My poor microfic compilations are feeling neglected, but here’s the only one I’ve thrown onto tumblr within the last week or so. Inspired by reading one of Passive Guy’s posts about copyright.
FE51, you are guilty of mindsnatching and in copyright violation under Article IV, Points Six, Seven, and, unbelieviably, Eight.
“You never came back.”
“I’m here now.”

“We can’t sustain this place. That’s beyond us now.”
Attie shook her head. “It was always beyond us. Always.”

And in that moment she knew she was the killer of hope, even when she wanted to bring hope instead.

“I’ve been sitting here forever but I can’t figure it out.”
Lorna rotated the book. “Upside-down reading won’t help.”

“You need sleep.”
“I need to solve this. I’ll sleep when I’ve got the spare time.”

The rift was too large for her to jump across. As fear gripped her for the first time, she realized how mortal an immortal could become.

Nothing feels better than your skin against mine when I wake up. Too bad it has to change.
(to which the epic RalfMaximus replied: And you know how I react to change. Thus it only took six months to clone enough of your skin to make my new pajamas.)
I started writing microfic because of this blog post. It seemed like a good way to keep inspiration flowing. I’ve dedicated my tumblr blog to micro posts, including microfic, pictures, and brief updates or comments. Just trying out a new things. Minimalism can be really fun. Anyway, from now on there will be a weekly microfic compilation posted either Saturday or Sunday. Enjoy!
PS: Each compilation post will have a witty little tagline, usually one that corresponds with whichever microfic was most popular that week, to distinguish each from one another better than the numbers can. This is to help you so you won’t have to click on each one trying to find a specific compilation with a specific piece. And because I like witty taglines.

Rest is overrated. Buy our adreno-pump today and work your way to Mars.

“If you sniffle one more time I’ll get out the anti-matter ray.”
“This isn’t a voluntary reflex you know.”

The world was her playpen, only its edges were burned.

The view was divine. The planet’s ocean shimmered like a bright sapphire in the morning sun. Too bad he had to blow the place up.

Don’t think Blade and Vampire Hunter D represent all of us daywalkers. That’d be a fatal mistake.

It’s all fun and games until someone summons a hellhound.

It never occurred to her that jumping off a cliff might be fatal. Why wouldn’t her wing move?
