So,[personal profile] china_shop talked me into doing the [community profile] 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:

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


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!)

For Chocolate Box I wrote Rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation (5138 words) by Cyphomandra
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Poe Dameron/Finn
Characters: Poe Dameron, Finn (Star Wars), BB-8, Leia Organa
Additional Tags: Get Together, First Time, Hospitals
Summary:

Finn doesn't like feeling useless.



This is the first time I've actually finished a story in a visual media-based fandom (woo hoo! Somewhere, multiple abandoned stories in Blakes' 7 and X-Files are feeling slightly resentful). It was fun to write but a bit terrifying, both because of that and because this is also a much larger fandom than I usually write in.

I received two gifts:

the two of us (772 words) by pichu
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Missile (Ghost Trick) & Sissel (Ghost Trick), Missile & Sissel
Characters: Sissel (Ghost Trick), Missile (Ghost Trick)
Additional Tags: Relationship Study, Animals
Summary:

A short conversation between Sissel and Missile after everything that happened.



A post-game tag for a game that made me cry; great to revisit the characters and the world.
Travelling (0 words) by MissHammer
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Dragonlance - Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Caramon Majere & Raistlin Majere
Characters: Caramon Majere, Raistlin Majere
Additional Tags: Doodles
Summary:

Even if he's heavy, Raistlin indulges his brother who fell asleep leant on his shoulder.



My first art gift! And for one of my distant nostalgia fandoms. This was really cool and gave me lots of warm fuzzy feelings.

I am planning on doing some more challenges this year, but not sure exactly which yet. Mini-challenge is to actually manage to write at least one treat. This requires me to a)improve my time management and b) write short. I'm not sure which is more unattainable.
