    Will continue the story in the future, but the fight regarding this challenge has now happened (chapters 1-4).

    Oh, d’oh, you guys! I feel so silly! Yesterday I was supposed to put up the voting post, but it completely slipped my mind. So here goes today—and the deadline will still be a full two (2) weeks from this post! Sorry about that.

    So, here goes! Time to VOTE on our OC Fight Challenge (Spring 2021)!

    Here are the stories we have in the running:
    Engaron against Gios by earlybird-obi-wan
    Season of the Slave by Kit'
    Skip of Breath by Mechalich
    There's Always a Calm before the Storm by Adalia-Durron/darthbernael
    Beyond Light and Dark by Anedon

    Birthday Wishes by Kit’

    Here's what to do: PM your vote to this sock by 11:59 pm PST on Saturday, June 19. (So you'll have two weeks to read and vote.)

    Here's what not to do: vote more than once, vote for yourself, vote using a sock as well as your normal account, vote for something that's not on this list or that is not votable, etc., etc.

    Here's when the winner will be announced: on or about June 20 (barring all RL catastrophe, like dates slipping my mind and things of that nature :p ).

    And here's what the winner will get: the opportunity to come up with this thread's next challenge! (I am glad to work with you on the latter if it would be helpful—just shoot me a PM.)

    Happy reading and voting! :)

    Thanks to everyone!

    So, apparently the community likes it when I tell stories involving ladies of dubious moral standing engaging in brutal combat...going to have to process that a bit.

    I have a question! Can our response for the challenge be part of a larger collection of works? I'm doing a decathlon for the Fanfic Olympics for my OCs, and I was thinking about using the current OC prompt as one of my "events", if that's allowed?

    Hey there, sorry I didn’t reply sooner! Answering as myself as it’s late and I’m tired. :p Yes, it is always totally fine for a challenge entry, in this thread or any of my others, to be part of a larger series, one chapter of a multichapter work, etc. I am also always fine with combining more than one challenge, and from the Olympics OP it looks like @devilinthedetails is, too—am I right, devil? :)

    Yes, @Findswoman is right that I am totally fine with people combining challenges as part of the Olympics. So it is a green light from me!

    Yes, it is ultimately up to the muse, isn’t it? Good luck with the story and the muse!
