Writing Challenge - Taste

[in_the_blue]

Those of you who know me understand that I tend to get random inspiration for writing in the shower and yes, there is a physiological reason for that and no, I won't go into it here because it's been done before. Today's inspiration: the senses, particularly the sense of taste.

Since so many of you who read this journal are writers, I thought a drabble challenge was in order.

It's not a contest, it's a challenge. Read that as an exercise in concise writing. I was thinking primarily for roleplayers as a way of getting to know tiny details about your characters, but you don't have to be an active roleplayer to join the challenge. Everybody is welcome.

Rules (Captain Barbossa reminds me that they're more like guidelines):

• Fandom: any, so long as it's one you know well. I play at Dogstar with Harry Potter characters and milliways_bar with HP, Cowboy Bebop, and Twin Peaks characters; for my purposes I'm keeping it to one or more of those worlds because really, doesn't FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper just cry out for talking about a damn fine cup of coffee and his quest for the world's best cherry pie?


• Word count: 300 or less


• Main theme: sense of taste


• Ratings: No restrictions


• Duration: 1 week. Challenge opens today and closes Sunday, April 24.

Post your drabbles as comments to this entry. And yes, you can comment on other peoples' work. Feedback is always nice.

Go.
