Howdy,
Weekend Challenge Time! This challenge will start at 9:00 PM Pacific Time, Thursday March 28th and go until 9:00 PM Pacific Time Monday April 1st. Awards will be posted soon after the challenge ends.
I am calling this, The Kryptonite Challenge. This challenge is all about your character's weaknesses. We like to think of our characters as being the best there is, was or ever will be. Unfortunately that is not the case. Well, at least it shouldn't be. So, write a minimum of a 2,500 word thread that sheds light on your character's flaws, failures, ineptitude or fears. Does your character have embarrassing flaws? Focus on them. Has your character failed at something in a rather monumental way? Show it. Is your character especially inept at some particular task or skill? Let us read about it. Now, what I don't want to see is threads about simplistic, inconsequential things. When I think of Kryptonite, I think of how debilitating it is to Superman. Think about it on that scale. Imagine if your character is great in so many things but then they are forced to face the one thing that can cripple them; mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally. What is that like?
Multiple 2,500 words threads will improve awards. Multiple player characters can participate in a single thread but each must contribute 2,500 words in order for them to qualify for an award.
Make sure you provide links to your thread(s) in your posts here as well as word count for each thread. Also, offer a short description of what your character's "Kryptonite" is that you are writing about.
Enjoy!
