Single Sentence Challenge Promptfest is BACK
Think you can’t write fanfic? Think again, because Sentence!Fest is a fun way to get your feet wet. Basically, the challenge is to tell a complete story using one sentence only.
Sounds easy, but perhaps it is not. How would you tell your story if you only had the space of one sentence? Would you use dialogue? Action? Emotion? Observation? Would it be haunting? Poetic? Sexy? Tragic?
The rules are simple: Tell a story using one sentence. It can be as long as you want it to be, but it must make sense (imaginary points will be deducted). It can be as short as you want it to be, but make those words count. Tell a story that will provoke the imagination of your readers – one they will demand to have the beginning, middle and end of from you – that is the ultimate goal. Here is an example:
Neal and Peter have the sex.
Here is a better one:
When Peter finally opened his eyes, it was to see his lover's rapt face as Neal rode him, the rising sun forming a perfect golden halo around his dark head; his savior, his angel.
Capice?
This particular ‘fest will operate like any other. Take a prompt, fill a prompt, leave a prompt. There are no limits – multiple folks can fill any and all prompts. Use them to craft a narrative if you like, but each entry must convey an entire scene within that narrative. All subject matter is fair game, so RPF/RPS is allowed. This fest is unlocked and opened to everyone who would like to write.
Cuz Sentencefest can be a little overwhelming, it will be co-moderated by myself,
coffeethyme4me and
rabidchild67 .
Prompts will be found in the first comments below - let the games begin.

Date: 2011-11-15 08:20 pm (UTC)1. a long lazy day
Saturdays were days when Peter’s gun holster stayed in the closet, when Neal made brunch in his tightie whities, and when El skimmed the paper while the second pot of coffee brewed.
2. with a lot of fucking happening
Some Saturdays they never left the bed, and they tied Neal up, and Peter and El tag teamed his delicate ass, and coffee never got made at all.
3. Intense orgasms
On these Saturdays, if they worked at it, Neal could come five times in about two hours, and Peter would have long since stopped fucking him with his cock and started fucking him with dildos and fingers and last night’s beer bottles, and El was always afraid the neighbors would hear Neal screaming from the pleasure Peter fucked out of him.
4. & then making iced tea
On these and other Saturdays, when everyone was worn out by 11am, Peter made the best iced tea that he said he’d learned from a great aunt upstate, and El would wipe the sweat from Neal’s brow, kissing his neck – his salty neck – before swallowing the sweet, sweet tea on a sigh.
5. & then doing it in the shower
And then Peter and El would shower while Neal slept, and things would get out of hand, and he’d have her up against the wet wall, inside her, renewed, and she would always come before Peter would, crying as the lavender rain fell over her shoulders.
5. & Peter going to walk the dog
Then Peter would walk Satch, and the sun would kiss his skin as the wind whipped past, and he’d linger on every corner to let the dog sniff, himself remembering the tight sheaf of Neal’s ass and his wife’s soft thighs against his hips.
6. while Neal eats El out
And Neal would always be hungriest before lunch, when it would be just them in the house and all was quiet and he’d urge open her legs with a smile, and then all that could be heard would be lips against cunt and the infernal gasps he wrenched from her throat.
7. & stuff like that
Saturdays were days when Peter’s gun holster stayed in the closet, when Neal made brunch in his tightie whities, and when El smelled like sex for the rest of the day and night and the three of them lived life as if by the tides: coming on strong, and then winding down, limbs and breath tangled, only to reach for one another again, urgent as the sea.

Date: 2011-11-16 08:24 am (UTC)I remember the flashback episode, where Kate and Neal dress up as cops and steal some painting from a delivery guy with Mozzie's help; and I couldn't help but think "there goes your job, mister" at the poor, hapless driver.

Central Park - Four Sentences for Coffeethyme4me (Warning - Deathfic)
Date: 2011-11-16 07:55 pm (UTC)Peter: He's taken to walking the dark paths, he sees old friends long dead - they wave to him and he lingers for a while - then moves on restlessly, seeking what he lost to anger and gunfire, seeking his loves and never finding them under the uncertain starlight.
Mozzie: He sometimes sees them out of the corner of his eye, they are a waiting imminance in the sunlight; he tries so hard to talk to them, to make them understand, to ask them for forgiveness; and so he sits thereas the Angel of the Waters watches over him, and he knows his prayers are a mere futility.
Elizabeth: She never thought it would keep hurting this much, seeing Peter night after night, and she can hear him calling her name and she cries out his, but some cruel fate keeps them apart; and so at least in sunlight she has Neal - a comfort if not a solace for all she lost.
Re: Central Park - Four Sentences for Coffeethyme4me (Warning - Deathfic)
Date: 2011-11-16 08:52 pm (UTC)Loved Neal and El meeting together and being a sort of solace for each other, and loved Peter searching for them.
Poor Neal, Peter, El and even Mozzie!

From:Neal -- Daddy issues Two sentences
Date: 2011-11-16 08:27 pm (UTC)Mentions of child abuse:
I. Neal had never been able to figure out the puzzle of Peter Burke; how someone could be so self-assured, but still display vulnerability, how anyone could be so suspicious but caring of others, but he doesn't think too long on it, or try to put the pieces together, because he doesn't really think it's important.
II. Then one night, on a rare evening when Peter allows himself to drink a little too much, they start talking about fathers, and he tells Neal about the dark years of his father's alcoholism, and of the bruises and broken bones he'd explained away to the world -- and Neal wonders why he'd never figured this out before, and then he realizes that the only good con Peter could truly pull was the one that surrounded his family.
