Re: Writing challenge?

[(Anonymous)]

Not the mod, but I'm just thinking...I think this is a good idea and I'd like to take part, but I don't think it should be during the freeze? Like I think that time should just be dedicated to filling prompts. Also did you mean the mod should pick a prompt from the meme? Wouldn't that mean some prompts would end up with loads of fills?

I would definitely love to see more daredevil writing challenges around though <3

OP here. I meant that the mod could pick a prompt, or any other idea that hasn't necessarily shown up as a prompt. If the mod did pick a prompt, I think it should be one that hasn't been filled yet. Or just come up with an original idea. It wouldn't have to be complicated. It could be "here's the first sentence, carry on," or even just one word like "rain."

I was once in a fandom with a writing challenge, and after the first time, the winner got to choose the idea for the next one, although that was in a forum where we were all registered users.

And the idea about the timing being during the freeze was just that, an idea of timing. It could be any time. We could have them once a month, or once every two months, on the 1st, or the 7th, or the 15th, or whatever.

Just to add to this, I know that the mod has said that they won't run a challenge but that someone else maybe could on a Challenges board and I have a thought.

A lot of people have been advocating for more fills related to characters like Ben, or Mrs. Cardenas - characters who for some reason were as important to the show but get less fic written about them. So maybe we could run some kind of challenge related to those characters to boost the visibility of those requests and add a bit of diversity/variety to the types of fics coming out of this meme? Either for fics about a specific character or a set of characters not generally explored (Father Lantom, maybe, or Marci could fall into that category too).

Just a thought.
