This is the HOME STRETCH! ONE WEEK UNTIL THIS CHALLENGE IS COMPLETE!




Every day you will see a post with 4 prompts like so: 1. a place, 2. a color, 3. an action and 4. a random word.

All you have to do is create an icon or a drabble (or more) for that day using at least one (or more) of the prompts.

There are no other rules! Any fandom/s (or none); any character/s; a one-off each day or a continuous story for several days; post it one day at a time, post 7 creations altogether once a week, or just post in one lump at the end! It's all up to you. Take the prompts and run with them; no interpretation is wrong!

Day 38
1. a place: Movies
2. a color: Mocha
3. an action: Sharpening a Blade
4. a random word: Medicine

Good luck and have fun!

Thursday Tropes: Week 25

[simplyn2deep.livejournal.com]

So...I completely spaced that today is Thursday and that's why I didn't have this up hours ago.


It's been a minute, hasn't it? Well, we're back...and maybe slightly different?



This time around...A. FULL. YEAR. OF. TROPES!

Some Thursdays will have 2 tropes, some will have 3, but I think the majority will have 1 that's really popular.

Descriptions will be pulled from TV Tropes and a link provided if you want more information.

The rules? They're simple. Write at least 250 words or create 2 icons/1 banner. Anything from suggestive to outright porn is allowed.

This week, there is 1 trope!

Child Marriage Veto: An Arranged Marriage is set up for a young person (usually a daughter) by her parents, but the child refuses to go through with it. Her refusal may be eventually accepted, with or without a lot of conflict and drama, so that she is free to remain single or marry her true love. Or, she may suffer Honor-Related Abuse, depending on just where on the Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism the show is.

In older tales, a group of sisters may be offered the bridegroom; only the youngest is willing to consent. She invariably ends up with a fine bridegroom.

The child may be adult or underage, the trope covers the entire spectrum from the nicest forms of Arranged Marriage to Old Man Marrying a Child.

Contrast Parental Marriage Veto. For works where the child wishes she had refused the marriage, see Marital Rape License.

Passing the Daily Count Torch to candream

[backrose-17.livejournal.com]

Well I managed to get my daily word count in for Camp NaNo, I am nearing 10k which makes me very happy. I had a migraine that kept me in bed for most of the day and then thankfully after an afternoon nap, (seriously why aren't adults allowed nap time?) I got some writing done. I also got a few new fic ideas plotted out for stories I plan on writing after Camp NaNo, so it was a pretty good day besides the migraine.

Of to you candream
