Challenge #86 - Schmoop

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

The challenge this week at slashthedrabble is "Schmoop".

This is the first challenge in the 'genre' theme, suggested by reremouse. This theme of challenges will be running for the next few weeks.

Schmoop is, as always, is open to interpretation. You can write a straight-up schmoopy piece, or do it tongue-in-cheek, whatever you want, so long as it can creditably be labelled as 'schmoop'. ('Schmoop' being an alternative label to 'mush' and 'fluff'.)

Drabbles of 100 words and ficlets of 200, 300, 400 and 500 words exactly are acceptable, and please use cut tags. Have fun!

Also, as this is a multi-fandom community, please remember to add a header mentioning which fandom(s) you are drabbling in. Thanks. :D

Question for the mod. Does the entire drabble have to be schmoopy or can it just have schmoopy elements? I have an idea for the dark'verse, but since the dark'verse is very non-schmoopy, I thought I'd check before I got to writing.

Thanks, hon.

schmoopy elements are fine. If you can write a schmoopy dark'verse drabble, go for it! *g*

I think it's going to be a challenge but I'm going to go for it.

Thanks so much!

*hugs*

Complete and utter fluff? Ah, Jesus, are you trying to kill us all?

But, after reading your reply to strickens_girl's comment, I think I too could manage dark and yet fluffy...just gotta get my thinking cap on.

I have something all ready to post... but first, I have to go to the Emergency room for sugar overload!

That's the spirit! Share the diabetic coma with everyone! :D

sorry for the randomness

but, I was just wondering you being mods and all do you know anyone who betas in LA Law at all? I've asked all my betas and none of them do *woobies* and I was thinking you being a slashly com and all, maybe you do or could point me in the right direction.

Like I said sorry for the randomness...and spamming.

I don't know of anyone in that fandom, sorry. If you do a search here at LJ for betas or something similar, you might be able to find a multi-fandom beta community. I'm pretty sure there are at least a couple. Good luck!

oh and one more thing...

regarding the whole 'genre' challenge, will you be doing angst later in a few weeks as well or would it be h&c...or both?

H/C and angst will each have their own week. :D
