Re: Weekly 100 Word Drabble Challenge!

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

This one should produce deliciously angsty (and deliciously nonangsty, whatever you want) drabbles. It's also a little different so pay attention to the special details. And I know the title is sort of lame, it's the best I could think of.

Drabble: #27
Prompt: Your Tale
Begin Date: June 1
End Date: June 15
Special Details: write a drabble while listening to this song. It should fit the music, whatever you're inspired to write, write.

ANOUNCEMENT
I'll be gone for about two weeks, so you have an all you can eat drabble buffet. That means catch up on any and all of the old drabbles that you've missed! Yeah, I said you can catch up on all of them. I know what I'll be doing on the plane.

[Soul Jelly]

Still working on the current one but for now I'm catching up; challenging myself by writing a -gasp- canon pairing for once.

Belated comments on last week's drabbles - I really enjoyed them both! One of my favourite things for me is seeing how completely differently people can interpret a prompt, and Shadows and Stella, both of yours had a mystical air about them but were both really unique. Aven though I'm missing out on the full impact of yours Stella, I really liked it. I don't know what series you were referring to, but I love the crossovery-type drabbles you often come up with . I love the fairytale element in yours Shadows, and the twist at the end, as I too thought it was going to be Yumi not Aelita.

Mine's basd off of a book calld A Wrnkle in Time, whch is relly good. It's defntly worth a look if you get the chnce...

[Soul Jelly]

Ooh, thanks! I've never heard of it but I will look out for it on my next trip to the library.


@Cya; Freaking awesome, definitely one of my favourites of yours. Very eerie - befitting the music - and very sad as well. I like how Sissi's emotions at not knowing become something much deeper than "oh great, I'll never find out your secret now"; there's a sense of injustice in there, like she believed their story deserved to be told, and a sense of fear as well, that whatever happened to them might happen to her.

(Out of curiosity, what did you have in mind for what happened to the LWs, if anything? It put me in the mind of Ghosts in the Machine where the RTTP essentially renders Yumi, etc. empty shells in the world they left behind but the idea of a XANA attack just wiping them all out instantly is equally frightening really.)


About to post a few more catch-ups since I'm not feeling too inspired by this week's prompt just now. And yes, I'm pretty sure the Odd thing in Dark Instinct is a cliché which is why I'm only devoting one hundred words to my own rendition of it.
And that's it for a while unless I get really inspired/think of something for this week's prompt. I'm really burned out on writing right now. @_@

[Stella Luce 333]

If it helps, I've nevr seen anybdy take on that twst to Od's persnlty befre...I relly love the idea, thogh...

[Soul Jelly]

Really? Oh that's cool then. Thanks!

Vena, already said as much but I love yours. Moar JxA loveliness and a nice glimpse into Jim's mysterious past. That said, I think my favourite may be 'Hunger' because it's a funny and unusual interaction of characters. Plus Delmas is super awesome.

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Okay, time for the next real prompt- a day late, sorry about that. This week's prompt brought to you by The Legend of Korra, which is one right now.

Drabble: #28
Prompt: Turning Tides
Begin Date: June 15
End Date: June 22
Special Details: none.

[cya6]

Very nice Vena! I really liked all of them. Blink rings so true!

Shadows, they're all awesome! Last Call was so melencholy, and I think it's funny both you and I did something with Sissi for Your Tale.

Glad I finally got one out

[Soul Jelly]

@Cya; You took a really interesting view on that prompt, I liked it a lot! Awesome take on XANA's character and I like the possibility that XANA may have happened anyway, whether someone switched on the supercomputer or not. Might adopt that as my own head-canon too.

@Shadows; I also liked all of yours, but especially that Odd-leaving one, completely tragic ;_; the sense of desperation and betrayal really shines through. Nice take on Jim with his romantic backstory too!

Edit: Just posted mine. Inspiration has been lacking for these lately... But when in doubt, do another crack!ship, that's what I always say. I may attempt some more YxU next week though if I can.

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Thanks guys! I still haven't read yours, but I plan to (I actually plan to take an evening and reread every single drabble). I'm glad you liked last call, it was a story I've been trying to hammer out for forever (aka, I had the summary written and nothing else) and then I didn't even realize that it fit perfectly until I stared a good thirty seconds at the prompt.

[Adventurer411]

This week's drabble posted. Woot.

Cya, I really loved yours. It just seemed to perfectly describe the prompt, and it just had a big impact and makes you think. Great job.

[cya6]

Thanks, Vena. I liked yours, it gave a whole new side to the prompt. While I would have thought of turning the tides of a battle for good, you've made it more bleak and emotional. Very nice.

[Adventurer411]

Thanks!

[Soul Jelly]

What other genres are there besides angst and romance? Because I need to switch mine up a bit.

[cya6]

Humor. Or just telling a story, sorta adventure. Also friendship. You could sorta do a horror, kinda supernatural ghost-ish. (but that's harder to do in 100 words). A mystery, but the last two are kinda close to angst.

You could always do Western

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Have I ever told you that I have a secret (or not so secret) adoration of Western stories. Like, a huge one (I'm not even joking, I once looked at Harry Potter Western stories and found one by the name of "Ron the Cow"- go check it out if you don't believe me).

So yes, I vote that we all do Westerns next week (and since I'm the one making the prompts...)

...Or maybe not, who knows?

[cya6]

Oh yeah, that'd rock! Get me out of my comfort zone, see if I can do anything besides angst.

[Soul Jelly]

I can totally get behind this Western idea. Let's do it.

[cya6]

Uh, read that cow story too.

Weeeeeeeeeeird...

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Hermione and Harry tried to convince him otherwise, but Ron told them this:

"Muuhh!"

And so, there was no more to discuss.

Okay, next week will be Western, that's decided, please don't turn the Lyoko Warriors into farm animals (I'm not going to say you can't, because I'm all for freedom of expression and I don't agree with Machiavelli on everything), and don't start writing it yet, even though you know what it is! (You can start plotting though, though that defeats the purpose- I make the prompts and I don't even know what I'm going to do with them until sometimes around Thursday night).

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Double posting for sake of updating.

Drabble: #29
Prompt: Standoff
Begin Date: June 22
End Date: June 29
Special Details: Must be a Western.

Have fun!

[cya6]

heh heh heh...

And I swear, I will do this one!

[Guest]

One day, I will too.

[cya6]

hmm, I actually had fun with this one.  Can't wait to see what y'all do!

I changed it slightly, is that ok?

[Soul Jelly]

Yesss the prompt is up! I've been waiting for this.

Loved yours Cya!
