Just like the customs competition, the fanfic section will start having a monthly small fanfiction 'contest/exercise' to get people more into the section and our fanfic writers brains going all the time!
The first challenge has yet to be announced (I'm confering with TSE soon - ) but please post here if you'd like to be on the monthly challenge list!! Thanks for your interest!

Hadley, I'd love to take part! I'm also busy with Kissing Daylight but I think it would be refreshing to do several shorter projects. I'd love to discuss ideas with you sometime.
I definitely think this is an opportunity that a lot of members could enjoy and appreciate, so my advice: get signing up!

I will definately do this. If it's monthly. It will be a good way to release stress of school. (I know I'm weird) I have no ideas for any of the challenges though. -John

Is there anything anyone would like to suggest? Well I definitely think a 'Where are they now?' type of piece would be fun to do. Nothing long, just a short story focusing on one or two of the characters after either 'Chosen' or 'Not Fade Away'. A Firefly/Serenity challenge would be fun too, as would a crossover story between another show! Buffy-Xena, Buffy-Charmed, Buffy-X Files, Buffy-Lost... could be a lot of fun. Or even couples that were never meant to be! Romance stories between characters which never managed to get it together. And my last suggestion... a flashback based story! Based completely in the past of anyone from a Deceased Slayer, Anya/Anyanka/Aud, Buffy, the fanged four... so many options for this one! What are all your ideas, guys?

^^^ I love all those ideas!. I think an Out of the Hellmouth would be cool, like a story with the Scoobies somewhere else instead of Sunnydale

Stories taking place in "The Wish" alternate reality could be fun too.

^^^ Yes! I think a poll might be best so that we can vote on the ideas for the first challenge. But anymore would be great! Oooh, I'm so excited.
Hadley - did you have any idea on how long we'd have to write them after the challenge begun?

Hey guys. I was thinking... What about an underused character fanfic? like the challenge could be to write a short fanfic on an underused character such as Kate, Clem, Jenny, Sam, Eve, etc. Or how about one month could be a Potential Theme and we could write about what the potentials that became slayers are doing. That could be fun. And one month, maybe we could all try to write another Buffy/Angel Fanfic Musical of our own!!! So those are just three of my ideas: 1) Underused Characters 2) Potentials 3) Fanfic Musical
that's all for now

i like the musical idea soo much i mean we have alot of talented people on the board and i think its a good way to let out steam! like say if you were angry at a neighbor you could express it in song and they wouldnt know
great ideas lostguardian

Holy dang! This is right up my alley. I've tried so hard to write my own FanFic series but I can't get inspired, maybe challenges like these are just what I need. Sign me up!
And I promise, no more disappearing acts!--I think this new computer ensures my being back for good.
