Drabble time!
Challenge #60 (the pictures from the Look At Me website) is now closed.
Challenge #61 is two parts. Take this scenario: two people in a small space*, and write your drabble in a specific genre.
Classifying writing into a single "genre" can be a sticky thing. For one thing, no two people can ever seem to agree on a definition for "literary fiction," or if it even *is* a genre. So I'm not offering up this challenge to create quibbles or quarrels over whether or not something fits in a genre. I trust you all to write what moves you, label it however you like, and set it free. Simple as that.
Some examples of genres -- and I'm sure that (1) all of you know these already, and (2) all of you can probably list scads more genre categories that I left out -- are fantasy, historical fiction, mystery, sci-fi (does sci-fi belong in fantasy? that's an example of strict genre labelling that I'm not touching with a 10-foot fountain pen), westerns, tragedy, romance (another category that transcends "genre," as there's historical romantic fiction, and even within that category, there's Regency, Victorian, etc.), steampunk, erotica, fairy tales, hardboiled crime fiction t waves to erika , comedy, horror, and epics (though that might be hard to fit into a drabble).
Though I'd be impressed at a 100-word epic.
*Right, the asterisk -- thought I forgot, didn't you? When I say "two people in a small space," you may define "small space" however you like. When you're in a space with someone you don't want to be with (for instance), even an airplane hangar can feel too small. Just make us believe it through your writing.
