Prompt #F6: Genre in Miniature. Capture an entire genre in 500 words or less (think “the world’s smallest epic” or “a haiku-length western”). (Genre) Intertwined bodies interact in interchangeable circumstances, authors pairing off perverts for the purpose of provocativeness. Sometimes, it's a naive young thing matched up with a billionaire; other times, it's a naive young thing matched up with a celebrity. Or a professional athlete. Or a successful businessperson who's had great success at business things, but whose true talent surfaces between the sheets. Regardless of the particulars, praise be to the genre that never fails to find new and inventive ways to depict two (or more!) people (or non-humans!) to bone. first comes the meet-cute, then a dollop of story, and then the fucking. |
