Weekend Challenge - [3/28-3/30]

by **Gossamer** on March 29th, 2020, 3:31 am

Folks wanted a challenge!

This one is brought to you by chat. Mayhem and Octarus combined their two ideas and we came up with "You start something new and write about how much your character enjoys it and why they end up enjoying it."

That's it.

This contest starts at 9 pm tonight to 9 pm Monday night PST. Prizes will be for coupons of my choosing. Word count must be 2.5K per thread and you can submit as many threads as you'd like. Things like best theme, highest word count, etc all might factor in to winners.

Sign up in this thread. Track the threads you submit by posting links, a thread summary, and word counts. You have two days! Go go go!

I completely forgot that I have assignments due this weekend, but I'm signing up anyway and I'll see what I can get done!

Thread 1: To the Music
Word Count: 3,196
Summary: Aster goes for a walk to try and distract herself from late night thoughts, and somehow finds herself getting an impromptu dance lesson. She's surprised to realize just how much she enjoys it, for the genuine fun of it, the distraction, and the potential ability to learn how to move her body in new and more graceful, purposeful ways.

Total Word Count: 3,196

That was the only thread I managed to get done, but it was fun to write! Thank you for the challenge as always, Goss.

The pace of change - 2,574 Words

In this thread, Reed tries out drawing after a friend urges him to take up a hobby to break the monotony of training. He ends up getting much more out of it than he expected when he finds out that his dark half also enjoys drawing and they end up connecting on something he would have never expected from his brother.
In the end they resolve to continue to try their hand at it as it is something they enjoy working on together.

Thread: Fish Out of Water - Juli finds out Ines has never been swimming. Ines realizes this is the first time she's tried to learn something for fun, and not just for survival. WC: 2582
