Title: The May Challenge
Post by: mare 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 that's awesome as long as you're not the token "Cool, sounds like a great idea, I might do this one." Person who always comes in and says that and never is heard from again. lol

This is something I could actually do too!  I actually have a couple of ideas for this one!

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.

I tried to do last month's but it didn't come out very good at all, I just couldn't do it.  So I'll have a go this time :)

Is Gambit the one that's played by Taylor Kitsch?  If so, yes!!  I'd see the movie for him LOL.

not trying to get off topic here but YES, the taylor dude :D my friends and I even refer to the movie as 'Gambit' instead of Wolverine. haha...

ok back on topic ppl!  ;D

Sure, you don't come in here for years and when you do, you make my challenge thread go off topic, nice! LMAO

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!

Hehe, hiya Mare! I couldn't help than to glance through this thread and reply. Although I haven't been MIA forever, I would certainly like to attempt to do a response to this month's challenge, see if I can get my creative juices flowing once again (if I still have it, haha.) and see where that takes me, haha.

I miss you all!!!  :)

And ooh... new pretty icons!!  8-) ??? sooo shiney, haha.

LOL. Hi Rose!! Isn't that the same thing you posted in my "departure" thread? Haha. Love it nonetheless.
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: Rose on May 16, 2009, 08:28:15 PM
Yes it totally is, cause I still love that one.

That and I'm tired after work so yeah, limited randomness right now.
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: mers on May 16, 2009, 11:42:40 PM
They used to show the first season here but it's always at a time when I'm never home! That dude, Garrett Hedlund is in FNL too right? He's cute :D heh...im looking for filler shows for the summer, i'd probably check this one out :)

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. :)

but you still love me  :bighug:

and I did write for this challenge. It's a short one though, I don't trust myself enough to write more than this for now :D

Post by: RokofAges75 on May 17, 2009, 10:21:11 AM
Wow, welcome back everyone!  And go Mersey!

I need to get my butt in gear on this one, but there's always something else I need to write first for one of my collabs, and no time!!  This might be one challenge that I do, but after the month is over LOL.  Summer is looking like a better time right now.
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: mare on May 17, 2009, 11:22:00 AM
I have actually started writing for this one. YAY! And yay Mers! I'm going to go read your right now!
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: mare on May 18, 2009, 04:12:08 PM
I finished my challenge story! :)

I decided to write a prequel to It Stays with You

http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9728&chapter=1

Woot!
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: mare on May 23, 2009, 11:02:44 AM
Just reminding everyone that you only have a week of May left! We only have two challenges :(

Mersey, you're story was awesome by the way. I'm sure it would love some company. I know mine keeps asking where its friend's are.

Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: RokofAges75 on May 23, 2009, 04:55:53 PM
I likely won't get mine done this month, but I am still gonna write one.  I just have a 00Carter part and a 4.15 part to write first, and I'm running out of weekends! :(
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: mare on May 23, 2009, 06:15:56 PM
Aw, well priorities first. You can always post it afterwards. Not like the thread is going anywhere lol
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: RokofAges75 on May 23, 2009, 06:56:23 PM
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: Jellicle on May 26, 2009, 06:49:22 AM
Being a newbie (and with enough courage from my collab partners *cough*Julie*cough*) I'm halfway done with mine and hope to finish it by friday. I really wanna do this one.  :)
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: cabybakes on May 26, 2009, 05:57:30 PM
I really wanted to do this one too, so I may come back later...I have been feeling pretty inspired on Casual the past week or so, therefore, I need to keep going while I have a little mojo because I haven't had much lately.  It is hard to pick what I would want to write about too, but I actually have quite a few ideas for this challenge...
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: mare on May 26, 2009, 06:02:08 PM
Welp, like I told Julie ladies, this challenge as well as all the others will still be here come June. just don't forget about it! LOL
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: cabybakes on May 26, 2009, 07:19:44 PM
What if we did a challenge to do a past challenge? HA!
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: mare on May 26, 2009, 07:21:59 PM
Don't laugh, we have done that before lol
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: RokofAges75 on May 26, 2009, 08:06:21 PM
LMAO
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: cabybakes on May 26, 2009, 09:53:28 PM
I love it!
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: Rose on May 29, 2009, 08:14:42 PM
Hey! I did a challenge! On time! When was the last time I accomplished that? lol.

http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9733

Anywho, it's not finished, cause Mare helped inspire a whole long idea that (since it's for 00Carter) my collab team is supposedly going to attempt too. But the 1st chapter is up before May is over anyway.
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: RokofAges75 on May 29, 2009, 08:32:59 PM
Yay Rose for getting a part in before the end of the month!  I will not be doing that LOL, but I'm still going to write mine... just probably in June or July instead of May. :P
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: mare on May 29, 2009, 08:40:45 PM
I inspired you Rose? Cool beans! :)  YAY!
Title: Re: The May Challenge
Post by: Jellicle on May 31, 2009, 04:13:51 PM
I did the challenge!! YAY! I followed Rose's path here and decided to post the first two chapters before it's finished though they are pretty brief.. As Rose said, this has become something deeper than a challenge so more will follow soon.

Hope you like it!
