I find myself struggling with my ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fanfic100 assignments, but I'm not giving up. In fact, I'm trying to claim a third batch (why, yes, I am stark raving mad!).
So, I'm starting with something smaller to get my feet wet. I've signed up for1character, which is much like fanfic100. You pick a character, and write 50 sentences about him/her/it, based on 50 given themes.
There's also1sentence, where you do the same thing for a pair of characters. I'm thinking of doing Frodo and Pippin (but I will not turn it into a slashy smut pairing) for that.
I highly recommend these communities to the writers on my f-list. They're fun little character study exercises.
/rambling
Coming soon from the pen of Beruthiel: 50 sentences each on our beloved Peregrin Took and Albus Dumbledore, followed by 50 on Pippin's friendship with his cousin Frodo.
Coming not-so-soon, but eventually: Star Wars, Harry Potter, and possibly The Chronicles of Narnia - 100 fics each. Eeep.
In the meantime, here is Pippin drabble 3/5, which I wrote weeks ago and forgot to post. Bad Beruthiel!
Smell
The City of Minas Tirith is permeated with death.
Wandering through the lower levels, Pippin surveys the aftermath of battle. Pyres burn on the Pelennor Fields, thick smoke wafting up, carrying the aroma of roasting flesh. Inside the walls, the air is little better; dust tickles his nose as he passes piles of rubble, and the acrid remnants of fires choke him.
He dreads returning to the Houses of Healing, where the hallways reek of blood, urine, and vomit, of corpses beginning to rot; but Merry is alive and waiting. For this, Pippin smiles, even amid the stench of death.
100 words exactly!!! Go me!
