Hey there! Hope your January is off to a good start. :3 Welcome to this week's Lonely Prompts appreciation day. If this is your first time at comment_fic on a Sunday, you can either request previous prompts to be filled or share your recent fills for prompts. (Or do both, of course!) ✎

How to look for prompts:
We have plenty of prompts that might just nibble away at your brain today. 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? ~_^

Whichever you decide to do, prompt or fill (or both), please remember:
1. You can only request five prompts to be filled.
2. You can request no more than three prompts from a particular fandom.
3. You can, however, fill as many prompts in as many fandoms as you'd like!
4. In the subject line, be sure to say whether it is a request or a fill!
5. You must link back to wherever the prompt is in the community archive (whether filling or requesting), and, if you're filling the prompt, please post the fill as a reply to the original prompt.
6. If you are filling an "any/any" prompt, please let us know what fandom you've written it for (or if it's original!).
8. If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!
7. If you've filled any lonely prompts in the past week, this is the place to share them!
9. Finally, please remember to add your prompt fills to our AO3 collection: Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this option here.

I have some health-related goals for 2026, which include walking more and eating better, and so I thought, what better way to start down that path than by reviving my health-related community, for_your_health?!!

If you're already a member, please come back and join me!! If you'd like to become a member, please let me know.

I did not go downtown today. Instead I went back to bed after Pip left and I got the dogs in, and slept until almost 8:30am! o_O That’s pretty late for me.

I did two loads of laundry, hand-washed dishes, emptied the dishwasher, went for several walks with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter. We had leftover pulled pork for supper. We also finished the spinach dip. I’m glad I made it again to assuage my feelings of really missing it, but I don’t think I’ll make it again because of the garlic. I can only think that my sensitivity to garlic has increased as I got older. *sad face*

I tried the Christmas Spice tea today. I was curious about it, so I looked it up. The wonderful natural flavors of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and orange are blended with a rich, black tea to create a delicious holiday tea. I figured there’d be cinnamon, but I wasn’t sure what else. It’s pretty good.

I added ~900 words to my smallfandomfest fic!! I finished one of my books and read some fanfic. I watched an HGTV program and more Secrets of the Zoo.

I have been remiss in thanking two more people for their Christmas cards. pattrose and turps, thank you so much!!

Temps started out at 18.3(F) and reached 30.9. There was some wind again today, which made walking unpleasant, but also some sun, to give you false hope. *g*


Mom Update:

Mom sounded okay when I spoke to her. Sister A visited, and my brother called to say he’d be out to visit tomorrow (now today, Sunday). She didn’t throw up anything, but food sat heavy in her stomach today, which made her feel off. I should know better than to think that healing is a straight line, but I had hoped she’d continue showing improvements without back-sliding.

How did it go?

Did you finish something from days gone by?

Or did you get distracted by a new shiny?

Either way, I hope you're having a lovely new year!

(and if you're still reading, keep reading!)

Premise:

"Brilliant new vampire lore.... Spine-tingling!"
—L.J. Smith, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Vampire Diaries

Preorder now to get a deluxe limited edition of Hollow! This special-edition hardcover will include beautifully designed endpapers and sprayed edges, a gorgeous foiled cover, and a brand-new author’s note.

From TikTok sensation Celina Myers comes a fresh, intriguing novel about a woman who finds her destiny and her family after being turned into a vampire.

Mia Adair isn’t even twenty-five yet, but she’s starting to wonder if her peak has already passed. She’s spent years working at her local bookstore, a job that was supposed to be temporary. As a kid, she experienced a strange sort of fame within the paranormal community thanks to her inclusion in a book that revealed Mia’s ability to talk with the dead. But that was then, and Mia’s “gift” dried up once adolescence set in. These days, she feels like she’s nobody special.

Until she dies in a tragic car crash and reawakens as a vampire…

Forced to leave behind everything she knew, Mia must choose to live with one of two rival vampire families. The Bellamy and Sutton clans share a dark, complicated history that spans centuries. As Mia learns about their age-old traditions and extraordinary powers, along with their forbidden romances and betrayals, she’s drawn toward two very different loves. And as she feels her gift returning, more potent than ever before, Mia realizes she’ll need it to protect innocent lives—and save the only family she has left.

Review:

There are no words to describe how horrible the writing is in this book. It needs an editor badly. I don't understand why this was released in this manner, and most of the characters were not particularly impressive. The only thing this book has going for it is the stenciled edges of the novel. Other than that, skip this book completely.
