White Collar Single Sentence Challenge II is Now Opened

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, [livejournal.com profile] coffeethyme4me and [livejournal.com profile] rabidchild67 .

Prompts will be found in the first comments below - let the games begin.

It was just before dawn when Clinton stepped out of his apartment and into freshly fallen snow that made even New York sparkle.

Mozzie – strut

[identity profile] ursula4x.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Peter winced as Moz strutted out of the prison behind him; the governer's words echoing in his head, "It's a matter of public safety, having you assume custody of Moz. He's taken every institution over and I have nowhere else to send him."

Mozzie – (fever) dreams

[identity profile] photoash.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Neal had found the last seventy-two hours the most enlightening regarding Mozzie being the way he is; as he wipes his friends sweaty brow, replacing ice packs around him, Neal wonders how he’ll manage to act like none of this happened -- that he is not now the unintentional carrier of his best friends secrets.

Prompt: Stuffed full to bursting

Neal knew the day would come when a transmission from his home world would activate his programing and he would take his place in the empire, but until that day he was quite enjoying pretending to be one of these things called humans.

"NO", Clinton said Very Firmly, trying to fend off Neal and Diana at the same time; "I WILL go as Blackula, but I'm NOT GOING TO SPARKLE!".

"When he was three, he tried to eat glitter," she began, and he really wished his sister would stop telling this story every time he tried to bring somebody special home to meet the family.

Kate - You can't tell me where to go or what or who to be

Mozzie -- Dreams

[identity profile] surreal-44.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Continued from Elizabeth -- Don't you ever say that again (http://elrhiarhodan.livejournal.com/218920.html?thread=6531368#t6531368)

Mozzie doesn't tell many people that he has "waking dreams" that can show him things, and he doesn't like the visions he often sees, but today he purposefully makes himself dream, because he'd seen Peter, bound to a chair, bleeding, battered, broken in so many ways -- and because he knows there isn't much time.

ooh i like this idea! MOzzie facing it for Peter's sake

Matt - He maybe should’ve rubbed one out in the bathroom first

[identity profile] photoash.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I’m going to kill whoever has given you the idea that sexting is appropriate work hours convo with your husband - ps Yes let’s do that ASAP Matt typed agitatedly on his iphone; Neal’s pants were entirely too tight for how hard his cock was, good lord he hadn’t even known Simon had known what that act was, much less that he wanted to do it.

Prompt: Simon - Just the right spot

Re: Matt - He maybe should’ve rubbed one out in the bathroom first

Poor Matty. I love the PS part the best.

Satchmo -- Strut II

[identity profile] surreal-44.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Satchmo did not know where the new squeaky toy was, but he had a giant new bone to carry around, and he strutted right over to mommy's papers and sprawled on them, drooling happily on his new favorite toy the whole time.

Re: Satchmo -- Strut II

[identity profile] doctor-fangeek.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Adorable, strutting Satchmo FTW! Again!

Also, I need a Satchmo icon.

For Lauracollared - Neal/Matt - You better believe it

[identity profile] photoash.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
“Peter, my cock is eight inches long,” Matt said with a straight face, “you better believe it,” he removed Neal’s hat with a flourish and bowed as the crew exploded into laughter and applause; Jeff grumbled but he promptly changed the script seeing as Matt had made his point about the ridiculousness of that line.

Prompt: Blue eyes

Satchmo -- Strut III

[identity profile] surreal-44.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It was the middle of a summer BBQ, of course, when Satch strutted into the middle of the party, with El's huge strap-on firmly grasped in his mouth -- it was humiliating but even Peter and Elizabeth had to admit the look of utter shock on the uptight Kletchners' faces was hilarious.

Peter/El - Stuffed full to bursting

[identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
There was a time just after El started her business, that a bride had skipped town, and the two of them had spent the weekend feeding each other wedding cake and wedding food, and when they were too full to eat any more, he put the ring in the icing and left the last piece of cake in the refrigerator for her to find.

Neal -I look outside long as I can

Attackfish: Kate - Cut

[identity profile] photoash.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Neal still watched the video of Kate’s last visit to him in prison; each time she walked away on the grainy black and white footage it pierced his heart anew, just like the first time.

