Hello, brave wanderer, and welcome to the home of the Ridiculously Specific Challenge(s). (Notice, oldbies, that we've relocated!) All of our past challenges have been moved here for your convenience. If you're just now finding us, please don't hesitate to pick up any challenge that strikes your fancy; I don't believe in deadlines, so there aren't any. The most recent additions will be placed at the top of the list, and the older ones will be towards the bottom.

Happy writing! hugs





The Twelfth Challenge Which Is, Incidentally, Very Un-Specific

-Take three to six guidelines from The Evil Overlord List. Have the Villain, who may or may not be your main character, do the exact opposite of what the guidelines say.
-Include a nameless minor character that is continuously attempting to become Hero himself and defeat the Overlord. He fails. A lot.
-Kill off the Hero’s sidekick or another such character. Have the other characters behave as though nothing has happened.
-Give the Hero a hero cliché—tragic past, mysterious scarring, etc.—but exaggerate it.
-Allow the Hero’s love interest to be either 1) a cannon character or 2) a Mary-Sue.
-Incorporate your favorite movie quote in a scene that does not fit the original context.
-Bring the story to a close with someone accidentally falling off of a high place. Have one of the surviving characters make a sarcastic remark.

Bonus points if:
-The falling character falls on someone.
-The Villain/Hero, after being defeated, is sighted in a karaoke bar or on a street corner, singing for change.
-…the song that they sing is “I Will Survive”.







The Eleventh Ridiculously-Specific Challenge

The Narrator posted:
So it’s like this, guys:

Brightfeather tells me she’s got this idea for the next RSC, right? And so I say, “All right, send it over this-a way.” She sends it, I read it…and seriously, this challenge is, like, so totally the Snap ker-dackle, no lie. Feather is deliciously evil, whether she’s using her sockkie or not.

So here it is—with a couple of changes and a couple of add-ins. Because I have to feel like I’ve had a hand in writing these challenges, otherwise I go to bed feeling like I’ve accomplished nothing. And nobody wants that.

Ready or not, here it comes.


The Blue Ghostie Narrator Challenge

- The narrator must be already be dead at the beginning of the story. (And evil, too. Preferably a Sith!)
-Somewhere in the story, somebody must play with dolls.
-There must be a tea party.
-The evil ghostie narrator must still be as evil as they were alive and somehow be involved in plots to take over the galaxy.
-Must have at least 4 OCs.
-One OC must spend most of his or her time upside down (for a good reason).
-Must have at least one Jedi involved to stop said evil plot.
-It cannot be either Anakin or Obi-Wan.
-The Jedi may not be an original character.
-Must use the words 'smarmy,' 'pissant,' 'onomonopeia,' 'lietmotif,' and 'juxtaposed'.
-Must begin at sunrise and end at sunset of the same day.
-Must all take place on the same planet.
-Must contain some element of romance (in which the OCs are not involved).
-At least one of the OCs must be in league with the evil, dead narrator.
-You are not allowed to kill anyone.

Bonus points:
-Involve a snow cone in the foiling of the evil plot.
-Make mention of a street musician meeting misfortune at the narrator’s hands. Have said musician exact revenge on the narrator.
-Incorporate yourself into the story discreetly—unnamed, but mentioned. Do something plot relevant.
-Include someone finding the cure to a horrible disease…and then losing it. (Oops.)
-Parody a serious scene from your favorite movie or novel. (Mark this instance with an asterisk and give us a footnote so we know what it is.)
-Involve a character with a name that nobody can pronounce.
-Have an exasperated character throw something important out of a window.

The Eighth Mushy, Mushy Ridiculously-Specific Challenge

I owe you an explanation.

A couple of weeks (months?) back, I promised Layren that I would write for her birthday a Qui-Gon h/c viggie. Well, as you well (should) know, what she got was "Diplomacy", which, like all the others, has been severely neglected as I persued other things. And now, with NaNoWriMo going on (among many other things), I'm not in the mood or the condition to write much of anything.

L: Let me propose a challenge, then. tongue
L: To your, oh--Ridiculously-Specific one?
F: ...Oh my.
L: are you game?


I could hardly refuse her request, you know--I did, after all, give my word. And now, my dears, I'm afraid that you must suffer the consequences of my actions.

...Should you choose to accept, anyway.

STUMP THE PANNEL
(Round one)

-Must be Qui-Gon mush.

-Must begin BEFORE the climax has happened.
-Must have some element of angst.
-Must include a very detailed description of an ordinary something.
-Must have at least one "twist".
-Must have...

