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.

Alex -- Bad Judgment

Continued from this post, which is the start of the Reverse World Series: Neal -- Thorns (http://elrhiarhodan.livejournal.com/218920.html?thread=6808872#t6808872)

I. Alex had had a bad feeling about Keller ever since she'd joined the white collar unit three months ago, and she hadn't trusted how closely he'd been working with their corporate liaison, Vincent Adler, but she had kept her mouth shut because she was the rookie agent, and accusations had to be backed up with evidence, not just a gut feeling.

II. Her intuition seemed to be corroborated when she caught Keller in Neal's office, pawing through some files; he'd smiled his oily smile at her and showed her a folder on supposed mortgage frauds, but she'd seen the flash of writing on it, and she knew it had to do with Adler -- she went to go talk to Caffrey, and at least drop a hint to let him know something might be up, but she couldn't find him anywhere...and then she couldn't find Keller, and her heart sank like a stone.

It's getting to look like a story and I will be glad to see the sentences grow and grow.

I know it's beginning to look like a story. I shouldn't be writing these at all, but this 'verse is fun!

Thanks for reading!
