October: Only two

For this challenge, you will have two options to participate.

You are a writer? Then the challenge Sentences might be for you.

I offer you two sentences:
1. At the afternoon, I went to the mall by the subway when all of a sudden, we stopped in the middle of a tunnel.
2. I hadn’t planned on becoming a hostage at a bank when I got up this morning.


Your mission, if you want to accept the challenge, is to grab one of the sentences and use it as your story starter or your last line.
You are welcome to use both sentences in one story (as the starter and the last line).
Feel free to change personal pronouns.
Allowed are fics up to 500 words (+ the given sentence)

You are an icon lover? Then the challenge Themes might be for you.

I offer you two themes:
1. accessories
2. polka dots


Your mission, if you want to accept the challenge, is to grab one of the themes and create a minimum of four icons for it.
Icons should fit DW standard (100 x 100 px).


For both challenges: all fandoms, genres, and ratings are welcome, as are original work and real-person work.

You want to mix up both challenges? Go ahead, but stay to the requirements of every challenge.

When posting directly to [community profile] sweetandshort, please use a header of your choice and put bigger works under a cut. You can also post your work at any other place, but please leave a header and a link here to keep the community running.

Please tag your work with any appropriate tag.

This challenge runs until October 31, midnight in your timezone.

WIPBB - A Haunted Houose with a Picket Fence (Neighbours TV)

Project Title: A Haunted House with a Picket Fence
Fandom: Neighbours (tv)
Link: HERE
Summary: Paul's first Christmas alone with the triplets in a universe where Gail doesn't survive their birth and reflects on the six months of suffering that have led him to this point.
Warnings: Major character death, maternal death/death in childbirth, absolutely miserable and depressed mc, many references made to a canonical suicide from the show. 
Characters: Paul Robinson, Gail Lewis, Des Clarke, Jim Robinson, Helen Daniels.
Pairings: Paul Robinson/Gail Lewis, Paul Robinson/Terry Inglis 
When I Started: 12:54 PM on March 24, 2022 according to the timestamps on my doc.

How I Lost My Shit: Honestly I kind of just stopped feeling so miserable as I was when I started this. I graduated Tafe, I found my passion in life, kind of a lot of things changed for me and this fic as much as I thought the concept was decent just fell away from me. The original plan I had for this fic was so grim I ended up changing it entirely for this version because I couldn't stomach leaving Paul in such a dark place after this story. 

How I Finished My Shit: I totally flipped everything. The whole fic got a rewrite, the ending was changed, I dropped some secondary plots I wasn't feeling and I listened to my muse about what it wanted this fic to look like. Then I FINISHED MY SHIT! Thank you sooo much to Ragna for the cover and chapter dividers!

Bragging Rights: The Proposal(s) Predicament (Star Wars)

Project Title: The Proposal(s) Predicament
Fandom: Star Wars: Thrawn Series
Summary:
Within the space of a week, Commander Eli Vanto receives three different marriage proposals.
 
One is from Lance Reisen, an admiral assigned to a backwater sector who's looking to make a name for himself. Unfortunately, he seems to be labouring under the misapprehension that Eli is the tactical genius on board the Chimaera, not Thrawn.
 
The second is from Jar Ontec, the admiral who might just have pulled strings to get Reisen exiled to such an unfavorable posting in the first place.
 
The third is from Captain Kos Teersel, who, as far as Eli can tell, just wants his help catching a gang of pirates.
 
As Eli navigates the deadly cut-and-thrust of Imperial politics, tries to turn down marriage offers from three men who outrank him without tanking his career, and works to uncover the identity of whoever is really pulling the strings from the shadows, only one question is left unanswered.
 
Does his soulmark, written in an unknown script, say Thrawn's name?
 
Warnings: None
Characters: Eli Vanto, Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo, Karyn Faro, Chimaera Crew Members, Original Characters
Pairings: Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Eli Vanto
 
When I Started: Honestly, I don't 100% remember!! I know it must have been at least two or three years ago.
How I Lost My Shit: Wandered out of the fandom and lost interest in the characters for a little while.
How I Finished My Shit: Right at the time I was getting into another 'Star Wars phase' (my love for fandoms definitely comes in phases xD) I heard about WIP Big Bang. I have so many Thranto WIPs on the backburner, I signed several of them up. I made significant progress on many of them, although this ended up the only one that actually got finished! I, too, must worship at the altar of firm deadlines ;)
