My gift to you, my awesome flist, will come on the eight days of Fic-can-ukah, which coincidentally occur on the eight nights of Hannukah.
It works like this...I will write a short ficlet for each of the eight days. And by short, I mean 300-500 words (yeah, stop laughing, please). To make this easy on me (because I know my limitations), I'm giving you the prompts, and you get to pick which prompt you want me to write and the character(s), or if it's simply writer's choice.
If you want a short outtake from a current 'verse (Wonder(ful) Years, Paladin, Vinegar Hill, Vampire World, Gloriana, Orchestration, etc.) let me know, and I will try to honor your request. Of course, if more than 8 people sign up, I will try to fill everyone's request, but I will only guarantee the first eight. Fills will be posted starting December 8th (the first night) and will run to at least December 16th. And in case you're wondering, participation is ecumenical - there is nothing inherently Jewish about Fic-can-ukah, and you don't have to be Jewish to sign up. Think of it as my masochistic version of Fandom Stocking.
PS: To those of you who may be wondering (and I'm not going to name names), RPS is a welcome request.
ETA: The guaranteed slots are filled, but please continue to request and I will fill as many as I can. And just consider this - last year, I filled 14 before throwing in the towel. I've added a few more prompts to make that happen.

Nearing MidnightWatching someone sleepWhere the road leads- A one-way ticket
A precious thing lost- The last stop before arrival
In your fantasiesThe expectation of pleasureThe seductive voices of the nightA single bedThe horizon at duskWritten in the marginPast midnight, drunk on stolen wineThe first time we metLost to memoryWhat makes him laughWe said we'd never speak of itA list of hungers- The bittersweet autumn of the body
- A collection of lies
- Walking at night through solitary streets
In your underwearThe language of fire
