ADMIN POST: 38 Minutes Challenge

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

This one comes from merryish, who wants a 38 Minutes Challenge--except it's not what you think.

This is NOT a challenge about the episode 38 Minutes, or about writing a story that takes place in 38 minutes; no, as Merry puts it, "that's how many minutes you get to write it, whatever it is. It'd be like, 'We know what Rodney can do in 38 minutes...what can YOU do?'"

Now, obviously we can't sit here and monitor you, but we are asking you to play fair. Call it an honor system. Obviously we'll be getting shorter fiction this time around, but feel free to write stories early and often. The theme is up to you, everything about the story is up to you, except for...38 minutes. 37 minutes and fifty-five seconds. Tick! Tick!...

It's Friday morning by my watch; stories will be due next Friday, April 8th, at midnight.

Title: Ankhs
Author: Kiara Sayre
Length: 1,255 words
Challenge: 38 Minutes
Category: Gen
Rating: PG, on the safe side
Summary: What do a Lieutenant in the Marines and an astrophysicist have in common? They both remember.

Notes: I kind of ran out of time--so if things seem a bit stilted or rushed, it's because, well, it kind of...was. ^_^;; Also--it spoils Hot Zone fairly severely, as it takes place two days after it.
