New challenge, Tep?

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
New challenge, Tep?
I'm not up to it. Anyone have any suggestions?
Cave.
Liese -- you have a piece in there, don't you?
Ayup. Thanks!
Perfect! Cave.
Challenge #74 (pictures from the Look at Me website) is now closed.
Challenge #75 is cave. Begin spelunking!
Ooh, I like that.
Liese, and by the by? Got a note from my editor's assistant this morning about the lack of cover graphics. They're aware of the problem, they're having it with a bunch of their fall titles, and oh, Jennifer C is no longer the web person at SMP.
Maybe I should send said assistant a copy of the "you know, it really IS a well oiled machine, if the author simply lets the proper people know" email I got from their big Special Events honcho lady?
Because how the hell are we supposed to know who the proper person is, when they keep leaving?
Drabble:
The cave is dark and cool, just as the beast likes it. He sleeps soundly, his bedding surrounded by the remains of meals, cast-off coverings and the occasional trophy amidst the other offal. It is his lair, rich with his scent, and woe to any who dare enter it.
The sudden intrusion of light causes him to stir, blinking his eyes blearily. A single figure stands shadowed in the opening.
“Get up, you’re going to be late for school!” orders the invader.
“Just five more minutes, Mom,” he pleads, burrowing beneath the bedcovers.
His mother sighs and closes the door.
Bwah! That sounds so like my brothers when they were teenagers.
Heh, cute, Kalshane.
Gah, deb. Bet the utter chaos and the number of people leaving aren't entirely coincidental. Something about rats, and sinking ships. Anyway, it just sounds totally inept. Saying "yeah, we know about the problem" when it's a "problem" that would take 30 seconds to fix is completely unacceptable.
