    Participants will have 30 days to prepare their piece and e-mail it to Nancy Brooke at nb@nancybrooke.com for assignment to and betaing by a randomly assigned challenge participant. Betas will have one week to turn the pieces around, and e-mail them back to me or to the authors. Then authors will have one week to make any desired edits and post.

    Started 18 Aug 2008: Ended Mon Sep 01, 2008 8:00 pm

    Baring the misspellings(!) - write a sincere, praising drabble about a character you normally consider not worth the ink, who you normally wouldn't spare keystrokes on. It could be humorous, smutty, ironic, tragic or gushy so long as it is sincere. You must find something nice to say or say nothing at all. (NancyBrooke suggested the challenge, but it was inspired by erinae's classic line: "His long blonde hare and assure blew I's quiet took my breathe away."Wink smiley face
