 |
|
Anyone interested in a group drabble challenge? I have an idea for one ...
As before, those interested in participating would all respond to a prompt or theme, and try to complete an entry by a chosen deadline. The entries would then be submitted to the mod (in this case me) for redistribution to another randomly chosen participant for Beta.
Please respond if you're interested and we'll see if we can get some momentum going.

I'll give it a go. It may lure my muse back.

I can't write drabbles.  I think the closest I've gotten so far is 300 words.
And my muses have been in over - drive since August.
Obviously, I am NOT a woman of few words. Neither are my Muses...
*whistles*

I don't think that disqualifies you, Zee, if you're interested. I'd stretch for you.

I might consider that. Right now, I have 3 Rohirrim fic I"m working on (The Diary, Forgiven, and The Sweetest thing - all Rider verse) a Rohirrim fic that I'm still trying to sketch out plot wise (Riderverse - Sleeping with the Enemy) I have a 4th installment for the His Mine and Our Trilogy (Yeah, Douglass Adams is my hero! LALA!) and a DOOM fic...
I have time...
And I"m working with Zhie on the TolkienAwards....
We won't talk about the Ghostship (Munder) fic I don't plan for anyone to ever see....

Hell, why not? Apparently my editing muse is back. Let's see if I can actually make words of my own.

Hey, everybody, glad a few folks had some enthusiasm. Sounds like we're all struggling a bit (except Zee!) to keep things going so let's see if a challenge kick's the muse into gear.
So, this was my idea:
Two Towers was on the other night and I was really struck by that moment when Aragorn steps into Theoden's tent to find him leaning toward the hooded figure we soon see is Elrond, but not saying anything.
And I thought - what was he saying? Was he saying anything? What would they have to talk about? Maybe Elrond was stiff and awkward and imperial and Theoden got all huffy ... etc. etc.
So, take a wordless moment from the films (or books), and give it words. Like that moment, or when Theoden sees the besieging horde before the gates of Minas Tirith, or when Aragorn sees Eowyn on the walls of Meduseld or ... or ... anything you want. Flesh out the moment, give it voice, see what happens.
What do you think? I'd like some feedback, rather than just impose my idea and have no one participate.
Shout back.

Love it. Know my moment already (as I was watching TTT last night).

Excellent idea, Nancy! I have to warn you, though - there's a good chance that mine will be absurd.

Would that be the difference between your participating and not participating? I had originally conceived it as Tolkien, but perhaps it doesn't have to be ... I would prefer participation over restriction.

| Well, don't make rules for me. I was just thinking of the time investment in re-watching the movies and realized I can't do that. I do watch True Blood on a fairly regular basis, though, and could probably come up with something from that. Or maybe Game of Thrones or Doctor Who, both of which are on hiatus but I've seen relatively recently. |
