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.

Neal, Mozzie -- Ghosts

After he was able to switch out the paintings, Neal fled with Mozzie, and they lived the high life off the money they made from the treasure, but soon they both started to see Peter and Elizabeth, sometimes together, sometimes separately, but if they looked too closely they'd vanish...finally after four months, Neal called the one person he knew he could trust, and Alex sadly informed him that Keller had kidnapped and killed the Burkes for the submarine treasure he'd run off with, and as Neal hung up the phone, he saw his two friends standing at the corner watching him, and he didn't know if they came to accuse or to forgive -- and he wasn't sure which he wanted.

(( Thank you, Elr, for not grading us on sentence structure! ))

AAaaaaah! Nooooo! You broke me! *sobs*
This is so f*ing painful and terrible and possible, and I can't bear it.
*sniffles*

Well done, though. ;)

A very lovely runoff sentence. Poor El and Peter.
