Here's how it works. Claim a topic from A-Z and I'll blog about it. I'd prefer writerly subjects but if you fancy something more out there, then go for it. Claim more than one if you fancy it (or I'm unlikely to fill them all up!!)

A - Alliteration
B - Boudicca
C - Critique
D - Dinosaurs
E - Editing
F - Flirting
G - Gay/Gynocrat
H - Head Hopping
I - Influences
J - Jekyll & Hyde
K - Kids in Fiction
L - Literotica
M - Music
N - Nouns and Adjectives
O - Oxymoron
P - Penis Envy
Q - Quest endings
R - Royal Family, The
S - Skepticism
T - The Good The Bad & The Ugly
U - Underneath - what's going on beneath the surface of the plot
V - Venus Envy ... the subterranean urge that makes male writers want to write female characters, like Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina...
W - Wit
X - Xerxes
Y - Yesterdays
Z - Zelotary

PS: and ETA: I reserve the right to interpret your prompt any way I damn well please...

Hah. On Editing, s'il vous plaît. :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Ok! Thanks!

[cbpotts.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see I -- your Influences. (Literary or otherwise, your choice, but I had literary in mind when I asked)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

No probs! It's very sad that I can gab about anything....

:(

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

D: Dinosaurs

[erastes.livejournal.com]

*evil cackle*

[marquesate.livejournal.com]

X: Xerxes

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Oh dear LORD!

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

S: Skepticism

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Oh... perfect!

So many subjects.. so little LIFE....

[canarieschick.livejournal.com]

T - The good The bad & The ugly!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

*rolls eyes*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

is that T or G or B or U?

[canarieschick.livejournal.com]

whatever u want! T?

Why do you roll your eyes at my comments! You are nice to everyone else! *feels sorry for self* :-(

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Because I CAN be rude to you!

:)

[canarieschick.livejournal.com]

I love it really! :-P

[canarieschick.livejournal.com]

F - Flirting techniques! You are such a minx when we go out and have the men eating out of your hand!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

That's enough from you, trouble.

[canarieschick.livejournal.com]

charming! I've so much to say as well......

[tybokit.livejournal.com]

Y- Yesterdays

[erastes.livejournal.com]

all my trouble seemed so far aways!!!!

Thank you!

H, please.

[semioticwarrior.livejournal.com]

Head Hopping. Does that count as two? Seriously, since it seems to be such a matter of interpretation on the part of the reader, where does good old fashioned 3rd person omniscient end and the dreaded head hopping begin?

Re: H, please.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Counts as one, and ouchie. That's a sore point with all the HH done in Standish.

I know better now!

Thankee!

[ggymeta.wordpress.com (from livejournal.com)]

G - for Gay or Gynocrat...either suits me.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Both!

[megleigh.livejournal.com]

A - Alliteration
J - Jekyll and Hyde
W - Wit

I hope those are challenging enough for you. :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Hurrah and thank you!

I was starting to panic that no-one wanted to play!

-P-

[markprobst.livejournal.com]

How about P for "Penis envy"? That may tie into why so many women write under male pseudonyms.

Re: -P-

[markprobst.livejournal.com]

Or not. I just realized how chauvinistic I sounded!

Re: -P-

[erastes.livejournal.com]

i should smack you for just the IDEA of this, Mark, but I wish blog on it.

Re: -P-

[erastes.livejournal.com]

WILL blog, not wish!!

Re: -P-

[lee-rowan.livejournal.com]

P is for "Privilege" envy. I wouldn't dare skinnydip with an outie... too much like bait. 8-P

[lee-rowan.livejournal.com]

U - underneath -- what's going on below the surface level of the plot.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I like it!

[liebesdammerung.livejournal.com]

For U, how about understanding opposing viewpoints? Kind of random, but. :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Someone's nabbed U - do you want another letter? Please?

[liebesdammerung.livejournal.com]

How about K, for kids in fiction? Also, kind of random, but. There you have it.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Will do!

[mzcalypso.livejournal.com]

V = Venus Envy ... the subterranean urge that makes male writers want to write female characters, like Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

ooo - Evil!

:)

[stitchwhich.livejournal.com]

Q - "quest" endings

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Ooo - interesting!

[aunty_marion]

Well, as someone has proposed Alliteration, I think I'll go for O = Oxymoron. Also M = Music.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[suryaofvulcan.livejournal.com]

Can I play? Suggestions:

B - Boudicca
Q - Queen Victoria
R - the royal family

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Already got a Q - want another letter?

[suryaofvulcan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, OK. I'll take N - Nouns and adjectives.

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

If I can claim 2, how about

L: Literotica

and if 3

Z: Zealotry
