Well done on that last, you lovely people, and with only a week! You make your Queen so proud. Since it was such a short time for the challenge I think I'll keep linking posts through the rest of the month (and I might do that with the posts for each month). But right now it's time for our mid-month photo prompt! From the haze of love we move onto this piece aptly titled "Fog" by deviantART user ~fruuz. Click here to view the original image in its natural habitat. I don't know about you, but this is pretty close to what your Queen's current love-life looks like. For those unfamiliar with the photo prompt format, all you have to do is look at the picture below -- and get inspired! It's a wonderful little exercise in ekphrasis that I think we'll do on the 15th of every month, with regular challenges on the first of each month (and, as always, I welcome your suggestions -- just send me a message). So tell me: what little corridors does your mind wander down when you stare into the fog? ![]() Just copy and paste the code below into your weblog to link back to this site! It should come out looking exactly like the picture above. Tutorial here. You can write a poem, a short story, a song, a journal-type entry, include pictures. It's entirely up to you. You may take this in whatever direction you would like. Let us see what you can do in about ten minutes. You must:
Happy writing! Be sure to check out everyone's entries. I'm sure they appreciate your feedback. Participants include: Posted 2/28/2010 at 9:33 AM |
I thought I smelled something burning. Best not leave the Casanova Candle going when you leave. Either you'll torch the place or we'll have a line of suitors going down the block and you *don't* want to find out what a mob of horny guys can do to the upholstery. I had to replace all the royal furniture last year. New month, new Queen, new challenge. Oh, silly me, I tried to slip that in there without you noticing, but of course you're far too smart for that. Yes, my beautiful subjects, you have a new Queen, and I hope to live up to the stunning example set by all my predecessors. You'll forgive me if I remain behind the privacy of the palace walls for now -- I've only just moved in and I'm still unpacking boxes and my hair is still all up in those curlers. In the mean time I'll set you to work on our next challenge. I've decided to continue the numbering scheme set up by Queen TastyCakes, so this one is: Challenge 2010-2 Valentine's Day is only a week away! Many of you are happily partnered and expecting your dozen roses and box of chocolates when next Sunday rolls around, but if you're like me, you're still waiting for your King (or Queen, if you prefer) to sweep you off your feet. All I know is, the bastard better hurry up because I might not show it, but this Queen ain't getting any younger or prettier. Ahem. Anyway, the challenge that I set before you today requires you to: Challenge 2010-2 Write about love. Original, I know. But, according to some dead guy, love is all you need. Tell us about the love you're in, or your first love, maybe even unrequited love. Or, if you're not in a mood for romance, tell us about other sorts of love that you've encountered, whether for family or friends or even for perfect strangers (my personal favorite). ![]() Just copy and paste the code below into your weblog to link back to this site!

Well no one seemed at all interested in the last challenge. Do people still read this? I have no idea. We're about to find out though. If anyone would care to be kween, I am officially, as of right this second, changing the password of the site to 'password'. First come, first serve. Go nuts. Posted 2/6/2010 at 3:41 PM |
