Title: August challenge
Post by: mare on August 01, 2007, 01:24:40 PM
Okay this one isn't a picture challenge. Since the story of the month is a sequel, your challenge is to write a short story as a prequel or sequel to any of your stories you have out there now.


Perhaps a continuation or a whatever happend to...type story.

Whatever you like.

It can only be one chapter though but there is no word limit.

And it can also be for a short story you have written. It doesn't have to be from a longer novel.

I hope some of you do this, it'll be fun.

Also use this as a place to request certain authors to write on certain stories that they might not have thought about.

Like for me, Mersey if you write one I want to know what happened after Stay With Me ended.

Have fun guys!

Yups..

Owh, and I'm working on mine as we speak. Already have a title..


She's gone. And so am I.

Edit: I re-read the challenge.. and my guess is, that I am AGAIN not completely following the rules..  :-[ Shame on me.. I'll just have to write another one then..

Seriously.. I normally never ever break any rules.. only during these challenges.. What's WRONG with me?! :( ;)

Post by: RokofAges75 on August 01, 2007, 05:16:23 PM
What if you don't like any of your own stories enough to write a prequel or sequel?  LOL   I guess that's where the challenge part of it comes in.  I'd do it for Broken/BMS, but I already have a "prequel" type thing going with Footprints, and I don't wanna write a sequel thing for BMS until it's done.

Aww... how are you breaking the rules?  Is it not a prequel or a sequel?
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: Nijntje on August 01, 2007, 05:23:03 PM
I don't know how you're supposed to call it. It's kinda the same story, told from a different point of view. But with a different starting and ending point. So yeah, not a sequel, not a prequel..
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: RokofAges75 on August 01, 2007, 05:42:30 PM
That's what my story Footprints is too, although it does start before where Broken starts, so it's kind of a prequel too.  If I hadn't started it already, that's what I would have done for this challenge LOL.  I think telling it from another POV is interesting, whether it fits with this challenge or not.
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: mare on August 01, 2007, 05:43:27 PM
^ ooh save that one for another time. We'll be doing that as well.

you could do a sequel to Broken but told fomr the POV of someone other than Clare or Nick? lol like in the small space of time between when Broken ends and BMS starts
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: Nijntje on August 01, 2007, 05:45:08 PM
Who? Me? I should save this one?
I'm not that patient rofl..
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: mare on August 01, 2007, 05:46:43 PM
yes doing a story from another POV is going to eventually be a challenge lol
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: Nijntje on August 01, 2007, 05:49:24 PM
Hmm.. Nah I can't save this one rofl.. I'm way too impatient. And I have a lot of other ideas of well.. so I could probably write a new one. ;D

Yeah, I thought of that.  I'll have to see if I can think of anything interesting that might have happened in that space of time LOL.

I don't know why, but I just have visions of AJ dressed as a pirate! lmao
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: RokofAges75 on August 01, 2007, 06:09:53 PM
LOL!  For mine?  Hm... that's a good thought, maybe trying one from AJ's POV.  I'll think on that one - thanks for the idea! ;D
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: Nijntje on August 01, 2007, 06:24:11 PM
Done. Now I gotta think of one that really really really fits the rules.. rofl..
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: honey on August 01, 2007, 08:44:25 PM
this is an interesting idea... I have a couple of ideas. I'll have to pick one I guess.
Title: Re: August challenge

Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: mare on August 03, 2007, 07:58:11 AM
Okay since I keep going back and forth between two different stories, I have decided i'm goign to write two this month! lol

So i'm going to do a prequel chapter for one and a sequel chapter for the other. Maybe it'll get me into the writing mode so I can finish my Why chapter sometime this century!
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: Nijntje on August 03, 2007, 01:49:12 PM

Yay! This one is a completely different style though..

And Mare, can't wait for all three (sequel, prequel and Why) ;D
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: MaggieW on August 03, 2007, 10:24:17 PM
Ooh, I think I've got a good one that I just might finish by month's end - though I'm not sure, considering I didn't finish in time for the June and July challenges.  It was one I'd had an idea for, but uncertain if I should actually write it.  Maybe I will now.
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: mare on August 06, 2007, 10:31:32 PM
Woot! I finished my prequel so...

Into the Woods we go. :D a prequel to Shadow Woods by request.

Yes I do too! lmao I was oging to write another one but I might wait to see if anyone else does anything. Oh I do know Mersey is writing one though and it's awesome so far :)
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: honey on August 10, 2007, 10:08:27 PM
*le sigh* I love these challenges... I NEED to write something ...ANYTHING! I'll have to force myself to work on this one... My problem is that I never set anything up for sequels or prequels because I personally hate the idea of them. Hmmm. I also don't really have a lot to choose from. Suggestions anyone who has read anything of mine?
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: MellzBellz on August 10, 2007, 10:59:39 PM
Well I actually REALLY like this challenge and have ideas! Unfortunately none of my stories are at a position for a sequel yet as they are unfinished. And the one idea I have for a prequel for UMS actually wouldn't work until sumthin else is revealed that isn't for a few chapters. So, yea... that's my excuse for this month lol j.k
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: honey on August 11, 2007, 03:15:47 AM
Yay I started this challenge tonight! (lets all hope I actually finish it-lol) It was the first time I've even opened Word in like forever. Sort of felt good.  Though I don't know if I'm exactly following the rules here... It's the third story in my Baylee series and those are more like episodes, so I don't know if it counts. But it takes place right after the last one and builds off of it's plot line so I guess it is a sequel still right?
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: mare on August 11, 2007, 08:42:16 AM
^ I would think so lol

Ooooh!! I must see that, honey!  I've been anxiously awaiting updates to your Baylee series.  Any hints as to what's coming?
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: honey on August 15, 2007, 03:46:35 PM
haha I'm glad you're excited and sorry you have to wait so long between them. as for hints... well... um... I dunno. lol I should go finish it huh.
Title: Re: August challenge
Post by: LenniluvsBrian on August 15, 2007, 08:55:14 PM
Yes, you must finish it! *shoves yah in that direction* Hehe. Yes, I'm impatient, I know. Lol.

And Used To could be the start of something new, but I dunno. I haven't decided yet - lol. So really, it's just a new fic - haha. But I might put a link to my video in it - hehe.

I'm a little late posting the notice, but I posted "Children of Destiny."  It's a sequel to Blackmailed and A Second Chance.  I don't know if anything more will come of it; I suppose I'll have to see what kind of comments I get on it.  Here's the link:  http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8605

LMAO I just looked it up and it appears I started this challenge on August 11th... So last night I sat down to write the November challenge on the last day of November and ended up finishing this challenge story instead. *shrug* Now I'm going to write Novembers challenge today on this the first day of December.  Its funny, I was always handing my assignments in late at school too... Probably why I was a C student at best.

anyhoo...  here's my sequel story... FINALLY

http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8707

now off to go write my pet peeve story so look out! lol
