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, coffeethyme4me and rabidchild67 .

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

Peter, Neal -- Homecoming

„I’ll find out who did this, don’t worry,” promises Peter in a low voice even as he gently locks the cuffs around Neal’s wrists; Neal gives him a tired smile and says: “Please, just keep an eye on Sara and the kids for me, okay?” – and almost wishes he was still wearing that damned anklet so that he had an alibi; he can barely hide his irritation that they once again think he would risk his whole life here over a stupid diamond heist; he also trusts that like in the past, Peter will clear his name and bring him home again.

Thank you :)

As for the longer story... yes, I had one in mind when I wrote this. I don't think I'm going to expand this, though, so feel free to create your own one :)

Thank you :)

As for the longer story... yes, I had one in mind when I wrote this. I don't think I'm going to expand this, though - or if I do, it will be in a full-blown story, and that's simply not a priority at this moment. So at least for now, feel free to create your own background :)

Great fill - there is such a lot of background and clues in just one short sentence; gotta love instant world building!
