Unclaimed prompt challenge!

[geekygecko.livejournal.com]

There are currently 26 diagnoses on the prompt/tag pages that haven't been claimed yet.

So for this challenge, you can help us remedy that situation by writing a fic or drabble based on any of the prompts in the table below.  And don't forget, some of these conditions can be related, so you can snag more than one prompt at a time.

01.	Abscessed tooth	14.	Narcolepsy
02.	Bell's palsy	15.	Pericarditis
03.	Bruxism	16.	Peripheral neuropathy
04.	Carpal tunnel syndrome	17.	Phlebitis
05.	Cavity	18.	Pleurisy
06.	Chronic fatigue syndrome	19.	Pulmonary embolism
07.	DVT	20.	Seasonal affective disorder
08.	Encephalitis	21.	Sepsis
09.	Guillain-Barré	22.	Sleep apnea

Not that this is relevant in any way, shape, or form, but I think it's hilarious and kind of cool that as I was reading this, I was already singing--out loud!--the song "Narcolepsy" by Third Eye Blind! *g*

How funny!

Maybe it's a sign that you should claim that prompt. *innocently adjusts tarnished halo*

LOL! I actually considered it, but then decided that I can't imagine how I'd make a case for it, considering that (AFAIK) we've never seen any symptoms of it in Wilson.

Which reminds me: where would be a good place to ask if anyone can direct me to a fic? I read a great one a while ago where House realizes that Wilson can't recognize faces--as a disorder, long-term, not as an acute symptom--and has been managing to hide it, and I'd love to read it again. (Reading the one on the "Diagnosis" list where Wilson's been hiding his severe color blindness made me think of it; I read that one the other day, playing Title Bingo or whatever it was called.)

I'll let geekygecko answer your question about which channels to go through when asking about a fic from our community. hw_reqs is always good place.

The story you are looking for is Uncertainty (http://community.livejournal.com/sick_wilson/183623.html) by prepare4trouble.

Well, I see I'm late to the party, and that srsly_yes helped you find the fic you were looking for while I was asleep.  hw_reqs is always a good place to ask for help, but you're also welcome to post a request here.

And don't let the frustrating lack of symptoms on the show ever stop you.  It never stops us.

I'll snag pulmonary embolism.

Awesome! *does Snoopy happy dance*

I'm going to try and do a Chronic Fatigue one

[geekygecko.livejournal.com]

Yay!  And there was much rejoicing in the land! :)

Out of random curiosity, do we have to pick a prompt from the list above? I was just wondering because I haven't started to write my sick!Wilson fic yet, since I was worried that you couldn't make up a random sickness that wasn't a)already done; or b)on the prompt list.

[geekygecko.livejournal.com]

You can inflict whatever kind of illness and/or injury upon our favorite oncologist that your sick!Wilson heart desires for most of the fic challenges.

It's just that these diagnoses have been on our list of available prompts/tags for quite some time, and we thought an unclaimed prompt challenge might be a good way to encourage people to adopt them and give them a good home. :)

If you don't see a particular diagnosis that you might be interested in on the prompts/tags pages in alpha order (http://community.livejournal.com/sick_wilson/126123.html) or by category (http://community.livejournal.com/sick_wilson/160280.html), you might want to see if we have a more generic category for it.  And if not, PM me, and I'll set something up for you.

Does that help?

[cresty-on-ry.livejournal.com]

Yep, it helps. :) Thanks so much for the help. I will more than likely adopt one of those above prompts, but in the off chance that I think of something that wasn't ever on the list, I will indeed pm you.
