Fic Challenge #7: Micro-teeny-weeny...

[tommo]

On the suggestion of len (our gracious and moderator before whom I bow with unadulterated...oh wait, I was channelling a minon just then, oops) this week's challenge is a micro-fic. I love the way I post these challenges and xita always says she'll do one, and then never does. *stares at xita*

Anyway, len suggested a micro fic. Which, for those of you who aren't sure, is a fic that has a limited amount of words; it has to be short and to the point.

I'm kind of worried, but you know, I usually am. And I must get some scrambled eggs, because I've been thinking about their buttery taste for the last hour....

Challenge 7 - Micro Fic.

1) The fic must be 50 words in length. No more, no less. Heh, I'm such a bitch, I know, I know...

2) It has to take place in the magic shop.

3) Tara has to shout "I've got one!"

4) You need to have the sound of a door creaking somewhere in it.

5) Somebody drops a book.

And that's yer lot. Look, okay, I just make 'em up, I don't bloody own them...alright?

[Righteous Babe]

Cool, I like this idea, I had to do the same thing for a Creative Writing class, but as had to use exactly 55 words and have some kind of conflict in it from beginning to end.

Anyways my stupid question is: A and I count as words right? I know the answer but I'm still being stupid and asking.

Anyways here is what I wrote: *I know it sucks*

"I've got one!" Tara shouted as she held a toad’s foot in her hand.

"You’re really getting to know this shop better then me, sweetums" Willow said grinning fondly.

Suddenly they heard the door creak open to reveal Tara's father. Willow dropped a book she was reading from a ladder.

[tommo]

Yep, 'a' and 'I' count as words. The only thing you don't count is punctuation.

[FroggyFrog]

Oooo! Microfic!

---------------

"Try again?" Willow said.

"Um.. okay." Tara said. She rested a book on the edge of the table.

Willow opened the door, which creaked loudly. Tara yelled "I got one" and knocked the book off the table.

A box of chocolates appeared.

"Dumb spell." Willow said.

"Nice choccy." Tara said.

(I am counting Sweat-soaked as one word...so sue me.)
WARNING: Quasi PG-13

Two witches locked in an embrace, and Willow’s hand was the only thing covering Tara’s sweat-soaked body.

“I’ve got one.” Tara lifted a dripping strawberry.

A door creaked. A book dropped.

“Dear lord… on my couch?” Giles paled.

“Giles...early… here...” Willow squeaked.

“I see that,” Tara said with a cringe.

[Mei]

It's my first time. Sorry that it sucks.

RatingG 13 for minor naughtiness
--------------------------------------------
"I can't stand that creaking sound."
"Oh...I've got one!"Tara grabbed a bottle of oil out of her bag and put some on the door-hinge.
It worked.

(a beat)

"W..Why do you have that?"
Tara grinned.
"Vixen."Willow dropped her book and led Tara to the trainning room.

[Scout]

All of these are great! And I'm probably the only one who is fascinated with the fact that you can get a PG-13 rating for only fifty words of fic...

Who would have thought!

[Dr.G]

No Scout you are not the only one, but am *I* the only one who counted if these fics have exactly 50 words in them?

[Puff]

NO Garfield sadly I did that as well. Great fics so far although I will be checking back regularly for xita's.

[Scarecrow]

50 words hey? Okie then...

Rated 'R'.

The door creaked open and books cluttered to the floor; Willow barely catching them. Sadly Willow couldn't see what she was after.

"I've got one!" yelled Tara holding up the thick black dildo.

"I know exactly where to put that," Willow purred.

"Vixen," Tara said slyly as Willow went downwards...

How's that then? lol.

"I am you know... yours"

"In all my travels throughout the universe I have battled against evil; against power mad conspirators. Ha, I should have stayed here;the oldest civilisation, decadent, degenerate and rotten to the core! Hah! Power mad conspirators, Daleks, Sontarans, Cybermen... They're still in the nursery compared to us. Ten million years of absolute power; that's what it takes to be really corrupt!"

"It only takes one tree to make a thousand matches; it only takes one match to burn a thousand trees"

[Scout]

hehe...so funny! Unfortunately, Garfield and Puff now have me counting the words as well. Ugghh!

[tommo]

Great fics. I suppose the only way to go is naughty these days...sigh...one of these days someone will write something not naughty and then we'll all be shocked. Heh heh.

I am loving this challenge though.

Still no sign of xita's fic. Hmmm. Perhaps our Moderator Fantastico needs a kick up her virtual arse.

[rocketdyke]

k, i cheated a bit, because tara doesnt shout, but shes shouting in her heart, so just... its my first fic. so lets see.

willow froze, hoping the creaking door would not alert tara to her entrance.

tara, studying the bookshelves for the required spells gasped, dropping the book she held, when willow eased behind her. "need an enchantment, love?" willow asked.

tara pulled willow's arms around her waist and whispered, "i've got one."

taaa daaaaa!!!!
michele

[tommo]

Oh michele, that's beautiful. Sob.

[Dr.G]

Oh that's so sweet Michele!

[Puff]

Oh Michele you have a talent for this, I wish I had but there are some things I am too shy to put on the kitty or the pens.

[xita]

Oh ok, here it is, it's sappy, I may attempt humor later.

Willow dropped a book down, sighing, just as Tara came in through the creaking door.

“Tara do you belive in one true love?”

“What brought that on?” Tara asked.

“Romeo and Juliet” Willow whispered.

Tara smiled.

”So do you?” Willow insisted.

“I do, I’ve got one.” Tara spoke softly. “You.”

[Sneaky Kitty]

The door creaked as Willow & Tara snuck into the Magic Box. It was dark.

"Wheres that flashlight?" Willow said fumbling into a shelf knocking over the unicorns. "ow"

"I've got one!" exclaimed Tara.

The light turned on. A book fell. Lightning struck. A woman screamed...

"uh buffy why are you....?"

ill just leave it at that. it sucks. ive never written anything before like thise...use your imagination alittle
