Ridiculously Specific Prompt Table: Open for Business

[cruiscin_lan]

All right, ladies and germs. Since a few of you want to jump on this crazy-ass bandwagon, here's the code for the Ridiculously Specific Prompt Table that I posted earlier. Just copy the text in the box and post it in a journal entry, your profile, your friend's brother's roommates' older cousin's bathroom wall, wherever you see fit.

<center><table border=2 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=2> <tr> <td>1.</td><td>Two characters go out on a rowboat and one of them packed sandwiches and they're egg salad sandwiches but the other one doesn't even like egg salad. Also, they feed their crusts to the ducks.</td> <td>2.</td><td>Two words: three horns.</td> <td>3.</td><td>Your main character is dressed in drag. What exactly are they wearing, and why?</td> </tr><tr> <td>4.</td><td>Write whatever the hell you want, but include the words "prodigious" and "tintinnabulation" in your story.</td> <td>5.</td><td>"What we did... it doesn't count as sex. Right?"</td> <td>6.</td><td> One of your characters got a new haircut, and it looks awful. How does everyone else react?</td> </tr><tr> <td>7.</td><td>What are your feelings about clowns? Include several clowns in a story. Why are there so many clowns? Are they all at the same place at the same time? Bonus: Make one of the clowns John Wayne Gacy. </td> <td>8.</td><td>Write a story based on your favorite lasagna recipe.</td> <td>9.</td><td>"It's about time we made good on the promise we made to each other in Juneau."</td> </tr><tr> <td>10.</td><td>What happens when your main character encounters a baby animal? And what kind of baby animal is it? I hope it's an elephant. Baby elephants are so cute.</td> <td>11.</td><td>Chlamydia? (note: the question mark is essential)</td> <td>12.</td><td>This story takes place in a forest. Put some trees in there, add some dirt. Maybe throw some birds and shit in there, too.</td> </tr><tr> <td>13.</td><td>Your two main characters are arguing in a restaurant. What did each of them order? Did they stay for dessert? Write the story from the point of view of their busboy.</td> <td>14.</td><td>Writer's choice.</td> <td>15.</td><td>Flist's choice. I hope your friends are all sadistic bastards.</td> </tr></table><br></center>

Here are some ground-rules (feel free to ignore these if you love chaos):

1. Comment if you're taking it, and feel free to provide a link in the comments if you're posting it somewhere in your journal.
2. Any and all fandoms/pairings/whatevers are welcome.
3. Write in any genre you want - crack, angst, romance, smut - it's all good!
4. Fics can be of any length, as long as they clearly incorporate the prompt somehow.
5. Share your favorite lasagna recipe.
6. Pass it along; anyone is welcome to join in the ridiculousness. You don't have to be someone on my flist or in my fandom to jump in both feet first.
7. If there's enough interest in ridiculous prompt tables, we can take over the world. Or, you know, make a separate community for ridiculous prompt tables. Whatevs. Keep me posted.

Here's the other thing: for anyone who can complete the whole prompt table, I will create for you a custom banner! It will be craptastic because my photoshop skills suck but you should wear it as a badge of honor. I will also create extra "John Wayne Gacy" and "Baby Elephant" banners for those who complete the bonus prompt portions. That last part is subject to change if someone who's more awesome volunteers to take over the image portion. Consider yourself nudged by my elbow, Photoshoppers.
In other news, I just learned how to use the "textarea" tag. And I had lasagna for dinner.
