    Thanks, @devilinthedetails ! That is a pretty photo. :)

    Okay, so, when I first read the thread it reminded me of the Mods' Time Challenge with the style of prompts and such. I was aware of that. What I didn't expect later on was to have this reflexive sense of utter paranoia about the mere fact of opening my assigned prompt. "Don't open it yet! You're not ready! WAIT WAIT WAIT! What time is it?! Am I allowed to open it yet? The clock's gonna start as soon as I hit that button! gah!!!!"

    ahem. yes.

    You are most welcome, @Thumper09, and I'm so glad you like your photo! Hopefully it inspires a great story!:)

    This challenge is definitely very similar to the Time Challenge with the tiers and styles of prompts, but luckily, everyone has until November 27th to get their responses in, so there isn't quite the same time crunch this time around!

    Oh, gosh, no! You're right that the prompt sets are very much along the same lines as the Mods' Time Trials, except this time there isn't such a tight schedule—you are absolutely free take your dear time until November 27. (And I see I'm ninja'd! :D )

    You're all frankly insane, and no, I'm not signing up, Mira. I have enough to write :p But I am happy to throw in a few prompts of my own for our lovely mod crew [face_batting] Am I allowed to have both my prompt submissions from the same element category? If so, here are two lines of dialogue for you:

    “It’s of cultural importance for bees to have dancing at their funerals.” -The Funeral, from Fragments of Jade, my Kessel Run response
    “Turns out there’s a lot of blood in a human.” -And Have We Done With War At Last?

    If they have to be from different element categories, you are absolutely stuck with the bee line and I'll be back with something else :p

    @Gabri_Jade I see no reason why your two elements can't come from the same category, so I added both your bits of dialogue to our challenge index:)

    HOW DID YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY NEXT?? (*whispers* are you suuuuuuure? look at that little, not-so-scary three prompt tier. [face_batting])

    [face_rofl] [face_rofl]

    Perfect prompt is perfect, I say! I'd expect nothing less! [face_love] :*

    I'm honestly sitting here thinking of all the ways to say "absolutely not, I have two WIPs that are the priority and half a dozen more on the drawing board, you and Vi gave me a whole other mega prompt months ago that I still haven't gotten near, and besides, you'll both gloat forever if I sign up for this," but you know what, fine, give me number five on tier one, please :oops: I PROMISE NOTHING

    [face_batting] [:D]

    Might give the three prompt teir a shot, but can`t promise anything if Darth RL remains as fickle as last month... Say number 4

    I can't stop laughing, if there was ever a trope I constantly return to, it's that one. Maybe I'll be able to do this after all :p

    Yaaaaaas, give into the power of the manic prompt ping pong madness! [face_mischief] [face_devil]


    That's the positive peer pressure I'm talking about! *high fives Vi*

    (Does that count as gloating? I promise not to gloat too much. ;))


    *gloats just a tiny bit more* :p


    Yay! I hope you're able to keep the inspiration streak alive with that prompt. :D

    I have no idea how I turned into this person :p

    I have brought this upon myself :oops:

    A more accurate assessment would be "Vi will gloat forever while you will convincingly wheedle all the more the next time a challenge arises" :p

    I've decided!

    Dialogue: "And you won't have to think about the rotting!" from Tactless (which I posted under a sock, but it's me :p)
