Random prompts anyone?

[caffienekitty]

I have a nifty book called "The Complete Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook". I realized while looking something up tonight that most of it makes for great fic prompts. So, if anyone wants an entirely random prompt that ranges from mortal danger to extreme crack, here's what to do:

Comment with a number (or a few (Maximum of five) numbers if you want options) between 24 and 507, and I'll let you know what the subject of that page is. Or if you have access to a copy, look it up yourself. What you do with what you get is entirely up to you.

Any takers?

No promises on getting anything accomplished with it, but . . . let's go with 194, 238, 96, 70, and 506.

Yeah, I picked five. I LIKE OPTIONS.

[caffienekitty]

*chortles evilly*

194. "How to survive if you are buried alive"

238. "How to vomit correctly." (No. Really.)

96. The tail end of "How to jump rooftop to rooftop"

70. "How to escape from a bear."

506. The "There is no Santa Claus" speech.

Bonus points if you use them all in the same fic?

Oh man, said fic would be EPIC.

We'll see what I manage to come up with.

I am going to match these up with my still open snapshots prompts so I think this will become crack.

I take uhm 24, 58, 99, 106, 180, 236 and 333 and please 2 barrels of spare time.

The sad part? I already know how to repair cakes. My mother used to make wedding cakes on the side and I was the poor schmuck who ended up stuck in the back seat making sure the damn things didn't shift during transport. :)

190. Any workplace, or specifically one I've been employed at? :)

[caffienekitty]

Entirely up to you. Real or metaphorical lion cage and who you want in there as bait/distraction, also up to you. ;-)

[ciaranbochna.livejournal.com]

Oh lordy I want that book..lmao I also want to escape the board meeting Sat and cure insomnia, ah well.

Sorry, but I don't think I have the skills to write anything, but look forward to results:)

Sorry, but I don't think I have the skills to write anything

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude! Come on! You know I know you do! Give it a shot, even if you never ever show it to anyone. :-D

[aescu]

Oh... I shouldn't have read that, I'm exploding with ideas right now and too much other stuff to do O_o
333 + 5.08 + Dean/Sam/Cas as Al Bundy? weird...

[ciaranbochna.livejournal.com]

Errr.....maybe I will do it and it can gather dust in a journal;)

I did buy a compilation of Worst Case Scenario from J today though--had a cd rom with the complete set of books on it too...lol Might even read some if the icepick feeling in my eyes goes away:P

Still doing this? Um: 157, 26, 87, 159, 30

[caffienekitty]

Sure, why not!

157: How to escape from a sinking car (Sub section; How to avoid breaking through the ice)

26: How to fend off a shark (Sub section; Three kinds of shark attacks - "Hit and Run", "Bump and bite" and"Sneak")

87: How to treat a scorpion sting

159: How to escape from the trunk of a car

30: How to escape from a giant octopus.

Those actually all almost fit together naturally, if you leave out the ice part and have the scorpion on the beach. Someone's having a bad day at the seaside. XD
