Discovered in the Holly and the Ivy - Day 1! Welcome to the challenge!

Happy Discovered in the Holly and the Ivy Day! It's the first day of our challenge, and the tenth Christmas/winter/solstice/let-there-be-light type December challenges, and this year we're starting with a big reveal - pulling the curtains on the comm banner created by minori_k. Are you ready...? This is what you will see at the comm, whenever you go over to visit....


Could there be a more beautiful banner for our challenge? *vbg* I have been dancing around my laptop for days, waiting impatiently until everyone could see it!

But I'm hoping our first day won't stop there - I thought that maybe as a thank you to Minori for such a gorgeous banner, we could try a wee Drabble-Ficlet-Tinywriting day? Can we write and post Drabble-Ficlet-Tinywritings throughout the day, inspired by Minori's lovely banner? There's a miniature version of the banner under the cut below if you'd like to post it with your offering - it would be lovely to see Minori's banner scattered through our flists today, with wee moments of Pros to go with it! What do you think? I'm dashing off to Job 3 in a minute, but I'll be composing as I go... *g*

Let's let Minori know how much we love her Pros (in any way we can... *g*) - post any time today, up until midnight lad's time (GMT), and then it will be Day 2. Pros in December has begun! *vbg*

Thank you, minori_k!

Discovered in the Holly and Ivy--day 1, story challenge

I saw this pretty picture this morning by Minori and accepted the challenge. I kept getting an image of Doyle wrapped in holly in my head. I thought it would be a drabble, then a double drabble--now it's over 1300 words. Not beta'd or Brit checked.

This is one of those stories that kept poking at me for several days, maybe even a week before I had time to write it down. It surprised me, too!

Prosfic - The Holly and the Ivy by Slantedlight (for Minori!)

Well since I requested it, I thought I'd better set a good example... *g* I thought I was going to be all alone in it too, and then dawnebeth posted - hurrah! Like hers, my drabble kind of got away from me too... *g*

The Holly and the Ivy
by Slantedlight

The carol singers were in fine voice, notes floating through the air and into Bodie's ground floor flat as though they were singing at King's, and there was only a brief pause at the end of Silent Night, a bare breath perhaps, before the next tune rose into the Christmas eve night.
