April 5+1 Challenge

Hey guys and welcome to April (I swear this isn't an April Fools Joke, scouts honour!)

I am incharge of running one of the challenges for you to complete this month and it is the 5+1 Challenge

I have decided to run this like it has done before so ...

Below the cut are 38 Five + One prompts which I have "borrowed" from various places. I have taken out the identifying information (character names, fandoms, information specific to fandom/character.)

NOW you get to claim one of the prompts. Post a comment with the prompt number you are claiming as your very own. Include as much or as little information as you want - the fandom, the characters, no info at all except the prompt number. If you want two prompts, claim them both. If none of the prompts floats your creative boat, let me know. I will try to come up with one that works for you. OR you can make up your own prompt. More than one person can claim the same prompt as well

SO - claim your prompt(s). Write!!! Create graphics!!!!! Post by April 30. Be rewarded! I am not putting any word counts or graphic limits on, create as much as you can (could be a good thing to do for part of the 100 in 100 challenge ... just a suggestion)

Work on a WIP would be fantastic!

[identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com 2016-04-01 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I had to stop at #15 or I was going to take them all. :D

So, #15 for my original fiction duo: the redhead and the cowboy.

GREAT prompts though! You must've put a lot of work into finding these.

I would like number 2.

I'm writing it for the Veronica Mars fandom, and it's perfect for Veronica/Logan (my otp in the fandom).
