Wrighter's Bloc

Writing Prompt: A woman with a meat lasagna and a large bottle of Jim Bean.

Introducing A new community, thought up by myself and ohsoawesome_08 the basic idea is, if movies, video games and TV shows can have soundtracks why not books? We also decided to extend it to fanfic, because fic IS the written word.

So, if you have a song, playlist, album, artist or diddy that reminds you of a certain book or fanfic, if you want to see what others recommend, or if you just want some new music, join! bibliotrack

Sorry to do this, I know advertising for other communities is horrible. I'll only do this once, I swear.

I just created a community called thefirstline.

It has the same premise as the challenge I posted. I don't know if anyone tried it, and just didn't post. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Since I was the one that posted the challenge to begin with, I figured I should post this thing. I wrote it up a while ago, but it's so ridiculous, I was scared to post it. Whatever. It was fun.

( I was lost. )

Woohoo! I finally got my internet up and working so that I could post my story thing for bufflie's challenge. So yes... here is my challenge story for the sentence: "I was lost."

( I was lost )

This is part of a Mary Sue parody I'm writing. It's a Harry Potter, Sailor Moon and Lord of the Rings crossover, intended to be set over 1991-1997, although that looks to make it horrendously long. *grimaces*
Anyway. I'd like some thoughts on this part, especially the last scene, because I'm not quite happy with it.

Hi, all. I just wanted to post something on here since it seemed to have up and died. I hope you don't mind kippurbird, but I wanted to post a little challenge.

This isn't my own original idea... but there is a magazine called The First Line (website: www.thefirstline.com) where all short stories for that one issue have to start with the same first line. Then, since you have a group of people from all walks of life with different interests, you get stories that go in all kinds of directions.

Anyway... I wanted to just throw a sentence out there, and then you guys (if you feel so inclined to participate) can just post your stories and we can marvel at everyone's wonderful imaginations. Wonderful idea, yes?

So the sentence is: I was lost.

I hope someone participates. And it really is a fun challenge. I've already attempted two and a half.

And... to keep the same rules as the magazine/site, it should range between 300 and 3000 words, no more no less.

I am about to write a story, and it came to me, that, I only know a few of the true supernatural abilities. Those being telekinesis, telepathy and teleportation. What else is there?

Thanks,

I've recently begun work on a Draco centric fanfiction. I was playing with the idea that, whilst he may not be entirely redeemable, certain circumstances would probably cause him to turn away from being a Death Eater.

The idea kind of grew into it's own plot. I haven't finished the first chapter yet (i'm a bit stuck on how to end it), but i was wondering if, nevertheless, any of you wanted to give an opinion on the story so far. I am particularly interested in how my characterisation of Draco himself is.

Also, i don't have a beta reader at the moment, so if anyone here would like to do it, please do say.

So I'm writing this historical fiction (set in Dark Ages England), and I want to know if any of you lovely people know where I can find something of what life was like in that time period.
I've tried Googling it with no success, so I hope one of you can help.


( The first bit of my new original fic -- it's a rough draft, all the (thousands, I'm sure) historical accuracies will be fixed later )

So, I have a plot bunny. It's a very nice bunny and I'd like your opinion on the workability of said bunny.

It's an Angel bunny.

It starts right around when Liam was turned. One of the whores that he was using finds out that she's pregnant, with his kid. She goes to the grave of Liam to cry about how her baby's never going to see its father when Darla shows up. She hides in the bushes and sees Liam raise up as a vampire and decide to go on his delightful killing spree. She manages to flee the village. Fast forward twenty years. The woman has had her child, a boy, and yet is still in fear for their lives. She's had the boy raised in the church to protect him. They're walking along and run into Angelus and Darla. Angelus is rather delighted to see her, so that he can finish up old buisness. And just for the fun of it, they decided to turn the boy - young man-. Only after the boy is drained and turned, does Angel find out that the kid is his.

Fast foreward to present day, when Connor is still a baby boy. The son comes looking for Angel in an effort to unsoul him. Apparently when Angel got sould it had some adverse effects on him, because they were more than sire and offspring but father and son. He rather get rid of that. He then finds out that Angel has a nice baby boy and decides that well, hell that ain't fair and decides to get rid of Connor as well.

And that's all she's got.

Okay... I've written the prologue to my original novel...I guess I might as well post it up here...

So... that's it. Yeah, it's supposed to be a little vague and ambiguous. Things will be explained later in the story.

So this is in response to challenge #2... yeah, giving you some interests for the list.

1.) Day-dreaming is tons o' fun, and I personally think that all writer's would have interest in that, lol, seeing as having a large imagination requires some breaks in which, we day-dream. :D

2.) Home Movies are just fun. I thought that it was an interesting thing, but home movies are way cool.

3.) Fairy Tales... what good writer would have an interest in fairy tales? lol...

If you want anymore (seeing as I didn't see any other responses) just let me know. :D I have tons!

~L~

It was one of the weirder crossovers that the Department of Improbabilites had encountered. Well it wasn't as bad as the fic where Thranduil was lord of the Nazgul, but was still really weird. Alec and Verra walked Kyle Rayner down to the PPC's fictional psyhc. The fic writer had decided that Kyle was not only the Green Lantern, but Galadriel's long lost son as well. The ring, the writer had decided, was also a missing ring of the elves. Kyle was rather confused speaking a combination of gibberish and Greyelvish.

"Don't worry," Verra said patting him on the shoulder, "Everything will be all right."

Alec nodded and patted Kyle on the butt, "Yes, just you wait. We'll get you straight again in no time." This was said a bit sadly. Apparently the writer had also decided that Kyle and Legolas were soul mates and had to make mad passionate love all the time in many different ways. He was going to be in for a long haul.

They left him in the gentle hands of a nurse and walked back to their Response center, Verra saying, "Just because he was temporarily gay doesn't mean you get to pat his butt."

Hi, this is my first post here. I need some good old constructive criticism on an original fantasy fiction piece i've been working on.

Any pointers you can give me are most welcome, even if you hate it.

( Prologue )
( Chapter One )

Got an idea for a chellenge (yes, this is me procrastinating on the interests challenge. You try writing something for cookies. It's hungry work).
Someone on deleterius put up an OT message about an assignment she had to do in English, and I thought it was majorly cool. You are given two sentences from published books. The first must start your story. The second must end it. What comes in between is up to you. Fun, no?

Challenge Number two: Or in which Kippur is really lazy.

We need an interest list for the community. So instead of trying to come up with intersts by my lonesome I have decided to let you decided what shall go on it. BUT since that is not much of a challenge, there is more to it.

First: The three items for the interest list must come from your own interest list. Put them in the subject heading so, I being lazy can find them easily.

Second: Write a short something with them.

Three: ... umm... there is no number three, but if you have more suggestions for the interest list go for it.

Kips, this is entirely your fault. I now have my own LJ, solely because I wanted to join this and would have felt silly using a PPC agent journal for it. Expect drabbles of my own semi-in-progress novel sooner or later. For now I'll have a go at the bubble thing.

I know it's very very different from the other ones. ...Good. I like to be different.

I'm reposting this into a separate post incase no one was going back to check the original Challenge 1 entry. Who would have thought that this challenge would be this... well... challenging. My first one was long and horrible... I hope this one is better :)

Hello. I am new to this community and I have written my own story to the challenge "Death of a Bubble". It's a little strange... but that's okay. Feedback is cool... I guess. I dunno. I don't really think that I would need feedback on this. But please read.

It's behind the cut...
