Finished my Chocolate Box fic, very proud. Now to write some treats ... I love the way the Original Works stuff has really taken off. Probably there are some who are annoyed about it - it's kind of antithetical to the point of a fanfiction exchange - but there's really nothing else out there for prompting/exchanging very short, emotionally-charged original fiction. And I love the way most of the pairings are themselves prompts without any additional information! E.g.:

Aging Male Operetta Singer/Male Light Designer Who Makes Him Look Divine
Arrogant Empress in Exile/Sensible Female Foreign Mercenary She's Hired to Protect Her
Bloodthirsty Female Warrior/Gentle Male Mage She's Attempting To Court
Charming Princess/Her Gruff Guardswoman Who Tries Hard Not to Seem Too Devoted
Dashing Highwayman/Nobleman Who Is In Fact The King In Disguise

Like, goshdarnit, you folks are cute.
