Prompting Part XXXV


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.

Fill: The IKEA Experience 1/?

“Remind me again why we're here.”

“Come on, our case is all wrapped up, and it's not like you've got anything else to do.”

“Yes, I'm aware that I have nothing else to do, but honestly John, IKEA? Why would we need to go there?”

“Apparently, it's the biggest one in the UK, and you know, it's IKEA! Everyone loves IKEA.”

“I've never been.”

“And that is exactly why we should be here. It's the IKEA experience!”

“Fine. Hopefully it'll stave off the boredom.”

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

“Ooh Sherlock, we have to go to the restaurant first.”

“Why? Surely you're not hungry again, you forced us to stop and eat only 3 hours ago.”

“Yes, well, we might not be able to find the restaurant again for a while, and it's here now. You should try the meatballs.”

“Wait, why wouldn't we be able to find it? It's right here next to the entrance, it should be easy to find.”

“Wow, you really haven't been to IKEA before have you?”

“As I told you before, no, I haven't.”

“Just trust me Sherlock. Let's go.”

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

“See, aren't these meatballs good? They're Swedish apparently.”

“Yes, not bad I suppose. I actually recall an article in the papers a while back about horse meat being identified in IKEA meatballs.”

“...Sherlock.”

“Yes?”

“Shut up.”

“Very well.”

“....”

“....John? Are you going to eat the rest of those?”

“You can have the rest of them, I've suddenly lost my appetite. They were less than 3 quid anyways.”

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

“Wow, look at all of this jam.”

“Yes John, there is jam. Your point?”

“There's just... a lot of jam.”

“You have been to Tesco's, have you not?”

“Look at this one! Um... Sailt Ha-jorton.”

“I'm assuming you mean Sylt Hjortron.”

“Right, what does it even mean? I don't recognize those berries.”

“Rubus chamaemorus, or cloudberries. They aren't the most common of the berry family I suppose.”

“We should grab a couple of jars for the flat, it sounds good.”

“John.”

“Hmm?”

“I hardly think we need two of each kind of jam. Plus, we already have three jars of strawberry jam back home.”

“...Home?”

“What was that?”

“Nothing, I didn't say anything.”

“Why are you smiling now?”

“No reason. Come on, why don't we explore somewhere else?”

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

This is just a little experiment with the all-dialogue format, so I hope you enjoy it. I feel kind of bad because I took a bit of artistic license. The IKEA in Croydon doesn't actually carry the cloudberry jam, none of the UK locations do actually, only the US ones do. It just fit in with my story better, so I hope you can forgive this small liberty!

OP here!
"Wow, look at all of this jam.” I laughed so hard at this, it just...my god it's perfect and I am enjoying myself thoroughly. Whatever type of jam it am be ( and I agree it fits!) All dialogue is so fun to read too. You are really cheering me up
