I'm excited for this one! Though, I'm excited for all of them. ^.^; This time I think I'd like to do something with either Haibara or Hakuba. I don't get to write much Ai-chan, but I absolutely adore her, so that's what I'm thinking. But then I have all of this super awesome headcanon for Haku-chan that would be good for this theme too, so... Hmm... Indecision. Which one do you think people would rather hear about?

My idea is for Ai-chan, but my first ideas rarely work out, so we'll see how it goes. In any case, I'm predicting a lot of introspective/angst pieces. Hopefully I'll be able to come up with something more cheerful.

Have an idea already. Again, slightly modified from an idea I already had. Might get it out by Tuesday or Wednesday.
It's going to feature a pretty obscure character, so I advise you fellows to brush up on your knowledge of the anime/manga.

*Cocks head to side* Obscure? How obscure? Are we talking a member of the police or an Organization minor character? Or even more obscure as in one of the characters from a previous case? Who are you going to be writing about, Dr. House?

Hey, I have an idea for this one! Let's just hope I'll be able to get it finished in time . . . *shrugs* I anticipate it being short (*already starts doubting as more ideas pop into mind*), and spring break starts the last week of March, so . . .

*laughs loudly* And my inspiration for this theme will be a Fallout Boy song. I've got a good idea, but let's see if I can fit it into 5k words, or if I have to go with a backup plan...

*Eyes light up* Which one?
...Incidentally, "Alone Together" is now stuck in my head. Probably because of the contest theme, you mentioning Fall Out Boy, and the fact that Haku-chan's going to be singing that song next in FLL.

Pffft, that's the song I'm thinking of. Although it doesn't make much of a difference when my entire writing playlist consists of FOB and Panic, haha.

Oop - look at me. I've just thought up another, even *more* depressing story idea for the theme. Decisions, decisions...

I'm predicting a heavy rainfall of angst this April XD Well you know what they say about April showers, right? After this theme, I think I'll have to start writing some fluffier May flowers... And on another note, immortal Kaito, anybody? No, just me? Oh well.
