Death Comes Calling...
Death Comes Calling...
Challenge 4 - Death Comes Calling...


Ok, this is a very simple one...

Take a character, any character you want from any comic you want... And kill them...

Simple right? No...

The fic starts with their death, whether it is by natural or other means, after they die, they meet Death.. Capital letters...

How you show Death is up to you, is it the Grim Reaper with black hood and cloak from legend... Is it the tailored suit and perfect gentleman from Meet Joe Black... Or the cute goth girl with the Mary Poppings fixation from Sandman...

There are hundreds of variations of Death out there, pick one that you can use for your own story and evolve from there...

Would your chosen character quietly accept it? Would they try and fight it? Maybe bargain with Death or try and Run?

That is where the story starts and how it moves on is upto you...

I look forward to reading what comes next...

Challenge 5 - Like Father, Like son... or Daughter?


Ok, slight change of pace here...

The idea is to write a fic, as long or short as you want, where your chosen character finds out their 'father' is not who they were led to believe...

wether this means they were adopted, their mother had an affair or whatever, that is upto you to decide. The main focus on the story should be how the character finds out who their father really is and then goes about tracking him down...

if this means they meet then great, but if they don't, why not? does the person not like who their father turns out to be? are they too drastically different or mortal enemies for some reason?

try to make the story interesting and emotional, for something like this you want to work on characters you know and can identify with... that way you can actually put some true emotion behind the writing and make it that much more engrossing.

Challenge 6 -  King Who?


Ok, time for some humor... i'm sure most of you out there over the age of 20 remember the movie King Ralph... well here's a chance to have some fun with it...

A character of your chosing, preferably an earth based one or you're going to have to do some creative writing to get it to work, is named as the last Heir to the Throne (Country of your chosing, Monarchy only though) and has to take their place as King or Queen of said country....

So now it gets messy... how does your character deal with being a leader of an entire country... does he have previous experience with leading? or if he's a villain, how are the public going to react to having them on the throne?

try and put some real detail into it :D

Challenge 7 - WE WANT YOU!!!


Simple one here, a character of your choosing, male, famale, mutant or whatever, is being recruited by the military for something...

If you want to use an existing universes' military structure, go for it...

How would the interview go? Do the military actually know about your chosen character and what his / her abilities are?

how will this affect their time in the military, would they still be accepted on missions, how would their powers affect how their squad mates view them?

Challenge 8 - In Memory of the Fallen 

 
Ok, now this one might actually require a bit more thought and history research than my usual challenges...
 
Choose a character, any character you want from any universe... now, somehow, this character receives ALL of Magneto's memories...
 
Sounds pretty straight forward so far right?
 
Well, the main part of this fic won't be actually dealing with the possession of the character by Magneto, but how the character actually deals with the fallout... I highly recommend looking through Magneto's page here, and then doing some heavy research on the atrocities committed during World War 2.
 
How will your character deal with the memories of Auschwitz? The memories of being a Sonderkommando and taking the bodies of his friends and family that have been slaughtered back out of the chambers into the buriel fields...
 
This challenge will no doubtly lead to some extremely dark fic's, so use your imagination, come up with an interesting character to recieve these memories, and do remember, Magneto is no slouch in the intelligence department either, to my knowledge he has multiple doctorates and speaks at least a half dozen languages.

Thanks, i'll be looking forward to seeing what you come up with...
 
i see so many comics talking about Magneto's history and experiences, but it's never a big storyline as to how those experiences and memories actually affect him

Challenge #1 from Mistress Redhead  

 
As Methos has not been around a whole lot I thought I would jump in and do a fan fic challenge for yall!  
 
Mine is about history meeting reality. Pick a character from a famous book or comic, think League of Extrodinary Gentlemen and have them create an event in history.. Confused yet? ok so here is how it goes.. lets take... Harry Potter.. right so Harry has been placed in the real world and with his powers and influence he has accidently caused the 2000 election to swing towards Bush... how did he do it? why did he do it? what caused it etc etc..  
 
need another example? or have you got my thinking?  
 
So the rules here are this, you have to give a real account of the situation, you have to make sure the character and the timeline of the event match.. you cant have Harry go back in time and Kill Lincoln.. they did not exist then.  
  
anyone keen? or is it too nuts ;-P
