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:)
