elrhiarhodan 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)

Peter -- Dreams Two Sentences
Date: 2011-11-14 10:31 pm (UTC)II. He's embarrassed to admit that his worst dream revolves around himself -- the poison working through his body, his heart slowing, a terrible pain in his chest as he struggles for air, an icy cold stealing the life from his body and he knows he's dying...and when he wakes from that dream, he shivers, and holds Elizabeth just a little tighter to remind himself that he's still alive.
