Challenge #00271: Rule 9 for Life

The mundane uses of adamantium claws

[AN: For those unfamiliar with Gibbs and his rules, rule 9 is “Never go anywhere without a knife”]

There is a saying that goes, ‘for a man with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail’. For Logan, he always had a knife.

He used them to snag apples from the fruit bowl. To open tricky parcels. To open mail. To shave with. To deal with that horrible shrink wrap that industries

Challenge #00270: Heroic

Bigger brother usually has the spotlight, he’s always the one they call when there’s trouble, and he’s good at what he does. But sometimes, the younger sibling saves the day.

He called himself Pax, an ancient word for peace. Of course, the first time he was noticed as a hero, the headline read, PAX A PUNCH! in typical headliner absence of humor.

He was tall, strong, could fly, very little could harm him and, when he

Assembled cogniscents, I give you NaNoInspo Possum!

I found that cheerful little darling via google search and extended the negative space above hir head. I tried to pick the most excited and optimistic-looking possum there was.

Challenge #00269: Vamping it Up

Pierce Opal Silkyoak goes to a swanky vampire party :P

[AN: Smartarse]

She wore black, of course. Black with lots and lots of jet beads that made it shimmered in any available light. A well-selected scattering of diamonds and gold ensured that there would always, always be light.

The rest of the vamps attending the soiree showed various levels of quiet respect. Those who were her enemies backed off. Those who were her allies paid close attention to her every move. The

NaNoInspo

I’m already writing, so any participation of mine in NaNoWriMo will be more or less background noise. But then I thought:

What about the first-timers?

Peeps who are just sitting down for the first time to do something big and creative (I include the peeps participating in NaNoManGo, too, but I suck at art) and may be a little bit daunted. Or experiencing trepidation about the whole deal.

So I came up with NaNoInspo.

No, bad dog!

A couple years back, in a fan-driven interview with Evo’s character-designer Steven E. Gordon, one of the more jokey questions was “Does Rahne shed?"  His reply, equally jokey, was "Yeah… that’s why they don’t let her sit on the good furniture."  I ran across this interview and question, and instantly thought of your work.  Make of it whatever your muse spurs you into doing with it, either the question, answer, or

Challenge #00267: Learning the Ropes

“We also also learned that anyone ordering in excess of three tons of tapioca, six conifers, and a goldfish should be arrested immediately, and please, please, please do not ask why.”

Every last Ensign asked, “Why?”

This one asked, “What can you possibly do with tapioca, conifers, and a goldfish?”

Lyr turned on hir. “Have you heard of an area called the Glunk?”

“Uh. No?”

“I’ll send you the
