turpsChallenge #9
In your own space, brag about yourself. Tell us what things you've done that you're proud of; the things that make you the wonderful person you are.
This is a story that many people will have heard before. But let's go...
Way back in the mists of time I posted my first official bandom story for the picfor1000 challenge over on Livejournal.
In the challenge, you were given a picture prompt and had to write a story of exactly 1000 words based on that prompt. I wrote something focussed on Gerard and Mikey Way, and a tradition was born. From that year until the challenge ended, I always started my writing year with a thousand-word challenge-response based on the Way bros.
Some were better than others, most were gen, some were weird, but all I'm proud of for telling a story in exactly 1000 words.
Below are those responses, listed from start to finish in terms of years.
Hope and Shatterproof Glass -- in which Mikey worries about Gerard
Hang the Moon -- where Mikey and Gerard are mer people.
Right Here Waiting -- Inspired by an article that stated Mikey Way had five siblings and the resulting discussion in my journal. Implied character death.
Four -- Mikey has changed forms again.
Look Into My Tired Eyes -- 1000 words of Way bros post apoc.
Of My Days in the Sun -- a follow to this ficlet where Mikey is poisoned and loses his memory. This one is slightly slashy.
Suds Crossing -- Gerard works in a magical laundrette.
You're Shying Away -- Gerard gets lost in his art.
What You're Looking For -- Gerard and Mikey are shape-shifting sheep.
Burn Up and Fly -- Gerard is caught by hunters.
For completeness sake, my first ever response to the challenge back in 2007 was popslash. Circles
I do miss the challenge.So, throwing it out there, if anyone wants to link to an image I'll attempt to write a 1000 word Way bros centric story. It has to be a stock kind of image, nothing specially bandom. Got some:)

Date: 2021-01-18 10:56 am (UTC)LJ really had some great challenges, I suspect it was because so many people were active then. So, the more people who joined and posted, the more buzz the challenges maintained.
But, we still have good ones here too. Like Snowflake ♥
