prompt table challenge - now closed to new claims

[fsf_mod]

THE CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW CLAIMS

Time for the prompt table challenge!

A few of the prompts are full or partial poems, but a lot are fragments because that's most of what Sappho's surviving work is.

I have used the Anne Carson translations from If Not, Winter. If you'd like to substitute your preferred translation or would like to use Sappho poems/fragments other than the ones I've selected as your prompts, then feel free, but please provide a link to the translation or poems/fragments you've chosen.

Comments

[fresh_brainss]

Yay, so excited to see this! I'd like to claim the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

[fsf_mod]

First claim! And I'm excited that you're excited, I'll put you on the list!

[muccamukk]

I think it'll have to be a general claim for me. I'm too much of a butterfly these days. But this is a great list!

[fsf_mod]

Thank you, I'm so glad you like it! And general it is. :)

[rosage]

I'd like to make a general claim, please!

[fsf_mod]

Awesome, I'll put you on the list!

[kore]

What beautiful prompts! Can I do MCU too, since someone else already claimed it?

[fsf_mod]

I'm glad you like them! It really was an absolute delight looking through all those lovely words to pick the prompts.

And yes, more than one person can claim the same thing (which should be in the rules, I will fix that!) so it's yours. :)

[samuraiter]

*raises hand*

General claim for me, too. Another butterfly here.

[fsf_mod]

Butterflies are good! And it's yours. :)

[delacourtings]

What lovely prompts!

I'd like to claim Teen Wolf, pretty please.

[fsf_mod]

I was very happy when Sappho won the poll because it was seriously a joy to compile them! And Teen Wolf is yours.

[possibilityleft]

General claim, please!

[fsf_mod]

All yours!

[st_aurafina]

Oh, please put me down for a general claim? What a great bunch of prompts!

[fsf_mod]

So many lovely words, I hope they inspire everyone! And a general claim is all yours. :)

[nurseshark]

I'd love to make a general claim, please!

[fsf_mod]

A general claim it is, adding you now!

[straightforwardly]

I'd also like to make a general claim. ♥

[fsf_mod]

All yours! :)

[ilthit]

Another general claim, please! I hope when my life is more ordered, I can claim an actual pairing or fandom in another challenge... Right now a general claim seems the most feasible.

[fsf_mod]

A general claim gives you way more options, definitely. And you can always change it if you find yourself being drawn to one thing! But yes, all yours. :)

[milkbutnotsugar]

These prompts are beautiful! Can I claim a general table, please?

[fsf_mod]

Sappho really did write the most gorgeous stuff! And a general claim is all yours. :)

[anaraine]

Oooh. I think I'll go with a general fandom claim for Katekyou Hitman Reborn, pretty please!

[fsf_mod]

It's all yours, have fun with it!

[rosy_maple_moth]

I'd like to sign up with a general claim, please!

I love Sappho and Anne Carson's translations, so this is an awesome challenge. :)

[fsf_mod]

It's all yours. :)

Sappho is amazing and oh yes, Carson's translations are so beautifully done!

[amoama]

Can I sign up for a general claim please? This is such a lovely idea. <3

[fsf_mod]

I'm glad you like it! And a general claim is all yours. :)

[thelinksthatconnectus]

I'd like to make a claim for Steven Universe.

[fsf_mod]

All yours, I'll add the claim now!

[peaceforthenight]

I think I'll have a general claim for this :)

[fsf_mod]

All yours, good luck! :)

[merryghoul]

Can I claim River Song from Doctor Who?

[fsf_mod]

She's all yours! :)

[copernicus]

I'm interested in signing up for a general claim, but I'd like to make sure - fics written for this challenge don't have to also fill weekly challenges, right?

[fsf_mod]

That is indeed right, this challenge is completely separate from the weekly prompts. :)

[suicix]

I'm feeling very inspired by these prompts! I'd like to make a fandom claim for World Wrestling Entertainment/WWE, please.

[fsf_mod]

Sappho is definitely inspiring! And it's all yours, I'll add you to the list now. :)

[skiesofpluto]

This is a fantastic challenge. (And a good motivation to actually read some Sappho translations.) I would like to claim it for general Disney hodgepodge fandom, which I am apparently writing now, as of this week :P thank you!

[fsf_mod]

I'm glad you like it! And the claim is all yours, I'll add you to the list now. :)

[redactedjones]

Hi, I would like to claim Little Mix rpf, please!

[fsf_mod]

Hi there, and it is yours, good luck!

[lavendre]

This is such an awesome challenge, I wish I had jumped on it sooner. Could I make a general claim please? :D

[fsf_mod]

Plenty of time still left! And a general claim is all yours. :)

[crossfortune]

I'd like to make a general claim, please.

[fsf_mod]

All yours, I'll add it now!

[selenicdistance]

I'd like to make a general claim, if that's still alright!

[fsf_mod]

That is definitely alright! I'll add you to the claims list now. :)
