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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Reverse World Series: Help, Five Sentences
I. "You're lucky I showed up when I did," Peter said as he helped Neal take a few sips of water; when Neal was done, he eased him back onto the bed and brushed a hand over Neal's forehead to check for a fever.
II. "Thanks for the help, but I need to get to a hospital and check in with my team," Neal said, and tried to sit up, but Peter laid a hand on his shoulder and easily held him down.
III. "It's already been six hours since I first stumbled onto you and Keller," Peter explained, his voice calm but firm, "By now he could have gone back to your people and told them anything, and you're not in the best shape right now, so you may as well rest."
IV. Neal was appalled at how much time had passed, but he didn't feel strong enough to sit up just yet, and that worried him too -- he'd been shot, how bad was the damage?
V. "I know someone who knows someone; she patched you up pretty good," Peter explained, and released Neal when he was sure the other man wouldn't sit up yet, "I can't let you go just yet without risk of exposing my people, so you'll have to stay here with us until we can get a game plan together...just rest for now, you're safe here."
