Round 05 - Not-Quite-a-Challenge Holiday Challenge
In honor of the upcoming holiday, we offer you the following Not-Quite-a-Challenge Holiday Challenge. It comes in TWO (2) parts and offers you PLENTY of options for some sort of holiday fanfic/artwork.
Part One
Go over to demilos_wagon and answer a prompt or two. Post your own, so that others can answer you. Just be sure to follow the RULES.
Part Two
Following are SIX (6) prompts. Hopefully, they will inspire you. We've tried to keep them as holiday non-specific as possible, but feel free to choose whichever holiday you want. Ignore the holiday all-together. The only rule is that your entry must be Tin Man-specific. Of course, if the prompts prompt you to work on something not-Tin Man, that's fantastic, too, but we only want the Tin Man stuff posted here. :)
Deck the hall with boughs of holly // Fa la la la la la la la la
'tis the season to be jolly // Fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now, our gay apparel // Fa la la la la la la la la
Toll the ancient Yuletide carol // Fa la la la la la la la la
See the blazing Yule before us // Fa la la la la la la la la
Strike the harp and join the chorus // Fa la la la la la la la la
I will not sing this song! // Fa la la la la la la la la
While I count the Yuletide treasure // Fa la la la la la la la la
Fast away the old year passes // Fa la la la la la la la la
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses // Fa la la la la la la la la
Sing ye joyous, all together // Fa la la la la la la la la
Deck the hall with boughs of holly // 'tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la la la la la // Fa la la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la la
(Deck the Halls - Muppet Family Christmas, 1987)
Okay.. you can use whichever version of this song you like... :p
