hep ~ !

well it's prolly the height of tacky to sequester myself away and not read my flist all day long, then come on and post a request for help from all my lovely flisters ~ but i promise i will try to get reading and catch up as soon as i can.

my request? i'm trolling for prompts.

i have been madly coding all morning, so i am a bit in "mad scientist" mode. having reinstalled nucleus at my lookingland site, i have created an all-new home for Reconstruction and have figured out how to syndicate it to lj. now i just need content. content ~ ! mwhahahahaahaha.

which is where you all come in. what sort of content do you want to see?

post one or more of the following:

• a word (blue, scowl, geranium)
• an image (a falling flower, a dead animal, strange rain)
• the context of a scene (a murder, a birthday, an argument).
• an evocative photo or piece of artwork (nothing tooooo specific).
• a question.

if it helps to know, this story takes place in america in roughly the 50-year period between 1844 and 1894. knowledge of history is not required, but if you have some, feel free to wield it!

there are no rules as to what you can suggest. themes in this story revolve around war/peace, life/death, love/sex, faith/religion, the idea of wholeness (literally and spiritually), and trust (you know, all the biggies!).

i will draw as many of your suggestions ~ all ~ if i can, in context of this project, and post them as i create them. in essence, you are going to help determine the way in which the story is told.

if you think you can't come up with something "brilliant", just post the first thing that comes to mind. sometimes your first impulse is the most provocative!
