What is death to one who brings it?
A drabble.
I really like the idea of SIYE's six-word story challenge. The source (Hemingway's supposed contest-winning novel) may or may not be accurate, but the challenge itself is meaningful and thought-provoking. However, because of the way SIYE chose to compile and format the challenge entries, they got a bit mangled. Any dialog or other multi-line entries look pretty awful, and to me they lose some of their readability and impact. So, for my own satisfaction, here are my six-word stories, formatted as I intended them.
A drabble for Girlyswot, who requested "an HP drabble with characters of your choosing to the prompt: Pure Fluff." This was a challenge, as Ros knows, for fluff doesn't come naturally to me. It crossed my mind to do something difficult to make fluffy, like a Draco/Pansy scene, but I decided not to get too ambitious too soon. Baby steps.
These are my entries into the SIYE Hemingway Six Challenge. Like Dave, I found it almost impossible to read through all those entries formatted as they were. So these are my entries as I wrote them.