F: Sigh.
F: Guidelines or not? I'm writing the challenge now.
L: lol. Well, I just had a couple words I wanted included... tongue
L: adumbration, epiphany, alliteration, and silver.


-Must mention an animal making racket.
-Must involve the input of a terrified OC that cannot speak Basic fluently. Unfortunately, s/he has something plot-relevant to say.
-Must have mention of a character's maths homework.
-Must have a flashback scene.
Bonus points if the flashback seems at first irrelevant but is not.
-Must have a scene that takes place in the Temple.
Bonus points if that scene takes place during a meal.
Double bonus points if someone burns something.
Triple bonus points if that person burns his/her hand in the attempt.

*General bonus*:
-Include candy somehow.
-Have someone become stranded on the roof.

I love you all. cry

F: do you mind if I blame you?
L: lol Not in the slightest.
L: I will happily take all the blame. tongue

Ridiculously-Specific Challenge Numbah Three

OCs are underappreciated. They’re scoffed at, ignored, and given the back seats on the bus. Too long has this discrimination taken place…so is it any wonder why I adore them?

If you love someone, you have to let them go…So let go of that OC. C’mon. You can do it.

I challenge you, good writers of the JC, to spin me a yarn that is exclusively cannon-charactered.


Yes. That’s right. THERE’S MORE.

-Must involve a character falling off of a bridge. A big one.
-Someone must tie something to a tree.
-A character must use an alien explicative. (As in, it won’t need to be censored, ‘cause it’s not in English. wink )
-There must be mention of someone’s appearance.
-Banter. Can I say it again? Banterbanterbanterbanterbanter!
-Fire. What would a fic be without fire? And while we’re at it…make it a campfire. Yeah. A campfire.
-Two words: CAMPFIRE SONGS!!!! (Nah, I’m playing…They can be stories, too. angel )
-Some philosophical or insightful conversation must take place. Somehow.
-Someone must mention the sky.
-Someone’s plans must backfire.
-Mush, my lovies. I’d like some mush while you’re at it. Don’t you go drama on me. Light sorrow is okay, as are normal amounts of dread or sadness…but none of that head-squashing angst that you gave me in the last challenge.
-Guunga fruit is becoming a common occurrence. Mention it.
-Must involve (or at least mention) a body of water.
-Some local wildlife must wreak havoc on the characters. Humor me.
-At the end of the fic, it must begin to rain.
-Someone’s got to bleed.
-A strange plant must release its pores.
-We must glimpse something (or someone) from afar. Silhouetted.
-At least part of the story must take place at night.

Additional Notes:

-The JA/EU novels count as cannon, as do the comics, cartoons, etc. (As long as it’s not a fanfiction!)
-An OC CAN walk in…they just can’t have a name or a speaking part.
Yes, it's ANOTHER one. Apparently, my muse has gone challenge-happy; he won't help me update, but he's throwing all these ideas at me... and since the participants always do such a good job... batting

Happy Campers:

-oqidaun
-Commander-DWH

Ridiculously-Specific Challenge Numbah Two

Give me some angst. Yes, that’s right: angst. And I don’t mean that trivial “oh, boo-hoo, that cute girl in science class doesn’t know I’m alive” sort of angst that teens are prone to. I want a colossal, tear-jerker tissue-soaker tragedy of a fic. Make my cynical writer’s heart ache!


The Second Sadistic List (hearts, oqi!)

-Must involve a bassinette.
-Must be at least 400 words. (That's not hard, is it?)
-Must include (in the first paragraph) an onomatopoeia (a.k.a. sound word, such as beep).
-Must involve an abandoned cloak.
-Must include the words astray, myriad, disdainful, frailty, unwavering, motif, misstep, stifling, frigid, dejection, misplaced, moniker, satchel, kiss, teachings, methodical, loyalty, travesty, unreasonable, melody and rime. (Note: these are base words. Feel free to use other forms. I.e. motifs, unreasonably, etc.)
-Must be narrated, at least partially, in first person.
-Must involve a character receiving a correspondence.
-One of the character’s rationalizations must draw basis from a painful memory
-Must include some form of a flashback.
-Must include the phrase "Here we go again".
-Must use the phrase ripping at the seams.
-Must include a “blast from the past”. (Not the phrase, but something that fits the description.)
-Must have a scene that takes place at night.
-Somebody’s Padawan must be mentioned…as well as a Padawan braid.
-Something woven must appear in the story. (A handmade blanket, shirt, etc.)
-Must include a character getting lost.
-Must involve at least one OC (even if they only play a minor role).

