Yep, and you write them according to whatever is considered "canon" in the stories they're from.  Like maybe Nick from It Stays, who has MINE scars all over his body, finally snaps and starts mutilating other people, like Howie from Sick as My Secrets, who will have the last laugh once he starts bleeding all over Nick.

That's a bad example, but I think it would be easier with one original character or two of the Boys from different AUs, so they wouldn't have as much canon in common.  Unless you wanted to go the whole doppleganger route like in Whatever the Night May Bring.

Ah... lol yes, I will stick to my original comment of it's not something I'd be into. But it is a good idea if everyone wants to do it.

Yeah, that's why I thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested.  I would still love to do an anonymous one, but I'm not sure what kind of prompt would be as fun as the fairy tale one.

But wait...wouldn't that be really easy to tell who wrote it though? Like if Nick had MINE scars all over and Howie was bleeding on people wouldn't everyone just be able to narrow it down to you or I? LOL

Yeah, it wouldn't be anonymous; it was a completely different idea for a challenge.

Yeah those anonymous ones are hard unless it's a genre or exact situation or something specific like that.

Could be take a cliched plot you've never done before and put your own spin on it.  Or we could all agree on the same one, like we did with the bus crash challenge.

What about a remix challenge, where you take a short story someone else wrote and rewrite it to put your own spin on it?  Then they'd have to guess who wrote it based on how it was twisted around.

Nick wakes up and sees four blondes and one red head staring up at him.

"Who the hell are you?" He asks confused.

"I'm Mindy, this is Cindy...this is Bindy and this is Mindy..."

"You already said Mindy."

"That's her name, there's two of us."

Nick tilted his head in confusion, "Two Mindys? I didn't even know people named their kids that anymore."

"Well they do Nick!" She said, holding a knife to his neck.

"Okay sorry...and who is that?" He asked pointing over to the red head.

"Oh, that's Mandy."

"She doesn't rhyme."

"Wait, that doesn't rhyme?"  

Nick looks for help...
