Posts: 657 Location: Washington (not DC) November and December Nov 23rd, 2011 at 5:16am Print Post Well, November found everybody busy, including me. So I never did get around to posting a challenge for November. But for December... I admit, not everyone has my penchant for destroying planets in time for the holidays (aside from Matt) but there's December's challenge. The end of the world, destruction and mayhem. Actually bringing in holiday themes will bring added points. If you only have one solution to a problem - you're not trying. IP Logged

Got any tips for doing them right to share? I've got one: end the story with hope for the future. Most readers will forgive you any amount of mayhem if you leave them with some hope at the end.

That is, if I get it written! The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged
