The "I-got-this challenge"
Since the "spooktober contest 2019" revealed a certain time problem, i thought of something a bit more open ended. Since my last attempt at an "open collaboration (Laughter in the Tomb)" failed i thought i should not attempt something resembling that collaboration and try something different. So, this is my attempt to do that.
There is no price to this (nether to pay nor to gain) other than perhaps a few good, new stories.
The challenge
- Write a story with a confident protagonist
- Use existing material as inspiration or set-dressing
- Have something go horribly wrong, with the protagonist remaining confident
- Bonus points if the protagonist is unaware that something is horribly wrong and in order to figure out what is wrong the story requires knowledge of external material
- You may kill your protagonist as appropriate
- Link to all "required reading" in a post attached to the article (be specific, if appropriate)
This challenge is open ended, so it is never to late to participate. (That means you too, lurker in 2022). The question, "is this still active?" must never be asked. Unless otherwise stated, yes, yes it is still active.
Whether this has any effect or just disappears into the night, the challenge is issued.
