 Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2006 3:58 pm Post subject: TV-show/Movies Drabble challenge thread |
 |
|
Given the popularity of the Tolkien drabble challenges, we thought it would be a nice idea to give the TV and movie section their own drabble challenges. For the sake of organisation and oversight for our fellow challenge admins Viv and Maram, we created our own thread.
And we, that is FatiferousPoet and me, issued the first one: Drabble challenge #1: "Objects in action!
So as of this week, we will have a drabble challenge. [Drabble = Fic containing 100 words exactly. No more, no less. Unless it is stated otherwise.]
Just as on the Tolkien thread, we welcome you to post brief topics that you would like to see drabbled. Note, these must be very general things *not specifics* which will fit as many fandoms as possible.
For instance:
-- Objects in space
-- Famous last words

Apologies in advance for the really stupid question, Rhaps, but just to clarify - the challenge is for any of the fandoms within the TV / Movie section (ie not Tolkien but could be The Matrix or NCIS or whatever, so long as it fits the drabble prompt?) Is that right?
(Just checking before I do something wrong, lol)

Okay folks! There is a new drabble challenge up!!! This week is a topic suggested by Alassante:
Drabble about death of a major character - either one that really happened on the show/movie or kill off a character.
Yes this means that you finally can kill off The Cigarette-Smoking Man of the X-files, or capture the final moments of Jadzia Dax or Spike when he sacrifices him at the end of the Buffy series.
So wake up your muses or feed your  a  ! Happy Drabbling!

The deadline for the challenge is set for the 30th of December 2006, so you have all the time to write a drabble. Feel free to suggest new topics, theme's or challenges for the TV/Movie section!
Happy Drabbling & Happy Holidays!

Whip out that pen, wake up your muses or feed that certain bunny you always wanted to write or perhaps this drabble challenge will attrack said bunnies. This week's drabble challenge is:
Brothers In Arms
Drabble about an adventure story between two paternal brothers, or two best friends splitting in a fight. Or what about a group of war heroes, coming together for a common cause.
Some suggestions are: the scooby gang in Buffy unite once more, the crew of Firefly have to look after each other when a job goes all wrong, the Charmed sisters end up in a cat fight, Luke and Leia have an adventure kicking Sith ass. You name it, it can be drabbled!
Sign up and drabble away, you know that you always wanted to... If there is another topic you want to see in a challenge, let us know by contacting us, replying here or adding a challenge in the challenge section Enjoy!
Happy drabbling & reading!
