Okay, so lent is over. That means the challenge for me is over. Now it’s your turn. I'm going to be posting a set a riddles. Every one is invited to take a guess. The Easter Season is 50 days long. There will be at least 7 riddles and seven stories awarded to the correct winners. However, if the riddles are guessed before the week finishes, I'll post a new one. No cheating though. If I suspect you cheated, you will be disqualified. You are allowed multiple guesses. [Yes, this is partially an a tempt to see who actually reads this thing. Even if you aren't any good at riddles give a guess. You never know, you might be right.] Person who gets the most gets an extra three fics. In the case of a tie I'll post a tie breaker riddle. Have fun!

Riddle 1:

I have holes in my top and bottom, my left and right, and in the middle. But I still hold water. What am I?

(I may REALLY be digging my own grave with this one. Yes, any request if you guess a riddle. The only limitation is I need at least a basic knowledge of the universe so I can write what you want. No time limit on turn around.)

Edit: That took a long time. Yes, the answer is a sponge. So here is....

Riddle 2:
I run over fields and woods all day. Under the bed at night I sit not alone. My tongue hangs out, up and to the rear, awaiting to be filled in the morning. What am I?

EDIT 2! Okay, people, I'm gonna have to get harder riddles...here is ....
Riddle 3:
My tines be long,
My tines be short
My tines end ere
My first report.
What am I?


EDIT 3!
Okay, slightly changed rules! Riddles will be up for at least a day, and I won't say who is right since you people are so good at guessing. After 7 riddles have been answered correctly, I'm gonna start doing a drawling for one last fic. You get an entry for each correct riddle. And should Greed get them all, she'll get an extra three fics as will the runner up.

Riddle 4:

I fly, yet I have no wings. I cry, yet I have no eyes. Darkness follows me; lower light I never see.

Winners:
Riddle 1: Schert - FMA Genfic
Riddle 2: icedark_elf - HoS Follow up to Shock Redux
Riddle 3: icedark_elf - Edai

.. Eh, I didn't expect it to be the right answer. A Fullmetal Alchemist gen-ficlet would work, I suppose. You can choose any scene/plot of sorts, I guess?

I want to say that number two is a shoe. *shrugs* I might be wrong, though.

Alright! Genfic, hm? *rubs fingers together* Been a while since I've done genfic. We'll see how this goes.

A follow up on the crackfic of Ed and Al turning into girls? *hopeful* I'll even give you details on the cause and stuff, if you want.

When is a door not a door?

I sat and stared at the last one for a bit, but I actually know it. At least one answer. And it came from a childrens book, too.

Lightening.

I'll stop answering them now, if you want.

Am I supposed to answer that?

And if that's what you want, that's what you get. Oddly enought, I read your request and started getting ideas for it. *shakes head* Details would be appreciated.

No, don't stop answering. I'm gonna have to do something though. Make up my own maybe. So, what ELSE do you want?

Oh, riddles! I haven't done these in a while.

Riddle 4: a cloud? Probably not right, but it can't hurt to try.

Correct! Submit your request please!

Yay! HoS Looking Glass Wrath fic?

It's hard to find decent Wrath fic. Actually, it's hard to find Wrath fic, period. That's probably beause he annoyed the crap out of most of the audience in the series, but that still doesn't make it right to drop him off the face of the Earth.

Besides, I'd think it's be fun to see Wrath and Nina have at it. =)

Oh Boy. *goes to call Roy since Wrath isn't cooperating at all.*
