*ahem*

The drabble challenge is named: Solitude of Space

[Rhapsody]

Hah, we have a new drabble challenge up! Thanks to Fatiferous Poet who came up with this great drabble subject.

Drabble Challenge: Beast of Burden

The challenge description is as follows:

One of help, hindering or horror, unleash the inner Beast of Burden.

In this drabble, the writter will lay out a scene involving a fiction or non-fictional creature who aids, hinders or is indifferent (yet important) in your drabble. Perhaps a mystical and out of place creature trying to find it's way home or a much needed Dragon for Harry Potter to fight. A made up, newly discoverd beast that Mara Jade can not do without, much to her dismay.

As always, sky's the limit! See what sort story involving the beast you can create in 100 or 200 words on the nose.

Deadline is set in August, the 12th to be precise. Happy writing!

[NancyBrooke]

Must it be an actual, if not necessarily real, beast? or can it be a metaphorical beast (the monkey on the back, the broke-back camel, the bear you some days get, the cross-eyed bear )?

[Rhapsody]

Well both Inner demons or actual beasts... Have fun!

[Rhapsody]

We have a new drabble challenge! With most of the new shows starting their new seasons or with new crew members trying to blend in with an already existing crew, or with old characters leaving a show for greener pastures, we thought it would be nice to have a drabble challenge with the theme:

Beginnings.

That should stirr some muses The deadline for this challenge is set for the 2nd of September 2007. 100 or 200 words, give or take.

Happy drabbling people!

If you want to enter other (drabble) challenge that has been closed already or you are inspired by it, just let us know, we can always enter the story for you.

NEW DRABBLE TIME PEEPS!!!!!!! Thanks to Ayani!!!

"Destination: 'Any Wheres'"

Travel to and from planets, systems or simply countries/states/towns have been the focus of many a plot point in TV shows and Movies. What's the biggest challenge, romantic spot or comedic place you can come up with for this drabble? Smut and/or action encouraged!

For example: i.e. What happened in Singapore that allowed Will to be captured by Sao Fang?? We all know that Will wouldn't have gone down without a fight, so what do you think happened? Use your imagination. Anything goes...

Get them fingers cranking and brains churning (or rather, strike that and reverse the order)! Enjoy!

FAQ: Fic must be 100 or 200 words exactly, no more, no less. Deadline will be in two weeks, Saturday, 15 September 2007.

copied to the Tolkien Challenge thread:

Some ideas for future challenges, TV/Movies and/or Tolkien:

Things we keep
Things we give away

Things we hide
Things we reveal

Food for thought (and writing), I hope.

[Rhapsody]

Thanks Nancy! I think we will run with it, I can't decide for the Tolkien section though. I shall nudge Maram or Viv about that.

[Rhapsody]

Yay! Thanks to nancy's fabulous suggestions, we have a new drabble challenge up. we proudly present:

Drabble challenge #25: For Keepsakes

What would you want your character to give to another, or what would you want your character to receive to keep it? It can be anything; trust, an object, an heirloom to be passed on. Love, loyalty, a lightsabre, wisdom, a jewel... Think of the heart of the new sailor of the Flying Dutchman, what will Elizabeth do with it with Will at sea. Or what went through Digory's mind when Aslan told him to pluck a silver apple. How will Sheppard keep the faith for all of them during this unsure course they are in... you name it, for every fandom there is a bunny!

Deadline is set in two weeks in October, Sunday the 6th! Length can vary up to a max of 200 words, so muse away and enjoy!

[FatiferousPoet]

YO YO YO !!!! NEW DRABBLE - YOU MAY EVEN LIKE IT!!!

Drabble challenge #25: Family Ties



Whether you love them, like them or not.... everyone has a family. From the child orphan to the Adams. Okay, maybe *not* the Adams (as they aren't represented here on this Fan Fic...) but you get the idea!

In this drabble, lay out a scene involving love, conflict or the many other emotional adjectives that surround Family. It might be a scene at a dinner table, a married couple practing in the fine art of expanding their family or a memory or wish.

What secrets lie within the Family Ties of your character(s)?

FAQ: Fic must be 100 or 200 words exactly, no more, no less. Deadline will be Saturday, 20 October 2007.

[Viv]

So ... if Family Ties closed? If so, is there a new one? Just because I have something in mind, I'd like to suggest Moral Grayness. Seems like several fandoms have characters that skirt that is-he-isn't-he!evil line.

[Rhapsody]

[Viv]

Rhaps, you rock.

[Rhapsody]

[Rhapsody]

As Viv so wonderfully suggested, we have a nice and hopefully inspiring drabble challenge up:

Drabble challenge #27: Moral Greyness

The description of the challenge is as follows:
Did you ever wonder about certain characters what their true motives are? Did you ever engage in a vehement argument with a friend whether a character consciously crosses a line, is he or she evil or not? In several fandoms there are characters that skirt that is-he-isn't-he!evil line. What to think about Qui Gon Jinn, Alex Krycek, Gul Dukat, Jayne Cobb for starters.

More info can be found in the challenge section.

Deadline will be Saturday, 17 November 2007. Have fun!
