    OK. I did it. I didn't want to but while I was working on the first sentence the second just wouldn't get out of my head. So I posted it.

    Beyond the Saga

    Please note, that I only do this for fun. In no way,shape or form am I any good at it.

    This post has two missions:

    First to put back on the first page so it can be seen and tried. It's one of the most interesting challenges here and everyone is doing so well with it.

    Second to say that I finally got my first sentence finished. I posted it here Beyond the Sage

    Now I'll be hopping into the non-Beyond the Saga boards (which I don't do often enough) to see those entries.

    I can't wait to see what your next sentence is Twich.

    Okay, I did one for the second challenge. It's on the Beyond thread. I started to go one way with it and then it took a left turn. I don't know what happened. I'm still puzzled...

    Woot! Great entries! I'm having fun with this....so I thought I'd bump it back up in case anyone wanted to get involved in the mushy stuff. :)

    This is a cool idea. That sentence sure messes with my head, but it sounds like it should be in the middle of a scene far into the future of my fic *rushes to Word Pro, inspired*

    Maybe I can work with the next sentence though. Thanks for inspiring me [:D]

    Okay, was working on the first sentence this evening. Oops. It is in the Beyond the Saga thread. My first fanfic, too. But this used to be one of my fave timed writing exercises.


    As she wandered down the hallway, she clutched the only weapon that she could find and prayed that none of the blaster bolts dancing from around the corner would find their mark in her. Sword of the Jedi. Hmph. Why not Navigator of the Jedi? Tactician of the Jedi? The Trickster Jedi? Even Kettch the Kriffin Ewok Jedi! Anything but "Sword" of the Jedi! Curse her stupid title, anyway! She'd rather have a sword right now than be "The Sword." Suddenly the blaster bolts from ahead shifted and found purpose as she ducked for cover in a doorway just in time.

    Okay, you twisted my arm. (You guys are really getting good with your use of the Force btw...)

    Here's another sentence. Same rules still apply and all of the other challenges are still open. That way you can choose which you like. :)

    Here's this week's sentence:

    He awoke drenched in sweat with his heart racing and his eyes refusing to focus and the only thing he could think was "Tell me this is not happening."

    Another sentence. Yay=D=

    He awoke drenched in sweat =P~

    Can't focus myself just thinking about it.

    But I'll give it a try. Maybe even a couple of tries, yes? 8-}

    AGHHHHHHH!!!! And here I thought I was all caught up! Now there's another one. Ah well. Now I have something to occupy my time as I go grocery shopping (UNGH). The rest of this on the Beyond the Saga thread.

    *******************************

    As he held her chin in his hands and looked into those beautiful tear filled eyes, he felt a tremor run through his entire body and knew what he had to do. The lift had stopped and they were running out of time. He knew she knew it, too. Kyp was too injured to make it but he could save Jaina and he would. While he cringed inwardly at Jaina's reaction to his decision that she needed "saving", he was determined to follow through no matter the price.

    ********************************

    Swing by and let me know what you think!

    Here we go! And NOW I'm all caught up! hehe. This is fun.
    This is posted in the Beyond thread.

    ************************************

    He awoke drenched in sweat with his heart racing and his eyes refusing to focus and the only thing he could think was, "Tell me this is not happening." But as he became more aware of his surroundings he couldn?t deny that he was in Cighal?s lab with someone, ?No, not ?someone?, but Mara hates my guts Jade Skywalker,? hovering over him while he awoke. Of all the kriffin luck. I should have just stayed in the lift with "Oh, no!"

    ?Where?s Jaina??

    Yeah, I'm definitely loving this.

    Is there a new sentence every week?

    That would be awesome!

    I've been doing about one a week. I figured I'd leave all or any of them open to anyone at any time. Cause you never know which sentence might spawn a plot bunny after all...[face_whistling]

    I nabbed the new first sentence and ran with it. I started a new short story today and that was just the sentence I needed to get me going. I've posted the first chapter in the Saga/First Sentence Challenge and will post the others elsewhere. I always start my fics with OCs to make sure they won't be read :oops:

    Ah. Aha. Neg that, jaya. I found your Recurring Dreams story in the Beyond thread. It was the spooky one.[face_worried] It definitely made me curious, though... will you be going further with it?

    Oh boy, this is an interesting challenge. It just goes to show you how people's minds take different directions with this type of thing. I got inspiration for some of them. Whoot!

    This really isn't fair you know. :p I was all happy with my lack of PB's since I wrote down the last two, and now I have about forty gazillion! :p

    I'll see what I can do though.... [face_mischief] :p

    Well, here's this weeks entry. I love this challenge, very broad range of appilcations.

    -------
    He awoke drenched in sweat with his heart racing and his eyes refusing to focus and the only thing he could think was "Tell me this is not happening." The Wookie shook his head, rubbing a big paw against his temple as he looked around. He had never trusted those clones, from the minute they had set down at the village. They had been just as bad as the droids; they both smelt the same, like metal and hardwiring. The misty night outside the great tree was still lit by the fires, ominous red and orange lights playing across the veils of moisture. Bands of warriors were still out amongst them, hunting down the last of the troopers to have dared set foot on Kashyyyk
    --------

    The rest will be under The Saga thread.
