Star Trek Reboot Drabble Challenge!
I have not yet seen the season finale of "Fringe" -- I have been eager to watch but had a lot to do last night, so put it off. So, naturally, today I make my round of the TV/Entertainment news site, and the headlines are all, FRINGE FINALE GAME-CHANGER or FRINGE VAULTS INTO TOP TIER OF TV WITH SEASON ENDER or HOLY SHIT DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED ON FRINGE and the like. EW has two posts up so far already! So please please pretty please don't spoil me! I am trekking tonight, but hope to watch when I get home or first thing tomorrow morning.
Now, back to Trek. Got lots of Reboot movie thoughts but not much fic-writing time? You're in luck, because here and now, we have a ficlet challenge!
JOURNEY TO DRABBLE
The rules, such as they are:
1) Just choose a prompt and write about it. It doesn't have to be a proper 100-word drabble if you don't want -- feel free to write ficlets, full-length fic or epic novels, if so inclined.
2) Post it in comments. (If by chance the story is too long for comments, you can put it elsewhere and link it here.)
3) Prompts are non-exclusive. If multiple people want to write about the same prompt, that's great.
4) As I wrote the prompts, I intended the slash mark between names to indicate a romantic connection, an "and" between names to indicate friendship/comradeship/whatever. However, feel free to turn any of the romantic prompts platonic, or vice versa, if you are so inclined.
5) Please pimp this around, leave FB for good drabbles, and have fun!
