Prompts

Fills
- Fills may consist of fic, art, mixes, or whatever you feel inspired to make.
- There is no minimum or maximum length or size.
- When posting, leave your fill as a reply to the original prompt. Make sure to change the thread title to "Fill: Title of Work, Medium, Country, Century, People/Ship, Rating" so people know you've posted something.
- For fic, you may paste your work into the comment itself, or leave a link to where it's hosted elsewhere.
- For art or other multimedia works, please provide a link to where it is hosted rather than embedding it.
