About
Oh No, not another bloody fic challenge
I know there’s a lot, but I built this one because I couldn’t find one quite like it. The main requests from my pet author were:
- Massive choice of prompt tables.
- A way to opt out of prompts that do nothing for me.
- A challenging amount of stories to write, but with regular rewards, so I don’t get discouraged along the way.
Okay, I’m still listening, so what’s the challenge?
Complete twenty of our prompt tables.
What? That’s it?
Okay, it’s a little more complicated than that. You must complete two of the Themed tables, two of the Un-Themed tables, two of the ‘Inspired By’ tables, and two of the Genre tables. Beyond that it’s your choice. You can pick the other twelve fom our vast selection, or build your own if you do the 'Size Matters' or 'Points of View' Tables. There’s slightly different rules for each different type of prompt table, you’ll find them on each listing.
Judas H Priest on a crutch, do you have any idea how many fics that is?
Yup, that would be the reason it’s called the Mission:Insane Challenge.
I have original characters, can I use them?
Of course, by all means. If they're in a fanfic world, please warn, but if they're in their own 'verse, run with it :D
What about deadlines?
I love deadlines, I like the noise they make as they whizz past. No seriously, this is a low pressure challenge. No deadlines. If you haven't posted in a while I might contact you to ask if you want to retire, but beyond that I'm really not fussed. Go at your own pace. EDIT: We have added one proviso, if you don't post at least one story during your first nine months of membership we will assume you've forgotten about us and delete your claim. That's enough time to make another human being, 100 words shouldn't be too difficult.
What about a minimum/maximum wordcount?
The 'Size Matters' Table has it's own wordcount rules, but for the others I'm going to say 100 word minimum, no maximum.

And I'd just like to thank g_shadowslayer of slashyheroes15 for showing me how to do textareas, and 50originals which is where I got the 'opt out' idea from
