Title: January picture Challenge
Post by: mare on January 01, 2008, 08:26:26 AM: Howdy and Happy New Year!

I am calling this the conversation challenge.

I know for me, dialogue is a very important part of being interested in a story. If there is hardly any dialogue and pages and pages of descriptions, I am bored out of my mind and end up losing interest in the story.

So here is your challenge:

You must create a conversation between Nick and AJ based on this picture using ONLY dialogue.

~ It must be at least 500 words
~ Dialogue only
~ There is no maximum length for this challenge but obviously the longer you make it, the harder it will be

I have written an entire short story with dialogue only and it's probably the hardest thing i've ever done. lol

Good luck and have fun!!

Finally I've done a challenge like I've been wanting to. I don't think it's all that great, but yeah lol. I tried. Definitely not as simple as I thought it'd be. Had fun with it though :)

I thought I had the picture bigger when I first picked it but sadly, I don't. I think it was taken in the summer when they were working on NeverGone. I'm not positive though.

Wow Rose, that was fast! lol

Nicely done as well. It is hard to write purely dialogue.

Post by: Purpura Lipstick on January 03, 2008, 10:34:58 AM: my very first fanfic that a sample of was posted on my review site a long while back was actually only dialogue and it was more then 500 words... ought to be interesting if I can do that again.

Post by: starbeamz on January 03, 2008, 07:19:59 PM: Aww, that was fun to write and not as hard as I thought it would be. So, here's mine, and I'm super excited that lots of people are doing this month's challenge (as opposed to the last couple months LOL)

Post by: kevmylove on January 03, 2008, 07:51:52 PM: I've always wanted to do one of the famous monthly challenges, but either never have time to, or just no inspiration. But this one plain funny. Reading all the different dialogue. So this month I actually tried it and it's been fun. It wasn't as hard once I got started...LOL. Thanks to those that have already read and reviewed...THA NKS!

Surprise For You ;D- http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8769

By the way good going with Coffee and Cigarettes, I'm off to read the new ones... ;)
Title: Re: January picture Challenge
Post by: starbeamz on January 03, 2008, 08:12:10 PM: Aww, I just went and read Rose, and kevmylove, and rebellious_one's challenge responses, and all of you did a fabulous job! Like I said before, I'm really glad so many people are trying this one out!

Also, too bad we didn't have this challenge before the Felix Award noms went out because some of these could definitely have worked out for that Thousand Lashes/Best use of dialogue award...Fabulo us job everyone! ;D

Post by: rebellious_one on January 03, 2008, 09:35:15 PM: Like everyone is saying, this challenge was the shiz!! Lol. Funny as hell, and so interesting. Everyone who responded to this challenge did a damn good job, because it's all unique, different and funny as hell!! I love it when AJ and Nick are conversing in a story, it's just so funny to read. Like I said, great job everyone (And Mare, where's yours?! :P)

Post by: shrinkingviolet on January 04, 2008, 10:58:44 AM: Well, this is the first challenge I've actually done, and it was kind of cool doing only dialogue.

Post by: shrinkingviolet on January 04, 2008, 08:37:16 PM: Awww thanks, Mare. It was a bit difficult, because I thought I was finished and needed seventy-five more words. Then I got the idea for the end, so I plowed through until I got there, lol. :)

Post by: LenniluvsBrian on January 09, 2008, 01:49:44 PM: 1151 words! Yay me! Lol. This isn't counting the summary or Author's Note or anything like that though - just the story itself. Lol. This was fun! You can thank A.J.'s birthday for the idea too - this is what happens when you sing Happy Birthday to a poster - haha!

Hope y'all liked it!

~Lenni~

P.S. Can you believe A.J.'s 30 now?!?!?!?!?
Title: Re: January picture Challenge
Post by: mare on January 09, 2008, 05:27:45 PM: aww great job Lenni and Anita!

And yes, I can't believe AJ is 30 already. They are growing up so fast *tear*
Title: Re: January picture Challenge
Post by: LenniluvsBrian on January 09, 2008, 09:02:17 PM: Thanks bunches! Lol.

Yours was cool too, Anita!

Well, they need to stop! The faster they all turn 30, the faster I follow suit & I'm only gonna be 24 this year! Even that's coming TOO fast! Lol. And for some reason, I keep thinking Nick's turning 27 instead of 28 - haha.

HEY! NO whining about AJ turning 30! Because him turning 30 means I turn 30 fifty-one days (wait, 52, it's a leap year) later!! *pouts*

There's nothing wrong with 30 - it just seems to be coming way too damned fast.