Extra Fluff-Slayer-Loves-You Point-Scorers
-Include Garen, Bant, or Xanatos (or all three!)
-Include mention of swimming.
-Include mention of a near-death experience.
-Mention a story. Any story. Or even a poem, if you want. I'm not picky at all! angel
-Make YOURSELF appear in the story--in passing. (No. Don't turn this into a Mary Sue fic, centered solely around your visitation to the--NO! Don't! If you do, I'll come home, set myself on fire, and jump out a window. Be subtle here, folks. Clever.)

The Ridiculously-Specific “Don’t Blame Me—Blame the OC!” Challenge

Tell me a story about a mission that’s gone horribly, horribly wrong…all because of some really weird fluke. The outcome is unavoidable, really, but the main character still gets blamed. There must be at least one instance of obvious conflict, and the character in question must try to argue his/her innocence (despite the fact that it seems unlikely s/he will be believed). There must also be a flashback in which we see the memory from two different points of view.

Guidelines:

-Can be any length, preferably between 200 and 1000 words.
-May be written in any genre and any Era.
-Must include the words sporadic, insubordinate, guunga fruit(s), higgledy-piggledy, neon toupee(s), bombshell(s), waitress(es), chance(s), door stop(s), cadence(s), inevitability, and sentient life form(s).
-Must take place, at some point in time, on Coruscant.
-Must involve inter-planetary travel aboard a non-passenger freight vessel.
-Must involve, at some point in time, a character questioning authority.
-Must involve a serious miscalculation.
-At least one character must use a cliché quote at least once. Example: “Look before you leap” “The early bird catches the worm”. A minor character must use the quote “Pretty is as pretty does”.
-The character responsible for the trouble must use the words, “Don’t blame me!” in their defense, and must attempt to hold an OC responsible. (Note: The OC needs only to be mentioned; they do not have to appear in the actual story!)
-Someone must be read a bedtime story that relates (strangely) to the story that they are in.
-An illness must be contracted.
-The state of someone’s shoes must be mentioned three times.
-Someone must lose a sleeve.
-A character that does not belong (i.e. someone from another series, a character that hasn’t been born yet, etc.) must be cleverly mentioned by an offhand minor character.
-A small child must rebuke the main character for his/her mistake.
-Must end with the characters watching a ship departing.

I'm working on it... but I've been neglecting my sewing all summer, so I donated some of my writing time to the sewing machine. And now I have a bit more of my costume done, and a partial story. I'm getting there!

I promise you'll love it, else you can toss me into a pit of Jar Jar fans.

*thwap*

Come on, people... these challenges are fun, I tell you! Surely more people are up to it.

What, you don't believe me? shame_on_you Try it. Go on, open up Word (or your word processor of choice) and start tapping.

Until then, I'm gonna sit here singing camp songs at you.

*pulls out her baby guitar and starts singing*

Oh you can't get to heaven
In a tissue box
Oh you can't get to heaven
In a tissue booooox
Oh you can't get to heaven In a tissue box
Cause God doesn't want no little snots!
All my sins are washed away, I've been redeemed!

chicken ??

*sings to the tune of Ghost Riders in the Sky*

A chicken farmer went out on one dark and dusty day
And by the coop he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a rotten egg hit him in the eye
It was the sight he dreaded: Ghost Chickens in the Sky™

This farmer had these chickens since he was twenty-four
Working for the Colonel(™) for thirty years or more
Raising all those chickens up to send them off to fry
And now they want revenge: Ghost Chickens in the Sky™

Their beaks were black and shiny, their eyes were blazing red
They had no meat or feathers – oh! These chickens all were dead!
They raised that farmer up and he died by the claw
They cooked him extra crispy, and served him with cole slaw

So let this song remind you if you want eternal peace:
Don’t raise up harmless poultry for to cook ‘em up in grease
Remember: don’t raise animals that you will some day kill
For a chicken may come haunt you, but Tofu™ never will.

I respect that as a vegetarian. grin

It's horribly OT, but this is also good:
Cows with Guns

Ah, a vegetarian! I love vegetarians. I'm not one myself, but many of my friends are, and I have learned to appreciate much of their cuisine. Heck, it's a lot healthier than the slop the dining halls serve up. tongue

And now, for my next number...

*sings to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance*

My reindeer flys sideways - she's better than yours
My reindeer can cha cha - she can open up doors....

My reindeer is purple - yours is a pea green
My reindeer's a girl scout - she can dig a latrine...

*pouts* No OCs? That wasn't very nice of you. I'm still working on the other challenge. My inspiration left me half-way through it.
