New Contest: Ideas For Challenge Six
Alright everybody! It's that time of the month next week. And no, I don't mean that we'll be PMSing. I mean that we have a challenge coming up next Sunday! I have the go ahead from the lovely moderators to start this thread, and it's of dire importance that we get responses (kidding!)
Anyhow, all you'll have to do is give a suggestion for a challenge. A simple format to use is:
1. A phrase that must appear at the beginning or in the story somewhere.
2. A maximum or minimum number of words for the length.
3. A maximum or minimum rating.
4. Genre(s) that the story could be.
Anything else outside of that is totally up to you.
Here are the unused challenge ideas from the last time we did this, as our preliminary choices, and good examples for what you can do. These can also be chosen from, if that's not already clear.
From marymagdalen:
1. Must start with the phrase: “How the hell did that get in there?”
2. Must be a maximum of: 5,000 words.
3. Must be rated: PG/13 +.
4. Must include: A ride on a rollercoaster.
5. Must have a supernatural element to the story, but some humour too.
From Audrey2419:
1. It must include the phrase "There's a thin line between love and hate."
2. It must be a minimum of 1500 words, but no more than 5000 words.
3. It must have a rating of at least PG-13.
4. It must include the song Smoke Rings in the Dark by Gary Allan.
5. It must be about the end of a relationship.
From kazalene:
Must include the phrase: "I guess that makes two of us."
Must be a minimum of: 1,000 words.
Must be rated a maximum of: PG13
Must include: A boat
And choose a topic: Must follow the theme of passion (interpret as you will).
From *Sarai*:
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
So those are the ones that were left behind from last time. Now, for a new one, from me:
1. Must include the phrase: "There's something about this place..."
2. Must be a maximum of 1000 words (there's a reason for this)
3. Must be rated a maximum of PG13.
4. Must be a scene written around one of the pictures provided.
5. Any genre you choose, and any fandom. Just make it interesting! They always said a picture is worth a thousand words. Let's prove it!
And that's all. If you have a new idea, submit it in this thread. Have fun with it, and the decision will be made Saturday or Sunday, depending on when the mods decide.
