Comment Fic...Day 9

[simplyn2deep.livejournal.com]

Comment fic is the next long challenge and it will go from July 16th to Aug 31st.

Comment fic is all about writing a short fic that will fit in an LJ comment field, so that's about 700-800 words, max. You can write less, but aim for over 200 words if you can. You can do one every day, or for however many days you want.

Link your creations to the daily post where you found the prompt - either by posting the entire fic in a comment, or just by a link (also in a comment) back to wherever you've posted it.

Thems the rules! Everything else is up to you! I will give you a prompt every day, and you can do with it as you will, so long as it fits into a comment. Any genre, any characters, any fandom or none!

Today's prompt: Getting a pet

There will be another prompt tomorrow!
