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.

But I want to *pouts*

I'll do something more constructive with them in a minute. Like tie you up. *nods* That sounds like a good idea.

I had to go and look. Shame I can't reply on there. LOL

You are one seriously bad witch tonight. I think the whip and handcuffs are not enough. *ponders arsenal of useful things for punishment*

I'm in a good mood. My New Year's Resolutions are kicking in: to be a happier person, to be more active in LJ-land, to be less stressed out, to write more. The "real me" comes out a little more ... Plus, I haven't participated in a challenge like this since doomspark had Poetry Wednesdays. I had fun. *grins*

(You can go comment. You can go in the admin area and edit the review and add your comment. *snicker*)

It's good to see those resolutions working! Yeah, to be less stressed out is vital in this day and age when everything is geared towards stress.

(I did edit. *snicker*)

Heh... I'm gonna go look.

I hope someone else takes up the challenge. Anyone could do it, really.

And I am pretty sure I mean "really".

I think I might have Imperioed encouraged [livejournal.com profile] kittylefish to enter the challenge. ;)

It *could* be a good exercise for those who have trouble comprehending some rules. And yes, it would be nice to see them give it a try.

I think a detention may be needed for you two. A few hours scrubbing unbetaed stories should do the trick. Muahaha!

Scrubbing unbetaed stories??? Isn't that what we do all the time??? *scoffs*

I want detention with Lucius and Severus in a bedroom. *hmph*

Severus would get red ink all over the keyboard. Then where would you be?

Severus would leave his quills in the living room. I would be in bed with him. And Lucius. *nods*
