ADMIN: Genre Challenge 2010
The Running challenge is now closed, and it's time for our standing Halloween challenge. This tradition started in 2005, when pearl_o said:"So, you know, our stories have a lot of variation, but there's still mostly a common genre we all stick to in writing our fanfiction. So what I think would be really cool would be a Genre Challenge -- for all of us to pick a specific genre of writing and write our fanfiction in that, with its style and rules.
An incomplete list of possible genres: mystery, detective story, thriller, horror, ghost story, historical fiction, harlequin or regency romance, sf, fantasy, western, drama, children's book, Platonic dialogue, memoir/biography, academic paper, newspaper or magazine article, textbook, religious text, chronicle, guidebook, reference book...
Dress your fic up in its Halloween costume -- so much scope to choose from! What sparks your fancy?
Stories are due by Friday, November 5, Chicago Time.
