Hey there! :3 Hope you've got your thinking caps on, because it's time for our weekly Free for All. There are no themes to follow for prompts or fills. Btw, if you perhaps missed a prompt theme that you liked, or you've had any ideas that didn't really work with Tuesday's or Thursday's posts, then today's your chance to prompt 'em. Be free, and have fun! ✎

Just a few rules:
1. No more than five prompts in a row.
2. No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
3. Use the character's full name and the fandom's full name for ease in adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
4. No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
5. If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
6. If your story has possible triggers, please warn for them in the subject line!

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

Are today's prompts not catching your eye? No worries, because we have plenty of older prompts that just might do the trick! 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? ~_^

We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection.

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


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.

Today we went up to the town-wide rummage sales in Arthur. The weather was pretty good -- quite warm, but cloudy with a brisk breeze. It started spitting rain on the way up, but that quit after just a minute.

Owls Found Thriving in Abandoned Coal Mine as Wildlife Reclaims Industrial Heritage Site

New photos show owls and wildlife reclaiming an abandoned coal mine 50 years after it closed.

The Chatterley Whitfield mine in Staffordshire, England, last produced coal in 1976.

Now, a half-century later, the son of a coal miner who worked there has returned to document nature’s return.

Today is mostly cloudy and quite warm.

I fed the birds. I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 6/5/26 -- I watered plants in the house yard.

EDIT 6/5/26 -- I watered plants in the new picnic table garden.

Little purple flowers are blooming in the south lot. I suspect they're from a previous application of Bee Lawn Mix, so it's likely self-heal. :D

As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.

  • 1½ cups rice
  • ½ cup barley
  • ⅛ cup candied lotus seeds
  • ⅛ cup almonds
  • ⅛ cup seedless raisins
  • ⅛ cup fresh peanuts
  • ⅛ cup large candied cherries
  • 8 strips of citron sliced very thin
  • 1½ cups sugar

Cook rice and barley together in about one quart of water.

Take a very large deep bowl or mold that has plenty of surface; arrange the eight precious fruits and nuts in some kind of pretty design at the bottom of the bowl. Now pour the rice and barley, which have been drained, into the bowl, and steam for at least an hour, until well cooked.

Turn out with design on top and serve with sauce.

Science Newsfrom research organizations

Scientists discover vast hidden structure beneath Antarctica’s ice.

A giant fan-shaped network of hidden basins has been discovered beneath East Antarctica, revealing that several well-known subglacial features are actually part of one massive geological structure. The finding sheds new light on Antarctica’s ancient tectonic history and could help scientists better understand how the ice sheet behaves today

Confusion and ‘More Chaos’ as States Implement SNAP Food Restrictions

Five states have already implemented bans on soda and candy through federal food assistance programs, with over a dozen more set to take effect this year.


Abusing poor people is popular.

The real aim is not to make people eat healthier foods, but rather to discourage people from using assistance programs. The benefits are not free, but cost a significant amount of time and energy to obtain. If they are stingy and/or restrictive, then it quickly becomes a waste of resources to chase after that pittance. Nobody wants to have to make a separate trip just for the food stamp shopping, let alone struggle to figure out what is "allowed" only to get stopped at the register because items are rejected. People will buy worse food with cash which can purchase anything, or go to a food pantry.

If the government really wanted people to eat healthier foods, then it would subsidize things like spinach instead of sugarcane. Another good approach would be buying healthy foods in bulk to distribute through programs or food pantries. It's not that difficult; people just don't choose to do it.

A New York Cemetery Was Hiding Over 5 Million Burrowing Bees, One of the World’s Largest Concentrations

At roughly 5.5 million, a colony of ground-nesting bees that scientists discovered under a New York cemetery may be one of the largest bee aggregations ever documented.

Subsequent research showed that the bees have likely lived there for more than 100 years, thriving in the cemetery’s undisturbed sandy soil—an incredible discovery

Today is mostly sunny and warm.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 6/4/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 6/4/26 -- I sprayed weeds in the prairie garden.

Black raspberries are ripening.  Blackberries have green fruit.

EDIT 6/4/26 -- I potted up the giant African marigolds.

EDIT 6/4/26 -- I watered the patio plants and barrel garden.

EDIT 6/4/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

I've seen a fox squirrel.

EDIT 6/4/26 -- I picked a handful of black raspberries along the edge of the prairie garden.

EDIT 6/4/26 -- I watered the new picnic table garden.

EDIT 6/4/26 -- After sunset, we went out skywatching.  We saw Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury in a line. \o/

At least 2 bats were out tonight, skimming along the edges of the yard and up the driveway.  There were more fireflies, surprising given how dry it's been recently, but I am happy to see them.

As it is now dark, I am done for the night.

Hi and happy Thursday! ✨ ^.^ Come on in and pull up a chair! Make yourself comfortable, because...

Today's theme is immortality (or something like it). No matter the life expectancy of your characters, it's likely that they want to "live on" in some form or fashion. Actually living forever, existing in the memories of those they know, being remembered by history centuries or millennia later... Or, y'know, maybe they can't die and would like to know what they're missing. Let's explore what it means to be immortalized, whether by natural or supernatural means.

Feel free to add specifics to your prompts, like whether you'd prefer a gen fill over something shippy, or if you have a squick or trigger you hope to avoid. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are always welcome. ~_^

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. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
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 things started...
+ Star Wars, any Force ghost (+/ any), sensing and being sensed by the living
+ Guilty Gear, Axl Low and/or Raven (+/ any), all the time in the world
+ author's choice, any (+/ any), becoming part of a legend in which their real name isn't a known or remembered detail of their story

We are on AO3! 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 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!

A brief update today because my brain is sluggish.

I managed to do some writing for the first time in a month. It's nothing for submission or anything, just a little story for a character I roleplay with my partner, but I think that was good for me. It scratches the same sort of itch that writing fanfic does, and I find that if I keep up doing these kinds of stories alongside the stuff I write for submission, I'm a much happier person.

Tomorrow should be Going Into The World and I'm a little nervous for it. It'll be the most significant amount of walking I'll have done since breaking my toes, so yeah. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
