The Dragon Challenge Stories!
Jun. 6th, 2010 09:36 amIt's D-Day again, so the stories for the Dragons/Dwarves/Dolphins/Diamonds/Demons challenge are now—or imminently—available.
I've changed things around a bit this time, for two reasons: one, that there were not many entrants this year, and it seemed a bit pointless to insist on the anonymity. Two, I've been rather busy with one thing and another this week and wouldn't have had time to get everything onto my website even if I had managed to finish my own entry before, um, two o'clock this morning.
So if you've written a DDDDD story for this year's challenge, please post it wherever suits you and comment with a link to the story. I'll edit this post as the other stories arrive.
HERE is the "Director's Cut" of the story Tabula Rasa, Lacuna Caeruleus by
ninjetti75.
Strange Brew is a brand new dragon story for this year from
syncalot.
Meddling hits more than one of the prompts, also brand new for this year, by
chalcopyrite.
Read! Enjoy! Send feedback!
My own offerings are several (for values of 'several' that equal 'ten') ficlets up in the CrackSparklePop community on DreamWidth (you don't need a DW account to read or comment). Two each featuring each Nsync and Backstreet boy, but I'll leave you to discover* who turns up where. Can be read in any order.
I An Association with Dolphins
II Sparkle
III Talking it up
IV The Steel Dragon
V Dreamer
VI Someday he'll be taller
VII Water Baby
VIII La Leyenda
IX Bargain
X Aces High
* or if you're desperate to know, you can ask me
I hope you guys will enjoy all the stories again this time round, please leave feedback! And if anyone decides to do a rec post or a commentary on everything, drop me a link. There won't be any more popslash Dragon Challenges from me, but we've had a good run and I'm very proud to have inspired more than a few of you into creating some wonderful stories that would otherwise never have been written.
Yay, Dragons!
