Picfor1000
Mar. 1st, 2016 10:08 pmSo,
china_shop talked me into doing the
picfor1000 challenge. Sign up, get a picture (all, for this challenge, on the theme of "money") and write a thousand words, exactly, in any fandom you choose.
My photo prompt was here, and this is what I wrote.
Ball in Hand (1000 words) by Cyphomandra
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Young Wizards - Diane Duane
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Carl Romeo/Tom Swale
Characters: Carl Romeo, Tom Swale
Summary:
This is a postscript to An Unwilling Heart, which I wrote ten years ago. No one is going to accuse me of rushing into a sequel, but AUH as it stands is a little over a third of what I originally plotted. I hadn't been able to re-read it since - I did for this, although I bailed the first time and skimmed some bits the second - but I've had my version of the characters in my head the whole time. I am thinking about going back again, although I'm not promising anything in terms of time.
(I am also amused to see that Carl and Tom's entries on the Errantry Wiki are still as minimal as they were when I did AUH. I was convinced while I was writing it that Duane was going to update them with something that would completely joss all my attempts at generating backstory. So far, so good!)

Summary:
Fortunately, Tom's interpersonal skills are better than his pool-playing.
