This is a day late. Sorry! I've closed the award poll for the previous rounds, and I'll have the winners' post up whenever the banners are ready, so be on the lookout for that.
Here are your challenge prompts for round 11. There's only one more round after this before we close this community for good, so I hope you guys find something that sparks your interest or muse.
This round will open on July 1st, and please remember to wait until then to post any responses, since
round #10 is open until June 30th.
Round #11 will be held from July 1st until July 31st, and fics must be submitted (or linked to) during that time in order to be considered for awards.
vmfic_gameon's Challenge Round #11 (July)
Challenge 1- Character Challenge
Characters: The other residents of Neptune
Prompt: Time to give some love to everyone else- all those other guys (or ladies!) who helped make the show what it was. Write a fic where a secondary character is your star (or at least also co-starring in your story). There's plenty of great characters to choose from and a lot of different dynamics to explore- a friend (like Meg) or a foe (Aaron), a love-interest (Leo) or a fling (Kendall). You can pair them up with one of the main characters or explore them on your own, maybe giving us a different perspective on someone we hardly knew (Corny) or a character that was pretty well-defined (Jackie).
Challenge 2- Monthly Theme Challenge
Month: July
Theme: Summer Heat
Guys, I've been waiting forever for an excuse to do this. Summer Heat = R or NC-17 rated smut fics! Write porn! As far as I'm concerned the dirtier the better, but it's up to you. Any pairings (or groupings!) are encouraged, slash more than welcome. I don't care if it's kinky as hell or soft and sweet, just write some sex.
Challenge 3- Table Challenge
July's Word Table:
(Courtesy of this
random word generator.)
Write a fic using at least five of the words in the table (but hey, why not try for all 25?!). Any characters/pairings/ratings are welcome.
Challenge 4- Apocalypse How?
It's the end of the world as we know it! Bring on the apocalypse for the residents of Neptune. Is it the bird flu? Nuclear war? Zombies? That's all up to you. You can focus on any characters or pairings you want. Have fun!
Challenge 5- Turning the Tables
A poor '09er? A straight-laced PCHer? A popular Veronica versus outcast Logan? Take a character (or characters) and put them in a position that's different from their norm. These fics don't have to be AUs; you can use canon events to cause a change in circumstance, if you'd like (Weevil vows to change his criminal ways after his season two arrest, or Logan loses all of his money in the third season).
Those are the prompts for round #11. Please spread word about about it so we can make the most of the community while it's open, because it'll be Final Round before you know it!
Speaking of the final round...be prepared for a lot of prompts. We're bringing back every challenge from before plus we'll have a bunch of new ones, so hopefully you'll find something to get you writing. We'll also be extending the round to two months, so you should have plenty of time to write, whether it's finally finishing up fics you started for other rounds or starting a new story from scratch. The story limit will also be lifted so everyone can go wild.
So feel free to take the banner to advertise the comm, because the more the word gets out, the more fic we're likely to receive. And if you've got any questions/concerns about this round or anything else pertaining to the community, let me know here and I'll try to get back to you ASAP. Thanks!
