    Goodie. I've never seen Andromeda, but the titles make for some interesting prompts.

    Well, I finally chose one title, and am trying to build my story. I hope I'll be able to tell it within the 1,000 word limit as it's promising to become an epic. [face_laugh] At least it has an epic feel.

    I've never really liked Andromeda but one title has me completely hooked. I like this second Challenge better than the first. :p

    You know, all those titles gave me so many plot bunnies, but I can't decide which to write! It's to hard to choose! :( I think this one is gonna take me a bit longer than last time. :p

    I've always Andromeda, it's kinda of a sill little sci-fi show [face_alien_1] , but it was enjoyable ([face_thinking] or maybe I just thought they guy who played the mechanic Harper was cute :p ). I was looking for a good show when I though of this challenge, but all of the shows had really Earthy titles and were not very inspiring. Then I saw a commercial for an Andromeda rerun and I though why not! Low and behold there were some pretty inspiring titles there! :D

    I'm fairly sure I already saw a couple of those titles as ff titles here. Though I'm not entirely certain.

    I went through 3 different titles/half baked plot bunnies before deciding on one. The last one was much easier for me! Too many ideas for this one. :p

    I decided on a title. I came up with a story idea. I tweaked it until I liked what I had.

    I now have a rabid plot bunny that has nothing to do with the title.

    *sigh*

    Back to the drawing board, I guess.

    Well, I have the plotline for mine all in my head, and have written some of it... the trouble is keeping it in the 1000 word limit! This is definitely going to be one story that will be expanded because it has too much potential to be a one-shot. Though to my delight, I did get a request for the first one to be extended.

    I'm glad you all are having fun with this prompt!! :D They could get harder as we go, so enjoy it now! ;)

    You only have a little over 2 days left to get your story in! The deadline is 11:59 Tuesday night!

    I will tell you all that it will be later in the evening when I get the stories up, I'll be at clinicals on Wed from 6:45am to 7pm (EST) and have a 1 hour drive to and from the hospital. [face_tired] But I'll get them up as soon as I get home! :)
