Inspired?
Challenge Details
Has anyone ever read someone else's work and liked it so much you wanted to write more? A sequel, or prequel perhaps?
Write something (prequel, sequel, missing scene, poem, drabble etc) based on a story by another author. It can be fun to explore other writers' universes, character interpretations, ideas etc.
A couple of ground rules:
* Please ensure that you have the inspiring author's permission to use or refer to his/her story. You may want to send a draft of your work to him/her for their approval
*Please identify the inspiring story and credit its author in your work. This can be done either in the story summary or in an author's note
Challenge closes: 22 October 2005

- A drabble of Flick's lovely Adrah's Eyes, drabbled with permission of course. Now, there are almost 7 000 words in Adrah's Eyes so needless to say I've had to leave out all the good stuff - the beautiful descriptions and lovely characterisations. All I can say is - if you haven't read it go and read it.
