Posted on 5/1/2008 3:45:00 PM by Nyki. - Writing Challenges
It's the Merry Month of May, when everything is growing (well, unless you live in the Southern Hemisphere, that is). So the topic this month is to write a story about something that's growing - but (isn't there always a but?) not as expected.
Please read on for the complete rules. Failure to follow the rules will lead to disqualification, whether you read the rules or not.

| WYSIWYG is What You Get |
|
Posted on 4/22/2008 9:17:26 PM by Dan. - Updates
It has long been asked for, long promised, and long bemoaned, but it's finally here; the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor is now installed and running. That means no more noodling around with HTML, no more rejected stories because the spacing didn't end up right, and best of all, no more GUESSING at what it's going to look like, because WYSIWYG!

Posted on 4/15/2008 4:02:08 PM by Nyki. - Writing Challenges
Well, for the first time in ages, we have a dead heat for first place. Now yes, I know that should mean there's no second place, but the challenges have been done that way since before I took them over, so I'll continue to do it that way. So there.
First Place: The Devil's Visage by jas
Two friends go on a roadtrip from hell. My entry into the March challenge.
First Place: Sidra's Folly by Stoneaxe
Sidra has a chance to receive the one thing she wants more than anything in the world ... and finds that wanting something and actually having it are not the same thing.
Second Place: Familiar by lenamilo
The challenge image is actually of my mother, so I made this one pretty autobiographical. After her seventeenth birthday, Marisol is told that she has the gift of communicating with animals. One of her friends is corrupted by this gift and she must face off with him. she must call on the beast of New York City to aid her in taking down her foe.
Third Place: Then Adele Came to the Wall by lesliweird
Adele courts the idea of anarchy.
Members Choice: Winged Midwives by warriorchick85
My first attempt at flash fiction, this story is barely over 500 words long. It's also my entry for the March contest.

| April 2008 Writing Challenge |
|
Posted on 4/1/2008 4:19:22 PM by Nyki. - Writing Challenges
A large proportion of fantasy is about a journey of some kind, but all too often the journey simply consists of people going from A to B on horseback. Your challenge is to write a story that involves at least five distinct methods of travel. They can be one journey or several, undertaken by the same person or more than one people - but each means of travel must play an important part in the story.
Please read on for the complete rules. Failure to follow the rules will lead to disqualification, whether you read the rules or not.

April's featured member is none other than BlackMagic528 and he has been interviewed by our lovely and gracious Fkurni. Congrats to you Kyle, and thanks for letting us show our appreciation.
Well, first of all I want to thank the members of the site for this honor. Obviously everyone that actually deserved it was DQ'ed, but I'll accept it, anyway.  I'm going to do my best to give a worthy interview. Never been interviewed for anything other than a job, so this'll be interesting.

A wendigo and a wendiket, two opposing races, strive to find happiness and love, usually in opposite directions, through a series of letters shared with each other. Written in epistolary style.

| March 2008 Writing Challenge |

Posted on 3/1/2008 7:34:07 PM by Nyki. - Writing Challenges
A couple of years ago, we had a monthly challenge based on an illustration, which produced some fine stories (I'm very fond of the one I wrote that month). We're repeating the exercise for this month, using a picture kindly provided by lenamilo, by a friend named Olivia Jensen. The picture is used by permission of the artist.
Write whatever the picture suggests to you - there's no right or wrong in an exercise like this (except, of course, for keeping to the challenge rules  )
Please read on for picture and the complete rules. Failure to follow the rules will lead to disqualification, whether you read the rules or not.
