The next challenge, beginning Sunday February 4th will be:
The Teachable Moment
Imagine Simon Tam in med school, Pippin at his first public occasion as Thain's son, Ginny and Molly having a heart to heart, the conversation we never har Edmund having with Aslan ...

Also, got inspired by the fact that my daughter has been invited to a sleepover Saturday night to post the first official OSA Holiday Challenge for all archives: Valentine's Day.
For the next week, you are invited to drabble about Valentine's day, love won, love lost, love unrequited, love scorned: the first time Denethor and Finduilas meet, Zoe and Wash's wedding night, Cho Chang on the first anniversary of Cedric Diggory's death, Jayne Cobb giving Vera a rub down ... whatever says "love" to you.
Fic may be 100, 200, or 300 words. Deadline will be in ONE WEEK on Wednesday, 18 February 2009.
A new Holiday challenge will be posted anytime we think of it, and participants will have one week to complete the challenge.
Love Ya! NB _________________ NB Duchess of WHY TF Cant'chu Punctuate, First Duchess of F*&(ing &*ll yur comma placement sux!
