Always Anti-fascist!
I didn't like that when I got credit for it. Not that I have room to talk being as I barely stick my toes in the fandom wading pool.

Thrive to spite them
I never found where the List of lists was, so I never saw what everyone was working off of. Although in glossing's lj she said it was from McSweeny's. (I think)
One of the list is "things my father and I never talk about" I think i saw one actual story from that and then another that was a just a list of things that Xander and his father never talked about it. There's also the Ten Dates never to forget or something, which I've only seen as a list of 10 dates based on airdates and what they mean and that's not a story and there are better ways to interpert the challenge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow.
Kat's mean.
Nice job.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Damn, Kat. Wow.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Uh huh. Be mean some more, Kat. Please.

kat perez killed Faith!!! kat, that was truly scary. I kept denying what I was reading, even as I was reading it. Thanks!
One of the first ones I ever participated in was one of twilite's - "write a drabble using the following elements: a set of keys, a gun, three words" and that sucker produced some of the best drabbles I've ever seen, and I wrote one of my own personal favourites from it, about Wes chasing Lilah all over the country through a series of cheap motels, always one step behind. It was that theme that got me to join that community.
But if this week's is typical, I'm outta there. It's just not where I live, nor what I what I write drabbles for.
We should do our own here or in one of our LJs, or some other sort of project (an easy one) like a serial, where we each write a chapter, and pass it along--sort of like that game you played as a kid, where you'd start a horror story (oral, not written) and stop at a scary part, and the person next to you would have build on the story you'd told (and deal with run on sentences, apparently).
(gah--need more coffee)

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
Yeah, you know-- normally, I like 'take a title from this' style challenges, but that set is very uninspiring. Where do you go with "Examples sentances from my sixth-grade grammar book"? Or, for that matter, "All of Chewbacca's Dialogue in the Comic Book Version of The Empire Strikes Back"? It's just... rather dull, and so specific that you can't expand on it.

Hmm. This sounds as if it's got potential. I'd be willing to play with something like this.

That would be a good Xander POV drabble as he tries to reach Dark!Willow.
Or, for that matter, "All of Chewbacca's Dialogue in the Comic Book Version of The Empire Strikes Back"?
Andrew faced with things he can't talk away.
If I'd had coffee, I'd write it.
It's odd, because I hear that this week brought out some steller drabbles. Which I haven't read, so I can't really judge.
