Tasha's (aka Beren) Journal

As of last week week we have opened up the Drabble cascade to flash fiction of up to 500 words as well, so you don't have to hit the 100 exactly if you would like to play.

Our word of the week is 'friend'.

If you're a fanfic author, we take any fandom any rating.
If you're an original author you could write a drabble for your current book and use the cascade as a way to grab new readers.
We even take meta.

The only rule about content is that it has to be inspired by this week's word of the week.

On full LJ the list does not show up because it won't allow javascript, but it still shows up the header link (see below) if you copy the list code as normal. You can add your link and grab the code at this post (the chain link icon will bring up a box with the code in it).

Title: What are we?
Author: Beren
Fandom: Welcome to the Punch
Pairing: Jacob Sternwood/Max Lewinsky
Rating: R (you could argue PG13, but I'm playing it safe)
Word Count: 100

( What are we? )

Title: Welcome to the Punch
Cast:
James McAvoy - Max Lewinsky
Mark Strong - Jacob Sternwood
Andrea Riseborough - Sarah Hawks
Writer: Eran Creevy
Director: Eran Creevy
Summary: Max Lewinsky is a police officer in London and three years ago he almost caught Jacob Sternwood, top criminal single handedly. It almost cost him his career and when Sternwood, now retired, is forced to return to the UK because his son is involved in a shooting, Max is there to try and catch him. However, there are deeper things going on and nothing is quite so straightforward.

I read one review of this that said it was incoherent, but I have no idea what film they were watching. You have to pay attention, but that's because the story has details and makes perfect sense. I loved this film and can't wait for the blu-ray release.

( Read the rest of the review ) So, that is the end of my review, but I just have to add, be still my slashy little heart. Oh my, the fanfic vibes I got off this. Max and Sternwood have this staring into each others' eyes moment at the end of the film, admittedly over a gun, but it just fired every fanfic button I had. It's like Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, or Loki and Tony Stark; it just screams, we are enemies and yet we should be kissing madly :). See below and tell me I am wrong.
