Dante's Stalker
"Outrun this!"
Hey guys!
Shadow and I were chatting not too long ago about bringing word prompts back to the forum. It was a hit the first time, and an even bigger hit when I resurrected it again.
So here I am again with another challenge for ye masters of the words.
Only this time, we're going to do things a little differently.
1.) It's not a contest as such so there will be no poll to vote as used to be tradition in days gone yonder.
The amount of likes that your oneshot/prompt-piece accumulates will be the number of votes cast for you.
I know! The 'like' option is going to be awesome. You'll even get to see who voted for you, unlike times past where members had to post in the poll thread to claim their vote. Thumbs up for convenience!
2.)As such, there will be no clear winner, hence why I said this is not a contest. The like option will never deactivate so you might be winning one day, and then lose the next. But don't be discouraged. The only thing you'll miss out on isa virtual cookie from moi. The 'likes' should be of secondary value - this is aimed at honing your writing skills, milking some creativity out of you and having *****fun***** with it.
Yes, I said milking. MOO.
3.)This is not a word prompt thread. This is a creative writing prompt challenge.
I'll give you a scenario and some material that you need to work with. You have to use your imagination to take A and B and give us a DD treat.
4.) I will be posting a new challenge every week on the same day.
Late entries will disrupt the thread, so please don't be late. You either meet the deadline, or you don't. If you don't, you're still free to post your piece on the forum, just don't post it in this thread. I want to keep it in order and would appreciate if you guys could work with me on doing so.
5.)The minimum word count allowed is 500. If you go less than this, then you'd better make it bloody good and punchy.
The maximum word count is however many words you can get into a single post. If you have to continue in a second post, take this as your guideline that you've gone over the word limit.
Unless otherwise stated in the challenge.
6.) Only one entry per person per challenge.
7.)You may post your piece in this thread, or you can create a new thread and post the link to it here. Whichever you prefer.
Please note: I know that many of us have grown up since we first joined the forum, but do keep in mind that there are young (somewhat) innocent minors who join. If you write something with hardcore lemon or squirming lime, please don't post it anywhere in these boards.
You can post it on a different fanfiction site and post the link to it in this thread, with a clear, good warning that it contains adult themes.
If you cross the line, consider yourself reported.
8.)You have to copy and paste this format with the applicable info at the start of every oneshot you contribute.
If you're only going to post a link to your story in this thread, it's compulsory that you still copy and paste this format into this thread along with your link.
Format to follow:
Title: (name your story)
Universe/Crossover: (DMC1, DMC2, DMC3, DMC4, DmC, V/D, anime, manga, novel, etc)
Genre: (general, fluff, action, comfort, family, crack, horror, etc)
Warnings: (potty-mouth, blood, character-death, non-canon pairings, OC insert, lime, yaoi, yuri, twincest, macaroni-and-cheese, etc)
Rating: (M - for mature content, T - for general audience, K+ - for kid friendly fluff)
Concrit: (Yes please/Go to hell)
Link:
9.) No original work allowed.
Devil May Cry fanfiction only, please.
Why, yes, I am being anal. Like you guys didn't see this one coming. Crossovers are welcome, but the main theme needs to be DMC.
10.) I'll concrit your work and beta-read it for you in PM as a 'thanks' for joining the challenge in the first place. This goes for every new entry each week. If I'm unable to reach you via PM, I'll quote you here.
11.) As this is a writing challenge, expect the challenges to become more...challenging as time goes on. Don't worry. You'll have tons of fun, and you'll be improving your writing at the same time. It's a win/win situation.
*Oneshots: it doesn't need to be a oneshot. If you want to do a continuous story within the challenges, you may do so. I only used that term as it's the most common form used for challenges/prompts.
I've tried to keep restrictions to a minimum.
These are guidelines that need to be adhered to in order for the challenge to work.
I have laid out said guidelines in way to conform to forum rules.
If you break forum rules, you're on your own, buddy.
Now go back and reread How this Works.
If you have questions, PM me
