A plea to my F-listies!

[dizzojay]

My muse is on strike.

No really, there's no point in sugarcoating the fact; my muse, the idle little cow, has downed tools and is flatly refusing to earn her keep.

The fact is, with the exception of my Spn-Big-Pretzel spring Fic Exchange story and my Summergen story, I've been virtually incapable of writing anything other than drabbles all year.  I did manage a multi-chapter story in the first couple of months of 2015 but that was like pulling teeth.

So, I say again, my muse is on strike and it's pissing me off royally!

This is where you come in.  You're my wonderful F-listies, and you know the sort of stories I like to write:

I'm a hurt/comfort girl
I love humorous stories
Dean
I normally write gen, although I would never rule out slash if that's what someone wanted.  My only proviso is that I prefer to write Dean-centric stories).  So I'm asking you to give me ideas, prompts, wishes, plot-bunnies ... whatever you want to call them ... please help me give my muse the kick up the arse that she deserves!

I want to get back to writing!!!

Anything sad with wee!Dean? They're my weakness? Like John forgetting his birthday? Or him starving himself so Sam can eat? Him trying to make baby!Sammy's birthday awesome but he messes it up - burns the cat/steals the wrong toy - because he's just a baby himself?

No pressure...only if you want some ideas?

How about something from those weeks in S7 when Dean was in that leg cast? I'd say the early days, when he, Sam, and Bobby were all getting used to Dean wearing one, and he probably needed help with everything: getting comfortable sleeping or sitting, making it to the bathroom, etc. And of course, the skin itches like hell under the cast. I'm guessing this isn't the first time Dean's had a broken bone, but that was probably the first time it's been his leg, and he wasn't able to get up and go for a drive or a drink anytime he felt like it. I'm sure Dean's stir craziness would eventually drive Sam and Bobby up the wall, especially if they're trying to focus on learning about Leviathans.

Hope that stirs your muse. :)

Why not head over to the Dean love wish thing on Hoodie Time and grant someone's wish? That way you kick start you muse and do someone a good turn at the same time - and it would give you incentive to finish it too!

XD Great minds!

There are some good prompts here: http://hoodie-time.livejournal.com/393050.html

As for me...

Dean is stuck in a fevered dream where is father is berating him for letting Sammy get killed. Sam (Person of your choice) tries to reassure Dean that Sam is alive and that Dean is a good brother who always looked out for him while trying to get the fever to drop.

Yeah... I kind of suck at h/c prompts.

Maybe Dean's reaction to Bobby's death, with Sam and Dean comforting each other. It took them weeks to recover from that. Seeing it from Dean's perspective would be a good story.

Dean is diagnosed with diabetes, and Sam tries to make him a sugar-free pie.

I'm the worst at prompting :)

[vansgroi.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding?? I would love to give you some prompts!

Dean is severely sleep deprived.
Dean gets severely dehydrated and/or hyperthermic.
A demented psychic randomly targets Dean and torments him. Kinda like when Andy was forcing visions in Dean's head about Cold Oak.

I can email you some more if you want me to.

Dean becomes Gluten Intolerant and he and Sam have to adjust his diet.

Dean thinking about all the things Henrickson said wile he and Sam were in the jail cell.

And the muse strikes out again! What is with the local Muse community keep downing tools! *hugs*

How about a Dean-centric celebration story, so an anniversary that they both celebrate but we never see? Something that to anyone else would make NO sense but to them is important1 :D

As you love Dean and Arthurian legends, what about sending him back in time to the court of King Arthur - a bit like Mark Twain's 'Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court'! He's already tried to wield Excalibur! Sam could either be with him or desperately trying to retrieve him.

Have you considered sending them back to Great Britain? Like post the Jack the Ripper hunt? Maybe another British myth/legend/unsolved mystery...
