All-Fandom, Cross-Fandom 48-Hour Color Drabble/Short Story Challenge! (And stuff.)
Anyone up for a 48-hour drabble challenge? Any and all fandoms, on my f-list or not? You just sign up here naming a color, and you have to work it somehow into the drabble/short story, either thematically, symbolically or literally. For example, if you pick "blue," you could write a story where Lex is depressed, or where Harry gives Draco a blue stone, or...Whatevah. If more than one person chooses a particular color, that's cool--why have limits? They're so limiting, as one of my favorite tv boyfriends once said. Just think what you could do with red, puce, amethyst, midnight blue, grey, silver... If anyone's interested, I'll compile the links when you're all done...

Surely I'm not the only bored one around...

Anyone?

Faith/Angel Rec Help, Please!
My baby sister (who's, um, 34) has become a Buffy fan, and wants to read some NC-17 Angel/Faith--nothing too sucky or sweet. (I've tried to interest her in slash, but she's all, "Where are the vaginas? I like vaginas.") Anyone have any recs at all?

8. Euripides' The Bacchae
