1_million_wordsHapppppy Friiiiiiday!!! (woo hoo!). It's time for our weekend challenge. Here's how we'll play it this time around!
Give me a number between one and thirty. I will use that number to give you two separate bits of inspiration:
1- A random prompt from a nifty grab bag i've assembled. There are some one liners in there, some scenarios, and also some lists of 'three random things.'
2- I'll pull you a quote from one of the movies rated to be in the top 100 ever (by some authority or other). I randomize this, too - so picking #1 or #30 will not necessarily mean a quote from the movie rated #1 or #30 -- I start at various points in the list and go up or down the list in order to vary things up. Hope that makes sense.
If the prompts don't work for you I might be able to give you a second draw - likely Saturday AM, once I see if I have enough to go around. If the prompts runeth dry, that second draw will be a random song from my Spotify list.
Rewards: Write 100 words or more and share them by Sunday 11pm Eastern and I'll either make you two icons or put 500 words on a WIP, said WIP of mine to absolutely be published and add to our countable words by next week.
So gimme a number, and good luck!!!

2- From the Maltese Falcon
Kasper Gutman: You're a close-mouthed man?
Sam Spade: Nah, I like to talk.
Kasper Gutman: Better and better. I distrust a close-mouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking's something you can't do judiciously, unless you keep in practice.

Date: 2016-01-29 09:46 pm (UTC)1- Dear Past Me, Dear Future Me: Have your character write letters to their past and future selves. Maybe it’s an exercise imposed on them, or maybe it’s their way of figuring out what their heart wants. Does what they write guide their future, or do they fail to listen to themselves?
2- From High Noon:
Will: Stay at the hotel until it's over.
Amy: No, I won't be here when it's over. You're asking me to wait an hour to find out if I'm going to be a wife or a widow. I say it's too long to wait! I won't do it!
Will: Amy!
Amy: I mean it! If you won't go with me now, I'll be on that train when it leaves here.

2- From Wuthering Heights:
Heathcliff: How can you stand here beside me and pretend not to remember? Not to know that my heart is breaking for you? That your face is the wonderful light burning in all this darkness?

2- From Rear Window:

2- From The Grapes of Wrath:
Casy: Maybe there ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue, they's just what people does. Some things folks do is nice and some ain't so nice, and that's all any man's got a right to say.

Date: 2016-02-01 02:40 am (UTC)Tenative Title: In the Absence of Bat Signals
Fandom: Stargate SG-1
“So that’s a no, then?”
“Sorry, sir. We don’t have any way to initiate a signal back to the Prometheus via the subcutaneous transponders.”
“Still, it would be cool. Sort of like a bat signal.”
Carter ducked her head and smiled.
“Why would you wish to summon bats, O’Neill? I do not believe the blind marsupials would facilitate our escape.”
“No, Teal’c. He was referring to Batman. A comic book character that they later turned into a campy television program and then a series of movies ...”
Jack grinned and tuned out the rest of Daniel’s explanation. He loved making Carter laugh. It was one of the many things he missed while stationed at the Pentagon. Actually he missed it all: his team, the adventures, the banter. Even if it meant being locked in yet another alien prison while awaiting the arrival of the bad guy.

2- From An American in Paris:
Jerry Mulligan: What gets me is, I don't know anything about her. We manage to be together for a few moments and then off she goes. Sometimes we have a wonderful time together and other times it's no fun at all. But I got to be with her.

Date: 2016-01-30 09:37 pm (UTC)1- Your character somehow gets an undo for one event in their life- or perhaps is asked what that one ‘undo’ would be spent on. What do they choose, and what is the result?
2- Quote from "From Here to Eternity"
Alma: Sit down and - and get comfortable. I'll make you a martini and see what's to cook for dinner.
Robert E. Lee "Prew' Prewitt: Hey, this is like being married, ain't it?
Alma: It's better.
