Women of Supernatural Gen Flashfic Challenge
[Edit June 2008: Please read the updated challenge guidelines here.]
The purpose of the Women of Supernatural Gen Flashfic Challenge is to highlight women--canonical or original characters--in the Supernatural 'verse.
The way this works is pretty simple: every Monday, we'll put up a prompt. It might be a song lyric, an image, a snippet of poetry, or a phrase. You have one week to write a gen flashfic from the pov of a female character.
In honor of International Women's Day, we're starting the challenge today instead of waiting for Monday. We'll skip this coming Monday, and then start with the regular prompt posting schedule the following week.
*By flashfic we mean a short piece of fanfiction between approx. 500-2000 words. There are no penalties for writing longer, have fun.
*You can write about an original or canonical female character (or characters). Hunters, civilians, villains, supernatural beings, and anyone in between, any age, set preseries, during, or in the future, any setting.
*Male characters and outsider pov's on the Winchesters are more than welcome, so long as the primary emphasis of the story is on the female characters/female pov.
*If you miss the one week deadline, no biggie, post when you can.
*Please put the # of the challenge and the prompt you are writing for when you post (cross-posting is just fine)
*We don't have a lot of rules, but we do ask that the story be gen, which means the primary focus isn't on a pairing.
(For stories with pairings that feature strong female characters, we recommend spn_het_love, or check out some of the stories from the various other challenges on spn_xx)
*Label your fic with a rating and any spoiler warnings if necessary
Feel free to let us know if you have any comments or questions. Thank you to the lovely mods of spn_xx, vaznetti and rez_lo, for letting us run the challenge here!
Fire up those word processors!
