The May Challenge
« on: May 02, 2009, 09:33:19 AM »
Fanfic Origins...


Yes, i'm copying the X-Men, why not?

Pick one of your own fanfics and create a short story about one of the characters before they ended up in the fic you picked. It could be a prequel to the story or something completely different. Just giving us some kind of a history to explain how your character ended up the way they did.

This one can be any length and even more than one chapter if you'd like. I'm being generous lol Enjoy it because it probably won't happen again.  ???

Of course if you REALLY want to challenge yourself, set some kind of limitation on what you plan on writing or pick a character that you feel the most distant from.

Enjoy and happy writing!

 ;D ??? <-- lol I like him, I shall call him Wilbur!

I forgot to mention no banners. Stupid me! lol

Hey, I did last month's, didn't I? LOL  I usually don't make any claims about doing them because usually I know I won't LOL; I'm not a big challenge person.  But I already have an idea for this one, so I will do it if I have time.  I have a feeling the "if I have time" thing is gonna be big this month.

Otherwise known as Tim Riggins... :)  Do they show Friday Night Lights the show over there?  Or have you watched it online?  If not, you should... he is so hot on that show, and it's a fantastic show!  No understanding of football required. :)

So yeah... topic!  Um, I do have an idea for this challenge that I definitely want to write; I just haven't had time and/or energy.  Seems when I have energy, I have no time, and when I have time, I have no energy.  Such is life LOL.

Ouch, Mare. I'm hurt. I know I disappeared for several months, but did you have to announce it to the world?

P.S. Oh how I missed you guys!
