Challenge The Kessel Run 2024 | 12 Weeks, 11 Prompts, 1 Wild Fanfic Challenge | Thanks for a fantastic Run!

Depends on the prompt. I might be able to use my Star Wars character, I might not, we'll just have to wait and see.

 

I have to wait for the prompts also; it'll probably be a montage of various characters and timeframes.

 

"Signing up," the madwoman typed, a stunning five days before the deadline.

I don't have an overarching plan--as any such would almost certainly fall apart at the first prompt--but this is my aesthetic:

 

I would

 

I literally am coming into this with no context in mind. I will read the prompt and go “oh geez. Now I HAVE to write about the time that Chewbacca was in a boy band.”

 

Not sure this is a good idea seeing how spotty my muse has been...but what the hey...

Sign me up.

 

@vader_incarnate Please do put this on your list. Oh, and there's that story about Vader's secretary you mentioned last year that I'm eager to read too

 

Single!Dad Vader sounds as fascinating as Vader turned into a cat

 

See, I could see Luke rebelling by finding the GFFA equivalent of Enya and playing it at ear-splitting levels whenever the Emperor calls.

 

I want both of these stories, please.

 

Maybe some cats or about the High republic or whatever. It depends on the first prompt

 

I’m willing to give this a whack.

 

I've been thinking of having a milestones theme for various characters as to their storylines /relationships.

 

The participant list has been updated! I'm very excited to see several new participants this year.

Only three days to go! Anyone else want to take the plunge?

And don't forget you can also use any of the existing SW characters from canon/Legends/wherever!

I just may end up going this route as well, if the right unifying narrative doesn't present itself.

Perfect

I know better than to underestimate you.

And it worked out wonderfully both times.

Most Elli thing ever.

lol is it telling if I say there's probably at least a prompt or two that would work for that?

That's the spirit! So good to have you aboard.

Very eager, iirc I'll happily read this one, too!

Luckily we only have a few more days until that first prompt is revealed!

Welcome to the madness!



It's almost here, guys! Rest up this weekend if you can, because Monday we hit the ground running.

 

@ViariSkywalker I’m the fanficcer who wrote Pink 5 stories. I’ve written a lot weirder than Chewie and the Woklings.

 

Sign me up for it! The last one was fun and allowed for some intresting short pieces.

 

“I haven’t been this excited since I CAN’T REMEMBER WHEN!”

 

I was telling Mr Chyn about what I'm thinking of writing for the KR over coffee this morning while our kids were playing, and then I heard my son tell my daughter: "It's not fair, tomorrow we have to go back to school and Mama is going to be having fun with the Kessel Run!" (and trust me, you haven't heard anything until you hear the words Κέσελ Ραν out of the mouth of a 6-year-old with a Greek accent).

 

Reminds me of learning who Esponbo Skehrpa was from a 4yo who knew who lived in a pineapple under the sea. Some things are just 100% more adorable in an accent and by a child.

 

Sneaking in under the wire to sign up, even though I figure my chances of finishing are somewhere between slim and none,

 

Participant list has been updated! Do we have any other takers?

(And don't worry if you're not sure yet or want to check out the prompts before committing - you can still join in after the challenge officially begins! )
