Trifecta Anniversary Mash-up Part Deux!
2012
Welcome word-nerdlings, and “Team B”, to the second half of (cue deep baritone voice-over) The Great Trifecta Anniversary Writing Challenge Mash-up!
In case you missed the news, Trifecta Writing Challenge is celebrating one year of most excellent writing prompts, and they asked me if I wanted to team up for a writing challenge twist to help them celebrate.
(Side rant – this reminds me that I keep NO track of when the blogaversary is for Velvet Verbosity. Crazy.)
SO, details. First, if you still don’t know what the heck is going on, you should read the original post over at Trifecta. Second, if you had to click that link to find out what was going on you’re probably a bit dismayed to learn that you missed the boat on signing up to be part of a writing team and now you’re sitting on the bleachers. (Boo. Hisss.) Not to worry my dear word-nerds, you may not have a chance to win anything, but I’ll find a way for you to play along by the end of this post.

AND here’s a link to the original linkz sign-up in case you forgot where to find your team-mate or don’t recognize who they are.
AND here again is the link to the starting prompt post where you can remind yourself of the rules, and find the link to your “A” team members post.
YOUR job now is to finish the story in 33-100 words (I won’t lie, I’ll be tickled if you do it in 100). The original prompt was:
Charts and optimal dates and preferential temperatures. One line or two. As if she could summon whatever it is that makes up the human soul as easily as she could a cab on a busy New York avenue.
Your “A” team member will have continued their portion of the story, and you pick it up from there to finish it off, and then link it below.
*Helpful Tip: When choosing text for your link-up, it’s helpful if you list what team number you are. Example: “[Your Name] Team [#] Member [A or B]“. You don’t have to do it like this but, you know, everyone’s sanity.
For Non Team Members
Still want to write your 100 words this week even if you don’t get to play on a team? Go ahead and either write 100 words in response to the paragraph prompt above, OR ANY WORD you choose from it. LINK UP IN COMMENTS instead of using the Linky Tool which is for previously signed-up players in the mash-up team challenge.
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Love it? Hate it? Let me know in comments.
Whatever you do, Write On.

I apologize for the double entry (new phone etc) but I am concerned that the first isn’t linking correctly. Could you let me know and email me if you need to delete any of these?

so much fun working with you as well, Kirsten.
I hope you won’t mind, but I am going to edit my entry to include your conclusion . . . just in case someone in my (cough, cough) readership misses it.

I couldn’t find a way to edit my link to remove my name from it. Just to clarify: team 13 should read Nancy and Janna, as it is not just my story!
Sorry, Nancy…it’s early and I must not be awake yet
Will clean up any link messes this evening.
Several of the links aren’t working when I click them; when I mouse over them it shows the correct address, but when I click it takes me to an error page camped at linkytools .com. Luckily I can read them the page and just type it in, but I thought I’d let you know.
Thanks for letting me know Rachael. I’ll look into it!
All the links but the first worked for me, which was a duplicate so I deleted it. Perhaps Linkytools was down for a bit? Not sure. If anyone else has trouble, let me know!
Janna, I made the correction to your link to include Nancy.
our link is still broken
Should we re-submit? Sorry to be troublesome. Thanks for hosting part 2
