The February Challenge
« on: February 01, 2009, 03:33:51 PM »
Hey gang!

I'm calling this challenge short, but sweet.

It's been awhile since we've had a picture challenge and this is the shortest month of the year. So, this is what you have to do.

~Write a scene of no more than 1,000 words about the picture I am posting.

~You can only use dialogue to convey your thoughts.

~ NO bannners if posting on AC.

Those are the only two rules because this challenge is going to be tough! lol

Because the stories will be so short, you don't even have to really post them on AC if you don't want to. Feel free to just post them in here.

oh and if someone else wants to change to a different picture feel free to post one. The same exact rules will apply though. LOL I admit I was just too lazy to really look around for a great picture and this one is one of my favorites.

I found this picture cute and amusing for this challenge.  ;D So I thought I'd toss it in the thread.

lol I'm still thinking about it. I didn't get to last months challenge until the very last day, so I need some time.

I sent out the feelers but I don't get too much out of that picture. Nothing comes to me. Probably because Kevin is in it.

you can use any pic you'd like. It doesn't have to be the one I have up there.

I'm more of a reader, but I might give this a try. If we use any picture, does it have to be the Backstreet Boys, or can it be something else?

Oh, that's a good question. Can we use other fandoms?

Okay, I'm going to attempt this one. Keeping it under 1000 words may be my issue (damn being a babbler...), BUT just want to clarify when you say "only dialoge to convey thoughts", you mean that you can only use dialogue period, or that you can only use diologue to convey character's emotions, etc, but can use prose to describe the scene/actions?
