The Cherry on Top Challenge
Cherry on Top Challenge
Members who wish to meet this challenge will complete ten fics/pics, based on a selection of flavorful prompts.
Artists! FanArt entries must be new, specifically drawn for this challenge.
Authors! FanFiction entries must be new, specifically written for this challenge.
- Since this is Dokuga Contest, all entries must involve Sesshoumaru & Kagome as the main characters. Their relationship can be either romantic or platonic, but those two must be the focus.
- There is no upper word limit for this challenge, but we ask that your challenge pieces be at least 100 words in length.
- The order doesn’t matter.
- Authors can use the various prompts to write ten individual pieces, or you can concoct a plot and create a multi-chaptered story. Yes, it's okay to use these prompts towards whatever serial tale you already have underway.
- Although it should be apparent how you applied the themes, I'm giving you a lot of leeway in interpreting the prompts to suit your needs. The stories do not have to involve ice cream.
- Stories can be of any setting, genre, and rating. Entries with adult content will be tagged ‘hentai’, and should be friends-locked.
- You can post your entries to the venue of your choice (like Dokuga, although FF, MM, PD, DA, AFF, and LJ are also fine), but you’ll need to do a post (with the link) here to have your entry recognized.
- These challenges have no deadline, so you can complete them at your own pace.
- This is not a contest; all participants will receive a banner for their efforts. You’ll want to collect a full set:
The banner set for the Cherry on Top Challenge are provided by forthright.
