My 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 draycevixen and severinne have both signed up. How are you faring with your prompt?

I've signed up for this year. I'm hoping to actually write something this time. It's not going too well so far...

Hmm. Yours is a bit Blair Witch Project, isn't it.

Any idea which fandom you might write in?

P.S. Also reminded me of this:

I'm thinking it's more suited to Professionals than Life on Mars, but I might go all out and make it original fic. I'll stare at it some more and see if any ideas form.

That's a very atmospheric scene from Snow White. I might use it for a bit of inspiration :)
