Reach for the Stars by Dreamflower

Author: Dreamflower
Title: Reach for the Stars
Rating: G
Theme: Thinking Outside the Box
Elements: random words—die, mellow, juice
Author's Notes: The challenge was to write in a format, style or genre different than what I've written before. Well, I got to thinking about it, and the one thing I had never written was an AU that places the characters in an entirely different milieu. And I started imagining LotR as a sort of steampunkish futuristic space opera. To keep it from getting totally out of hand, I decided to do something else I haven't tried before—each chapter is a different specific fixed length: the first chapter is 100 words, the second, 200, the next, 300, etc. I don't know how well it will do as a story—but it is certainly outside MY box. (Although, well, it's still got hobbits.)
Summary: A familiar story in another time, another place altogether…
Word Count:1,500

Too Young by Linaewen

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

Author:  Linaewen
Title:  Too Young
Rating:  G
Theme:  Thinking Outside the Box
Elements:  Word elements:  splinter, pique, angry.
Author's Notes:  I had a hard time coming up with something that I haven't tried before, but eventually I realized that I don't write Dwarves very often, nor do I write women, so I decided to combine the two.  To make it more of a challenge, I decided to restrict the word count.  I always find it difficult to write fixed lengths stories, so I guess that counts as out of the box!
Summary:  A mother deals with an obstinate son who is unhappy about being considered too young for an important task.
Word Count:  400 words according to Microsoft Word.
