Green Fairy, Dutch Courage, Aphrodisiac, Poetic Muse: Alcohol. This week we take our inspiration from the bottle (and NeumeIndil) and drive ourselves to drink, that loosener of tongues, of morals and of clothing. It may just be sugar, water and yeast but it has inspired gods, poets and would-be suitors since time immemorial. Let’s see how it can inspire you to drabbling – not dribbling – about
Alcoholic Inspiration

'Twenty-one!' said Gimli.
'Good!' said Legolas. 'But my count is now two dozen. It has been knife-work up here.'
This week, how about a little “Friendly Competition?” Whether it’s the best friend who spurs us to new feats, the ‘Frenemy’ who goads us into something we’d never do otherwise, good old sibling rivalry, or OSA’s Weekly Drabble Challenges friendly competition can take many forms and have good and bad outcomes.
So, show me what you’ve got! I double dog dare you.

"OSA Drabble Challenge #123: Fall Down" by NancyBrooke
Started 02 Nov 2009: Ended Sun Nov 15, 2009 11:00 pm
In the words of Willie Wonka “strike that; reverse it.” If Fall can be crystaline and cozy, it can also be damp, dank and depressing. So, the challenge for this week is to drabble the down side of the season. Or, contrariwise, to take things less literally and drabble about an accident, or a let down. Enjoy!
Fic may be 100, 200, or 300 words. Deadline will be in two weeks on Monday, November 16, 2009.

"Every Flavor Beans All-Fandom Challenge" by NeumeIndil
Started 29 May 2009: Ended Fri Jul 31, 2009 9:00 pm
Ever wondered what would happen if Scotty accidentally beamed Kirk back to the Academy? Or maybe you’ve wondered what Mal and the rest of Serenity’s crew thought the evening of Wash and Mr. Universe’s funeral.
For the All-Fandom Challenge, your options are many, but the task is simple: write a 300 (or more) word story for a fandom you enjoy, but haven’t written in (much) yet, using a chosen set of prompts (see below). So Ringers, it’s time to boldly go where no elf-lover has gone before. Browncoats should be advised that it’s not lupus, and if you got LOST, maybe Mulder and Scully can show you that the truth is out there.
For a complete description and timeline please see the Official Announcement in the bunny forum.
Questions may be directed to the organizers through PM, email or post here to the forum.

“Happy loving couples make it look so easy, Happy Loving Couples always talk so kind …”
Or do they? Every fandom has them: the lovers who, though they might squabble and squirm, know deep in their souls they are meant to be together for eternity and beyond. Yeah, you know who they are: Aragorn and Arwen, Buffy and Angel, Scully and Mulder, Mal and Inara. They’re the couples who make us love to watch and keep us turning that next page – will they? Won’t they? Will they? Won’t they? They’re:
