Challenge 288:
INCONVENIENCES

Sometimes it’s the little things that really get you. The potted plant you could have sworn was out of the cat’s reach – except apparently it wasn’t. The lunch you were definitely going to pack, until you ran out of time. Someone needs to put gas in the car, and you have a meeting all morning, and there’s a horde of alien locusts on Main Street again so you’re going to have to work around that, too. It may or may not be anybody’s fault, exactly – except the alien locusts – but it sure is inconvenient!

Write a story about inconveniences.

BONUS GOAL: Cat-astrophe

If your submission features cats (alien cat-ish things count), it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, January 26 at 9:00PM EST.

• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 288 – inconveniences
• If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here

If you're motivated by banners, take a look at ALL the things you can earn. All you have to do is comment with what you've earned - it's all on the honor system. I'll make a banner for you no matter how long ago you earned it! You can also just grab one of the generic banners (not available for all colors or color/style combinations). Need help figuring out what banners you've earned? Try the Auto Counting Tracking Sheet

( banners for ParadoxCase )

I hadn't done the generic for Tempera, so here it is:

Our new challenge is:

SECOND CHANCES

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Sunday, February 1st. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work for creator and fandom. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

You can view stats for

fan_flashworks entries and search and filter them via the Community Report and Creator Report. See our FAQ post for more details.

Also, keep an eye out for the next

ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the

Name: A Concerning Request
Story: The Fulcrum
Colors: Warm Heart #2: Worry
Styles and Supplies: Novelty Bead ("train whistle", given here), Panorama, Reimagining, Feathers (January 19, 1975: Establishment of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission)
Word Count: 2687
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Characters: Setsiana, Qhoroali, Cusäfä
In-Universe Date: 1912.4.5.3, 21st century, (approximately) -10,000
Summary: Qhoroali pays another visit to Cusäfä.
Notes: I decided the first Cusäfä chapter was entirely too long and had way too much stuff in it, so I removed all of the worldbuilding that was not immediately relevant to that earlier part of the story and moved it into this later scene (about 1500 words of dialog, which has since been neatened up and expanded with more action beats). So if some stuff in here seems like it something you already read before, it's probably because you did. There is some new stuff in here, too, but since a large chunk of it is rewritten from the previous scene, it gets the Reimagining tag.

Today's discussion question: what are some recent influences on your writing? This is less of a question about what fandoms you write for, but rather, what has influenced your writing style or your craft?
