Challenge 33: Protection
SO it's been ages since challenge 32 and it seemed like the time was ripe to set another one.
We had two responses last time; Double or Nothing from Jalenstrix and Two Many Jareths from womanroaring. It seems we're dwindling a bit so if anyone has any suggestions on how to perk us up again, I think we'd all like to hear them...
Anyway, onto the next challenge!
I thought for challenge 33 we could get down to fairy basics: protection. Protecting children against being taken by fairies or generally protecting your home or family or cattle or whatever from the fair folk (or their equivalent) was superstition 101 at various points in human history so there's lots for our fandom to draw on; but if people wanted to interpret the word "protection" in other ways, then by all means, go nuts.
We had been doing ok last year with a two-month deadline, so let's try that again, making deadline for this challenge June 17. That's almost midsummer's eve!
Anyone can participate and here are rachael1918's pointers if you haven't taken part in a challenge before.
Anyone is also feel free to set the next challenge.
Happy writing, Labyficcers!