Prompt: Loose ends

Re: Attackfish: Kate - Cut

[identity profile] coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
That's so painful and gorgeous. And what a great idea to write that!

Matt/Tim - Possibilities

[identity profile] photoash.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
“Ridiculous,” Tim chided as he ran a hand through Matt’s wild and unstyled curls, pausing a bit too long in the process, face near Matt’s; Matt pretended not to notice, but it was getting harder each day to not give in to the promises in Tim’s eyes.

Prompt: Good till it's gone

Re: Matt/Tim - Possibilities

[identity profile] lauracollared.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
oooooo
wild and unstyled curles.... mmmm

Thanks to Mozzie's tip, they'd found Peter and arrested Wilkes's hired gun; and as the paramedics worked over Peter's horribly battered body, Neal's only thought was, "At least he's still alive".

Better Late Than Never!!!!!!!!!!!! Diana/Christie: Kitchen Floor

[identity profile] coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
The waxed floor shone with Christie’s sweat, and as Diana rode between her legs and licked a path through the sheen on her lover’s neck, the alfredo went cold and the wine went warm and all was right with the world.

Prompt: Neal -- Crayons

Keller - Loose ends

He never thought Moz was dangerous, he never thought about Moz much at all, and that didn't change when the bullet met his brain.

El - I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me

Neal - Crayons

[identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
After the first birthday card from prison, Peter sent him a box of crayons, and Neal sent back a thank you note with stick figures.

I don't think I caught that particular prompt - it's hard when the fills come so fast and furious - but I love your take on it. I could see this happening.

Neal - Crayons take II

[identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well it's not usually my medium," he told her when she handed him a crayon, but he took it anyway; Moz's daughter just wrinkled her brow, "what's a medium?"

Re: Neal - Crayons take II

[identity profile] coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL!!! So great!

Neal - Crayons take III

Neal - Hollow

[identity profile] doctor-fangeek.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
This is so not my usual thing, but it's where the prompt took me. Sorry?

Peter had somehow managed to forgive Neal his part in the whole fiasco; he’d even decided that just this once revenge trumped justice, and the two of them know for a fact that no one will ever see Matthew Keller again, but it’s a hollow victory, Neal thinks, as he watches as Elizabeth’s body is lowered into the ground.

Meanwhile, I know there's a ton of new prompts already, but I'll throw another one into the ring:
Any - Ghosts

Peter -- Hurt

[identity profile] surreal-44.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Continued from Neal -- Bright side of things (http://elrhiarhodan.livejournal.com/218920.html?thread=6539816#t6539816)

He hurt everywhere...his eyes were sealed shut with a revolting mixture of sweat and blood, and there were people touching him, making the pain worse, and he cried out, but before he could panic any more, a familiar voice reached through the fog of terror and pain, and he relaxed back against the pavement, soothed by the words of safety and comfort from Neal.

For doctor_fangeekNeal and Alex -- Ghosts

[identity profile] surreal-44.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
After the accident that had taken two lives so suddenly, Neal and Alex spent a lot of time at the Burkes, helping to take care of Satchmo, offering wordless comfort, and even making a little mischief for the family who seemed to sense them but could never see them.

Shades of Topper. Good take on the prompt.

Matt/Tim - false start

[identity profile] monkeyonthelam.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)


Matt struggles to stand still as Tim's face hesitantly grows closer to his own, even as he's able to feel the heat of the other man's breath as his mouth opened, and as if he planned to devour his co-star like he was a thankgiving day feast, the younger man's resolve gave out at the very last second when Tim's lips are only a milimeter away when he heard his friend's taunt, "No one, I mean no one, beats me at gay chicken." and he thought to himself that this is far from over.

Tim/Elisa - flirt (Not that I am not enjoying all the Matt/Simon fics, but it would be nice to see the variety.)

Re: Matt/Tim - false start

[identity profile] lauracollared.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
omg hahaha! I love it!

Neal - Wings

[identity profile] attackfish.livejournal.com 2011-11-08 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Most people who caught the virus turned into a dog or a cat, the first animal they had touched after being infected, Mozzie kept pigeons, and the day Kate said goodbye at the prison, Neal just... flew way.
