The Fourth Annual "I Challenge You to Challenge Me" Challenge!

May 16, 2009 22:39

In what I hope to be an annual event, I'm doing this (otherwise known as "Force Me to be Creative for You!") again. I started it way back in 2006, when I lifted an innocuous meme from gypsyjr, and I'm going to keep doing it once a year until I get it right, or until you people storm the castle and force me to stop ( Read more... )

When you say these scenarios "have been used before", do you mean people have made these requests to this meme or that there are stories already existing that could and ought to be linked to? Because at least one challenge I was going to offer you is already on this list.
And since I didn't feel I could complain about that without offering a challenge too: Bathtime M*A*S*H

I meant they have been done by other challenges before, but again, if you have an idea, by all means don't let previous use stop you. I guess I need to stop including those with the challenge so as not to inhibit the process.

Bathtime M*A*S*H? That can work.

"You betcha," Radar nodded. "First sight of Major Houlihan, I give you two sirs the high sign."

"Very good, Swifty. Time, Watson?"

McIntyre ostentatiously brought his watch to his face. "Quarter to six - 1545, Army Standard Time, and the nurses' shower opens in 15 minutes. Shall we begin our prep?" he asked, brandishing the scissors.

"Gowns and gloves!" Hawkeye smirked.

I intend to make you suffer again, Mr. Livingston! It's been far too long, and I'm amazed I missed the last two runs. However, I shall not miss this opportunity! Knock yourself out on the length.

"Guys, tell me you're making progress here," Angel pleaded, slowly dragging himself to his feet for the 37th time.

"Some," Wesley said, then added ruefully, "But not much."

"How much?"

"None really," Fred admitted.

"Nothing?"

"Just what's in these seven books, and that's about it."

"Aw c'mon, there's got to be..." The rest of Angel's sentence was cut off as he tripped over his own feet yet again and the floor smacked him.

"If it helps," Lorne offered from the other side of the room, I could always do a couple of verses of 'Stumbling In'."

"Ow!" Angel said in response to both the tumble and Lorne's comment. He shot a hard look at Gunn, who was trying hard not to laugh. "Y'know, it may look funny, but you try being the one who can't walk more ( ... )

An upset Ensign Sato shook her head as she clutched her distended stomach. "It's like we said, Captain. I went with T'Pol to investigate what we thought was an intermittent subspace signal, but when we got to the clearing it was deserted. Then there was just that bright flash of light and..."

"It struck before we could report in," the Vulcan woman added from the biobed opposite Hoshi's. "We came to only when were revived by Commander Tucker, by which time we were already in this condition," indicating her own rotund belly ( ... )
