Challenge #7

The Rules: *please see the site main page for any extra information on rules.*

1. Everyone is allowed to participate.
2. You will have until Saturday to write your piece.
3. IF you write a piece and submit it to me you MUST critique next week. No exceptions.
4. When you've written your piece please PM me a link to it. (And that means here on the FCG. You can't PM links on ff.net... please don't try.)
5. Next week I'll assign everyone who has written a piece someone else's to critique.
6. Have fun!
7. No challenge element is set in stone, but don't bend it TOO much.
8. Can be written for ANY fandom you so choose, so have fun with it!


Now I was going to choose just one challenge for this but the problem is that I can't. There were several offered in the “Pick the Next Challenge” thread that were just wonderful and honestly I can't choose between them. So, I'm not going to.

These are your choices:

Must include the phrase: "What are you afraid of?"
Must be a minimum of: 750
Must be rated a minimum of: PG13
Must include: Rain
And choose a topic: Family/the past
Submitted to you by: *Sarai*

1. It must include the phrase "Well that seemed like a good idea at the time"
2. It must be a minimum of 1000 words, but no more than 2000 words.
3. It must have a rating of at least PG-13.
4. It must include the ocean and a pier
5. It must be about some type of miss-communication whether it's verbal or physical.
Submitted to you by:Audrey2419

1. Must include the phrase “...when things were/are [that] simple...”
2. Must be between 300 and 3,300 words.
3. May be any rating greater than K+ and less than MA.
4. Must involve a person being in the state of breathlessness.
5. Must involve a past, present, and future.
Submitted to you by: LLK


Please make a post in this thread letting the rest of us know which challenge you're going to write for. You have one week to write your piece so, everyone have fun and start submitting to me as soon as you have something finished!

I won't be accepting any late pieces this time. Sorry if you're used to me letting you finish up at the last minute. Pieces not received by 12 AM EST on Sunday, January 25, 2009 won't be accepted. (Work written by myself included.)

Have fun everybody and thank you! I can't wait to start reading fanfics! And don't forget if you submit one you're required to critique during the week of the 25th!


Thanks gain!

I'm doing the first option... just because I can already see the story in my head. :D

I'm probably doing the third option myself. Mostly because I have the idea for it already.

We'll see if it turns out.

Partially because no one's chosen it and it looked all lonely, but mostly because I like criterion one. Hehe.

You're done? already? So unfair but I bow to your greatness :) I'm writing mine as we speak, and ignoring the fact that I got my exams round the wrong way, so I haven't done as much revision as I'd hoped, however I have suddenly got inspiration for my fic, so good thing I think!

Yay! And for the record I was the second one to finish this week. I received the first submission on Sunday evening. Talk about greatness... Hah. I was wicked impressed. :-)

It's either 1 or 2. I can't decide. All of them are great. I have an idea for the first, but I'm not sure what characters to revolve it around. I just like the second one because it can involve anything...oh! I've been hit with inspiration.

Okay, considering my awful writer's block, I may not be able to participate. But I will try my darnedest... Wow... My web browser is telling me darnedest is actually a word.

Back on the subject. I'll let you know which challenge I use if I actually write something.

Okay, does it count if I've got a story with one other chapter, and I want to make the challenge piece the second chapter?

Is it too mean to make someone read another chapter first?
