~Just Start~

"Severus, we have to."

"You don't even know if we'll be allowed."

"Of course we'll be allowed, it's for us."

"I'm aware of that, thank you. What I meant is that we don't know if we will be allowed to participate in a variety of ways, or if it has to be the same thing every month. The mods haven't answered our question yet."

"Well, yes, but.... Look, we can start, and if it doesn't work out... Well...."

"Well, what? You'll quit?"

"We can at least get our foot in the door."

"That's all you strive for, is it? Get your foot in the door, then quit if you don't like how it's going?"

"At least it's a start. Are you afraid to even try?"

"Are you calling me a coward, Lupin?"

"Oh, Severus, I'd never call you a coward, not even in jest. Come on, lets not quarrel over this."

"I'm not quarrelling. I'm just pointing out that we don't know the rules."

"That's never stopped you before."

"Lupin, I can not carry on a conversation if you're going to do that."

"Mm."

"Lupin. It's eight in the morning, we have things to do. We can not... dear lord... we can not...."

....

"What can't we do, Severus?"

"Didn't your mother ever teach you not to talk with your mouth full?"

	I looove stories with just conversation :D I've heard and read that it's not good to write stories only with conversation, but they are so fun to read. We can get the tone of the voice and banter in the words and the way the lines are delivered. I've got one written up, I just need to fill in some holes. Fun ficlet :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Glad you enjoyed it! I think it might be difficult to sustain for more than one or two scenes, but it is fun. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	So true, so wickedly true! It's easy to slip in, slip out, and not look back...unless you face front and do it all over again. lol Wonderful to see you kicking sand out of the sandbox again! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh lord, are you joking? It was all I could do to drag them onto the screen as it was! They'll probably hide under the bed next month. snorfle Glad you liked it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	azure_rosa 2010-11-26 03:49 pm UTC (link)
	I was joking, though it would be awesome if we got more people to play in this challenge. I'm threatening a monthly drabble night to help keep people in the game, so if you get stuck... :D Because I have no shame about pimping it, drabble night is TONIGHT 7 pacific time, 10 eastern!

	Sometimes you just gotta dive in! We'll see what happens, though it can't be anything compared to LMM, so I shouldn't whine. ;) Thanks for commenting! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snapealina 2010-11-26 01:25 pm UTC (link)
	well it's hard enough! I haven't started yet, and I don't have many days to come up with something :S I want to play!!!! But my brain doesn't :( (I WILL find something though! I WILL! LOL) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	islandsmoke 2010-11-26 01:40 pm UTC (link)
	I know! If all else fails, I can aways just type out the argument I'm having with them, making one of them - usually Lupin - take my side, then devolving it all to sex. (They like that part.) Sometimes the brain just doesn't want to play. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
