Cup of Tea #1

So this will be Project Phoenix's first writing challenge. There will be two prompts: a picture and a word prompt. You can write a story for either or both prompts. If you do write it, post it on FF.Net and provide the following in the comments:

• Author name
• Story name
• Link to story
• What challenge it answers

These challenges are by no means mandatory. If you're inspired, write it! :) I'll read each and every entry and review it. Once all the nominees are in, I'll select a Runner Up and a Winner for each prompt. Here's what you get if you win:

• A place in the "Project Phoenix" community
• A review from moi
• A chance to be put on the Bucket List
• More exposure to the fandom

As you can see, it isn't much. I hope to change that as FM grows, but we'll see. Here are the tentative dates:

• July 21, 2012: Contest begins for both prompts
• August 25, 2012: Contest ends for both prompts
• September 1, 2012: Winners are announced

Word Prompt: ABCs

Requirements:

• No drabble may exceed 2,300 words.
