Ficlet: Hero's Journey,b yHyperfocused ,PG, for "Outcast"

Ficlet: Hero's Journey
Author: Hyperfocused
Rating: PG
Summary: "I would have needed you."
A/N: Tag for 'Outcast", about 500 words

admin: Challenge anyone?

[unadrift.livejournal.com]

It's been pointed out that it feels weird to post a fic here -- to a reccing community. Let me emphasize: This is neither an exclusive rec, nor an exclusive fic community. In order to organize as many episode-related stories as possible, it is open for both. But, in fact, we're going to go the writer's way here today.

In about a week's time we're planning to open our first writing challenge. The prompt will be episode related (duh!) starting out with an episode with no fic or rec listed here up to now. The link below will lead you to a poll where you can pick the episode you'd like to write/read about from a selection of fifteen such episodes. The actual challenge will be a bit more specific than "Write for episode XY", though.

Every story that fits the challenge, regardless of genre or rating, will be accepted. A specific challenge tag will allow you to view all the entries. You'll also be able to post the usual fics and recs for the duration of the challenge. (Detailed rules follow later.)
