Summary:

How many different ways can you tell the same story? Different characterizations, different circumstances, but all focused around the same basis. That is the challenge issued to any author that would like to participate in "The Retelling Challenge".

For the first go round these are the specifications...

Plot: A conversation between two lovers results in the murder of another person.

Requirements:The story must include at least (2) members of NSYNC but you decide how much (or little) each member is featured and who your leading character is.

Throughout the story there should be some distinct action/habit that the lead (male/female) seems to repeat. Utilize your foreshadowing skills!

***Special Gift to You: This story does not have to be completed to be submitted to the challenge. This form of story can take a while to write SO, the bare minimum is that I want you to be at least three chapters in (if you're doing a multi-chaptered piece) by the time your date comes around to post.***

Summary:

A drabble is an extremely short work of fiction...the purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in an extremely confined space. 

I'm proposing an on-going drabble challenge. Short, SHORT stories, 100 to 1000 words, any genre, featuring any member that is an *NSYNCer. Crossovers okay, slash okay, AU A-OKAY. Anything goes, so long as the story is shorter than 1000 words and stars an *NSYNCer in a major role.

The purpose of this challenge is just to encourage writing on a regular basis, to expand our minds past the 86 chapter story, to revisit visuals and short snippets of work. We get better by writing and writing and writing (and reading, but that's beside the point. ;)

Pick a theme, a prompt, a lyric, a photo, and give your mind over to the pulses of fiction- the snapshot of a scene. 

And have FUN!

Summary:

You may be one of the lucky NF'rs following my crazyness on Twitter. If so, you know exactly what this challenge is all about... so get busy *wink* and start typing!

If not, I shall explain!

Talking to my BFF, the conversation over graphic sex scenes on tv or in movies turned into "would you ever watch him in a real life sex-tape if it ever leaked?" 

Of course my pervy brain later on Nsync-ified this and I posed the question to fellow nsync fans on my Twitter.

Needless to say... the majority said YES (some with certain conditions!)

 

I CHALLENGE YOU:

1. Write a visual (erotic, pervy, smutty, however you like it) with one of the guys making/filming a sex tape. He can be watching a sex tape too, but I think the first option can be more fun.

2. he can be alone or with a girl... surprise us.

3. Add a twist (a surprise, something creative)! Because its fun and always unexpected.... and it'll make your story stand out from the rest because i'm hoping this challenge gets A LOT of responses! :)

 

I do want to add a due date... I want authos to fee free to add to this challenge whenever they can, but let's say Valentines Day? Or before if you're as excited as I am lol!
