Monthly Challenge for January 2008: New Beginngings
"May old aquaintance be forgot and never come to mind.... May old words that I don't remember always be sublime..."
Okay, so perhaps that's NOT how the song goes.... but hey... it's a new year, why not a new version?!?! (as I prepare myself for rotten fruit to be thrown)!
So, who in the TV / Movie Verse would you like to set fun goals for? Jayne to stop sleeping with Vera? The Malfoys to stop hating MudBloods? Maybe for Dean not to be so angsty? Oh wait, no... most like him that way.
Let's see what stories we can create around this theme and how would your favorite characters wipe the slate clean or change a flawed habit? Again, these are some ideas... We KNOW you can be even MORE creative!!!!!
The deadline passes at the 2nd of February 2008 at midnight.

"Monthly Challenge: Holiday of light" by Rhapsody

Monthly Challenge for December 2007: Holiday of light
It does not matter in which manner you will be celebrating December this year: all events are devoted to the light. Whether it will be the longest night (Winter Solstice/Yule)), the kindling of lights for Chanukkah or sharing gifts under the Christmas tree with the lights on... That sounds ideal for this months theme.
Lets see what stories we can create around this theme, how would a character celebrate the holidays? All alone or would he or shee sharing gifts? Would a yule blog be placed in the fireplace? How would the Doctor look back on another Christmas season, would he think of Rose? What holiday traditions would Teyla have? What ritual would Willow perform for the Scoobiegang? Again, these are some ideas...
The deadline passes at the 2nd of January 2008 at midnight.

"Drabble challenge #27: Moral Greyness" by Viv
Started 03 Nov 2007: Ended Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:59 pm
Did you ever wonder about certain characters what their true motives are? Did you ever engage in a vehement argument with a friend whether a character consciously crosses a line, is he or she evil or not? In several fandoms there are characters that skirt that is-he-isn't-he!evil line. What to think about Qui Gon Jinn, Alex Krycek, Gul Dukat, Jayne Cobb for starters.
In this drabble, we challenge you to capture the grey area a character might be in, or not. It can be a brief character piece, a conflict that puts a character to the test that might reveal the hidden motives or secrets of your character.
FAQ: Fic must be 100 or 200 words exactly, no more, no less. Deadline will be Saturday, 17 November 2007.

"Monthly Challenge: Tales of Thanksgiving" by Rhapsody
Started 01 Nov 2007: Ended Fri Nov 30, 2007 5:59 pm
Monthly Challenge for November 2007: Tales of Thanksgiving
November has always seemed to be a month of reflection, whether it is because of the days of remembrance at the beginning of the month with all saints and all souls, or the festival of Thanksgiving at the near end of November, there is a lot to look back upon in gratitude.
How would your character reflect back on his or her life, how would a crew celebrate such moments? Would Jayne express his gratitude to be a member of the Firefly crew? Would Archer give Porthos an extra bone for being a great companion? What about Aeryn Sun, would she reflect on the life and second chance Zhaan granted her by sacrificing herself? What would Yoda have to say to Luke about his past marred by sacrifices of others? These are just a few
's.
The deadline passes at the 1st of December 2007 at midnight.

"Drabble challenge #26: Family Ties" by FatiferousPoet
Started 06 Oct 2007: Ended Sat Nov 03, 2007 5:58 pm
Whether you love them, like them or not.... everyone has a family. From the child orphan to the Adams.
Okay, maybe *not* the Adams (as they aren't represented here on this Fan Fic...) but you get the idea!
In this drabble, lay out a scene involving love, conflict or the many other emotional adjectives that surround Family. It might be a scene at a dinner table, a married couple practing in the fine art of expanding their family or a memory or wish.
What secrets lie within the Family Ties of your character(s)?
FAQ: Fic must be 100 or 200 words exactly, no more, no less. Deadline will be Saturday, 20 October 2007.

Monthly Challenge for October 2007: Ghoulish Trick or Treating
The season is here and the sun sets sooner every day. However, what goes on in every house on the All Hallow's eve or St. Martin? Are the streets only crowded with children with their bags for sweet or lanterns? How do they celebrate this tradition in space or on a colony elsewhere in the galaxy or would they even mention it when encountering a different race? This is your chance to explore this theme in your story.
So would Spock put candies in a bag of a child? Or would Angel take the day off because the streets would be crowded with innocents as wel? Ever wanted John Crichton explain the Halloween tradition to the Moya crewmembers? These are just an example to write about!
The deadline passes at the 1st of November 2007 at midnight.

"Drabble challenge #25: For Keepsakes" by NancyBrooke
Started 23 Sep 2007: Ended Sat Oct 06, 2007 5:59 pm
What would you want your character to give to another, or what would you want your character to receive to keep it? It can be anything; trust, an object, an heirloom to be passed on. Love, loyalty, a lightsabre, wisdom, a jewel... Think of the heart of the new sailor of the Flying Dutchman, what will Elizabeth do with it with Will at sea. Or what went through Digory's mind when Aslan told him to pluck a silver apple. How will Sheppard keep the faith for all of them during this unsure course they are in... you name it, for every fandom there is a bunny!
Enjoy writing folks and thanks to Nancy for this suggestion!

"Drabble Challenge #24: Destination: 'Any Wheres'" by ayani
Started 02 Sep 2007: Ended Sat Sep 15, 2007 5:59 pm
Travel to and from planets, systems or simply countries/states/towns have been the focus of many a plot point in TV shows and Movies. What's the biggest challenge, romantic spot or comedic place you can come up with for this drabble? Smut and/or action encouraged!
For example: i.e. What happened in Singapore that allowed Will to be captured by Sao Fang?? We all know that Will wouldn't have gone down without a fight, so what do you think happened? Use your imagination. Anything goes...
Get them fingers cranking and brains churning (or rather, strike that and reverse the order)! Enjoy!

"Drabble Challenge #23: Beginnings" by Rhapsody
Started 12 Aug 2007: Ended Sun Sep 02, 2007 5:59 pm
With most of the new shows starting their new seasons or with new crew members trying to blend in with an already existing crew, or with old characters leaving a show for greener pastures, this drabble can capture that moment. What did Wesley think during his first day at Angel Investigations? Or what did George really think once she saw the crew sitting at the table in the Waffle House? How about Lucius Vorenus' thoughts as newly elected head of the Aventine?
As always, sky's the limit! See what sort story involving this brand new start you can create in 100 or 200 words, give or take. Deadline will be Sunday, 26th August 2007.

"Drabble Challenge #22: Beast of Burden" by FatiferousPoet
Started 29 Jul 2007: Ended Sun Aug 12, 2007 5:59 pm
One of help, hindering or horror, unleash the inner Beast of Burden.
In this drabble, the writter will lay out a scene involving a fiction or non-fictional creature who aids, hinders or is indifferent (yet important) in your drabble. Perhaps a mystical and out of place creature trying to find it's way home or a much needed Dragon for Harry Potter to fight. A made up, newly discoverd beast that Mara Jade can not do without, much to her dismay.
As always, sky's the limit! See what sort story involving the beast you can create in 100 or 200 words on the nose.
