Another week down with three new moods!

This week's Minimum, Medium, and Maximum moods are: Nerdy, Okay, Sad

Some more straightforward moods after last week's Indescribable! (Belatedly, if you're still having trouble with that one—valid, TBH—taking a look at what site supported mood themes have done with it might be helpful; a lot of them look pretty similar to the later-occurring Blank, though the Jellyfish have also been turned upside-down in contrast.) Hopefully everyone here is already acquainted with Nerdy 😉 If you're doing your own art, slapping a pair of nerdy glasses on is a quick way to convey the mood, but my upcoming pigeon mood has the bird incubating some polyhedral dice! Okay can be a little difficult to contrast with Good, but Sad is pretty cut-and-dry (or cut-and-wet, if we're including tears).

What are your thoughts on this week's moods? Do you have ideas for some of them already, or do you need to do more thinking/searching? Want to discuss any of them to get a better idea of what to do? Let's talk about it!

(Side note, sorry for my lack of response last week! I think I may have just gotten a tiny bit overwhelmed by how many people are participating 💖 I'm going to try and catch up after my evening shows tonight.)

[#288 | Inconveniences] Challenge Post

Challenge 288:
INCONVENIENCES
Sometimes it’s the little things that really get you. The potted plant you could have sworn was out of the cat’s reach – except apparently it wasn’t. The lunch you were definitely going to pack, until you ran out of time. Someone needs to put gas in the car, and you have a meeting all morning, and there’s a horde of alien locusts on Main Street again so you’re going to have to work around that, too. It may or may not be anybody’s fault, exactly – except the alien locusts – but it sure is inconvenient!

Write a story about inconveniences.

BONUS GOAL: Cat-astrophe

If your submission features cats (alien cat-ish things count), it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!


Challenge ends Monday, January 26 at 9:00PM EST.
• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 288 – inconveniences
