I have signed up for a ficathon in the Sapphire and Steel fandom hosted by the element_flash community.

The assignments will not be sent until July 11 (optimally), but I haven't written fanfic in 4evah.

Are either of you familiar with S&S? If so, would you be interested in beta work, when time rolls around?

I would happily return the favor if you have a current work in progress.

Minimum length is one thousand words, and I don't write slash or smut, if these factoids provide any further enticement.

One of the fellows that I work with also writes and he suggested that we challenge ourselves to strengthen our writing skills. We chose this prompt from a writing exercise book I have had forever.

Feel free to participate, because the more the merrier, as we all know.

Prompt:
Depict a cemetery from the standpoint of a woman who, for the first time in ten years, visits her lover’s tombstone. Even if her emotions are strong, don’t express them in global terms “she was overcome with sorrow,” but show expressions of the emotion in what she sees, how she sees it—birds, plants, ants, other tombs, mourners.

James and I arbitrarily assigned a length of 500-1000 words.

So, my offering is behind the cut.
