Title: The special birthday challenge
Post by: mare on May 01, 2011, 01:09:56 PM
This month AC celebrates their 8th birthday. It's hard to believe we've been around that long.

The challenge for this month will be a fun one and will also be anonymous.

~ You must create a short story (One chapter only) that has to do with celebrating someone's birthday. It doesn't have to be a BSB, it can be any of the other fandoms you would find on AC but it has to be about one of them. Not a girlfriend, wife, kid etc... only one of the main people in any given fandom.
~ You have to use the words 'absolute chaos' somewhere within your story.
~ Length doesn't matter but like I said, it can only be one chapter.
~ You may not let anyone know you have written the story by dropping hints in the chapter or using a character that is unique to just you.
~ It can be any genre
~ It must be edited. If it has tons of mistakes, I won't post it up.
~ No banners since it's anonymous anyway but still felt the need to say it. lol

This one will be a little different then stories submitted in the past. This time you have to PM us your story by copy and pasting it into a PM or attaching it to an email and sending it via the AC mod email address. Once we get them, i'll create a story called  "The Fabulous AC Birthday challenge" And it will become a chapter in that story and your name will be left off of it entirely. As long as you followed the rules above.

At the end of the month, we will put a poll up on the site and have you vote for which chapter you enjoyed most. The winner of the competition will get the month of September as their featured story month (unless you have been featured within the last 6 months. Then you'll recieve your month at a later date.)

I hope to see a lot of entries for this one!

Have fun!!

If you have any questions let me know!

I think it's a great idea!  Maybe people are being quiet in the thread because they don't want anyone to know if they're planning on doing it or not.  I'd like to, but you know me... unless an idea and a major burst of inspiration happen to coincide with a block on my other stories, I probably won't get around to it.  I actually did have an idea for last month's challenge, but then I was always just like, "Eh, I should be using this time to work on Undead/CC," and before I know it, April was over LOL.

I'm definitely excited about the birthday challenge! :D It's still early in the month - maybe people are spending more time writing this one because of the contest that's behind it?

we are extending the date for this challenge because as of now we only have 3 entries and need at least 5 for it to legitimately be fair enough to vote on one for the FS month. You have until the 15th to get your entries in! WRITE!!!!
