issuing a totally spontaneous pan-creative inherently flexible challenge/prompt

I had intended to set up a game of drabble scrabble before I left, but was too busy missing the bus on Friday to follow through. instead, I am now (as the subject line states) issuing a totally spontaneous pan-creative inherently flexible challenge/prompt. it is as follows.


"They say communication is a two-way street, baby, and here I am, standing on the sidewalk."

fanfiction. original fiction. nonfiction, faux-nonfiction. prose, poetry, song. graphic. vid. use the sentence. use part(s) of the sentence. edit the sentence. don't use the sentence. fall back into an old and comfortable place, or try something new and daring. or mess around in the middle. do whatever your little heart desires. damn the consequences.

there is no word limit, no rating limit, no size limit, no time limit.

just go.

leave a comment with your response, a link to your response, your idea(s) for a response, your opinion, and/or anything else you can think of, up to and including -- but not limited to -- your favorite 1930s-era indoor lighting fixture. I? am going to bed.

we almost become dizzy / I am who I am who I am

ok guys, fuck that last challenge thing. new plan (though I mean, feel free to play there, or here, or there and here, or whatever, but yeah).

HUGS FOR COLBY!
(because um. I just spent all of German class ignoring modal verbs and going "man, Colby really needs a hug. or eighty." BECAUSE HE DOES, THOUGH.)

so, for the purpose of this quixotic little venture, a hug is anything from 50-500 words, and man you can totally write/link to something longer if you want, but 50-500 is a nice manageable target length I think, and it can be het or slash or gen or fluff or angst or snark or porn or backstory or some combination or pretty much anything, with anyone, as long as it has at its core the Colby-love. somewhere (possibly very deeply hidden, because Colby is, yes, adorable, but also a soldierboy, which is a) why we love him, and b) something that sets him up for a lot of trouble, sometimes). because you know what, Colby Needs A Hug. for serious.

so! post hugs here, please! I am maybe even writing one or several myself! that's what lunch is for, I think! also, here are some free bonus exclamation points for you! --> [!!!!!!!]

ok no, but, really, please humor me (and Colby). even though I'm kinda crazy.



(OT PS - ian_edgerton girls, I PROMISE I have a picspam/post/apology in the works for tonight. gack. o_o)
