SKJAM's Free Microfic Day--Winter Edition
Hi! It's time for me to do a little more writing exercise, so let's a free microfic day.
Name of Day: SKJAM!'s Free Microfic Day
Description of Service: Leave a prompt or prompts in the time window (below) and I will write at least one microfic. The themes this time will be winter, cold and snow; you don't need to include any of those words in your prompt though. No fanfic, this time.
Who is Eligible: Anyone who leaves a prompt on time.
Date/Time Window: December 17 and 18, 2011. It may take longer than that for me to get done, of course.
Tipping? Sure, why not? My Paypal addy is skjam at yahoo dot com. If I get $10 in donations, I'll write to up to two prompts per person. If the total reaches $25, I'll make an icon related to one of the microfics for each requester. Making me a tip banner will count as $5.
Examples: Here's a link to my last microfic day. http://skjam.livejournal.com/185720.html

Everything sparkles
Peaceful night
A yard-guardian built of snow
Imnanna returns...
Qilly smiled as she did so often. Imnanna never knew how to take it, as the mage's eyelids were always lowered, making it impossible to truly read her expressions. How Qilly even saw was a mystery to Imnanna.
"I admit the weather is unpleasant here," admitted Qilly. "I moved south as soon I could, you know. But our mission is urgent, and there are compensations."
An pulled aside the leather hanging that served as an entrance to the yurt as she entered. The dwarf stomped snow off her boots. "Must have switched from sleet sometime after we fell asleep. Clouds have cleared, though, and the sun should be up in a minute or two."
"Can you be ready in three minutes, then, Imnanna? There's something I want to show you." Qilly was pulling on her outer layer of cold weather gear and getting into her sealskin boots.
"Uh, sure, Qilly." Imnanna wondered what her friend was up to. They weren't going to be summoned to the chief's hut for hours.
Imnanna quickly got as ready as she could for the outdoors, then followed Qilly out of the yurt.
She had to squeeze her eyes shut for a moment. The sun had just risen; why was there so much light?
Then Imnanna opened her eyes again and looked around. What in the evening had been a drab collection of brown and gray domes in a sea of mud surrounded by dead trees was now a glittering landscape of white.
And not just white, but glints of all the colors of light, refracted from icicles and the snow's icy crust. "It's beautiful," she gasped. "Everything sparkles."
Qilly laughed. "This is the face of my motherland when she puts on her makeup!"
