Do you see where I've been hiding in this hide-and-seek?

As a distraction from the latest medical stressors, I seem to be participating in [community profile] threesentenceficathon for the first time. It is just as well that it is not an anonymous exchange, since all three prompts [edit: +1] I have filled so far could be obviously traced to me; nonetheless they are the first creative writing of any kind I have done all year. I may copy one of them to AO3 if the recipient approves. I don't know most of the requested fandoms. The songfic component interests me. I continue to feel I am not designed for fandom generally, but I am enjoying the experiment. I got out of the house before sunset and after a squall of rain which cleared just in time for clouds in the east crumbling like embers and piling up in the west like wet-inked mountains at the end of the street. Hestia has been sticking close to [personal profile] spatch, especially when he's in bed and she can make herself a little black challah behind his knees. I made oatmeal with goat's milk and continue not to love this year.

I always keep hoping that things will get better/easier, but [community profile] threesentenceficathon is definitely a great distraction! I was very happy to see your fills (especially the one for my prompt, which was the best--yes, I'm being very objective about this! XD) I find it's a realistic way of doing some tiny creative writing, and I especially like the "any/any" prompts, and the songfic prompts, of course!

That's so beautiful! (In a sort of coincidence, yesterday I wrote this: "and the clouds rise like mountains as the day starts with a spell, a feather on the wind, and the sea--that old pathway." I like mountain-like clouds too! <3)

ETA: I love "Freeze tag"! <3 (She also has other songs that give me noir-ish vibes, like "If you were in my movie", "New York Is A Woman", "If I Were A Weapon"... and also, there's the cover of her album "Beauty & Crime"...)

I would be cheerful to participate under conditions of less stress! Next year in 3SF?

It's a date! <3

I find the any/any + lyric combination really interesting! And at least in my case, fruitful: the line you quoted immediately evoked a film.

<3 I hope I can come up with more good "any/any + song lyrics" prompts!

I would totally watch that.

So would I! (This is the back cover--I've just remembered that, when I bought this album, the cashier looked at it and said "Suzanne Vega has nice legs", and I had to agree with her!)
