Happy 2010, everyone! For those of us who remember, this is ten whole years of surviving Y2K! What would we think of ourselves then if we could see ourselves now, haha. Oh, I so sense a prompt...Prompt title comes from Guns N' Roses
Rumble, January '10:
You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory
Things change, people grow, but our experiences forever shape who we were, who we are, and who we will become.
Write a piece about one of the boys looking back on the events of the book from ten years after the book or fifteen or even twenty. What do they think about it all? How has life changed for them to have this mindset? Try to centralize it on one character, rather than the whole gang. See if you can bring out your one character.
Any POV. I won't set a page limit on this, but if it turns out to be more than 8-10 pages, perhaps think about giving us a ff.net link.
(Speaking of which, it just hits me that Nittanylizard has a story called Ten Years Later over on ff.net, which is kinda like this prompt...Yeah. Wow, nice going... So, to cover my booze-addled brain, go and read her story, but just as an example. I expect uniqueness!)
Please copy, paste and post your entries under this thread so we can all enjoy them! I know there are some awesome imaginations on this forum. So get writing!
Tens

Why didn't I know about this sooner?!?! I'd LOVE to participate in this! Sounds like a lot of fun and I can't wait to read other entries!
I'm *totally* going to write an entry asap and post it up here (along with ff.net).
Thanks for the brill prompt!

Is this rumble still open? I've got a fic going for it, and I just wanted to wonder if it was still available to post?

By the way - before I forget - does the title have to be "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" or can it be something different as long as you say it was written for the January Rumble over at WSOTTA?
--
I don't have anything against the title/prompt (I actually love it!) - just curious if I could possibly choose a different title.

Nope, I don't think it matters- for the November rumble, I posted mine as something other than the title.
Just have to say this- I can't wait for the April rumble!

K, thanks DarryHasAFutureAndI'mInIt - I got a little confused, hahaa. What's the April rumble about? Haven't heard of it yet.

Well... it's a secret, I guess, but I helped with it... But it'll be a lot of fun!

Oh, my story has been edited, the one for the rumble. Corrections have been made, if anyone was interested.
