Dark Drabblefest: Prompts for Day Three

[dark_administrator]

Theme:
Somewhere, on the edge of consciousness, there is what I call a mythical norm, which each one of us within our hearts knows "that is not me." In america, this norm is usually defined as white, thin, male, young, heterosexual, Christian, and financially secure. It is with this mythical norm that the trappings of power reside within this society. Those of us who stand outside that power often identify one way in which we are different, and we assume that to be the primary cause of all oppression, forgetting other distortions around difference, some of which we ourselves may be practising. By and large within the women's movement today, white women focus upon their oppression as women and ignore differences of race, sexual preference, class, and age. There is a pretense to a homogeneity of experience covered by the word sisterhood that does not in fact exist. - Audre Lorde (Source)

Tongues:

Femme nue, femme obscure Fruit mûr à la chair ferme, sombres extases du vin noir, bouche qui fais lyrique ma bouche Savane aux horizons purs, savane qui frémis aux caresses ferventes du Vent d’Est Tamtam sculpté, tamtam tendu qui gronde sous les doigts du vainqueur Ta voix grave de contralto est le chant spirituel de l’Aimée

Naked woman, dark woman Ripe fruit with firm flesh, dark raptures of black wine, Mouth that gives music to my mouth Savanna of clear horizons, savanna quivering to the fervent caress Of the East Wind, sculptured tom-tom, stretched drumskin Moaning under the hands of the conqueror Your deep contralto voice is the spiritual song of the Beloved.

Guidelines:

• Prompts are entirely optional, to use, subvert or ignore as you please.
  
• The goal is to write a drabble of at least 100 words in one of the qualifying Remix fandoms. If you end up writing a longer fic, more joy to us all.
  
• Your drabble must put a chromatic character at the centre of its narrative.
  
• You can share your drabbles in comments to each day's prompts post, as long as you include a fandom and a rating in your subject.
  
• You may suggest and/or solicit fandom or character specific prompts in comments, as long as your ratio of prompts to drabbles does not tilt heavily towards the former.
  
• If you are trying to qualify for Remix 2010, you will need 7 drabbles in any one fandom. You don't have to do Remix to play here, though.
