Star Trek Reboot Drabble Challenge, Mark II
For some reason, it was only yesterday that I realized Memorial Day weekend was upon us. I am sooooo looking forward to a three-day weekend with only one social event to attend. There will be much writing of fanfic and sitting around in sweats. Lolling and indolence! The three weeks after that are going to be INSANE, so I think the indolence is called for.
Yet indolence and frantic ficlet-writing go together beautifully, and the nearly 600 posts (at last count) on the first drabble challenge suggest to me that we need another --
DRABBLE ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER!
The oh-so-demanding rules remain the same as last time:
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 your 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, feel free to link and/or repost in your own LJ or various communities, and have fun!
6) And if you have something you want to write for the first drabble challenge, JOURNEY TO DRABBLE is still going strong!

And if by chance you haven't read any of the ficlets on offer at the first challenge, I highly suggest checking it out. The breadth and quality is AMAZING. So greedily I begin another challenge in hopes of getting more --
