Re: Weekly 100 Word Drabble Challenge!

by SeeMeInTheShadows Fri Sep 17, 2010 8:13 pm

I really liked yours Rai. And I'm extending this one, because I'm not gonna be able to update it for the next few days or so, and since only you've posted so far (I'll get to it, I swear!)

EDIT: Your new clue is: most posts.

by **Railen** Sat Sep 18, 2010 3:01 pm

*holds a pitchfork* And I'm sure some other people will do soon, too!

by Kittyclaw Mon Sep 20, 2010 7:59 pm

Kitty did! This is a really awesome contest.

So, umm, about Kitty's drabble, it's actually a look at what the very original plot for Toy Soldier was meant to be. That's...about it.

Also, Shadows? Your drabble is so much brilliance. I'm absolutely in love with your style, and how, even though you only use pronouns, there's no problem knowing who you're talking about. This one is for sure one of those drabbles where 100 words is more powerful than 1,000 ever could be.

by SnowPrincessMossy Mon Sep 20, 2010 8:10 pm

This one was so much harder than the picture one! But I like them all Smile

I like the vagueness the 100 words forces into the drabble and... Yeah. Everyone's is just great! Very Happy

by **Railen** Tue Sep 21, 2010 4:55 am

Vague indeed! Yet it looks great, all of them. Snowy, mind helping me understand yours? ^^

by SeeMeInTheShadows Tue Sep 21, 2010 2:38 pm

Thanks Kitty! I think everyone's was great (again). Definitely a darker look at the characters, I think. But now it's time for the next challenge. This will be a shorter one to get us back on track. This one will also be a bit different.

Drabble #3
Prompt: A Different Meeting (read special details).
Begin Date: Septemeber 21
End Date: Septemeber 25
Special Details: The Lyoko Warriors never fought on Lyoko. Show them meeting or being together (they don't even have to know eachother). The rest is up to your creative judgement. They could be enemies, even better friends, couples, or maybe have never even been to Kadic.

It would be useful if you could explain the situation here, though, since so many variables can be changed. Very Happy

by Kittyclaw Tue Sep 21, 2010 3:22 pm

I like this prompt a lot :] Mine's pretty basic: the group doing whatever I think they would be doing if Lyoko weren't an issue. I imagine that without Lyoko, they wouldn't all be friends [I can't see them really getting along without that common thing to originally bring them together].

And I included Milly and Tamia in the end because, hey, someone's gotta find that thing.

Heh, it's William when he's having that moment where he's remembering the gang when Yumi's talking to him and he's holding his head and screaming. I can't remember what episode it is, or the specifics of the moment, but I remember him holding his head so I took it and ran with it.

Interesting prompt, I'll get right on it!

by SeeMeInTheShadows Fri Sep 24, 2010 9:34 pm

Kitty, I LOVE yours. The possibilites that you show are amazing. I especially love Milly and Tamiya finding the factory. (The part of my brain that thrives on AUs is buzzing).

I posted mine. I wasn't really happy with the end, but there's always next week!

by Kittyclaw Sat Sep 25, 2010 9:24 am

Thank you shadows :] I really liked your too, I thought the ending was amazingggg

by SeeMeInTheShadows Sat Sep 25, 2010 8:05 pm

Thanks Kitty.

And here's the next challenge starting tomorrow. Or today. Or yesterday. It all depends on when you're reading this. This one is courtesy of the random word generator, more or less.

Drabble #4
Prompt: Twelve
Begin Date: Septemeber 26
End Date: October 2 (I think)
Special Details: None

Here's a fun fact. When I come up with these drabbles, I honestly don't know I'm going to write, since I feel that would be an unfair advantage. And I pretty much have no clue what to do for this one.

by Kittyclaw Mon Sep 27, 2010 3:03 pm

I think mine might be an obvious interpretaton of the prompt, but I kind of like it :] Also, I'm glad I was able to give Jeremy some focus. I always seem to come up with some pretty decent stuff when he's the focus of the story.

by SnowPrincessMossy Mon Sep 27, 2010 6:07 pm

I like Enzo's because it's different (Yay evil XD) And I like Kitty's because Jer's so cute when he's little Smile

And I love the hero thing.

I have no idea what I'm going to do for this one x.x (For CL at least... I'm kind of challenging myself to do these same prompts for different fandoms also, but I'm so far behind in that x.x Silly life keeps getting in the way.)

by Coto524 Tue Sep 28, 2010 12:15 pm

How about twelve best memories or something?

by SeeMeInTheShadows Tue Sep 28, 2010 2:55 pm

I may end up doing a "twelve things so and so is scared of" myself or something along those lines, myself.

by SnowPrincessMossy Wed Sep 29, 2010 5:11 pm

Thanks for the ideas! I kinda did things that happened to Jeremie when he was twelve and various other example of twelve. I say twelve so much, so I want to know if you like the repetition or not (Because I know I do a lot of repetition not only in this drabble but all the time.)

by Kittyclaw Wed Sep 29, 2010 5:42 pm

I freaking love it, Snowy. I never would have thought that many things would work for 12. I like the repetition, I think it fits what you're going for and emphasizes the whole "12 is this and this and this" thing.

And Railen? Yours is halarious. I love it.

by SeeMeInTheShadows Wed Sep 29, 2010 6:02 pm

Rai, I loved your version of the song. Enzo, I liked the XANA type piece but how he forgets such simple things. Kitty, I liked how you showed how young Jeremie (and by default, the rest of the gang) is which is different and Snowy, I liked how you showed that even though they were young, they still had life experiences. Yep. I actually commented on everyone's so far (though badly).

I think mine's a bit more depressing, really. The ending is how you interpret it. I personally go for a more optimistic approach, but that's just me.

by Kittyclaw Wed Sep 29, 2010 6:41 pm

Shadows, I love yours! I can see how it would be optimistic, and I can see how there's a whole story hiding in that drabble that only you know. It makes me want to know so much more!

by **Railen** Thu Sep 30, 2010 5:54 am

I thought Shadows' was meant to be dramatic, but at the end I can understand why you can add various optimisic thoughts. ^^

by SnowPrincessMossy Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:47 pm

Shadows, yours is so interesting! I love the ending that could be good or bad so much.

by SeeMeInTheShadows Sun Oct 03, 2010 5:33 pm

Why thank you everybody, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I actually may (or may not) have the thought of continueing it. If nothing else, it will probably pop up in another one of these drabbles, not that I know.

Drabble #5
Prompt: Quote- "Someone, catch that monster."
Begin Date: October 3
End Date: October 10
Special Details: None

Ha this is actually taken from Katy Perry's song she sings with Elmo. Feel free to look at any part of the song for inspiration, this quote just caught me attention so I figured I go for it!

by Kittyclaw Tue Oct 05, 2010 1:02 pm

Iiii love this prompt. Originally I couldn't think of anything for it? But then I thought of Rena's April Fool series, and I was inspired. I co-wrote the last one, which is where the library thing came from. If you really want to laugh, I suggest you read that series :3

by Stella Luce 333 Thu Oct 07, 2010 3:15 pm

I finlly was able to come up with somthng befre the dedlne!!!

by SeeMeInTheShadows Mon Oct 11, 2010 7:01 pm

Drabble #6
Prompt: Miss Popularity
Begin Date: October 11
End Date: October 16
Special Details: Sissi Drabble! Make her mean, nice, angsty, content: whatever strikes you fancy. But it has to be about our very own Sissi!

I think this one will be fun.
