Challenge Mini-Games Challenge (Now Open For NEW 2024 Challenges!)

For the Xena quote challenge by @Kit' I have posted Siri

 

@earlybird-obi-wan , with #1 you get Ord Mantell, where Han and Chewie ran into that bounty hunter. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

 

@Kit' I wouldn`t mind taking number 4 in the Xena challenge and see what I can come up with.

 

The Women of Country Challenge​

​

Country music, especially in the '90s and early '00s, has so many amazing women artists who've written and performed so many amazing songs. This roulette highlights just a few of my personal favorites.

I think you all know how it works by now. Pick a number from 1 to 5 and I'll give you a country song by a female artist that you can use however you wish. I'm so excited to share some of my favorite music, and I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Dream Theme Challenge

​

[Image description: a surreal pastel room in a narrow skyscraper-type building. All four walls are open to the sky with only pillars at each corner supporting the ceiling. Drapes at two ends of the room drift in the breeze and there are clouds moving by. A set of stairs or two leads down; it's hard to tell because there may be some M.C. Escher-type architecture.] *

Welcome to the Dream Theme Challenge -- time to grab your notebooks and sparkly gel pens! Dream interpretation is possibly one of humanity's oldest and most cherished pastimes. There are as many unique dream experiences as there are dreamers, but there are common themes that appear over and over both from person to person and within one individual's dreamscape.

By the process of browsing through The Top 100 Dreams by Ian Wallace and reflecting on my own dreams, I've compiled a list of five themed prompts that will hopefully spark some dreamlike vibes for your writing! Your themes are, in keeping with the nature of dreams, very much up to your own interpretation. Each of the themes has a suggested prompt generator; these are just for extra inspiration if you want to use them and taking prompts from them is not required. Pick a number and I'll post the theme.

OH! I love dream interpretation and that’s such a cool challenge idea!

@Kahara may I please have #1?

Also, I will be back to post the songs for the country challenge later!

 

@Kahara …I shouldn’t….but I must! May I have #3 please?

 

@amidalachick :
1: Missing Pieces: Something should be there that isn't. Lost items, lost pets, places and people that simply cannot be found without great effort. Sometimes these are things that could reasonably happen in real life, while other times the unreal nature of the dreamscape is part of the problem. (Ever try to find a bathroom with a door in your dreams?)

Try the Random Noun Generator if you wish for more ideas on what may be missing for your character(s): https://thestoryshack.com/tools/random-noun-generator/)

@Raissa Baiard
3: How to Make Friends (or Not) and Be Influenced by Archetypes: Meeting a person who represents some fundamental theme or "type" of figure in their life for the character/dreamer (for example, the Wicked Stepmother/Heroic Prince/Damsel in Distress that you see in the Snow White and various other related fairytales are archetypes). This gets as in-depth as you want to go and if you want to look into the Jungian archetypes and various other theories on what archetypes exist in the human mind, that can definitely be a source of material (and also probably take some number of hours ).

Here is an archetype generator that includes many different kinds of character archetypes, some ancient and some pretty recent: https://perchance.org/201-archetypes

 

@devilinthedetails You may absolutely have #3!

Thank you all for your interest in this challenge, and I'm so excited to see what these songs inspire!

 

Sorry for the delay. It means I hadn't updated the challenge to say @vader_incarnate took 4, which means that there is only number 5 left.

So may I present you to number 5? I think it's got a lot of potential - "A strong person is one who is quiet and sheds tears for a moment, and then picks up her sword and fights again "

 

Should be able to work with that, thanks

 

For the Jane Austen quote challenge by @Mira_Jade I give you the first part of a story starring Count Dooku, padawan Qui-Gon Jinn and various OC's
It is Pebble fun

 

Continuing the three part story beginning in the Jane Austen Quote challenge with 'Pebble fun" I give you the second part in the Iroh quote challenge by @devilinthedetails .
It is We have a mission

 

For the Off the Beaten Path: SW Planets Challenge by @Thumper09 I have rescue on Ord Mantell It concludes a three part story

 

@amidalachick may I have 1 for the women of country challenge?

 

Awesome! I added it to the challenge post index. Thanks for sharing!

For my own challenge response, I think I'm finally done with my background research for what I want to do. Now I just have to figure out how to write the silly thing.

 

@Kahara may I have #5 in Your Dreams Theme?
