TYRFIC Destardi

This place has been awfully quiet - here's something to liven it up ;)

Announcing a brand new FicFest!

Everyone is welcome! The basic idea is to open up both prompt submissions and stories to anyone who's interested. Stories only have to be 500 words, but they can be longer. Start submitting your prompts as early as today, then check back in a week to start signin' up for which story you want to write. If you have lots of ideas, but don't like to write stories - no problem! Go ahead and submit your idea and see what someone else makes of it.

For sample prompts, full details, and dates n' deadlines, hit the link below!

Check it out!

hello everyone! Been away for a bit but I'm back now. Between work and trying to finish the first draft of my novel life's sorta been outta control. Anyway, onto this week's challenge.

Usual format applies between 101 and 1001 words. Featuring two of the riders, and just to make it a bit more interesting lets do it as a dialogue story. You can use dialogue tags at the beginning but you must set the scene and storyline through nothing more than dialogue.

The prompt for this week is: Fate must have played a hand!

Good luck and I look forward to seeing what everyone gets done!

Destardi!

I need help. This is what I did Sunday, instead of cleaning house.

had to make this vid *g*

Every Time I Trust a Gal

I thought this week we could do something that's a bit more fun. So here's the challenge.

Usual format between 101 and 1001 words, featuring any of the riders or all of them. And since it's summer I thought we could do something about that topic.

So here's the prompt:

Heat wave.

The rating can be anything from G to NC17 but please just remember to give a quick head's up if it's NC17 because not everyone wants to read something like that!. Have fun and have a great week!

This weeks challenge is a little longer. 

A short story/poem that is between 1000 and 2000 words long. The prompt is:

Thirty Days

Can be any rating from G to NC17. 

Challenge ends July 21st! Have fun and have a good weekend!

Summary: Time seems to drag by when you’re waiting.





Tick. Tock. Slowly, I breathe in, breathe out. I sit and stare out the window, through the bars at the busy street. I am so sure I’m doing the right thing. I must do it. Its like Teaspoon said self respect goes all the way to the bone. Doing the right thing will help me keep my self respect; help me preserve my pride, my dignity as well.



Tick. Tock. I listen to the clock as it counts the seconds. Waiting, watching, praying as time slowly drifts past me.



Each tick sounds as loud as a gunshot, every breath burns. I’m torn by fear. I need to do what’s right, but I stand to lose my best friend if I do. I might as well pull the trigger. If I don’t do what I know he’d want me to do could I live with myself? I know what Buck would say to me, I must follow my heart…but my heart doesn’t know the way to go right now.


Tick. Tock. Slowly, the hours pass me by but I still have hours left to go.

I'm late I know! I hope you don't mind!
