Prompt #244: Best/Worst '80s Movie Titles
Apologies for the continuing delays in the posting of new prompts. Meatlife is proving to be a terrible distraction and timethief. Thanks go to nevcolleil for suggesting this next prompt, and thusly reminding me to actually post a prompt this week. ;)
Prompt #244 at slashthedrabble is "Best/Worst '80s Movie Titles".
The titles are the inspiration, not the movies themselves, so you don't need to have seen it to write it. ;)
Drabbles of 100 words and ficlets of 200, 300, 400 and 500 words exactly are acceptable, and please use cut tags. Have fun!
Also, as this is a multi-fandom community, please remember to add a header mentioning which fandom(s) and pairing(s) you are drabbling in. Thanks. :D
A new challenge will be posted around midnight EST on the 31th March, 2010. (That's 5am on the 1st April, London time.) Feel free to drop a reminder comment here if it looks like I've forgotten (again).
Suggestions for future prompts are always welcome, and can be made on any mod post. The list of previous prompts can be found here.
