Predictable Chaos Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I was inspired by @Crimson Quill's picspam challenge but I'm terrible at graphics so this is the Title-tastic Challenge where you write a story based on a title given to you. Challenge Deadline: 1st of June 2020 Accepted Fandoms: Anything including OF Accepted Ratings: Anything accepted on HPFT Rewards: 1st place-award graphic, review of story and four additional reviews of your choice 2nd place-award graphic, review of story and three additional reviews of your choice 3rd place-award graphic, review of story and two additional reviews of your choice. Details: Option #1- The Super Challenge 1. Pick a letter of the alphabet 2. Look under the spoiler to find your title. Option #2-The "I like to keep my options open" Challenge 1. Look under the spoiler at the titles 2. Pick your letter. Spoiler A Achoo! B Because I Said So! C Case of the Carnivorous __________. (You fill in the blank.) D Drip, Drip, Drop E Eccentric Education, An OR Existential Equilibrium F Feathers, Fluff and Fantasy G Gillyweed, Gigglefest and Gilderoy H Harry Who? I It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad Castle J Jelly Slugs are the Best (and the Worst!) K Kiss and Spell L Lies Do Become Us M Muahaha! Aren’t I Evil? N Not Again! O Ostentatious Observations P Parental Units: Can’t Live Them, Can’t Survive Without Them Q Questionable Qualifications R Reluctant Renegade, The S Swirling Teacups of Terror T Twitter vs. Instagram U Understanding U V Visions of Insanity W What the ____! (You fill in the blank) X Xerox. Copy That. Y Yes, I’d Do It Again! Z Zigzags on a Zarf* *A metal holder for your drinking glass or those little cardboard cup wraps you get at Starbucks. Other Details: When you post your interest, please include the title you'll be using. There is no claiming. Titles may be used by more than one person. I loved to see how you interpret them differently. You may add a byline to the title to help shape its meaning for your story. Story must be new and posted on HPFT. It may be combined with other challenges but may not be additional chapters in a previously written story. The title must be the title of a story, not of a chapter. Judging will be based on the following: 30% writing style and quality, 30% creativity, 20% use of the title in the story, 10% mechanics, grammar etc., 10% because I just like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
