So, [livejournal.com profile] sunnythirty3, the wench from the Southern hemisphere, was up to no good last night. I thought she was merely chatting while waiting for a patient to turn up, but no. She fired a challenge at me. "Write fic! Write 500 words! But you're not allowed to use a comma!"

I decided to read the f-list on LJ while awaiting the Muse to inspire me. The top post was from [livejournal.com profile] notsosaintly, in which she pretended not to know what a comma is. I sneered at her and informed her of [livejournal.com profile] sunnythirty3's challenge, and because I couldn't resist, I lured her into joining me in return for a prompt. She obliged, and you can see the result here.

My effort to avoid commas can be viewed here.

And we were so delighted with this type of challenge that we created a category on it on TPP, so if you feel inclined to try your hand at writing a commaless fic, do join in.

ETA: To be fair, [livejournal.com profile] sunnythirty3 has written one, too, to a different prompt here.
