May Challenge - First Impressions
julilly:
Omg I am the worst, I'm sorry. I'm still writing my April challenge story and here I am late with the May challenge. Take me out into a field and do away with me! :P
This month's challenge is called First Impressions and the idea comes to us courtesy of a fellow AC forum member - Dreamalittlebigger!
The premise of this challenge started with this statement: "No good story starts with 'I was eating a salad...'"
Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to take one of the following "terrible first lines" and write a short story about it!
The Rules:
- MUST be alternate universe (the Boys are not Backstreet Boys, give whomever you use a different occupation/lifestyle)
- MUST be first-person narrative
- Max 3000 words
- No banners
- MUST start with one of the following phrases:
* “We met in a bar.”
* “I woke up, groggy and sweat-stained, to find an enormous hole in the center of my black T-shirt, like I came out on the losing end of a battle against Mothman.”
* "It was a dark and stormy night..."
* "I haven't had sex in six months with someone other than myself."
* "This is a mystery about a murder I committed."
Happy writing!!
Carter-Orange:
I will definitely have a go at this one!
Sakabelle:
"This is a mystery about a murder I committed." LMAO.
Great idea for a challenge... I'll definitely do this one!
Purpura Lipstick:
Those are great. I scanned them to see if I wrote any of those lines already ;) heehee
I know I keep saying it but maybe I'll actually follow through and write a story this time.
FrickingKaos:
I'm so doing this. Already got an idea and which line I will use. I'm cracking up already haha. Love this challenge!
