Picture Fic Challenge...Picture This
« on: March 17, 2007, 01:09:12 PM »
I was thinking abt this when I was writing a fic which came about after i saw a picture of Howie. I thought hey, this could be fun for a challenge, lol. So here's a set of pictures. If you find yourself with a story to tell after seeing any of them, take up this challenge and share the fic with us :D it'd be awesome to see how many stories can be inspired by just a picture. Any genre is welcome! Your story can be told based on before, during or after the pic was taken. Anything goes really, lol.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.

11.

12.

13.

14.

To keep this thread alive (hopefully!), please feel free to comment if you're interested in writing on any of them so we can keep coming back to see if the fic is posted. You can post on chaos and give us a link here and/or share the fic here. Either way, I hope readers will review and comment :D More than 1 fic can be written for a picture, it'd be cool to see how many fics a pic can inspire, hehe.

Picture 7 is the one that inspired me and made me came out with this challenge. You can find it here : http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8341

Hope to see some takers soon :D

ps: i wanted to post this challenge on the issue a challenge thread on Chaos but im not sure how to do it with pictures...sor ry mods!

Excellent idea Mers lol do you have a word limit or anything for this challenge? I think i'm going to make a board for this separate and if I can figure out how to move this to that board I will so hang on a sec.

I know Ninjente also had mentioned challenges so let's see...

I'm not positive but it looks like Howie and Brian in number 9, to me at least.

Another question Mers, lol once people claim their pics can anyone else take the same pic or do you want it to be once a pic is claimed we PM it to the person and remove it? lol

Minus Dee who is using them all?

Also is there a word limit? I think you should probably set a word limit for this as well.

hey! so, i think we're still allowed to use the pics that other people have already written about (at least, i'm pretty sure Mers said that up top!). Anyhoo, I wrote one in the hour and a half I had between classes and I just posted it.  I used pictures 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10.  The story is called, rather unimaginativel y, The Challenge, and it was rather fun to write! Enjoy!

a pic can be used as many times. it'd be fun to read 2 different stories based on the same fic dont you think?

im not sure how much is too much for word limit. i say a short fic. but if any of these fics inspires any of you guys to make a long fic with it, go ahead! i'd love to read :D

is 4000 words too much? lmao.
