad. And possibly making bad things good. I don't think you'll die though, because you've likely had previous exposure to this, judging by your past behaviour patterns, so it won't be as severe a case. Sort of an immunity. This would be a particularly good time to have some very rough sex."

"Because I will interpret pain as pleasure."

"No, mostly because you got me thinking about Mr Fantastic and Batman. Just so we are clear, you don't mix up yes and no, right? Consent-wise?"

"Oh, will you just get on with it already?"

"Let's just use a safe word anyway. So I don't misinterpret your wails. Wails can go either way. So... what will you whisper in my ear?

"Norbury."

Can I love you? You are brilliant - mad brilliant genius and I love your crack, so pure, does things to me, you know? - can you sell me some more?Please say you have an AO3 account so I can go gorge in it, pretty please? with a cherry on top? top of a strawberry sundae? so its a bit confused but very friendly still, I can vouch for her
poor Cherry always wants to help, especially when Dr. Doom is involved, or porn - popping in at all times, meaning well...
*licks your fic and skips away*

Oh dear nonnie, my crack is very much enjoying the love, but, while I do have an AO3, regretfully have only one other story which is cracky... a three-parter which starts with "Where It's Always $18.95", continues with "Like an Alleycat in a Tuba" and concludes with "A Little Tea Porn" (as well as a version I cut down to an 1895er).
I might just put this on there as well, though I only wrote it for my dear Buttsnax who, in the words of Fat Tony, cracks me, so consistently, up. (Sorry, Buttsnax, I gave you your Batman, but I knew it would end up being Marvel in the end.) As I find I rather like crack, I might do some more.

Thank you for de-anoning for me:)I do appreciate it - and one is better than none at all -will go and read it
Thanks again for this
