The 100-Word Writing Challenge

[Deleted]

Original Topic by WorldEnd

Okay so here's the deal. I'm going to start off with a prompt, and you have to write a little ficlet based off of it.

Ground rules:

• post something claiming the prompt for yourself before you start writing (so that other people don't get confused), and edit it or delete it when you have your ficlet ready.
  
• when you claim a prompt, leave a new one right away so that other people can start working on their ficlet.
  
• you cannot fill or claim another prompt if you have already claimed a prompt that you haven't filled.

Your ficlet:

• must be in 100 words or less. If you're like me and you're too lazy to count the words, here's a handy-dandy word-count tool.
  
• must be PG-13. So it can involve swearing, death, mild gore (bleeding but no entrails please), and kissing (but no sex).
  
• needs to have chosen characters from Hetalia (just so everyone in the group can enjoy them).
  
• doesn't have to be overly-descriptive. If the prompt is Character A making dinner with Character B, as long as you make a passing mention about dinner I'll give you a pass even if it's just one sentence.
  
• may use OCs but please don't answer every prompt like that. It'll get boring fast for the ones who aren't so familiar with your OCs.

Your prompt:

• must be PG-13. See above.
  
• can't involve certain characters. So I can't ask the next person to write something specifically involving America playing video games with South Korea, but I can request Character A playing video games with Character B.
  
• can't be super-specific. I can't ask for Character A to burst in at a murder scene with guns blazing in a Mercedes Benz and defeat the killer and carry off the killer's would-be victim to a five-star hotel in Chicago. I can ask for Character A to stumble upon a murder scene.
  
• can be as simple as one word (ex: dancing, love, friendship, waiting), a phrase (ex: writing greeting cards, thinking about the future) or even a quote.
  
• may be a repeat of a former prompt, but the prompts must be spaced at least five pages apart.
  
• can be as creative as you want! Just remember to give the next writer wiggle-room.

I reserve the right to modify these rules as I see fit and to step in and declare your prompt invalid if it violates these rules or if it just kind of sucks and no one will be able to work with it.

Prompt 1
"Paris, the city of lovers
Is glowing this evening
True, that's because it's on fire
But still, there's "l'amour"
Somewhere out there in the night
Her Heart is also alight
And I know the guy she just might
Be burning for

A guy like you
She's never known, kid
A guy like you
A girl does not meet ev'ry day
You've got a look
That's all your own, kid
Could there be two like you?

No way!"
A Guy Like You, Hunchback of Notre Dame

[Asunara Wisdom]

This was probably the first time the two of them had some peace and quiet. No brothers to be bothers. Is this what freedom feels like?

"Wifey, what's the matter?" he asks. That nickname has such a nice touch. She snaps out of her gaze.

"Just looking at the Eiffel Tower. How's the food?"

"Not as good as yours."

"Don't lie to me," she says playfully. "I'm just thinking about how far we've gone to get here."

"I'll just say that this is the only place I want to be right now."

Prompt #2

Character A is borrowing money again, and this time them people are very pissed off. Very.

[Misso Pan]

“You did it again.”

Donald grinned, wide-eyed, and scoffed at Arthur’s accusation. “Did what, Artie?”

“You damn well know what.” Arthur already was pretty angry at the fact Don was in his house again, shoes up on the clean sofa, acting as if he didn’t have a care in the world. His emerald eyes betrayed all anger, but all Donny’s contained were amusement.

“Oh, you mean the money thing? You know I’ll pay you back.” He said this multiple times, but he never did. Arthur was fed up. This ended now.

“Hah, not believing that anymore. Peter, open a window.”

Prompt 3
"And I still wonder
Why heaven has died
The skies are all falling

In silence I hold on
To you and I"
Fire and Ice, Within Temptation
