Title: Sweet Nothings (Challenge: Meetings) Word Count: 100 "Marco, the shuttle is leaving soon." "I'll make it fast, promise." Ax's tail shrinks into his spine, his stalk eyes retract. Moments later, he sways slightly on two legs. Marco places a hand on his shoulder and his body immediately steadies. The other hand slides along his cheek. Ax has enough time to wonder what this means before Marco kisses him. The taste of his friend, a flavor that is his alone, unnamable. "Why?" is all Ax can manage when they part. Marco presses their foreheads together, breathes deeply, once. "How else am I going to say goodbye to you?" Sun, Jan. 6th, 2008, 03:40 am
7_letter_word: Hello. I'm new.
Drabble Challenge (#001): Meetings
Word Count: 104 = breaking the limit on my first one :-) Title: Parent/Teacher Conference
The boy shifted uncomfortably in the plastic chair, finally bored with shooting spitballs. He thought about eavesdropping again, but decided to watch the clock instead: It was after two before his mom, dad, and Ms. Spencer came out of the office.
“The Vice Principal would like to see you alone,” Ms. Spencer said, smugly.
Great, the boy stood. Now I have to be lectured by a guy who’s not even important enough to be a real principal.
The office was plain and way too organized.
“You understand why we can’t have this type of behavior at school?”
“Yes, Sir.”
Right, that’ll be all, Hedrick.” Thu, Nov. 8th, 2007, 12:22 pm
wingsofcharity: An apology and this week's challenge: California
Okay, no. There's no explaination for the hiatus; I just fail at being your mod. As always: challenges never close and there's no limit to how many drabbles you can post to one challenge :) So even if I suck at giving weekly challenges, there's no true shortage of prompts. Also, feel free to suggest things! In fact, it would help me greatly to get feedback from you; I'm running out of creative challenges =D On that note, for this week, it's California.

felinephoenix: Midgets [future challenge]
Title: Midgets [future challenge] Word Count: 100 A/N: For my friend trelali, who wanted a Rachel-Marco friendship drabble with the premise: "Because I said no," plus a Bossy!Marco. She was doing the Puppy Dog Eyes. I hate it when she does the Puppy Dog Eyes. "Marco, can't we--?" "No," I crossed my arms and tried to look tough. Not so easy to do when you're only like... maybe the same height as someone, by the way. "Puh-leeze?" Now she was flashing me that grin. Not the 'oh, I'm about to something reckless and violent that'll get us all killed' grin, but the 'gosh, I'm an awfully cute blonde girl, aren't I?' grin. Which might've worked before I dated a lot of pretty blonde girls. Okay, it still kind of worked. A little. But don't tell Rachel or Tobias that. "No. You can't just enslave a species like that. Isn't that what we fought a war for?" Rachel rolled her eyes. "I'm not enslaving them, they want to follow me. Besides, they're Helmacrons, who'll miss them?" I tried to puff out my chest. Keyword, tried. "Rachel." She just grinned. "Marco. Come on, I came back from the dead! Don't I deserve a cult of little midgets? I so deserve midgets." Fri, Jun. 29th, 2007, 11:42 pm
daythirtynine: does this even fit the challenge?
Sky word count: 100 Cassie was a pile of puzzle pieces, brown cardboard side up and edges broken off and she only felt complete when she had a pair of wings and osprey eyes, watching ants crawl on the grass from a million miles up in puffy white clouds. Life without words was making her tired and she stood every night in the forest looking up at the blinking stars hoping one will turn fiery red and rocket down to her feet where her friends would step out and laugh with her till their stomachs hurt. Ten years later, she has not lost hope. Tue, Jun. 26th, 2007, 05:51 pm
wingsofcharity: Challenge: futurefic
This week's theme is Futurefic. A total crack challenge, if you want my opinion. The board is free for you to do whatever you want with the Animorphs' lives, post-54 =D Wed, May. 30th, 2007, 11:01 pm

Lost Time (Challenge: Choice) Word Count: 100 At one moment, he was in a place that should never have existed. At the next, he opened his eyes to the blues and greens of a planet he’d only seen in pictures. So he undertook a briefer journey that, he thought, would be just as permanent He ran from a nightmare of battle, the forever-vanished face of a friend, and the unspeakable casualty of his prince. He stripped away both memory and body, rebuilt himself into someone greater than the strands of DNA he chose to combine. And greater still, because when it was done, Loren was with him.

teremala:
Free or Dead [Challenge: Choice] Words: 103 Not flesh, but cold metal casing. Not thought, but electrical shots, hidden from touch. Not human, not host, not alive. Deaf and blind and mute, I was alone. Until: < It is over, Yeerk.> I had passed a war in my cage. The empire had fallen; my leaders were dead. Everything I had known was gone. The choice was mine, he had said, but it was clear. Go out there, into a world that would hate me? No. I now run through the trees, tail swinging. I yelp madly, leaping with my pack amongst the bushes and scattered robots. I live.

