Wow, I definitely had a...weird plot bunny for this one. Kind of glad it's supposed to be short, because man it's surprisingly hard to get to even 600 words.

I didn't think I'd come up with something for this, because I haven't really felt like writing at all lately - but oh wonder. This actually got my creative juices flowing *does a little silly happiness dance*

Does anyone else occasionally fear the wrath of their plot bunnies?

I have a question, sorry. I really like writing Shinichi as a female because in my opinion, there aren't too many female detectives, so can I keep her as a female in the one shot?

You just need to follow the guidelines. And have your fic done and posted in the next three hours and thirty minutes. That's the deadline. Just make sure you get it in on time.

Yay! The poll's up! Just, uh, one thing. My story was titled "Talking Over Drinks". "Hope" was the title of the theme. I used that so it didn't get confused with any other super short competitions, if there were any.

In the future, please title them in the form "SS Contest #: Your Title". I do not look at the threads themselves, I go by what you have titled your thread in the interest of expediency.

Okay. The votes are in, and we have a winner! Congrats to TinyTantei! Second place goes to rainbowcupcake, and dogfish44 and Mikauzoran are tied for third place!
Thank you so much to everyone who participated! I'm so glad that our first super short contest was a success! ^o^
Tiny, I don't know if we're doing prize badges for this or not. ^.^; Sorry. I'd make you something if I had any artistic talent at all, but...we'll see, I guess. ^.^;
Anyway, tomorrow will be the start of our next 5k contest, and I'll be back with another super short contest at the end of the month. I think I'm going to be doing them the last week of the month, but stay tuned!
Congrats again, and thanks again!

*Claps enthusiastically and glomps our victor* Congratulations, Tiny!!! ^o^ Your concept was super interesting.
Thank you so much to the three people that voted for me! I'm so glad that you enjoyed my work! I'm kind of surprised that it did well considering that the sort-of pairing really isn't common/popular...and the fact that I whipped that up about three hours before the deadline. ^.^; Anyway! Thank you again for your support and your votes!
