The Second Original Fiction Drabble-thon!

[thegalecity]

Hey all! Becky/ruffwriter again. Since we all had so much fun last time and I know we're all being pummeled by classes and work, the Original Fiction Drabble-thon is coming back for another go! The idea of this is to write something, anything at all, with your own original characters

The sun was standing to change seats again: it was gently shifting the light of dawn further and further from Summer's bed. These were the days where she was late to rise, so close to the end of her reign. The plants of the earth groaned, knowing full well what would follow. Still, when she smiled, they lifted their heads and spread themselves wide in thanksgiving as she passed

Oh, this was gorgeous -- it had a beautifully mythic feeling. I like the characterization of Autumn not being cruel, but cautionary.

I had personifications of seasons a few years ago, and Autumn was always the quiet little sister who smiled small but cared the most. :]

[ruffwriter]

Ooooh, I loved the personifications of all the different shifts - it really made for a gorgeous piece. ♥

I hope it didn't come off as too pretentious 8|;;

Really lovely view of the seasons, and very true! I am interested in seeing Winter and Spring as well.

[noelleno]

Thank you! They're kind of similiar, as brothers. They like to nose around in people's lives for better or ill, but are generally rather jovial. Winter gets depressed real easy, though.

Ooh, personified seasons! :) I loved reading this: soft and gentle, but with a little bit of foreboding. I especially liked how you used the "get ready, get ready--everybody must prepare" and the descriptions of Summer and Autumn!
(Also, "they lifted their heads and spread themselves wide in thanksgiving as she passed" made me smile for the "thanksgiving" part.)
