If You Were... Challenge

Feb 19, 2011 14:00

This is a challenge that will require you to write about TWO people. They can be friends, lovers, enemies, acquaintances or complete strangers. Pick one of the prompts and write a story about these two people. To get a banner, you will need to write FIVE stories using FIVE prompts. The challenge will go until March 31st.

Note 1: You can use the prompts as literally or as figuratively as you would like.

Note 2: I will allow you to use the same PROMPT for the stories BUT then you must use different characters if you choose to do this. For example: Story 1 is about Character A and Character B and you use Prompt 02. For Story 2 you can use Prompt 02 again but the story must be about Character C and Character D.

Note 3: Your stories may be chapters of a larger story.

Note 4: Your stories can be about the same two people or you can use different characters each time (see Note 2 for clarification on this).

Note 5: Please use the challenge: if you were tag on each of your stories as you post them.

Note 6: There can be more than two people in each of your stories. There just needs to be two main characters that have something to do with the prompts.

Note 7: If you have any questions, please post them below to the Questions thread!

The list of Prompts:
01. If you were a cowboy I would trail you

02. If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor

03. If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore

04. If you were a river I would swim you

05. If you were a house I would live in you all my days

06. If you were a preacher I'd begin to change my ways

07. If I was in jail I know you'd spring me

08. If I was a telephone you'd ring me all day long

09. If I was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs.

10. If I was hungry you would feed me

11. If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light

12. If I was a book I know you'd read me every night

The song that I got this idea from:

I'm putting the bigger idea on hold just so we can have something current. It will be coming and it will be MASSIVE. Okay, not massive but BIG!
