Ten Prompts in Search of Their Authors (E.T.A.)

Jan 14, 2007 22:59

Part of my writing process, when I can't get any writing done, is to write random prompts. Here are ten, which you should feel free to take. If you do take one, please post your result (or, if it's long, a link to it) in comments. (I'll update this post to reflect your offering.)

( Please find the prompts and links to the responses to them under the cut. )

master list, fest, ten prompts

#9 - To try. . .it. eaivalefay January 15 2007, 06:06:31 UTC

Aberforth had never seen anything like it, and it gave him ideas.

They were not good ideas. Even he had to admit that. They were, as it were, on par with the goat fiasco of '36. There was one difference in the whole affair. A fairly important one even in Aberforth's unraveling mind.

The singular important difference between then and now was Albus. Or rather, lack thereof.

Albus wasn't with him to point out what bad ideas they were. Aberforth didn't have a reason not test them out. He wasn't particularly good at moralizing. That's what Albus had always been for ( ... )

Oh, honey---nutjob!Aberforth is maudlin love. :D And you're love for mentioning The Goat. ;)

The goats must always be mentioned. >_>

"the goat fiasco" That made me laugh.

I felt a bit sad for Aberforth, at the end...

I'm sorry. :( It was not supposed to end on a sad note, but just sort of happened...

Very nice, this. A lot of story in so few words.
