Help!! I need prompts!
Appealing for help here. I need to kick my writing muse into gear so I went looking for a prompt table/bingo card to use as a jumping off point and failed miserably. I found plenty of prompt communities/tables/cards but all were depressing, angst ridden prompts or romantic (mostly gen writer here) or violent or or or....
None of it was what I was looking for. I want prompts for little (100-300 words most likely) fluffy/cracky/sweet oneshots, not deep complicated plotty stories.
So I decided to make my own card, but I need help. I'm looking for happy, fluffy prompts of one or two words along the lines of puppies, sea breezes, free hugs, dandelions, etc etc etc. With luck I'll get between 20-25 together in some sort of card/table and then use them to kick off the muse and write.
Even if the resulting fics aren't crossposted anywhere nor shared with anyone but my flist, it will be nice to be writing again, so help a frustrated writer out?
And no, my Merlin fic I mentioned earlier isn't abandoned, it's just... proving difficult.

"That's not what it's meant for."
"I was saving that for lunch!"
This was the third time in a week.
Finally the box gave way.
"Not in the begonias!"
"Did you really mean for that to happen?"
Unfortunately, the door won.
"No, actually it's Chinese."
