The Unofficial Very Informal, No Pressure, yet oh so Exciting pre-Round Warm-Up Challenge!
Hey movie fans! We here at dramione_ldws love you all so much, we’re giving you TWO prompts to choose from. You may even do both, if you choose!
And, as stated before, EVERYONE is welcome to join in the fun for the warm-up challenge!
Prompt One:
The much loved Hobbit drabble strikes again!
Prompt Two:
Do the can! Can! Can! It’s Moulin Rouge time!
Post each drabble as a comment with the following header:

Rating/Warning:
Please remember that dramione_ldws has open membership. No drabbles with explicit violence or sexual situations.
Sorta Casual Deadline: January 21, 2009.
The acting moderators will each pick a favorite Hobbit drabble and a favorite Moulin drabble, which will then be included in the dramione_ldws Hall of Fame.
Moderator favorites will be announced Friday, January 23.
**For the official challenges, there will be NO "in character" requirements (For one thing, there isn't enough time to find a copy of a movie, watch it and then write a drabble) Rather, the prompts will take inspiration from themes, etc. of the movies. The point is to write to the theme or feeling required; not how well you mimic the movie itself.**
