  • "OSA Drabble Challenge #55: Farming" by Robbie

    Started 24 Apr 2006: Ended Mon May 01, 2006 7:00 pm

    "OSA Drabble Challenge #55: Farming"

    (Note: Inspired by quote, "You make hay while the sun shines; weed requires a good hydroponic light in a well ventilated cupboard.") Since the context of the original quote was funny, a humour piece might lend itself to this topic. Feel free to use "farming" as literal or metaphorical.

    Fic must be 100 words, no more, no less. Deadline will be next Monday, so 1 May. A new drabble challenge will be posted every week.

  • "We Meet Again" by NancyBrooke

    Started 18 Apr 2006: Ended Tue May 30, 2006 7:00 pm

    Either for a drabble, or long form: "We meet again." So many characters meet for the first time and only briefly during the quest, then are reunited in Minas Tirith [or elsewhere]. How might first impressions be revisited, revised? What would those characters have to say to one another?

    **Note that this CAN be a drabble, but it doesn't have to be. Heck, it could even be multichapter.**

    Due at the end of May 2006. If your story morphs into something longer, that deadline can be extended indefinitely. Just let a challenge admin know.
