Please see the most recent MOD NOTE


(updated 6 June)

Welcome everybody. How you got here I have no idea but thank you for coming and welcome again, nonetheless . As you may have gathered this is a Fic Prompting Meme dedicated solely to the hilarious and oh-so-addictive BBC Radio 4 sitcom - Cabin Pressure. I'm aiming for this to be pretty anything goes - but in order for everything to run smoothly, there are a few guidelines. Don't worry - they're not too restrictive.


FILLING GUIDELINES



As you probably all know - our meme now has it's very own database created and maintained by the great Enigel. It both catalogues each and every prompt that we post and provides links to fills. You can find it here: Google Spreadsheet

We also have a Pinboard archive which has been put in place by the lovely [personal profile] oxfordtweed in the place of our late Delicious Archive. This Archive contains a list of all the prompts this meme has to offer - you can find it here: Pinboard Archive

This is a great step forward in making our meme just a little more organised (but not too organised of course. This is Cabin Pressure) which is always a good thing.

So in order to make things easier to archive - Please nest your fills.

This can be done by either posting each part as a reply to that part's immediate predecessor, OR by replying each time to Part I OR - well you get the idea :D

It makes it simpler for Enigel and myself to link fills in a clean and clear manner. Following these guildelines will be very much appreciated guys :D

REPROMPTING



Reprompting is allowed but please include the URL of the original prompt when you do so. It will make it infinitely more easy to Archive which would make both Enigel and I very happy :)

As for everything else



  1. Be respectful to one another. Disagreements are fine, but not everything disagreeable is trolling. If you suspect someone of trolling, just ignore it. If you cannot respond to a comment without attacking or trolling someone else, keep it to yourself.

  2. No bashing prompts. It might not be your cup of tea - but obviously someone wants it enough to go to the effort of requesting it. So just scroll past it.

  3. Prompt away as much as you like guys - seriously, go wild - but please try to fill as well.

    4. NEW - If your fill includes a major element that veers from the original prompt (crossovers, established universes, kinks, et cetera), please take a few moments to check with the OP that such additions are welcome. This has caused problems in the past and it only takes a few moments of your time.
  4. Please no RPF. I'm not trying to oppress you RPF writers and enthusiasts, I would just really like to avoid any legal problems.

  5. When you post a fill (or post a new part of a WIP) please go over to the Filled Prompts Post (if it is complete) or the WIP Post (if there are still more parts to come) and, following each post's guideline's, post a link to this fill or new part.


REALLY IMPORTANT ADDENDUM



According to numerous Child Safety laws it is illegal to provide pornographic material to minors. Seeing that the majority of the stuff we have here is rather adult in nature, this Meme is consequently an 18+ zone. Failing to comply to this rule could result in the Meme getting shut down. So if you're here and you're under 18 please back button now.

+ Please do not post anything regarding minors in a sexual situation. It really doesn't matter how tasteful or crass it is, there are laws that classify that sort of thing as child pornography and as such, I'm afraid we're going to have to go with the attitude that safe is better than sorry.

It really is VERY important that these rules are upheld as the consequences are severe.

Other than that - go crazy guys. Any problems please just message me and I'll try my best to work it out.

“How are you doing, Arthur?”

“My head’s still feeling a little squishy. But Skipper and Douglas have been keeping me company.”

“Well, now they’re going to go back to the jobs I hired them for, so I’m in charge again.”

“Brilliant…Um, Mum?”

“Yes, Arthur.”

“Could you maybe tell me that story? You know the one, with all of the little fuzzy geese?”

“Can I assume that you are misremembering your waterfowl, and are referring to ‘The Ugly Duckling’?”

“Yeah, that one! Except remember how you used to tell it when I was a kid?”

“Ah yes, how could I the long legacy of ‘The Stupid Duckling’.”

“Could you tell it like that again?”

“Of course. But don’t relax too much, Arthur. We still have a lot of hours to go before you can go to sleep.”

“I know. I’m just getting comfy.”

“Hmm. Time was you didn’t need to bend yourself in two just to put your head on my shoulder. How the years do fly…”

“Mum, the story?”

“Alright, alright, impatient boy. There once was a duckling, who all the other ducklings said was stupid. But this duckling had a different way of looking at the world, and-…”

-/-
-/-

“Aaaand, post landing checks complete!”

“Alright. Now you two get your paperwork done, and I am going to get our cranky head-trauma victim to the hospital for a follow-up check. One of you does the hoovering.”

“Such is the life of the gallant pilots.”

“Don’t get smart with me, Douglas. It has been a long flight for all of us.”

“But didn’t the two of you make such a cute tableau. The hulking man-child listening to tales from his Mummy.”

“Watch your mouth. And mark my words, when Elizabeth gets older, you are going to miss it.”

“…Fair point. There is nothing quite like weaving a good bedtime story.”

Their slumber parties in the air would be a little stilted, because someone always needs to be flying, but get them on the ground and it would be a blast!

And I do like that Carolyn has her sweet moments with Arthur, when for a moment you can see how much she cares for her adorable little idiot.

Thanks for reviewing!

He seems a little too tightly wound to deal with ghost stories (or pull off a good one himself). Glad you liked it!

Everything in this story made me either giggle or go "awww."

I know, I ended up realizing how cute I had made it only at the end, but I love Carolyn and Arthur's relationship. Besides, there's no one like Mum to take care of you when you're sick or hurt.

Thanks for reviewing!

Thank you! I don't write nearly enough Carolyn, but her voice is so much fun to try out. Plus I love giving her a sweet moment with her son; they've been through a lot together.

Thanks for the great review!

I was considering keeping it "The Ugly Duckling", but I didn't think that Arthur as a child would be the most worried about his looks. So Carolyn adapted it for his needs. (It's also my headcanon that when Martin looks after his nieces/nephews, he always tells "The Little Engine that Could" because it resonates with him so much.)

Thanks for reviewing!

I wanted to write a proper comment to tell you how much I've loved it, but I can't seem to find any better words than "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" because the third part is the sweetest thing ever. <3
