"OSA Drabble Challenge # 41: Wonder and/or Exhaustion" by ghettoelleth
Started 20 Dec 2005: Ended Mon Jan 02, 2006 7:23 pm
OSA Drabble Challenge # 41: Wonder and/or Exhaustion
The suggestion for this week's drabble was originally "Exhaustion," but I've (that is, Viv has) added to it for two reasons: (1) although exhaustion is a very appropriate topic for some of us to write on during the Silly Seaon, it's a little negative and some folks may want to temper it with a more uplifting theme if they're feeling particularly festive; and (2) I won't be able to update the challenge topic next week, so this is a 2-week-er. That's right: this challenge isn't due until 2 January.
So, feel free to write on "exhaustion," "wonder," or both. Happy Holidays, All!
[Fic must be 100 words, 200 words, or 300 words. Deadline will be Monday, 2 January. A new drabble challenge will be posted every week (except for 26 Dec.).
