Title: The October challenge
Post by: mare on October 03, 2009, 06:21:36 PM
We'll call this one living on the edge

Your mission for this month, is to create a story that ends with a cliffhanger.

~ Because it's October it should be a horror, suspense or mystery plotline.

~ Should be told in First person

~ There needs to be a twist somewhere in the story.

~ Story shouldn't exceed 5,000 (2,500 if you want me to read it lol)

~ Absolutely NO BANNERS for this story!

~ There should be no resolution laid out for the reader (Hence the cliffhanger)

Enjoy!

:)

I really should attempt this...hopeful ly I get something written. I wish my muse would stop hiding and come back to me  :'( and I just want to say i feel bad for not posting anything when I said I'm going to. :(

If there ever be a challenge where the requirement is you have to write something but don't finish it...i'll definitely have a lot to choose from, heh.

I really am going to try this month, I said that last month and then never got around to it, so this month I'm going to put more effort into it.  I like the idea of trying something different, I've not done horror before!

okay I finished my story but I've never done this before so what now? Do I just post it on AC and put up a link here or what.  :-[  Not sure what to do now. Sort of a newbie here.

Yep, you can do exactly that - post it on AC and put a link here.  Congrats on finishing the challenge! :)

Considering mine has been in the works since October last year... LoL, but that's only because I had finished a response for last year's October challenge and then decided to attempt a second response.

Yeah I was kind of thinking about doing one for each boy but I didn't know if I could do more than one, anyhow it's too late for that now.

I'll go and read them later.  I just spent all afternoon writing mine, only to read the required elements for the challenge and realise I've messed up!  No cliffhanger in mine, damn it!  I'll have to re-do it, lol.
Title: Re: The October challenge
Post by: Carter-Orange on October 24, 2009, 02:09:04 PM
OK, here's mine.  Hope you like!

Very nicely done all three of you. I think it's funny that you all chose poor AJ to pick on for this challenge and of course Nick as well.
Title: Re: The October challenge
Post by: ajsbaby on October 25, 2009, 07:03:31 PM
lol, yeah I noticed that too. It's because AJ's so sexy and most like to get in trouble and Nick, well that's for him always picking on Howie.
Title: Re: The October challenge
Post by: Carter-Orange on October 26, 2009, 03:27:14 AM
I know, poor AJ and Nick  :D

So I'm two months late on getting this cranked out, but if you really want to get technical, I'm a year and two months late with this. This is actually my second attempt at the 2008 October Challenge that I never finished in time. Hope y'all enjoy!  :)
