October challenge

[annwfyn]

So, if you go here you should find the list of religious festivals in October. There are quite a few - one for almost every major religion I think. I would draw your attention, in particular, to Halloween, Diwali, Yom Kippur and Dussera

And you didn't think to call the challenge 'Oktoberfest'?

I was a blind foolish woman.

~giggle~ you totally had your teaching head on writing this, didn't you?

~looks shifty~

Maaaaybe. ;)

It started with my realizing that October contained both Yom Kippur and Halloween. And I was really torn between which one to use for the central theme, because they are both really cool. And then I thought 'why limit myself to Judaism and Paganism?!?'

I'm realistically hoping for some pieces on atonement, some pieces on fear, some pieces on Halloween and I will write one for Yom Kippur. I think if anyone actually writes a piece on...say...Dussehra, I think I'll give them a prize.

I was more thinking the very last bit when you were telling us all to go away and learn something :-P

Um. OK. Yeah. That is totally a fair cop.

Ooooh...suddenly now you've given me November's challenge as well! Stories about your character learning things! And if they aren't good at that, I can totally set assignments!
