Title: November challenge
Post by: mare on October 31, 2007, 09:18:37 PM
Tis me again!

Well I hope more people particiapte in this one because last month's was a very poor showing with a lot of "Yay i'm SO going to write this month!" and then a whole lot of "Nothng!" lmao  ::)  ;)  :-*

This month I picked one of my absolute favorite recent pictures in honor of the new BSB CD.

First here is the picture:

(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/bitybella/challenges/132389_D1_2_016_B_W.jpg)

And these are the rules (stares at Nijntje <-- which I probably spelled horribly wrong! lol sorry)

~ Story must not exceed 2,500 words

~ Story must be told in first person

~ This story must contain at least 3 of the pet peeves mentioned in the pet peeve thread (Yes that's why I started it hehe)

~ It cannot be told from Nick's POV.

Have fun and good luck!

We're calling this the pet peeve challenge! lol

So I know it's not even November on the West Coast yet, but I was so inspired by Unbreakable, that I wrote a story to fit the challenge. It follows all the rules, and a lot of the pet peeves are subtle, but the funnier ones you'll definitely be able to spot!

Mare, did you really have to do that?! :( I followed all the rules last month!!! ;)

*hands Mare a cookie for spelling 'Nijntje' right*

Okay, like honey, no promises here. And I too want bonuspoints for participating in last month's challenge!

Now for a stupid question, first person is like: "I walked out the door and saw Nick standing there, staring out of the window." Right ?

Btw, good idea for a challenge.  I love the pet peeve thing especially.  I'm not even gonna lie and say I'll try to write something because I have no time and the time I will have will be spent on BMS or CB, LOL, but I do think it's a great idea!

Aww, Mare. I'm glad you liked the story. Half of the stuff I put in was purely for your benefit LOL Glad it worked! It was a LOT of fun writing it, too. The end was completely spur of the moment and cracks me up, too...

As long as I can get off my arse and finish the next H&H chapter I'll totally partake in this. I haven't done a challenge in YEARS.

And Nijntje is required to live up to her namesake of Rule Breaker, so don't pester her :P

tee-hee We like talking about the stories we'll write more than writing those stories. I actually had a lot of fun writing mine, though!

LOL I know, I noticed that too! Yours was hilarious Sarah! I am looking forward to writing one. I have plenty of ideas but i'm finishing up a new Thirteenth Step chapter first.

Post by: MellzBellz on November 22, 2007, 10:11:06 PM
I just got SOOO excited cuz I got an idea that I thought would qualify for the challenge, but I don't think it has any pet pevees (although maybe it does and I don't realize it *shrugs*)

I'm going to write it anyway I guess and just post it as a story and not a challenge, it's something I feel needs to be written.
Title: Re: November challenge
Post by: mare on November 22, 2007, 10:15:09 PM
Aww that's okay Mel, Nijntje never follows the rules either lol

I'm just teasing you Nijntje. I know you have been following the rules  :-*

i'm still watching you though! lol

I'll wait & see about next month's challenge....l ol. As it is, I prolly won't get to writing a new chapter for my latest fic until sometime this week - I feel so dang tired when I log on lately-  I blame having to get up early - haha.

Post by: honey on December 01, 2007, 01:33:24 PM
LMAO ok I couldn't let Sarah be the only one to complete this challenge and since November is over now, I took an hour to come up with a story.

I have to tell you, this was probably the hardest challenge I've written yet! Not because coming up with a story was hard, and not because the criteria was difficult. (Like the October challenge) But mostly because actually allowing myself to write that crap was hard. I gagged all the way through it. LOL I didn't get anywhere near 2,500 words because I just couldn't do it anymore.

Seriously. Ick. I doubt all of you will be able to read the whole thing. Haha. It's so bad!

ok here's the link...

LOL thanks for helping me out, Kelly! It WAS really hard to write the really bad stuff, but, eh, I think our stories turned out pretty good. Yours was amusing, and even the format was a pet peeve LMAO great job! (even if you did do it on december 1st LOL)
Title: Re: November challenge
Post by: honey on December 01, 2007, 02:09:16 PM
LMAO You wrote your "November" challenger on October 31st and I wrote mine on December 1st and no one wrote any in between us... hmmm. So, what's our December challenge now?
Title: Re: November challenge
Post by: honey on December 01, 2007, 02:10:50 PM
And LMAO It was soooooooooo hard to not separate those paragraphs!!!  I was going to make it all one big chunk with no punctuation, but I just couldn't do it.  :D
