Rating: PG
Time Frame: Everywhere
Characters: Everyone

Summary: Snippets from a dozen fandoms for the 2012 Fifty Sentence Challenge.

Notes: Because a table a month is much more feasible a goal than four tables. This year I fully anticipate completing the challenge as it was meant to be.

Disclaimer: Nothing is mine, but for the words.
