Because I'm a lazy hoe, I haven't pimped my Helen's 60th Birthday Challenge since I issued it.
I shall do so now.
*Beats with a huge pimp stick*
Option 1 - Drabble
On July 26th, this year, Helen Mirren turns 60! To celebrate, I challenge ALL of you to a HM/Prime Suspect Drabblethon!
We are all waiting for Prime Suspect 7, are we not? And we've all heard that Helen will only do it if they KILL Jane Tennison *sobs*.
How's she going to die? Why wait to find out? Let's write it ourselves!
Rules:
1. Drabbles are to be 100 words. No more, no less.
2. Jane Tennison must die, or be dead already.
Obviously, the death of one of our favourite fictional characters is an angsty topic. Angst is lovely, and encouraged, but BONUS points will be given to anyone who can write something comedic, albiet black.
EVEN MORE bonus points for the person who thinks of the weirdest/most random cause of death (like survivng a serial killer, then choking on a ham sandwich, or something).
Deadline: July 20, 2005.
Comment on this entry with a link to your drabble, or post it in its entirety, and I'll compile them into one post, in time for Helen's birthday.
Option 2 - by request
Vinegette (as close to 1000 words as possible)
Kill Jane Tennison
OR
Write a first person piece from the perspective of one of Helen's OTHER characters.
Include at least one of the following *rubs god-like challenge creator fingers together*:
1. "Don't call me Ma'am"
2. Someone singing "Oh, you beautiful dog!"
3. A nekkid photograph.
4. "Difficult colour, green." (I know it wasn't a Helen line, but there are so many things you could do with it)
5. A screw up against a wall. (the cocktail or the real thing, it's your call)
You're not restricted to the films those things come from. Indeed, it would be hugely amusing to see them taken completely out of their context.
There haven't been many responses yet, so please contribute! I promise reviews (at least from myself)
