December is here and you know what that means... A new month means a new prompt! December is often called the season of giving, aptly so considering the many wintry holidays which generally include some sort of giving during the month. For this month, December, there will be three prompt options (as per usual), all based around this theme of “giving” in one way for another. As usual, your response to a prompt is worth 15 francs and in order to receive those francs you must post a response to the IOU list after you reply to the prompt, stating that you replied to this prompt specifically, and also stating which character is owed the 15 francs. This being said, I now set you off to be free to write. Write away, my lovelies, and Happy Holidays.
P.S. If you put your response in Holiday colors (red, white, green, blue, gold, or silver), I will personally give you 2 extra francs extra. Please State that you used the colors though in the IOU when you post.
*OPTION ONE ~ THE PERFECT GIFT*
Your character is trying to come up with what to give their significant other (close friend, spouse, child, parent, student, teacher, third cousin's uncle twice removed, etc.. What would your character get for this person? How would they go about obtaining the gift? How would they present the gift to this significant other? Your task is to write an account of your character going out to find this gift (or making it as the case may be) and then presenting it to their significant other. Your response must be at least five paragraphs in length and contain both proper spelling and grammar. You may wish to include a picture of the gift (use the code [img][/img] with the direct link to the photo in the center), however, it is not necessary to complete your response.
*OPTION TWO ~ THE FAVORITE GIFT*
Your character has more likely than not received at least one gift during their lifetime, however obscure that gift may be. It could be something elaborate, or merely something tiny and simple, even just a gesture that touched their heart and that they remember fondly. Now, of all of the gifts that your character has received, what gift was most precious to them? What made this gift so precious? Who was it from? In this option, your character is either reflecting back upon when they received, or is currently receiving a gift that is “the most precious” to them. You should include things like how old your character is when they are receiving the gift, their initial reaction, their reaction later on if it changed, etc.. Your response must be at least four paragraphs in length and contain proper spelling and grammar. You may, if you wish to, write in first person for this response. As with the previous option, you may wish to include a picture of the gift (use the code [img][/img] with the direct link to the photo in the center), however, it is not necessary to complete your response.
*OPTION THREE ~ THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT OF ALL*
What does your character desire more than anything else in the world? It could be an object, a person, a feeling... anything, really. Why do they want this thing so much? Your task for this prompt option is to have your character explain their heart's greatest desire, along with what they would do and how they would feel if they actually received this as a gift. Would they be compelled to give something back in return? If so, what would they give to express gratitude for such a tremendous gift? Your response should be at least three paragraphs in length and contain proper spelling and grammar. This option may be written in first person if desired. As with both of the previous prompt options, you may wish to include a picture of the gift (use the code [img][/img] with the direct link to the photo in the center), however, it is not necessary to complete your response.
