Characters ♡ The OTP & Pairing Thread ♡ | Challenge #34 Posted: Sonnets Roulette! (4/17, p. 92, #2282)

Left hand horizontal row for me, please/

 

That’s totally fine! There aren’t really any sign-ups for this one; anyone can take any row/column/diagonal, and more than one person may take the same one. Just when you post your story, remind us which one you’re using.

 

Oh, such an awesome idea! There have been a few bingo challenges around the internet that I've wanted to write for and it hasn't worked out so I'm hoping the muse cooperates for this one. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

 

This response was even more predictable than Vi and Elli's tendency to turn any prompt angsty

Lots of potential with this challenge, I like it

 

Hello everyone! A question for the sock or anyone who might know: is it OK to combine responses to this thread's challenges with responses to other challenges? I looked at the opening posts and skimmed the past several pages but didn't see anything. Thanks!

 

Thanks

 

My entry for the Bingo Challenge is posted: ‘She’, featuring my OC Matthias Ruud and a bunch of other people. This is more of a character study than a proper OTP story, but for the purpose of this challenge the pairing is Matthias Ruud/Valeria Dalissis.

I used the second row of prompts (unnecessary, I know, push/pull, love is patient, vow) and combined this challenge with last year's Kessel Run long vignette, because you know, better late than never

 

My entry for the Bingo challenge is here Lunch with Tahl? featuring the pairing Qui-Gon Jinn and Tahl. Words used are
“Please”, Vow, Interruption, Weather the storm, Morning/noon/night

 

Great, two entries already! @Chyntuck and @earlybird-obi-wan , I've updated the index with your contributions. Thank you both so much!

 

Me again, just letting you know we’re now at the one-month mark! Stories for this challenge come due on March 12.

 

Throwing my hat in the ring with "Allies". I hope you guys like angst.

 

My entry: The Song of Experience. (Which, in full disclosure, is doing double-duty here and for Week Six of the Kessel Run.)

I used the diagonal row with the following prompts: epiphany, "I know," heart, confession, and morning/noon/night.

 

@UltramassiveUbersue and @Pandora , I've got both of your entries in; thanks so much! We're up to four now, which I think is mighty respectable given that the Kessel Run is going on concurrently!

Pandora, may I please ask for the names of the characters who are the main pairing in your story, so I can add them to the list like usual? (From a brief glance, I'm guessing they're OCs?)

 

Ask (though I should have just included this up front to begin with) and I shall provide.

The main pairing is Amilia and Florian, and they are indeed OCs.

(I have to admit to some embarrassment that I'm presenting them here without their surnames. Which they obviously have, but--as they know each other well enough not to use them, which means I have yet to figure out what they are--they never appear in the actual story.)

 

Hey everyone! We’re now at the one-week mark for our OTP Bingo Challenge: stories are due a week from today, on March 12. We’ve got four in so far—a mighty respectable crop! Let’s see if we can keep the momentum going!

 

Great, thanks, @Mira_Jade! Always delighted to see another entry, and I’ve got it in the index now.

And now to let you know that we are at the three-day mark in our OTP Bingo challenge! Stories are due in three days, on March 12.

 

I did it! I wrote something for this!

The Moonlight Motel is also my Week 3 response for the Kessel Run. I used the diagonal with prompts Eternity, Imbroglio, Heart, Love is patient, "Please." Fandom is Stranger Things (of course ) and the pairing is Steve Harrington/Billy Hargrove.

Thanks so much for this awesome challenge!

 

Great! So glad you were able to come up with something for the challenge. I’ve got it in the index now, and it looks like we’re up to six entries! Nice!

Also, just a reminder to everyone that 11:59 pm (23:59) PST today is the last day to get stories in for this challenge, and that voting will begin tomorrow!
