Canadian Politics + The West Wing plotbunny, seeking good home, coauthor, or beta
Feb. 27th, 2026 01:11 pmpetraREPORT: Mark Carney calls Canadian Men’s Hockey locker room to offer consolation RRSP advice from The Beaverton (US : The Onion :: Canada : The Beaverton) has left me wanting a conversation between the venerable-but-still-kicking former POTUS Jed Bartlet and Mark Carney, at any point in the last umpty years.
I can't write it by myself because a) I haven't watched TWW in over a decade and I was also stoned at the time, b) I have only a layperson's grasp of economics, and c) I watched and enjoyed Mark Carney's speech at Davos but that's all I know about him.
wernnaa suggested starting with a Planet Money episode to give them something to talk about, but I haven't been a regular listener in years.
Would anyone like to a) adopt, b) coauthor, or c) beta this bunny if I attempt to write it?
(Jed, in my reading, is not heterosexual because Leo McGarry is Leo McGarry, but I am not at all sure he'd hit on Carney or v.v.)

Snowdrop Day

I went to the cemetery today and it was the first warm day of spring - even the wind was warm, and all the birds were going absolutely nuts, they were so loud. The snowdrops are in full bloom everywhere and they look so incredibly lovely against the leaf litter.

Thursday :: Fables & Fairy Tales
Feb. 26th, 2026 07:27 amToday’s theme is fables and fairy tales, stories most of us grew up with in one form or another, no matter where we come from. For me, many of them came through the familiar lens of Walt Disney, with their bright colors and reassuring endings. But fairy tales haven’t always been so gentle. Writers like Aesop, Oscar Wilde, and J.K. Rowling remind us that these stories often carry darker truths. Tales of Baba Yaga from Russia frightened generations of children, and even Hans Christian Andersen reportedly revised the ending of The Emperor’s New Clothes after reading it aloud to a child.
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 name and fandom's full name for ease in adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
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...
+ any, any, The Boy Who Cried Wolf
+ any, any, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
+ any, any, The Princess and the Pea
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 2026 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. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].
While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.
As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!
If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word!
