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.

Keller & Neal - Spite (another end)

Keller sees SWAT approaching the warehouse and he knows he's done, knows he has one last chance to ruin Neal (to make Neal) in every way that matters, so he offers Neal "proof" that he has killed Peter and then turns around, giving Neal an opening to strangle him with the chain on the cuffs that Neal has surely picked by now; Keller can't force his face to smile as he chokes out, but he knows that he'll be dead right in time for Peter to rush in and find that his boy Neal Caffrey has killed a man with little more than his bare hands; it will be good for Neal, Keller thinks right before it all goes, it's good that he's finally taught Neal to be a man.

So elementally, masterfully Keller. And now I'm all sad and hurty.

Well, some things *should* be painful, so no worries there. :-) It's a terrific fill - clever and in character.

Also, you seem to be on a serious roll tonight. Or this morning - what time is it where you are? I should totally be sleeping, but I fell asleep on my sofa and then woke up in the wee hours of the morning.

Ouch! Now THAT's dedication! And nasty. And thoroughly Keller.
Bastard.
Clever idea, though. :)
