Listen close to everybody's heart...

For this challenge, you will have two options to participate.

You are a writer? Then the challenge Sentences might be for you.

I offer you two sentences:
1. At the afternoon, I went to the mall by the subway when all of a sudden, we stopped in the middle of a tunnel.
2. I hadn’t planned on becoming a hostage at a bank when I got up this morning.


Your mission, if you want to accept the challenge, is to grab one of the sentences and use it as your story starter or your last line.
You are welcome to use both sentences in one story (as the starter and the last line).
Feel free to change personal pronouns.
Allowed are fics up to 500 words (+ the given sentence)

You are an icon lover? Then the challenge Themes might be for you.

I offer you two themes:
1. accessories
2. polka dots

Your mission, if you want to accept the challenge, is to grab one of the themes and create a minimum of four icons for it.
Icons should fit DW standard (100 x 100 px).


For both challenges: all fandoms, genres, and ratings are welcome, as are original work and real-person work.

You want to mix up both challenges? Go ahead, but stay to the requirements of every challenge.
