Re: Weekly 100 Word Drabble Challenge!

[Soul Jelly]

Thank you Cya, Snickie and Kitty ^^

Kitty, the more the merrier in this grand drabble expedition. More stuff for me to read! and re; your latest drabble - my feels ;_; There isn't enough Franz and Aelita-centric stuff out there and I think you pulled off the idea well. Love how much of Franz's thoughts and emotions you put into a mere 100 words.

[Kittyclaw]

Thank you Soul~! I agree about the lack of Aelita and Franz, or even just stuff about Franz. I would love to know more about his story, even if it's just other peoples' interpretations.

[cya6]

Very sad, Kitty. Franz really screwed up in every way. I know he didn't mean to, but he had such bad luck.

And wow, Shadows. That's kinda (really) creepy. But I mean, I suppose you're right. What's the chances XANA would get turned on by someone willing (and able) to fight him a second time.

[Kittyclaw]

Good gracious Shadows, that's brilliant. I love the idea of Xana just like, sitting int hat computer brooding and waiting. And the little details you threw in, with the car and the riots and the the way the kids sober up and rethink, it really took your drabble from being just an idea and made it a story.

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Thanks. All of your drabbles were ah-mazing!

Woohoo, idea forming, did and done.

Soul, I kind of used your parenthesis technique

(because it's pretty awesome )

[RenaYumi]

Vena, you killed me.

[Kittyclaw]

Vena! My feels! Whyyyyy

It's beautiful and you're incredible.

[Soul Jelly]

I forgot to comment on Shadows' but woah, awesome. Like Kitty says, I love how it encapsulates a whole story in itself. I could just see the chaos unfolding in my mind as I read it.

@Vena - Parenthesis FTW. Just commented over on ff.net, but yesss that was so sad and awesome. I love how it ends with the image of the factory being torn down; what a powerful image in how it symbolises the destruction of all the other possibilities in that universe. Like they didn't take that road and now they never can (not to mention what it means for poor Aelita!)

@Rena. Aaaargh this is lovely. The description is so eloquent and again really powerful, like, you put so much feeling into so few words and it all just resonates. I like how there are only small clues as to who it is but at the same time you just know.

[RenaYumi]

Aww Soul

[Soul Jelly]

^^ I'm just such a huge fan of everyone here okay, I love you all
/sentimental moment

I made this prompt into JxA for my resident JxA buddy, Vena. I actually want to see a whole A/U fic of this concept, now... (In fact I want to see A/U fics of most 'What if' scenarios spawned by drabbles, there are so many great concepts touched upon here).
I'm not sure how well I put across the idea. It was very difficult to get it into the word count. ><

I've also done some catch-ups that I don't think I posted here, so if anyone's keeping up super intently with my drabbles, they're on ff.net. From what I can remember, 'Friendship', 'Miss Popularity', 'Like the Movies' and 'Thirteen' are all recent catch-ups.

[Snickie]

Aaauuurrgghhh Soul!

It's so beautiful! And wonderful! <3 I love it. I would have never thought to take that approach of the prompt. So original and unique, and did I mention? IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!! <3 <3 <3

[Adventurer411]

Kitty said I'm incredible.
/fangirl on
SQUEEE
/fangirl off

Thanks, kitty. /totally chill

(rena, sorry I killed you D:)

And Soul, yay, and you did fine putting it across in 100 words. (we're actually going to do that as a collab in about a few months)

[Kittyclaw]

Vena I love you <3

SNICKIE. I love yours. I want so bad to know what would have happened if she'd picked the other path! It feels like there's this whole dark, sad, very interesting story that has this 'better left untold' feeling to it in the way you highlight the good of what happened Actually...would you mind if I made that my drabble idea?

And Soul? The part of me that spawned my pairing fantisicm is in love with you and your inventive ideas. That would be such a cool idea to explore with a longer fic.

[Soul Jelly]

So, Kitty has this habit of taking words right out of my mouth when it comes to commenting. But yesss, echoing all of what she said for your drabble Snickie; this was a super creative one because it's such a minuscule moment that might have changed so much. Awesome stuff.

And thanks everyone :3

Edit so as not to double post: Kitty, I really like how built on Snickie's idea and provided the opposite. It's so cool how I'm seeing two possibilities originating from the same point from the mind of two completely different writers <3 Your drabble encompasses a really effective anti-climax; from the wolf-chase to the safety of Kadic, and this lingering feeling of 'What if...?' Awesome.

[xiaozanghou]

Really loving RenaYumi's and Adventurer411's drabbles. The "what-if" has just so much impact when it's already assumed.

Also I know I don't post here nearly enough but I'm usually scouting out the challenges for ideas... trying to be active is hard.

[Soul Jelly]

I did a double-take for a minute there. But no, I'm definitely on XL and not CLE. Hi Xiao! *waves* Nice of you stop by.

Ooooh your drabble is really interesting. I had to read it over a couple of times to get it (maybe because I'm tired, ha) but I love it. That ending line oh my gosh ;_; I like how it's all split up with short sentences and full-stops, it makes me think of stumbling and uncertainty.

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Guys, I don't know what to say. You've all really outdone yourselves! All of those drabbles were absolutely fantastic!

Psshshshs, Xiao, if you really want some ideas, sign up for the XL Olympics. Heheheheh. psssshshsh

Special Details: Something different than usual! Write two different fifty word drabbles. They can relate or interconnect or be completely random. Topic is up to you.

Though, if you really want a prompt and can't think of one, go with Snakes.

Don't forget, you can post The Road Not Taken until the end of Friday, I was just up and figured...

[Soul Jelly]

Having great prompts to work with sure helps.

And yesss Shadows, now I also need to see - on top of everything else - a complete 'Odd discovers Lyoko first' AU. Pleasepleaseplease. That set-up was fantastic.

I have no ideas for this week. Yet. ;_; Just here to express my love for Snickie's; Odd got completely owned, hahaha. Perfection.

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Very nice, Snickie! I could see that happening in class.

And Vena, that last line just was perfect! I loved the conversing personalities.

Soul! I want to write it too, but we don't always get what we want, now do we? (Seriously, one day I'm going to write a series of AUs, they're my absolute favorite thing about fanfiction ever and I love them).

[Adventurer411]

Shadows, so emotional! Perfect!

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Thanks Vena, <3. That's what happens when you've been listening to this while you've been writing for a month and a half.

[Kittyclaw]

Vena! Shadows! The things you do to my emotions! I've already said that the way you look at Xana's side of things, give him a reason that he's not wrong, is incredible, and that idea of him saving the world--in that little idea is masked an entire understanding of a secret project the warriors no nothing about, a look at what might have been and how it could have all gone wrong. So much in so little. Vena, I'm blown away.

And Shadows. You. And. Wut. The sadness of the flames outside the window, it made me think of the scenes in the Titanic movie where the flood waters are coming in and everyone just holds one another tight while they're sheilded inside, if only for a moment longer. And then the couple outside, in all the chaos, everything just ripping them apart and yet they reunite and then salvation comes and and and...yes. Just yes.

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Carth and Soul. Why is that when I go to write a romance, it ends up happening during the apocalypse, and you guys just go on and write your fluffly little things. It's not fair!

Seriously though, good job.
