So, a while back I signed up to write a story for the
hhr_serendipity thing (contest? challenge? ficathon? whatever), with the prompt "The Granger family reunion." The resulting story, One of Those Days, was actually my third attempt at writing to the prompt. These are my first two tries. The first just wasn't going much of anywhere -- I like it as a scene, but it has no conclusion, no plot, and no point. See for yourself:
( The Granger Family Reunion )
You see? It just stops. There wasn't any spark there to make me push onward, but if anyone else wants to do something with this as a beginning, be my guest!
The second try is a complete ficlet, but it has almost nothing to do with the original prompt. It's a monologue by Mrs. Granger:
( Gifts )
I rather like that one, actually. Despite the... the... the vaguely pedantic tone that always sneaks into my stories, particularly my monologues, when I'm not deliberately avoiding it. :-)
