sweetandshortFor this challenge, you will have two options to participate.
You are a writer? Then the challenge Sentences might be for you.
I offer you two sentences:
1. At the afternoon, I went to the mall by the subway when all of a sudden, we stopped in the middle of a tunnel.
2. I hadnβt planned on becoming a hostage at a bank when I got up this morning.
Your mission, if you want to accept the challenge, is to grab one of the sentences and use it as your story starter or your last line.
You are welcome to use both sentences in one story (as the starter and the last line).
Feel free to change personal pronouns.
Allowed are fics up to 500 words (+ the given sentence)
You are an icon lover? Then the challenge Themes might be for you.
I offer you two themes:
1. accessories
2. polka dots
Your mission, if you want to accept the challenge, is to grab one of the themes and create a minimum of four icons for it.
Icons should fit DW standard (100 x 100 px).
For both challenges: all fandoms, genres, and ratings are welcome, as are original work and real-person work.
You want to mix up both challenges? Go ahead, but stay to the requirements of every challenge.
When posting directly tosweetandshort, please use a header of your choice and put bigger works under a cut. You can also post your work at any other place, but please leave a header and a link here to keep the community running.

I will post the voting soon and a new challenge later, for October.ππ¦ Thank you, entrants, for your patience.
P.S. I just learned that the Imgur is blocked in the UK so I will add a screen shot to the voting post if any icons are hosted on it. Opera browser has a free built in VPN if it helps.

WIPBB - A Haunted Houose with a Picket Fence (Neighbours TV)
Oct. 16th, 2025 01:24 amfriendof_dorothy posting in wipbigbangProject Title: A Haunted House with a Picket Fence
Fandom: Neighbours (tv)
Link: HERE
Summary: Paul's first Christmas alone with the triplets in a universe where Gail doesn't survive their birth and reflects on the six months of suffering that have led him to this point.
Warnings: Major character death, maternal death/death in childbirth, absolutely miserable and depressed mc, many references made to a canonical suicide from the show.
Characters: Paul Robinson, Gail Lewis, Des Clarke, Jim Robinson, Helen Daniels.
Pairings: Paul Robinson/Gail Lewis, Paul Robinson/Terry Inglis
When I Started: 12:54 PM on March 24, 2022 according to the timestamps on my doc.
How I Lost My Shit: Honestly I kind of just stopped feeling so miserable as I was when I started this. I graduated Tafe, I found my passion in life, kind of a lot of things changed for me and this fic as much as I thought the concept was decent just fell away from me. The original plan I had for this fic was so grim I ended up changing it entirely for this version because I couldn't stomach leaving Paul in such a dark place after this story.
How I Finished My Shit: I totally flipped everything. The whole fic got a rewrite, the ending was changed, I dropped some secondary plots I wasn't feeling and I listened to my muse about what it wanted this fic to look like. Then I FINISHED MY SHIT! Thank you sooo much to Ragna for the cover and chapter dividers!
