Challenge Monday Mush Mania | Discussion & Index

Hello and happy Monday, it’s (finally) time for another challenge. This one comes from @Findswoman

MMM Challenge #11: Just a Touch
Write a story in which characters show affectionate feelings toward each other through touch—
whether it's a gentle pat, a hearty noogie, a tight hug, a warm cuddle, or any other gesture (within the bounds of the TOS, of course).
As always, the relationship can be romantic, platonic, or familial.​

The due date will be Monday June 14, 2021. Happy mushing!

 

So happy to come back from a few weeks away to find there's a new challenge up! Looking forward to this next one and all the different entries.

I hope you don't mind me plugging my new mush one-shot Moving Day. It's related to challenge 2: Write a story about a character or characters adjusting to something new. I was looking for inspiration to kickstart some new writing and this really helped me lately.

 

I bring you Detour To Hoth... is this part three or four? I don't know.

Edit: Okay... so I didn't see the date there. Ack. (I thought "Oh, right on time for MMM! Yay!!!!")

 

June 10, 2021 a monday?

 

Oops! Thanks for catching this--the date should be June 14, 2021. I've corrected it above.

 

For the MMM A Touch challenge, I posted this fun:
A Subtle, Artistic Reminder

 

It's monday june 14 here in the Netherlands and here is Maranella even better

 

Hi and very happy, of somewhat belated Mushy Monday! Today is the due date for our latest challenge:

MMM Challenge #11: Just a Touch
Write a story in which characters show affectionate feelings toward each other through touch—
whether it's a gentle pat, a hearty noogie, a tight hug, a warm cuddle, or any other gesture (within the bounds of the TOS, of course).
As always, the relationship can be romantic, platonic, or familial.
​

We’ve had a couple of entries so far, but there’s still time to contribute!

 

Oh no, I really wanted to do this one and I completely forgot! I had an idea and was hopeful the muse would cooperate. June really snuck up on me and was half way over before I noticed.

 

Noooo! I think I missed this prompt during my month of pure chaos and mental melt-down. I might still have to write something belated for it.

 

Since it's a non-voting challenge, you can post entries inspired by any challenge at any time. We're pretty flexible and want to make it as easy as possible to share the mush.

 

*peeks into thread*

I have a belated entry for the "Just a touch" challenge in the form of chapter 1 of my fic Outsiders. The challenge actually spawned the idea for what was intended to be a one-shot, and in combination with the Fanfic Olympics the story became a behemoth – so thanks for reactivating my muse!

 

Hey gang, sorry I've been MIA for a while. I'm WAY behind on my writing and my challenges.
But good news I came back to my laptop last week and finished a one-shot inspired by the 3rd mush challenge: Vacation! (My muse is finally waking up again. So happy!)
It's Han/Leia mush in Did I Forget To Mention?
I realise I've missed the most recent challenge (11) - but I'm gonna use it as inspiration anyways and get an entry done for it by next Monday. Look forward to catching up and reading everyone's latest entries!

 

Thanks for the likes and comments on my previous mush inspired one-shot!
I'm way overdue on posting my challenge 11 but here is my one-shot for it anyways: The Absent.
It focuses on the Solo twins, Jaina and Jacen.
I look forward to reading and catching up on the boards. See you around and hopefully for another mush challenge soon!

 

Happy Monday, and welcome to another fabulous(ly long delayed) edition of Monday Mush Mania! To kick things off again, here's something a little different than we've done in the past:

MMM Challenge #12: Warm Fuzzies Roulette​

Here's how it works: pick a number from 1-15, and I will give you a cute critter from the GFFA. Write a story featuring this animal in some way. It does not need to be central to the plot, but needs to get more than a passing mention.

• Stories should be mush, or include a healthy dose of mush.
• They must keep within the TOS.
• Story prompts may be combined with other challenges. Chapters within longer works are also allowed.
• Mush is not required to be romantic in nature.

Stories will be due in 8 weeks, on Monday, Augsut 5, 2024. Happy mushing!

@devilinthedetails You get a bogling, a small furry creature native to the planet Bogano, as featured in the Fallen Jedi video game.

 

@Findswoman you receive a puffer pig, a mineral sniffing porcine species from Kyryll's World, seen in the Rebels episode "Idiot's Array"

And yes I would love it if you chose a number for me!

 

Ok, I have the durni, a small, rabbit-like species from Corellia, seen in the Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG.

 

Like Jedi youngling Lys Solay, I love critters of all shapes and sizes. May I have #14, please?
