picfor1000 assignment for 2015 is a black cat and a castle :
The challenge 13 theme is "unlucky things" (I guess because it's the 13th challenge), and each participant is given a photograph to inspire any fic as long as it weighs in at exactly 1,000 words. Here's my pic:
Admittedly I did go AWOL on my assignment for the previous 2 years. Well, third time lucky, I say! THIS IS THE YEAR WHERE I BREAK THAT TREND. *determined face*
Luckily this image has tons of potential. I've been toying with various ideas involving (a) Sleepy Hollow, (b) Shirley Jackson (i.e. a postscript story to We Have Always Lived In The Castle, because clearly that IS Jonas outside the Blackwood home), or just maybe (c) Warehouse 13. I figure, in a pinch I can do a fic where an artefact turns the world black and white. You know, the way things were in the olden days.
That said - if your first reaction to the pic is "OMFG this would be perfect for {fandom/plot bunny}", I am definitely all ears! *chinhands*
Not sure how many of you are also doing the challenge? I know![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
draycevixen and severinne have both signed up. How are you faring with your prompt?

The fandoms you mention sound like good, solid choices. :D
If you want to write about Abraham, this looks like somewhere he might hole up. The US has a lot of buildings built to look like something from the "old country."

Or I could stay with the kitty theme and write something for Puss in Boots. *snerk*

Ooh, good point. I hadn't had Abraham in mind particularly, but you've tickled an idea there. Thank you!
This morning I was looking at the prompt, thought "Hey - catspaw," and vaguely recalled there was a ST:TOS episode of that name. Do you remember it? I didn't, but Wikipedia did, and whoa, "Catspaw" was seriously incoherent. I'd love to see someone try to do that with the reboot! Well, not me obviously, but someone...

I followed your link. I vaguely remember the cat and definitely remember the ending with the "stick insects." I suspect that episode wasn't re-broadcast quite as much. *g*
