| Challenge #204: Closed // Challenge #205: Photo of Brian |
[Jul. 17th, 2011|10:16 pm] |
Thanks to everyone who drabbled this week! Trevor Project beat the Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force 5 to 1, but I'm going to make it an even $20 to each organization. :)
This week, our prompt will be a photo:
Your stories should be about anything this photo inspires in you, but if you write about Brian's arms, you can award double condoms. ;)
The battle will be between our two tall guys, Emmett vs. Brian!
Have fun! |

Title: A Mother’s Pride

and the condom goes to: The Trevor Project
Debbie took Carl’s proffered hand as she climbed out of the limo, dressed elegantly in a deep purple ball gown.
The gown in question had shown up earlier in the day, anonymously, with only a small note attached saying, “A little something to celebrate the victory.”
The red carpet stretched out before her.
She was so proud of Michael and Sunshine that something they had created would soon be shared with millions. Their stories, their lives, their hearts were poured into Rage. Now they had made a name for themselves and their art in ways she had only dreamed about. |

Condom: The Trevor Project
Brian had never been ashamed of working for Stockwell. Business was business, after all. But that didn’t mean he didn’t enjoy seeing him exposed for the homophobic prick that he was.
Brian watched silently as the GLC event spiraled into a carefully orchestrated disaster. He knew the lines by heart so he focused instead on the aftermath, rehearsing his spin to Stockwell, practicing the lies that would keep him on the inside.
He didn’t react to hearing Justin’s name or Debbie’s revelation about Dumpster Boy’s identity. But the pride he felt as Justin stared Stockwell down almost gave him away. |

Title: Something Worth Celebrating

Condom: Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force
Ted loosened his collar and resisted the urge to fan himself with the program. He couldn’t believe no one had thought to endow an air conditioner.
He forgot all about the heat as he watched Blake walk across the stage and accept his diploma. He knew Blake couldn’t hear him, but he clapped until his hands hurt.
Blake insisted he didn’t want a fuss made over his graduation, but he deserved one. Rather than arguing, Debbie and Emmett had simply arrived at the condo with food and decorations. Ted couldn’t wait to get Blake home and celebrate with their family. |

I had this ready to go last night and THOUGHT I had hit submit, but when I got up this morning, it hadn't gone through. Sorry about that!!!
Hmmm, emotional pain and physical pain tied in last week's challenge. How Brian-esque. ;)
This week, I'm going to try something a bit different, since the last two didn't get as many drabbles as usual.
The battle will be between the Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force and The Trevor Project, and I'll donate $1 for every qualifying drabble submitted this week to the winning organization. (ALL drabbles count, not just the one awarded to the ultimate winner.)
Our theme is: What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Let me know if you have any questions!
Love,
Xie |
