Never Again

I am never signing up for something that I don’t know the prompt I’m going to have to write ever again. I’ve got this Norrington fic assignment thing due on 1st October and I cannot get an idea from the prompts I’ve got, and I’ve been thinking about this on and off for a month. The
femgenficathon was pretty awful in this respect as well.
I just need one line. I'm not sure if this is the way it works for everyone, or if it's just me, but I find writing to be somewhat like bacterial reproduction. All I need is one sentence and it grows from there at an exponential rate in the petri-dish of my head*. Seriously, for half the fic's I've written I can point to the line that started it all. But that one line is not coming. Stupid brain.
Warning – Sport: Thankfully the All Blacks lost to South Africa last night (even though we won the tri-nations like, two weeks ago) The world cup is next year and if we keep on winning things then the populace will get into it’s head that 2007 is finally New Zealand’s year and then everyone will tempt fate and the All Blacks (who cannot handle pressure) will freak out and we will lose in the Semi-finals again. And then someone like Australia or England will win, and that will be just awful.
*I love inappropriate analogies. I just can't help myself.
