Early, but I'm away for over a week, so I won't finish any more of my current projects.

( May crafts )

Hi, everyone! I'm templefugate, and I'll be your host again this week. Just like last week, this week we will be focusing on alphabetical prompts!

As a reminder, we are using a new posting schedule. Sundays are for Lonely Prompts and sharing the fills that you completed during the week, Tuesdays and Thursdays are for new themes and prompts, and Saturdays will remain a Free for All.

Today's theme is the letter "c". All prompts should center around a word or words starting with "c".

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ The X-Files, Dana Scully & Fox Mulder, cursed objects
+ DC, any Teen Titan, carelessness
+ Any, any F/F, caress

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community.

While the use of LJ's advanced search options is available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

If you are viewing this post on our Dreamwidth site, please know that fills posted here will not show up as comments on our LiveJournal site but you are still more than welcome to participate.

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word! [community profile] comment_fic

We've finished initial matching and have one unmatchable participant (i.e., a participant without a potential recipient). Please check the email associated with your AO3 account if your AO3 username starts with R, as we've reached out about your unmatchability. We will give 24 hours for a response before we proceed with the rest of matching.

UPDATE: Thank you, we've heard back and will proceed with the rest of matching.

There's only a week left to post your fic(s) to the collection, which means it's time for the question that has become a tradition by now: would you guys like an extension?

Let me know in the comments here (or by email or PM) if you'd like an extra week to write! It'll only happen if it's what the majority wants, so please don't hesitate to weigh in with a yes or a no. I'll edit this post with the result in two days from now, so stay tuned.

Hello there! ^_^ It's Sunday once more and a nice day for pondering over Lonely Prompts. If this is your first time at

comment_fic on a Sunday, you can either request previous prompts to be filled or share your recent fills for prompts. (Or do both, of course!) ✎

How to look for prompts:
We have plenty of prompts that might just nibble away at your brain today. You can browse through the comm's calendar archive (here on LJ or here on DW) for themed and Free For All posts, or perhaps check out Sunday posts for Lonely Prompt requests. (Or, you can be like me, and try to save interesting prompts as you see 'em... and then end up with multiple text doc files full of [themes + links + prompts] that you can easily look through and search for keywords.) Multiple fills for one prompt are welcome, by the way! Oh, and you are very likely to find some awesome fills to read as well, and wouldn't it be nice to leave a comment on those lovely little writing distractions? ~_^

Whichever you decide to do, prompt or fill (or both), please remember:
1. You can only request five prompts to be filled.
2. You can request no more than three prompts from a particular fandom.
3. You can, however, fill as many prompts in as many fandoms as you'd like!
4. In the subject line, be sure to say whether it is a request or a fill!
5. You must link back to wherever the prompt is in the community archive (whether filling or requesting), and, if you're filling the prompt, please post the fill as a reply to the original prompt.
6. If you are filling an "any/any" prompt, please let us know what fandom you've written it for (or if it's original!).
8. If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!
7. If you've filled any lonely prompts in the past week, this is the place to share them!
9. Finally, please remember to add your prompt fills to our AO3 collection: Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this option here.

A friendly reminder about our posting schedule: Themed posts for new prompts go up on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day for new prompts of any flavor. Sundays are for showing Lonely Prompts some love, whether by requesting for someone to adopt them or by sharing any fills that you've recently completed.

Title: The Trouble With Harry
Creator:

Azar
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 26,534 words
Creator's Summary: Abby's past and present collide when she and a missing Admiral they're searching for turn out to have a mutual friend--the Doctor.
Characters/Pairings: Marth Jones, Harry Sullivan, Abby Sciuto, Ducky Mallard, Ziva David, Jenny Shepard, Leon Vance, Original Characters, The Tenth Doctor, Anthony DiNozzo, Jethro Gibbs, Timothy McGee
Warnings/Notes: Crossover with NCIS

Reasons for reccing: It's definitely not necessary to be familiar with NCIS to enjoy this - I've never seen an episode. It's also not necessary to have read the series it's part of - I didn't know it was part of a series until I went to see if it was on AO3.

It's the sort of story the Doctor tends to get involved with, but what makes it extra interesting is seeing it from the point of view of both people who've never come into contact with the Doctor, and someone who previously has.

Slightly early, but I've basically achieved everything I had in my goals for 2025/26.

Goal No 1: Do a Themed Monthly Post
Posting Views from the Window every month has been fun and in particular interesting as it's shown the change in the trees over the year. My last post will be at the end of the month, so I can include views from the upcoming holiday.

Goal No 2: Accept the Unexpected
We decided at the beginning of March we'd go away for a couple of nights and would take my car. Unfortunately when I got in the car that morning a warning light came on. So we had to hurriedly move everything over to J's car. Which worked fine in the end, and the car was soon sorted once we came home - no time to do anything that morning. And The Daughter and I have booked a holiday for July 2027. I mentioned it to her as being of interest, she agreed, so we booked - all within a day.

Goal No 3: To Embrace My Personal Interests
That's gone well, although I do sometimes look at my Library Want To Read list and wonder. However, it's entirely up to me and if I want to do some of the Goodreads Seasonal Challenge, then I shall. And I have bought rather a lot of audiobooks from a recent Audible sale, but I'll get round to listening to them :)

So yes, it's been a good year. I don't always achieve all my goals, but it is pleasing when I do, especially when I will carry on with the ideas behind the goals.

We got 4 great sets thus far. But I still need sets from the following:

thesleepingbeauty.

Your sets are due April 14th, 2026 by 11:59 PM.

If you need an extension, please do not hesitate to ask. Please keep in mind.
You are also allowed to change your claim anytime during the duration of the
round if you need to.

Round 25 Signups • Round 25 Themes

I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.

Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)

We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.

You have 24 hours, as of this post, before both signups and nominations close on Sunday, April 12 @ 11:59pm Eastern Daylight time (Countdown).

As usual, there will be a 12-hour grace period after signups close during which you can ask us to add tags to your requests/offers.
