Hey all!
So this one is pretty easy. Your challenge this month is to write something completely out of the box for you.
For instance, if you write nothing but romance, give us a thriller.
If you write nothing but suspense, show us your softer side.
If you are a bad writer, write something good lol (I keed I keed!)
Just don't be yourself!
:)
~ Write in a genre you are not comfortable with
~ Only a one shot (No more than one chapter)
~ No banners!
That's about it!
Have fun!!

I liked when we did this a few years ago, but did it under an alter ego so people had to guess who wrote what. That was a fun challenge, and I actually did that one! We'll see if I can get anything written for this... as always, I make no promises LOL.
-
Ooo, I'll have a go!
-
I remember that April Fool's one from a few years ago, Julie! It was really fun :) A lot of people participated in that.
I will have to think of something for this one!
-
Yeah, they did! That was fun.
I did sci-fi/slash/m-preg for that one, so I don't even know what genre I'd do for this. Hmm...
-
You can always write a new one using the old usernames since i'm sure none of us would remember them anyway lol I don't remember mine.
-
I think mine was super obvious lol
EDIT: I just went back and checked. Yup. Super obvious!
-
LOL I think I've written in every genre these days except for slash. Which no challenge will ever make me touch LOL.
If I can come up with something different for me, I may take a whack at it.
-
Aww, I think you should write a really steamy slash scene, Rose. Do a Nick and Howie one!
-
LMAO ewww. I don't want a Nowie hookup. :P
If I did do it (which I'm not lmao) It'd be a Brick story lol.
-
I might do this...not sure. I'm mad I missed the last one. I actually had one written but never edited and posted because life got in the way. lol
-
^^ You should still post it. Steph still posted hers today for last month's challenge :)
-
Hmmm I wonder what genre I should do cause I have written in several....I'm sure I will think of something! *cracks knuckles*
-
I'm trying to think of a genre too, hmm...
-
Well, I accepted the challenge and wrote Siren. I hope you enjoy it!

Different, but entertaining!

Here's my story
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10522
-
I'm writing a chapter that's pretty far out of my comfort zone right now lol. Does that count? :P
-
I actually have an idea for this! Now to see if I can actually find some time and motivation to get it written by the end of the month...
-
My entry: http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10523
My "out of the box" things were romance and first person.
-
Here is my submission. I usually write romantic comedy or comedy. So I chose to write a visual....this is very much out of my comfort zone. Its short and not very graphic. Hope you enjoy! http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10524&warning=5
-
Woo0t to all the stepping out of the box that's going on. I haven't really had a chance to read them yet but I will catch up on the weekend! :)
Keep them coming!
-
My submission...a nd my first colab! I normally write romance but I branched out to adventure/action for this challenge.
http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10530
-
If I generally write romance can i do a breakup story? will that count as different?
-
Doesn't sound that far out of the box, but if you feel like it's totally different than what you usually write, i'd say go for it.
-
Here's mine:
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10537&warning=4
hopfully it meets the requirements.
-
I wanna do this.... I'm trying to think what I can write. I kind of written a little of everything LMAO
Will ponder today!
-
Excellent :)
Everyone keep them coming. Maybe i'll try it too.
-
I've been pondering on what I can write and I can't come up with anything.
-
I'm thinking of writing a short story as Leighanne. That would be a huge out of the box moment for me, but doubtful it will happen. maybe a short romance told from the female POV. No clue. I did want to try it though.
and just FYI everyone starting in June, this challlenge will be a compition where you will vote for the winning story and that one will instantly be nominated for best challenge story at the Felix awards.
-
I've been pondering on what I can write and I can't come up with anything.
Just on figuring out what is out of the box for you? If you normally write Nick, write a Howie story (they make those?) or maybe a horror or science fiction short since you normally write romance!
-
Good idea about the voting system from June, that will be fun.
-
Good luck with the voting guys! I didn't think mine was that good, I tried...but there were a couple that were awesome! I loved Tiggerc128's story...that one was really interesting
-
I am about halfway done with mine, I'm going to try and finish it tonight!
-
There won't be any voting for this month. We're doing something special next month and then starting in June we'll be voting :)
-
Here's mine!
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10546&chapter=1
My out of the box things were writing in AU, Action and not using dialogue. It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be! I also used this as practice because I have a multi chapter pirate hunting story planned out.
-
I might do this.. It could cure my massive writer's block..
-
lol I've been super busy, I'm thinking about doing this even though I have today and tomorrow lol. I think i might possibly do slash, any ideas?
