Weekend Challenge: Horror & Sci-fi Movie taglines

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone! My turn for the Weekend Challenge! This time around I found an old list of prompts with a bunch that hadn't been used, so I figured they might be fun.

Comment here to ask for as many prompts as you'd like and I'll give you some random choices from my list. If you don't want to go quite so random, give me a letter or some letters of the alphabet and I'll choose a movie under the letter/s (or nearby if that letter isn't represented) that you give me.

The prompts are all taglines from horror and/or sci-fi (and some fantasy, and some humorous ones loosely in the genre) movies, and you can use them however you like. Write in that fandom, have characters you write watching or talking about the movie, use something (no matter how loosely) from the tagline in your fill, make icons or a wallpaper around it, or any other way of using it that you choose! It's all good! No lower or upper limits on number of words/graphics!

Link us to your creation in a comment here by Thursday midnight in your timezone, and I'll reward you via an icon or two of your choice, or 100 words on a WIP!

Now, ask me for prompts! I'm ready! ;-)

Well... that happened.

I've cut back on my goal and am just going for my normal 10K this month because the month has not been pleasant to me. (Spent about 7 hours on Monday in the ER and am still trying to recover. I'm mostly tired now not so much with the other sick).

I haven't really written all week due to being flat out exhausted. And then I took a 2.5 hour nap today (meant to sleep like an hour, but that didn't work so well.)

Anyway, I did get 723 words written on my Swap of Joy and it's about half done so go me. I've got the next week off (except for 2 3 hour shifts) so I'm hoping to cram a lot of writing in. I've got 2 goals this week writing wise: finish my Swap of Joy and write a Quotation story since that's due November 30. I'll probably also use that for November's Patreon.

Turning it over to agdhani to start our week off right. Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends and Happy end of November to everyone else.
