I'll take the other thing.

I miss the days when I used to host writing challenges right here in this very journal.

So. Now that the seventh Harry Potter book has been written... I think it's time for a different kind of writing challenge. I used to host the short-short ficlets, 300 words or less, open fandom.

Today, I'm going OC. And that doesn't stand for Orange County: it stands for original character.

Ready? 3, 2, 1, let's... get inspired to write original fiction, folks. The theme for the challenge is change: take 500 words to introduce an original character and demonstrate some measure of change for him, for her, for it.

---

Rules:

• Fandom: original only


• Word count: 500 or less


• Main theme: change


• Ratings: No restrictions.


• Duration: Challenge opens now (August 30) and closes at 11:59 p.m. in whatever time zone you inhabit on Wednesday, September 5.

Post your ficlets as comments to this entry. Feel free to do as few or as many as you want, and if you see one you really like, be sure to leave a review or a comment. Remember, original fic only. I'll crack my knuckles and get going as soon as I get a few hours' sleep.

thank you for making me feel all warm and cosy. I'm looking forward to see those two catch up for real. On the other hand this is in such away enough that i wouldn't mind if it jsut stayed stand-alone. there is no big enormosu need to narrate the whole 'what pappened next' or 'hw didit come to this'. tha's so coo lwhen you're able to fit everything that does need to be told in such a small bit.
Oy with the clunky reviews. it's been ages since i did this so i probably sound all fake and like i i nreality don't have a clue what to say. Well this was just nice and casual and intimate at the same time.
