023. Five Ideas

[1] Off like a shot

[2] jeopardy • \JEP-er-dee\ • noun
     1 : exposure to or imminence of death, loss, or injury : danger
     2 : the danger that an accused person is subjected to when on trial for a criminal offenseCenturies ago, the Old French term "jeu parti" didn't mean "danger" but rather "an alternative" or, literally, "a divided game." That French expression was used for anything that represented an alternative viewpoint or gave two opposing viewpoints. "Jeu parti" passed into Anglo-French as "juparti," and from there it was borrowed into Middle English and respelled "jeopardie." At first, the English word was used to refer to the risks associated with alternative moves in the game of chess. Soon, however, the term came to be used more generally in the "risk" or "danger" sense that it has today.

[5] Anything from here.

How this works:
+ Read through the prompts and if you're inspired write up a bit of fiction for one of your pups. It can be anything really: short fiction, artwork, the setting for an interesting scene with other characters.

+ If you want to explore something but don't want it to exist in continuity for your pup, to become part of their real history/canon/whatever, this is a great chance to do that. However, you should take care to mark that clearly. (e.g. "This post is a bit of AU speculation.")

+ If you'd like to have some concrit on your work, that's great too. Just be sure to put that in the 'notes' section.
