The Ridiculously-Specific ?Don?t Blame Me?Blame the OC!? Challenge

Partway through, and it's actually serious! I even got the worst phrases out of the way without sounding silly.

Go figure. I finally get a challenge that lends itself to being absolutely ridiculous, and I write a serious piece.

EDIT: Finished, and posted in the Before thread.

 

Can it be? Quitters?

C'mon, guys... You can do it!

 

I suppose they just weren't strong enough...

 

Luke: I... I can't do it. It's got too many requirements!

Yoda: No! No different it is than writing the 10-minute challenge! The difference, in your mind, it is!

Luke: [dubiously] Well, I'll try...

Yoda: Do not try. Do, or do not. There is no try.



[edit: By the way, when do I get to be added to the list of brave souls? ]

 

Where's the linky-dinky?

 

Said it was in the Before thread... didn't figure I needed redundant link postage. But, since y'all seem to need a little extra nudging...

The Before The Saga Thread in which my Lovely Little Story is the Second One to be Posted.

 

oqi- Do you think that's it? I think it's just LACK OF MOTIVATION!! Lazies! Infidels! Pansies! Don't give up, my dears; it's difficult (ridiculously so, in fact), but think about that warm, fuzzy feeling you'll get when you're finished!

DWH- Sowwy, honey. You are as brave a soul as anyone, and ze list, she is fixed now. I guess this proves that I'm human... Oh no. My cover's blown. Please don't tell anyone else!

 

Oh my word, I looked at the guildlines and I almost fell over. You guys are insane to do this, but I admit it looks so tempting just by the sheer insanity of it.
So, I may just have to try it becasue otherwise I'm going to be thinking about it forever. *wince*
But if I do try it it won't be as good as what you guys have done, just warning you.

 

Fluff,
I do think the others aren't strong enough--agri-corp material through and through. The requirements weren't that bad.

Sorry for missing your link DWH. Sometimes I miss things, like June, most of July and 2/3 of yesterday.

Is okay, I think I might be able to forgive you.

I'll push the forgiveness paperwork through much more quickly if you feed me cookies.

 

Terrible thing is I really did misplace Tuesday and only realized it was Wednesday at around 930 pm. So my 2/3 of yesterday actually refers to Monday 1 August with 2 August being totally unaccounted for. I think aliens abduct me on a regular basis.

I will bake you some guunga fruit cookies.

 

Aliens, eh? Gotta watch out for those little dudes... I think they masquerade as small children at the pool.

Oooo, guunga fruit cookies. Just so long as it's not a spoiled bunch of fruits, I think we have a winner.

 

Ok, I've done it. The challenge wouldn't leave me alone so I had to give in.
I'll post it once I read through it again.

 

Very good, Iryla! We're so proud of you!

*Feeds DWH some chocolate chip cookies* I don't think you'd like guunga cookies, guys... as guungas sorta taste bad and smell like icky feet.

oqidaun- Now you sound like me. "Wait...it's THURSDAY?! You're KIDDING!"

 

*Kicks the thread back up, looking irritable*

Bad day...whaddo I do? ...Come home, kick the thread...

Come on, guys. What happened to the rest of you? Was it too much?

( Don't even TRY that excuse.)

For the innocent reader who meanders innocently by...check out some of these responses. They're great stuff.

 

*stares at the challenge guidlines and faints*

Oh lord...

It certainly is an interesting challenge. *grins* Now that I've got an OC (several in fact), I might as well try it.

OOOOHHH! The plot bunnies have struck!

Edit: Is there a deadline for this?

 

Hey, in all fairness, I'm still working on an entry to this. I've just been busy lately.

Get back to me around December

 

Exeter: You're still working on this? *drags out drums and bullwhip for inspiration* Write, write, write!


**** the thread back up, looking irritable*

Few are strong enough, brave enough and completely brilliant enough to succeed in this twisted endeavor, which makes those of us who did look even more gifted.

 

thesporkbewithyou- I encourage that!! (No, there isn't a deadline.)

Exeter- Hey, that's all right--my birthday is December the sixth.

*Hugs the brave, strong, and completely brilliant oqi, whom F_S has sworn undying affection to* You keep calling the challenge "twisted" and "sadistic"...yet you jumped eagerly forward with your response right away. So...nyah!

Hey! Hey! Replies! Replies!

*Releases a kennel of bunnies at the writers' feet* NIBBLE, MY BUNNIES! NIBBLE!

Edit: I've come up with another challange, if you're interested. It can be found here.

 

I may attempt this. I can see either Marielle or Eliandu causing lots of accidental chaos.

Don't know when and if I'll ever get this thing done, but... I'll try!!

 

Of course you want to do it Tael, it's really a lot of fun once you get it done. *nods*

 

Iryla, will you be our poster child?

(Go for it, Tael. Good luck.)

 

LOL, I'm afraid that my work isn't quite up to par as the other people who've taken on this challenge. ^_^

 

Oh, poppycock.

I loved your ficcy.
