Prompts and their fills

[heliopausa]

I posted a round dozen prompts in rthstewart's three-sentence ficathon, and had a great time seeing how the fills came out! Thank you, writers.

The first was: Swallows and Amazons, Nancy, more than one way to skin a cat
It was answered by marmota, with a story of a very determined Nancy struggling with a literal (defunct!) cat.

The second was: Agatha Christie; Hercule Poirot, Miss Lemon; amateur theatricals
That garnered two very pleasant and amusing fills!
One came from wellinghall, and showed Poirot pondering the implications of a theatre prop.
The other was from an anonymous player, and offered a glimpse of daily life in Poirot's office

The third prompt - Wimsey Novels (Sayers), any, financial crisis - also received two fills:
one, from adaese, was a gorgeously characteristic extract "From the diary of Honoria Lucasta, Dowager Duchess of Denver", and
one from lizzrdgirl was a tiny and wonderful scene involving Bunter, Harriet and Lord St. George.

Three more Swallows and Amazons prompts came next.
Swallows and Amazons, James Turner + Missee Lee, unexpected meeting was met by a snapshot from a breathless thriller "Running from Mainland China", by an anonymous player.
Swallows and Amazons, Roger, engine trouble was also filled by anonymous, who wrote a terrific character study of Roger being very Rogerian.
There was a fill (by learnsslowly) for the prompt Swallows and Amazons, Dick, the only way to find out, which got lost in transit, which was a pity!
But there was also a fill for it by wingedflight, an eerie, lovely snippet breathing untold possibilities.


Then came my first Narnia prompt: Narnia, the Kangaroo, any (but maybe especially how come there's a kangaroo in Narnia?).
This was met with two fills,
It began with rthstewart, who opened everything up with a wonderful creation-time story reaching between worlds
and then syrena_of_the_lake went spinning off from there with "Babbling billabong", and from there, much followed, from many different writers on many different pages! :)
syrena_of_the_lake also provided quite a different fill for the prompt, with an unexpectedly upbeat incident in wartime Spare Oom, France, 1944.


A second Narnia prompt: Narnia, Erlian, there were Giants in those days, yielded a sad, convincing sketch by syrena_of_the_lake showing the impact of Erlian's death on his young son.

I was surprised and delighted when someone picked up a prompt for a very small fandom: The Changeover (Margaret Mahy); Winter Carlisle, Miryam Carlisle; any; supertights wrote a terrific fill evoking the intense, harsh complexities of the Carlisle household.

And a prompt for Historical fiction, Edward VI, delicate negotiations was met by a small, gently humorous slice-of-life piece from archersangel.


I might put up a couple more prompts this weekend. :) In the meantime, if anyone feels like venturing into some very small fandoms, I have two prompts still unfilled:
C.S.Lewis SF Trilogy, Grace Ironwood, "she comes more near the earth than she is wont",
and
Sinbad (2012); Rina, Cook; what's cooking? -

Note to those who were so kind re: the coding yesterday: :D Thank you! and see how I have profited from your help!! You are all super!
