Challenge The Fifty Sentence Challenge: 2013 Edition - May's prompts are here!

Alrighty people, it is a new year, a new board, and that means new sentences - those fantastic little gems of stories which are like drabbles. Only . . . less.

The Instructions:

1. Every month, on the first, for as long as people are interested, a prompt table will be posted. Your goal is to take these 50 prompts to create 50 sentences to form a full story. There will be only one table a month this round to give muses and people some breathing room.

2. Any fandom is up for grabs. But, that same fandom should be used throughout the set of fifty sentences you are writing.

The Rules:

1. Each prompt is for one sentence, and one sentence only. While you should feel free to stretch the laws of grammar and slaughter commas, use common sense while doing so.

2. All of the sentences must be posted together. No 25 of them here, or 25 of them there.

3. Each sentence may be independent of each other, or they may be continuations. (For example: “How are you?” and then “Just fine.” may be done under two different prompts.)

4. You can do the same table twice for more than one fandom – the whole point of this is to write. You can keep your replies in the same thread, or you can keep separate threads. Although, if you are going to participate regularly, I would recommend keeping these in the same thread to prevent a mini-fic overload on the boards.

5. Unlike the first round, please feel free to write for old tables, even as new ones are posted. We are looking to inspire your muse in any way how.

6. There will be no mixing of the themes from the different sets. You commit to a set like a spouse. Learn to love the whole of it – even the pesky prompts that bother you.

7. Do the prompts in order – once again, learn to love the good and bad of a set. There's no excuse for lazy writers!

8. A no-brainer – but keep the sentences TOS friendly.

9. I had to have a nine here so that ten would feel important.

10. Have fun!

Rule #3 has me confused. Aren't those two separate sentences to begin with?

I might do this, ask me again tomorrow morning when it's not 1 am.

Thinking seriously about this. Not sure what fandom to choose.

I saw this and cheered! My muse saw this and went "Ohhhh Shannon guess what we're starting tonight!" So thanks Mira my muse saw this and immediately starting thinking of what I can do with it....

I ambushed my muse (or was it the other way around?) when she was still half asleep and came up with this:

For Nothing Is Set in Stone

Sorry about the format, but putting the prompts in between sentences just doesn't work for me. Not that I mind it in other people's stories, mind you.

Well I said I'd do it and I did it.

Stargate SG-1 ftw!

The Eternal City

I have one sentence. Better than none, right.

I've decided on 'Once Upon A Time'. The Queen doesn't interest me much, but Gold, Emma, Henry, Snow, Charming, et al are another story(pun intented) altogether. My wife and I are watching Season 1 on Netflix.

No promises, but I'm trying.

I have a new computer so I'll be writing soon! And these will help the muse along!

For the January Prompts... fifty drabbles. (I didn't think, when I asked if I could do drabbles instead, that I'd end up doing 'em for Robocop. But it works...)
