My thanks to everyone who played and had some fun last month with last line first line challenge. I even managed a few myself - wonders will never cease. From today until the end of May, we are returning to weekly prompts at which point the mighty summer_of_giles takes over for two months.

Ficlets or drabbles or any length welcome. This week's prompt is: FOOL

I'm a little late, so forgive me. Shakespeare is our monthly theme so anything plot stealing from the bard is welcome. Drables, ficlets, poems, stage directions....anything is welcome. The only rule is Giles must be in the mix, but it can be ever so slight. Below are some quotes that might inspire thinky thoughts.

For some must watch, while some ( Read more... )

Continuing with our Shakepeare theme, drabbles and ficlets are welcome on all things Bard. Some extra lines as prompts:

A pound of flesh.

Exit, pursued by a bear.

You have witchcraft in your lips.

Or, as always, you are free to follow your own muse. Lay on, Macduff!

For our final prompt of the month I'm in the mood for some travelling. Therefore pick from:

For a one horse town, Sunnydale appears to be a major transportational hub for Sourthern California. 

This week's prompty location is:

A Magick Shop.

Doesn't have to be the Box, could be anytime, any place.

New week, new prompt on our theme of locations. Not that any prompts technically ever close, if you fall for a previous suggestion, do it!

New prompt is Giles' bathroom.

Which could be anytime, anywhere. As always, any length, any ship, any rating, all are welcome.

New month, new theme. For April our theme will be all about LocationsI will suggest a location once a week (or maybe twice if the fancy takes me), and the challenge is to write a small ficlet or drabble based there. Bonus points for a continuous story I guess, but as usual, it's Open House here. Pick any prompt in any order, combine them, skip them ( Read more... )
