 Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2005 9:34 pm Post subject: OSA Drabble Challenges! |
 |
|
Thuriniel had a great idea: Why don't we have weekly drabble challenges?
So here's the deal: each week, starting next week, we'll have a drabble challenge. [Drabble = Fic containing 100 words exactly. No more, no less.]
On this thread, post brief topics that you'd like to see drabbled. Note, these must be very general things *not specifics*.
For instance:
-- Elven fading
-- Famous swords |

Regret - something left undone or a choice made in error.

Culture Shock
There are plenty of moments when one race encounters another or someone finds themselves in a land very different from their own ... away from home ... stranger in a strange land ...
Faramir first meeting the Hobbits
Bilbo and Gollum
Elves and Dwarves
Elves and Men
The Fellowship going into Lorien, Moria etc.
Gimli in Fangorn
Legolas in the Glittering Caves
Pippin in Minas Tirith
Even the Hobbits returning to the Shire
etc. etc. etc.

| Ah fuggy. I just noticed: Haleth's "Food" came first. Already I'm out of order! The horror! (Food will be next week. I am so ashamed. Please post new drabble topics so I can get those out of order, too.) |