wingsofcharity: Challenge: Choice
This week's challenge (or the challenge until the next time I post O.o) is Choice.You could have all kinds of fun with that. As in, something dreadfully important, life or death, teenage Lifetime-esque drama, or -- as more relative to me at this moment -- plain old what's for dinner. Fri, May. 11th, 2007, 05:15 pm
wingsofcharity: Challenge: Minor Characters
Title: Serendipity [for the challenge "minor characters"]Word Count: 97 There were a lot of bulletins about missing people after ... did it even have a name? The End? The Beginning? The Day Everyone Got Their Own Brains Back? Roger was a good man. Military man, taxpayer, two-year slave to the Yeerks. As an FBI agent, he figured he had more sophisticated means of finding a lost love one than fliers posted on church doors and the "are you still alive?" notices in the newspaper. But it became one year, and then two. "Where is he? Where's David? Where's my son?" "It's a long story," said Marco. Wed, May. 9th, 2007, 01:54 pm
wingsofcharity: Challenge: Minor Characters
This week's challenge is Minor Characters. Because we like vague :) So give us 100 words about Eva, Melissa, Aftran, whoever. They can be the focus of your drabble, or you could talk about them, through them, or hell, just mention them once =D But let's give the minor characters of Animorphs some love!

wingsofcharity: Challenge: 2007
Hey, all! amaronith posted an unofficial lyric prompt, and c'mon, who doesn't love lyric prompts? =D The drabbles were posted in reply to the post, so in case it's disappeared off your flist, the post can be found here. I'm sure amaronith wouldn't object to more love :) And... because I missed posting this week, the challenge for the general area of time until I next post is 2007. So the Animorphs would be... how old and what are they doing? =D Tue, May. 1st, 2007, 04:08 am
amaronith: Not an "Official" Challenge, but...
I am laid up in bed as I recover from my foot surgery and I just thought it would be interesting to see what people came up with for this lyrical prompt I have. I can also send you the song if you ask. Prompt/Challenge: "It's the light you're after, 'cause light moves faster" ....um, if this isn't allowed, I'll delete it. EDIT: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D3QJA7BUyou can download the song from there. I also forgot to mention before that I would be more than happy to write something for you in return should you accept the challenge.

stormfairy: Challenge: Hork-Bajir
Yes, I suppose the week is up, but here goes anyway. And yes, I know I've cheated. (Please do not blame me for the twists of my unruly mind. It's out of my hands, I tell you.) Title: Project Seraph Challenge: Hork-Bajir (inspired) Word count: 110 Seraph-A64 waited behind the Andalite Prince, wondering what his private thoughtspeech hid. She was a novelty, already proven in man's eyes, there to prove man in Andalite eyes. While Andalites had tails, Hork-Bajir blades, man's only natural weapon remained his wit. Wit, which had produced Project Seraph. Man had gone far in 50 years. Beneath her skin hid metal copies of a Hork-Bajir's blades, extractable by thought. Another thought produced gliding wings - the namesake of herself and her siblings. The Andalites moved. Seraph-A64 followed. "Prince. Shall I come?" Doubting eyes spoke before words. <Can you use those blades, Seraph?> "Naturally." But doubting minds had been well bribed. <Then come.>

This is actually inspired by the last person's post(thank you!) because I read theirs and thought that "forgetting" was the challenge. So I hope this is okay. Title: Speculating Words: 111 ( Speculating ) Wed, Apr. 18th, 2007, 07:08 pm
crash_g0ddess: Challenge: Hork-Bajir
Title: Forget Challenge: Hork-Bajir Word Count: 107 I am a Hork-Bajir, and I had a name once. In our language, it meant “new sun.” I was named in the spirit of change; in the hope of freedom. The hope vanished when I came to a useful age and was infested along with the others. A creature slid into my ear with a name of his own, and I ceased to exist. Even as he became me, or I him, the Yeerk never bothered to learn my name. If there is one thing I have learned here, it is that the Yeerks never ask. I lost my name then, and that was what they wanted. Wed, Apr. 18th, 2007, 05:32 pm
wingsofcharity: Challenge: Hork-Bajir
Hello, everyone! This week's challenge features our favorite walking can-openers, the Hork-Bajir! Have fun writing :D Wed, Apr. 11th, 2007, 05:11 pm

wingsofcharity: Challenge: Driving
Hello! I hope you all had a nice Easter. I'm under a foot of snow here, so wishings of warm weather to you. This week's challenge was suggested quite a while ago by djtifabal, and it's Driving. Learning to drive is a major milestone in any teenager's life, even ones working on fighting an alien invasion =D You could write about any of that, or whatever image you get with the word "driving." Have fun! Be creative! Tue, Apr. 3rd, 2007, 07:05 am
