Alder '03: A bit of misdirection. For this challenge, write a fic with a twist. Lead the dear reader astray, then set things a right at the end. A mystery perhaps? Or the misidentification of impassioned prose [either in whom it was intended for, or who the speaker was]? A set up that just doesn't bode well - only to find how innocuous it all really is? Can be humorous, can be suspenseful, playful or devious. However you choose. Just make certain all is not what it seems ;}.

Alder '05: "All in a day's work" is how I think of this one. There is plenty enough drama in the daily ups and downs of 'normal' life. life isn't a soap opera; there's enough that's dramatic in the day-in, day-out struggle that more than suffices. Write about everyday drama - in any variety. As a clarification this doesn't at all mean the "mundane" is drudgery, boring, tedious, etc. If you want them grocery shopping then tallying the monthly budget that would work, but a manhunt in the old west with lots of action and travel can fit as well -- it's more in the treatment than the subject. That casual, daily life feel of 'eh, it's what we do, what we are' mentality.

Alder '06: Change can be good, change can be bad, it can be neither - not good, not bad, just not the same. Small things can bring big changes. Big things can result in only a small change. Things outside our control, sometimes hundreds of miles or a lifetime away, can bring changes. Change is inevitable. A story about change.
