Your challenge this week is to pick a minor character from a WIP and write a detailed backstory. And by detailed I mean with dialogue, etc.

Remember, in order to receive points for completing the weekly challenge, you MUST declare it by Monday at midnight.

As always...



If this is your first time on one of these quests, you'll need to see the initiation pamphlet.

Also, I would like to remind everyone that any weekly challenge pieces that are posted on the forum will be eligible to be featured in our newsletter. Please post a link in this thread if you would like it to be considered.

If you could write your sign-up post in a similar format to the following, it would be appreciated:

If you try, you don't fail.

*loves siblingnickname*

Renna, my interpretation of the weekly challenge is this:
Write a story in the past of the minor character of your work in progress (current story, any story you're working on most recently)...I worded that horribly. Write a shortstory set in your minor character's past. (minor character as in, someone other than the main characters)
(Raven, is my interpretation accurate?)
Hope that helps.

0.0 I wike this challenge! Oh, yes, I love this challenge, I am very excited, yes, I am. Who shall I write about... * ponders estatically * I know, I'll just write about all my minor characters! Yes! * bounces off to write backstory *

* comes back when she remembers that that was not 'zactly how she was supposed to sign up to the challenge * Oops... * clears throat *

Goal: write detailed backstory of a minor character of WIP
Zone: GMT

* bounces off again *

*can't help but giggle delightedly at Juliet*

Timezone: EST
Personal Goal: Fractal Harrun

Weekly goal
Personal goal: Write at least five pages of 'Staffs'
Time zone: EST

Thank you for the encouragement.

I got the idea from a story I wrote once. It was a knock-off of the Big Bad Wolf, only he was really nice. XD

Also, yes, your description helped!

Yup.



Good.

Since I made my goal last week and saw how it pushed me to finish, I have come back for another round. As this week looks to be fairly busy, I shall cut back on my ambitions.

Personal goal: write 20 pages in The Conquering Light.
Time zone: MDT.

*Tiptoes back in with the hopes of not failing*

Goal: Weekly Challenge
Personal Goal: Write 500 words in Tavion's Fractal
Timezone: MDT

Actually.... Can I change my goal a few minutes after making it?

Would it be inclusion of the weekly challenge to make my personal goal rewriting the prologue of my WIP, and that prologue is backstory on the minor character? If so, my goal is like this:

Personal Goal: Rewrite Prologue with Kaios Backstory
Personal Goal 2: 500 words in Tavion's fractal
Timezone: MDT

If not, then my goals are as in the above post.

I believe so, Rose.

I finished the weekly challenge! I think I got carried away though... and I don't think I did it right...

Also, yes, I spelled William as Wiliam on purpose.

That is good, Renna! I really like it!

Goals complete!

Good job, Azzie and Renna.

Thanky kindly, BigBrotherWolf.

Now, to just finish my personal goal...

Yesh! Get to it! *will be working on his own soon*

I haven't even started on it. *winces* I'm a bad writer...

No you aren't, just go do it! Do you want to do writing "together" sometime on skype? That might help...

It definitely might. Maybe tomorrow or something?

LETSH DO IT!

All right! XD Let me go get my novel uploaded on this computer real quick.

My personal goal is now complete!

Yay!

Personal goal complete.

Weekly goal completed twice! One is almost 1,500 words and the other is almost 350 words. Here is the link to the shortest one.

Good job Faith and Astronomer!

I finished my personal goal, but I'm still pushing to reach page 50 by the end of tomorrow.

Nice job, Tarin!

I did the weekly challenge eleven times so far...they are all over 600 words, do they count or ought they to have been longer?

I think they count. Great job!

Wow, congratulations, Juliet!

I just finished the weekly goal a third time! You gotta love word wars .

Weekly and personal goals complete!

Good job, Aratrea!

My goals are finally completed. *tired sigh*

Thanks!

Weekly goal complete! Finally.

Yay!
