Trading stories for words

Dear creative forum members,

I need your help. Some time ago, some of you collected a list of words, for the topics "What Sherlock likes about John" (all words started with P for...some reason...ahem ) and "What John likes about Sherlock" (all words started with E).
It resulted in two chapters of a story. The first chaper has all the words form the "-word list in it, the second one (yes, you can imagine it already) included all the words from the E-word-list. Here is is:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9301603/1/Private-Ponderings

For the next chapter I need your help once more. I'm looking for more words, this time staring with M. The topic of the list: "What John thinks, feels or does after the fall". Needles to say that the next chapter will be post-Reichenbach...
Please PM me your words until tomorrow, 28th May 11:00 a.m.

You will be rewarded with a complete list of all words (a non-explicit version if you like) via PM.

And there it is again - the word with M which I will never again forget.

Re: Trading stories for words

Thanks so far, what a wonderful sad list of words! I need to sort what we've got so far, but it looks like more than one of you sent "mourn".

Keep it going!

Re: Trading stories for words

​ I just posted the link to the story on AO3. No names or indiscretions, I just mentioned the forum. And I have only 5 followers anyway but it was a try. I can take it down anytime.

Re: Trading stories for words

No, it's great.

"Private Ponderings" has only two kudos less than "Soldiering on..." I'm not quire sure how to feel ablout it

Re: Trading stories for words

Enjoy it. Don't worry. Of course there's much more effort and sweat in Soldiering because it's longer and  has more plot to it and all that - but making a coherent and readable story out of a jumble of words is not a small achievement either.

Re: Trading stories for words

M is one of my favorite letters. I'll think of some words today, but I fear the most important ones are already mentioned.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Falling is just like flying, except there’s a more permanent destination."

"Sherlock Holmes is a great man, and I think one day—if we’re very very lucky—he might even be a good one."

"Would you like to-"
"-have dinner?"
"-solve crimes?"
"Oh"

Re: Trading stories for words

Seems I'm late to the M party (stupid day job...).
Anyway, I will try to come up with some contributions to the list.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."


I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

Re: Trading stories for words


Lovely list, Tobe. I'm not going to tell you how many words you've already collected.

Just one comment: There is a disturbingly low amount of R-rated explicit words on it... Just saying!
