Science prompts

I'd like to pick your collective brains on something I've been contemplating.  One of the things I personally have enjoyed about writing for the Doctor Who fandom is the ability to take some real science and twist it into a story.  I've been keeping track of science-related prompts for several months.  The prompts take a variety of forms -- a Wikipedia article I stumble across, a real-time news article, a photo from APOD, top ten lists from LiveScience, etc. 

What has stumped me is what to actually do with them.  Where do I post them?  I could share in my own journal, but the audience seems somewhat limited and I'd love to get them out to a wider audience.  One of the Doctor/Rose shipper communities?  While I tend to write that pairing, I don't want to limit the creativity of the people I might share the prompts with.  I'd want to make sure that I have the all-clear from the mods of whatever comm I post them to, as not to overlap with any other prompts or step on anyone's toes.  I also don't want to annoy anyone by spamming several comms with the same group of prompts.

What it boils down to is that I'm not sure where to start, so I just haven't started at all.

I'd love your ideas on what to do here.  If you are a mod for a comm and would be interested in having me share the prompts there, let me know!

ETA:  There's also the (humbling) possibility that I will share them and ... nothing.  Is anyone interested in actually writing based on the prompts?
