The 100 One-Shot Challenge!

Postby I'm Not The Only One » Tue Jan 13, 2015 7:38 am

      Hey guys! I'm not sure if any of you have heard of this challenge, but let me say, I've done this once to twenty, and I really want to try it again! Try what again, you ask? Why, the amazing 100 One-Shot Challenge c:

      I believe this challenge was first created by Prin Pardus, on fanfiction.net, and was originally meant to be just for Warriors by Erin Hunter. Basically what this challenge is, is writing 100 one-shots based on themes, which you'll find below. The best thing about this challenge is there is no time limit, so you can pause if you have writer's block or do five a day or whatever! I'm going to post some rules/guidelines just so we all fully understand this challenge c:

      The Main Aim:

      To write 100 One-Shots (short stories) based on the themes listed below.

      Rules/Guidelines:

      - There is no time limit! Complete one-shots whenever you want, take a break as long as you like c;
      - I'm going to put a minimum of 750 words per one-shot. Especially in this section of the forum, we're all writers here, I feel we should try and extend ourselves! There is no maximum
      - It is not a competition! This is a challenge, so it's at your own pace. But the fun part about doing it with people is getting support c:
      - Please post here if you would like to join, and as you update! (Make your own thread though c; )
      - Please do the themes in order!
      - Interpret all the themes however you like! It can be fan-fiction, your own, trying to get to know your characters better by putting them in a situation, a story told in lots of short stories, however you want to do it!
      - Any questions, please ask here!
      - How about for every ten one-shots, I give you a free pet of my choice? c:

        i'm DEFINITELY joining this, but i have a couple questions.
        there's NO time limit at all? because this is going to take me forever. xD
        so, for the themes, i'm a bit confused with the themes like "because", "either or", etc. without giving me a plot, what am i supposed to write about? for because, would it be "i want you to do this because ..."?

I am joining too! -Squeal of excitement and idiotism.-
This shall take me forever too xD I'll try though. I'll see if I can get in 2 a day, since I still have to do homework and work on my two long stories.
750 minimum? This will surely challenge me, but this should keep me busy cx
My post will be in the link to my signature.

      Yay! I'm happy to see some interest c: To answer your questions bliss-
      1. Absolutely no time limit! I'm most likely going to do one a night or something, as writing calms me down and relaxes me. I think it takes everyone forever to complete, so don't worry if you're ten days in and have only written like four xD
      2. To be honest, I'm not a hundred percent sure what I'm going to do either. I guess just interpret it however you like. Eg. "Because" you could do like a back story to why your villain's a villain, or what has made your character, your character ("I'm like this because" is what I'm trying to explain c:) and for "either or"... I'm a bit stuck too, but I'm sure by the time we get to these two themes we'll figure something out.

      If it's causing us too much of a problem, I'm sure we could think of two new themes c:

      @RunningRace- 750 sounds like a lot, but once you get into it I'm sure you'll surprise yourself c: The original minimum was 1,500, but I thought that sounded huge xD

Just a question though, on the list, is number 11 'ill' as in being sick? The word/caps threw me off xD

Hope it was okay to make it now; I got a blast of muse

My father passed away at the end of September after a long period of intense illness. I apologise if you are waiting on a trade or PM reply; please be patient while I come to terms and deal with the legal consequences.
