I think I'd like to start a meme here on IJ/LJ.

Write a micro-fic -- a story in just six words. (You can see some examples here.)

Post it in a comment here and in your own journal.

It'll be fun to see what folks come up with, within a form even more constrained than the drabble.

Here are two I wrote:

Fenrir picked his teeth, saying, “Yummy . . .”

Fenrir isn’t fussy — he enjoys nomming.

Edited to add another:

"Tofu again?" Fenrir asked Hermione, aghast.

Here's the last serving of "pease porridge" (9 months old), fourth of the stand-alone vignettes from "Contingencies", originally published on LiveJournal on December 24, 2006. Author notes slightly changed from the LJ original. Not terribly seasonal at the present moment, but given that stores are already putting out Christmas gear by me, perhaps not that far off the mark in the greater scheme of things.

As threatened promised yesterday, here is the first helping of "pease porridge" -- one of the stand-alone vignettes from my NaNoWriMo 2006 writing project, now referred to as "Contingencies", and my first-ever attempt at writing Potterverse fanfiction -- or any type of fanfiction, for that matter. It was originally published on LiveJournal on December 5, 2006 -- the author note is the same one I used there, since it's still appropriate.
